Couptivate

Ever make a purchase from one of those "Deal of the Day" sites? I have. Ever had one of those vouchers expire? I have. Well, that's now a thing of the past. Couptivate acts as a digital wallet that securely stores and organizes your "deal" purchases from sites like Living Social and Groupon. You can create settings to send you reminder emails when a voucher is about to expire so you don't lose money, and it's all on one page, easily accessed together. Couptivate is the perfect organizational tool for getting the most out of your daily deals and coupons.

Box Tops for Education

On many General Mills products, you will find Box Tops for Education (BTFE), which many schools collect to earn money for various items for the students. Each Box Top collected is worth 10c towards your school of choice. But now, you can earn box tops for purchases you make online also.

Click on the picture below to sign up & begin earning Box Tops for your school! If you don't have a school that you're loyal to, please feel free to use my kids' school, Deal Island School.

Frugals magazine: A FREE publication of coupons!

Attention locals! There is a FREE publication that you can pick up at area retailers which contains a ton of money saving coupons for local businesses of all kinds. It's called Frugals.

It’s published on a quarterly basis, and the coupons tend to change with the season. For example, in the current edition, you will find a coupon for Fireplace Supply Co Inc inside, and the business is also featured on the front cover. But, coupons aren't the only awesome thing you’ll find inside; there’s also a list of the various holiday open houses, craft fairs, festivals and special events.

In the current Frugals publication, I have already used 2 of the coupons. The first was back in October when I took the kids to the Night of the Living Zoo. We had never been before, and quite honestly, probably wouldn’t have gone this year if I hadn’t found the coupon for $2 off each admission ticket inside Frugals. Most recently, we redeemed a coupon to have any 3 flooring areas cleaned by Jet Carpet Cleaners Inc. I was also able to share coupons for The Gospel Shop & Subway with co-workers to save them a few bucks, too!

So, hurry out & pick your copy up today. I usually grab my from Super Giant, but they can also be located in several other retailers located throughout the eastern shore (Berlin,Crisfield, Fruitland, Marion, Newark, Ocean Pines, Pocomoke, Princess Anne, Salisbury, Snow Hill, Westover, Accomac, Cape Charles, Chincoteague, Eastville, Exmore, Greenbackville, Keller, Machipongo, Mappsville, New Church, Oak Hall, Onancock, Onley, Painter, Parksley & Temperanceville).

HOT new printable coupons!

Coupons.com has just released some HOT new printable coupons:

$1.50/2 Glade jar candles
$1/2 Mountain Dew
$5 Kung Fu Panda 2
$1/2 Vanity Fair napkins
$1/3 frozen Bacardi mixers

HURRY & print them, because they surely won't last long! I don't think I've ever seen a coupon for a Mountain Dew. Hopefully I can manage to print multiples of this as it is my hubby's drink of choice, and his "coffee" in the morning.

FREE Alaska book!

I can remember in 7th grade, being given an assignment to write a report on a country of my choice. I chose Australia. Well, if your student has a similar project, perhaps consider them writing about Alaska (yes, I know this is a state, not a country), and use this book for some awesome information.

Or, maybe you fall into the "empty nest" age range, and have always dreamed of travelling to Alaska. Use this book to plan your trip and get the inside scoop for the best places to visit and win.

Even still, just consider signing up to receive the book for free & donate it to your local school to use in their library or classroom.
