Hy-vee AGAIN!

I went back to hy-vee again and and spent only $9.00 and saved a total of $20.00! The picture on the left is what I used to save money (missing is the $10.00 off coupon you can get in the store or in the ames advertiser) pretty exciting. AND, I got a six dollar coupon on milk the next time I go in!

Restaurant.com gift cards!

www.restaurant.com is a great website to get discounted dining coupons! If you sign up your e-mail they will alert you of when you get get discounts on gift cards. For example, I live in the 50010 zip code. If I type that in two restaurants come up: Okoboji Grill (my husbands FAVORITE) or Tic Toc Italian Steakhouse in boone. We have bought many Okoboji grill coupons over the last couple of years. You can buy a 10 dollar gift card for 4 dollars OR buy a 25 dollar gift card for 12.50. However, once you sign up and order one coupon restaurant.com will let you know when those discounted prices will be 70-90% off!! So, I stock up on 25 dollar gift cards when I can get them for $2.40.

EXAMPLE:

Saturday night we went out for a date & ate at Okoboji grill. In order to use the coupon you must spend over 35 dollars. Another rule is they automatically add 18 % tip. So you can get appetizers, drinks, 2 meals and share a desert all for around 15.o0! pretty sweet deal. Also use restaurant.com when you are going out of town in bigger cities to save some green!

Old Christmas Lights = 3 Dollar Coupon!

Take your old Christmas lights to Home Depot from November 5th-15th and get a $3 coupon for each set (up to 5 sets) good on any energy efficient LED Christmas lights. Home Depot LED lights will be $5.97 during that promotion- or only $2.97 each after the trade-in coupon!

Need a good reason to buy? The LED light strings use 80% less energy than tradtional incandescent and string lights. These should save you MORE in electric than the $2.97 you paid for them in one season!

Thanks Money Saving Madness for passing this along

A Little About Me:

I am a stay at home mom who is incredibly blessed to do so! I have an amazing husband and a little handsome son. I am so blessed. I decided to start this blog as a sort of "catch all" of money saving ideas, craft projects and little things our little family takes on. Less about our lives and more about money savin', creative things you can do to save or have fun! So please bookmark this page and come back and see us soon! My goal is to post something new at least once a week!
