Omaha Steak Burgers



Ok so who wouldn't want 20 Omaha burgers for under $2 bucks?

Im going to give you details on how to do this below.

First go to this site and in the upper right corner is asks you to register and receive a discount at Omaha Steaks. You will receive an email from them with the discount code. This may take the better part of the day so be patient.

Next once you have your code from the first site go to this site.

Once you have the code from the first site and the link up from the second then go to order the 12 Free burgers + 8 more (5oz)Burgers and use the discount code from the first site you got in your email.

This should give you a total very close to $2 bucks. This will include shipping. So enjoy and spread the fun of being frugal.

For those of you who just are not on the recycling band yet...check out these sites to see if there is a place near you to take your things. RecyclingCenters Earth911 TheRecyclingCenter Bottles&Cans(<--just for Calfornia)


You can join FreeCycle where anything you want to throw out but is still usable (which most of us do because well we are just to lazy to donate it or we think who would want that?)can be posted on the site in your area and Im telling you someone will want it and come take it off your hands. Its free to sign up and your doing your part in saving our planet from unwanted items being thrown into the landfills by giving it to someone else who will use it.

Another great site is FreePeats its a site just for baby/kid items you are done using and want to get rid of that you were just going to throw out or donate and just haven't gotten around to it yet. There is a $4.95 fee paid once for life. Which I think is a great deal seeing how all the great things you can recieve from others.

Yummy!

Ok so here is my find for the day...I was shopping at CVS (yes I know I was already there this week...but hey Im an addict). Anyway, I was going up and down the isles and remembered I had seen Stacys Pita Chips there before. So I wanted to check out the price. Guess what I found out.


For a 6oz bag its $3.29 and you get $2.00 ecb back when you purchase up to 3 bags. So of course I had to do that. It made the bags only 1.29 ea and well I already had some ecb hanging around so I used those to pay for them and they were FREE for me and I got new ecb's back to use next time Im there!


Check out Stacys Pita Chips here if you have never heard about them and if you have sign up for their snack pack and get coupons and promo info via email.

CVS Week 10/5




Ok so I got a ton of stuff this week. I started out with 10.79 in ECB (extra care bucks) from last week. I came home after my trip with $16.00 in ECB's. So I have a great start for next week.

I also got a Free $25 Giftcard with any New or Transferred RX. This is great because the one RX we get filled off base is not transferrable so I have been waiting for one that said the RX could be free. So now I get to go shopping for free at CVS for over a month! On average I spend $4 oop (out of pocket). Ok so here is the list of what I got yesterday.

Gillette Shampoo x4

Head n Shoulders Shampoo x1

Always Infinity Pads x1

Viamin Water 32oz x1

Soleil Razors x4

Colgate Maxfresh x2

Imodium x1

Tylenol Extra Strength x1

CVS Handsanitizer spray for kids x3

Lady Speedstick x3

Ex-Large Hersery bars x4(2 dark 2 with almonds)

100 grand candy bar because the cashier was giving me a hard time so I needed a filler

Total Merchandise: 100.89 Total Saved: 96.93! Woohoo!!!!!

Total OOP was.........................................$3.96

(would have been closer to 2 but the cashier was giving me a hard time saying my ECB's couldnt pay for my tax on items.) It's been known through out CVS' that each store and each cashier does things differant so it was bound to happen. I went at a differant time to the same store I always go to and got a not so happy cashier...like I was personaly stealing from her or something. Which CVS gets all the money back plus some for the coupons I use. So I now know I need to shop at my normal time with my normal cashier who thinks its great that I can walk out of the store with paying under $4 for bags of stuff!

My Frugal Plan for October

This week I went to CVS with my CVS rewards card and spent $4oop (out of pocket) and got about $65 worth of items. (I go to CVS every week so I will start sharing what I got and how much I spent and saved each week with pictures.)
I purchased:
1 Gillette Fusion Power Razor for my DH
1 Cover Girl foundation
1 Cover Girl Pressed Powder
2 Cover Girl Lipsticks
1 Frebreeze Noticeables Starter Kit
1 small can of Gillette Shave Gel for my DH
1 Bottle of Dawn Renewal Dish Soap
1 Ambi Face Scrub
2 Kids Colgate Toothpaste
1 Sunsilk Shampoo
1 Sunsilk Conditioner

I then went on the same day (Monday) to get my FREE movie rental from Redbox (go to redbox.com to see if there is one near you). As you all know with 10yr girls and a new baby going to the movies is not easy so watching a FREE movie at home and eating popcorn and hanging with my family is the best it gets! (This saves us over $50 just by doing it at home instead of at the movies...we fix popcorn in our popcorn popper, get soda, and a sweet snack and sit in our comfy living room together as a family)

So those are the more obvious things that saves us money. We have started a monthly meal plan for dinners and allow for 1 night to order Pizza and 1 night to go Out to Eat. This has already saved us lots of money because we are all about going out to eat and ordering pizza because its easy. When we started doing this last month and I have lost over 5lbs in the last month just by sticking to our meal plan and making at home healthy home cooked meals for my family! So we are saving money by not going out (except our 2 nights for the month) and well 5lbs off my body means Im healthier and means Im less likey to get sick which leads to more money out of our pocket.

There will be more to come as the month goes along and I will be back to share. Share with me ways your family is being Frugal this month!
