Watch the Box Tops Big Surprise

One of my favorite school related programs, and probably the most popular- is Box Tops for Education... this has to be the easiest way to help your local schools earn money.

I just got an email with the following information in it, and I wanted to share it with you. If you are already collecting box tops- keep it up! If you aren't, now is a great time to start, even if you don't have children/grandchildren in school you can always donate them to your local school, rather than just tossing them out in the trash.

	Did you know that by simply participating in the Box Tops for Education® program, America´s schools can earn over $50 million this school year? To kick off another year of helping communities raise money for education, we held a special celebration.
	Box Tops for Education was created by General Mills in 1996 as an easy way to help make a difference for kids and schools. Since then, schools have earned more than $375 million through the program to help get the things they need-from books and school supplies to playground equipment and computers. Help make a difference in schools by clipping Box Tops from more than 240 brands, including Cheerios, Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, Hamburger Helper, Kleenex, Ziploc, Hefty, Juicy Juice, Avery, Welch´s, Land O´Lakes and Brita. Find out how much your school has earned and learn other ways to earn cash for your school at www.btfe.com.
	Become a fan of Box Tops for Education on Facebook at www.facebook.com/BoxTopsforEducation Follow Box Tops for Education on Twitter at www.twitter.com/BTFE and if you tweet about the program, please include the #myblogspark hashtag

Oh look what the mailman brought!

Along with $23 in coupon values, the mailman has been nice enough to deliver all of that since Saturday. I also received two samples of Vaseline, but both of those have been "borrowed" before I could even get them in the picture. I'm not always the first to see the mail, so there may have been some other things but overall this makes for a happy few days!

Since you're getting some of my "drivel" at the moment, I want to mention that my Rite-Aid was sold out of almost everything I had on my list last night BUT I was able to pick up rain-checks for everything, so I have 30days to find and buy what I need. The one item they did have, the Vaseline lotion (on sale $2.99, with $1+up reward) I ended up getting, and paying a nickel for.... using my two $1+up rewards from video watching and a $1/1 coupon that came with one of the samples you can't see in the photo :)  So, I was able to make $0.95 buying the lotion!

Just remember, if your store is sold out, request rain checks! You don't have to miss the sale, you just have to wait a little longer to get it.

Spend $0.98 At Rite Aid

Important *Must Have* Rite Aid programs:
If you haven't signed up for Rite Aid's Wellness+ Program, you are missing a lot. You can sign up in store, or online- I recommend instore and then registering online for more special savings.

A second Rite Aid program is the Rite-Aid Video program, that can be found here. This allows you to watch short videos and earn coupons.

These are some offers you can grab using coupons we've already mentioned in previous posts and the above two programs. Enjoy!

Rite-Aid has 50 count Excedrin on sale this week for $3.99. Locally the best non sale deal on 50 count Excedrin is around $6.49, slightly over the "limit" price on the FREE Excedrin coupon offer, which limits me to getting 25 count bottles- making this twice as much Excedrin for the same "free" price. If you haven't gotten your coupon yet, check back here daily, as there is a "First 12,000" per day limit of coupons.

Total $0.00

If you received your free Vaseline sample you can pick a bottle up for a cost of $0.99, as it's on sale for $2.99 at Rite Aid with the $1/1 coupon from the back of the sample pack brings the price down to $1.99 *and* Rite Aid is offering $1 in Wellness+ rewards with purchase.

Total $1.99 + $1up

Simplicity Toilet Paper is on sale for $1, with $1+up rewards with each purchase. Let's get two.

Total $2.00 + $2up

Dixie Paper Plates, these are B1G1 free this week- $3.99/ea. And if you go to the video site mentioned above, you can grab a $3/2 coupon bringing the price down to $0.99 for two.


Total $0.99


So far, we've spent $5.98 and earned $3+up rewards. Not a bad deal, but it gets better. The video site currently has 2 +up Rewards coupons for $1 each... watch the video's and print them both off, we'll use them now bringing the checkout cost to $3.98 plus tax, with a payback of $3+up for our next shopping trip.

