Good Morning Bloggers!

Have you been using your mobile apps I was telling you about? If not, it's definitely okay, just click here to learn all about mobile apps!

Today I wanted to share with everyone a new app I just started using. I heard about it before but never took advantage of the savings. I know, I know.... tisk, tisk! But the great thing is that I am earning it now and so can you. What I love about this app is that the offers are updated every Thursday. Plus when I earn $2o I can cash out and they will send me a check!

Another thing I like about this app is that some offers I am able to choose which one I want to take advantage of. For instance, this week I have a choice of .25 cents back on salad, carrots, blueberries, mangoes, or bananas! This is an excellent option when looking for deals on produce, bread, and other items we don't usually see coupons for. Yesterday I earned .25 cents for buying bread.

So be sure that you are using all of the resources that you have at your fingertips. Every penny counts. And remember: We will never be rich, if we spend all our money!

$5 off $20 Meat Purchase At Target

Good Afternoon Bloggers! 

Don't forget that today is the last day to take advantage of the $5 off meat purchase at Target! This is a great way to stock your freezer without breaking the bank. Plus if you find matching manufacturer coupons you get an even better deal! Oh, and don't forget about Target Cartwheel. Currently Target has a variety of meats like bacon, lunch meat, hot dogs, and even turkeys on the cartwheel. Some are up to 25% off! 

If you don't have a target ad you get grab one from the customer service counter or text: MEAT to 827438 to get the mobile coupon! 

Don't wait too late, all the deals maybe gone before you get there!

Your Two Cents Matters!

So how often do we get surveys offering this and that, for a moment of our time?!?! Why not let those surveys reward you!! 

This is another great way of getting FREE stuff or getting store rewards. For instance, Kroger usually has a survey at the bottom of their receipt which offers 50 additional fuel points for a short survey. Once I earn 100 points, I can redeem them for .10 cents off of gas. So if I take the survey every week I can earn an additional .20 cents off gas. 

I recieved the survey below from a purchase earlier today. So once I get a drink, lunch is on them! 

Think twice before you throw out your receipt! You could be missing out on FREE stuff. 

Have a great night Bloggers!

Markdown Meat

Finding good deals on meat can be hard sometimes when it rarely goes on sale; nor, do we see coupons for the meat that we really buy. 

Today I found these three bags of Tyson Grilled & Ready for $2.00 off. They are usually $3.99, plus I had a coupon for .55 cents that doubled to $1.10. Making my final cost .89 cents per bag! 

These are the kinds of deals that we should be looking for. Even if we don't plan to use this tonight we can freeze it for later. These bags only take a few minutes to thaw and they can be added to any meal! 

Now other meats like chicken, ground beef, pork chops, steak, etc, likely won't have coupons but they do get marked down. So make it a habit to look for marked down meat on your next shopping trip. I know stores like Kroger, Winn-Dixie, Albertsons, and others have marked down meat weekly, sometimes daily. Just be sure to freeze what you don't plan to use so it won't spoil. This will surely make dinner much easier on the nights you choose to eat from your stockpile.

FREE Redbox Rental!!!

I just left Harris Teeter (local grocery store in Virginia Beach) and picked up a FREE DVD! I was able to get this movie for one night, FREE of charge. All I did was a simple Google search for redbox promo codes. The picture below shows just some of the codes that came up. I used the second code. I will likely go back tomorrow and try the other code. Click here to find a Redbox location near you. 

Let's make it a movie night!

Keep More of Your Money With Ebates

A very good friend of mine introduced me to Ebates a couple of months ago. Ebates partners with retailers and allows you to get a portion of the sales back. They will literally send you a BIG FAT CHECK that you can use any way you please! 

Ebates has partnered with hundreds of retailers from American Eagle to Groupon  to Macy's and of course my favorite, Target! When I signed up, there was a promotion for a free $10 gift card and I chose Target. Hopefully there is a similar promotion running for you to take advantage of. Plus there are benefits for referring friends and family. 

So start keeping more of your money and sign up now!! 

Have a great night Bloggers!! 

Another Reason I Love Target!

I know that couponing for the things that your family really needs can be difficult at times because we rarely see coupons for meat, produce, or bread. 

However, Target has a coupon out this week for $5 off the $20 worth of meat. To make things even better, if you text SNACKS to 827438, Target will send you mobile coupons for produce and other household items.  Those coupons can then be stacked with manufacturer coupons AND cartwheel. 

Also, I mentioned in my very first blog that Target is known for having unmarked clearance or just great unadvertised sales. The ribs below were marked at $3.99 and I opted to use my mobile coupon for $1 off $3 or more worth of meat. Plus, I was able to get $1 off $5 or more worth of fresh fruit in addition to 5% off the oranges by using the cartwheel. 

Here is the breakdown for everything else: 

(1) Tyson Chicken Strips - $6

(1) Tyson Grilled & Ready - $6

(1) Market Pantry Italian Sausage - $3.39

(1) Market Pantry Deli Meat - $3.09

(1) Gold Prime Drumsticks - $2.99

(4) Ziploc Bags - $5.00

(1) Nature's Own Bread - $2.69

(1) Tender Choice Ribs - $3.99

Coupons Used:

(1) $1 off any Tyson Chicken - MQ

(1) $1 off Grilled & Ready Chicken - MQ

(1) $.50 off Market Pantry Deli Meat - TQ

(1) $5 off $20 meat purchase - TQ 

(1) $2 off 2 Ziploc Bags - MQ

(1) $1 off 2 Ziploc Bags - MQ

(1) $1 off $3 meat purchase - TQ

(1) $1 off $5 produce purchase - TQ

(1) $.75 off 2 Ziploc Bags - TQ 

Total after coupons: $25.89 (including tax)

I also use the Ibotta app after my purchase. I recieved $1.25 back for the Tyson Chicken Strips and $1.00 for 2 Ziploc bags . So essentially I paid $23.64 for everything. 

So what would have cost me $45.70, ended up costing $23.64. That's a savings of 49%! Exactly why I LOVE Target!!! 

Have a great day Bloggers!! 

Are You A Brand Junkie?

I know, I know... We all have the specific brands that we love and just have to have. And then there are those particular brands that we just can't live without! So do we just sit around and wait for a sale AND a matching coupon for the items that just have to have and that we can't live without?! No! We build our stockpile with a variety of brands and products. Tell me if you have ever seen a stockpile that only has one brand....I'll wait!

The greatest thing about being a Savvy Saver is that we will find deals anywhere and everywhere that we go, even if that means buying a brand we typically don't use. Now this does not mean go out and buy a product that you will never use just because its on sale but if Target is having a sale on Cottonelle toilet paper and you prefer Charmin toilet paper, which isn't on sale, it wouldn't make sense to buy Charmin at full price when you have the chance to stock up on Cottonelle now. I mean, in my world, toilet paper is all the same... its all going to get flushed anyway! And I understand that every product that you use you may not be willing to compromise with, so take advantage of sales and stock up when you can (and don't forget those coupons).

Another advantage that we gain from not being a brand junkie is that once our stockpile is built enough so that we don't have to shop for 6 months or more, we then can become more selective in our brand choices and which sales that we shop. So focus on building a stockpile that your family can live from, rather than the specific brands or products that your family likes. Then move on to adding brand favorites. And after a month or two of not buying certain products because you have stockpiled them, you will definitely see a difference in your bank account!