Final Cost: $0.98 (plus tax)
Items purchases:
2 (4pack) Toilet Paper.
2 pack of Dixie Plates
1 60ct Count Excedrin
1 bottle Vaseline Lotion.

$13.46 At Meijers will get you...

I spent a few moments at Meijers picking up some things... and here's what I got for $13.46.

4 boxes of Special K= B3/G1 sale, 2/$5 small box sale, 2 B1G1 manufacturer coupons  ($3.99 for the big box)
3 Pringles = 3/$4 sale
2 cans of Campbell's Chunky Soup =$0.99 sale each, $1/2 manufacturer coupon

1 loaf of Sunbeam Bread $1.49 sale
1 package of John Morrell hotdogs $1.67 sale
1 package of Dinner Bell bologna. 10/$10 sale

I had a total savings of $35.80

And, here's where I tell you I could of saved another $1.49 had I bought a smaller size Special K Berries- but they didn't have any, and I was shopping with my husband who REALLY wanted them. I honestly only bought them in the hopes it would make him leave my Honey & Oats Special K alone. Last box I had he ate almost all of it.

Swagbucks.com

I've been on the fence about this one, mainly because I use Chrome for my browser and as Chrome users know, there are no extra toolbars possible, so I wasn't sure I'd be able to go very far with Swagbucks- I am a busy person and the idea of adding yet another site to my daily list of "must check out" places wasn't all that appealing. Then I found out I could just make a few changes to my default search engine in Chrome- switch it over to use the SwagBucks search (no toolbar required) and decided to give it a go. You can check my SwagBucks progress over on the "About page" as I've added a little widget. I'm making it my "experiment" for the year, to see just how much one average person can earn with this program- after seeing repeated stories of people who did ALL of their Christmas shopping using nothing BUT their SwagBucks. Seeing how some of them were long time swaggers, they might have had an easier road to their shopping spree... I'm brand new- so let's see just how easy this is. And, I invite you to join me- try it out and see how lucky of a swagger you are. Who knows, maybe we will all be Christmas shopping with swagbucks come November.

And, for those concerned about the legits of this- I really do fully research things I add to my computer before doing so, I would never recommend anything that had a chance to harm/endanger/virus up any computer.

Swagbucks.com is a website that rewards you for doing the things you do on the web every day: search, shop, answer polls, and more. Each time you do these things you have the opportunity to earn Swag Bucks, the web's premier digital dollar, which can be redeemed anytime for hundreds of different prizes including:

* Gift Cards

* Video Games

* DVDs

* Exclusive Celebrity Photos & Autographs

* Apparel (T-shirts, Hats, Jackets, etc.)

* Consumer Electronics (Plasma TVs, iPhones, GPS, etc.)

* And Much More...

There are many ways to build your bank, and it's always fun, easy and FREE. Click the following link to register for an account. We'll start you off with 30 free Swag Bucks!

http://swagbucks.com/refer/DealsandDrivel

Its free, easy and NO STRINGS ATTACHED. Be Rewarded with Swagbucks.com!

What makes this even better is that right now, you have the chance to also earn Apple Products- everything from an IPad to an Nano. ~~Without ever buying a thing~~

Now there is a second part to NoMoreRack that makes it worth the sign up, every day at noon- they put up 8 hot deals. H O T deals... like today they had a collection of Calvin Klein Bronzed Makeup: $125.00 Retail price, $20.00 NoMoreRack price. Had you already signed up and signed up two friends it could of been yours free. Now, how's that for a hot deal?

Hobby Lobby Sale

Hobby Lobby's sale is great for crafters this week, with lots of 50% items. One of the things I love most about Hobby Lobby is they almost always offer an extra 40% off coupon in their sale *good for any non sale priced item*- and if you have a web enabled mobile phone, there's no coupon clipping needed, you can just pull up the coupon on your phone. If you don't have a web enabled phone, you can still save some trees by downloading the coupon to you computer and sending it to your phone.
