What happened to my Kroger??

By 8 Comments By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

I have to kill some time on Wednesday’s so I hang out in Kroger and look for deals. I am not kidding when I say I didn’t even recognize the Kroger in The back of the Woodlands. It was filled with tear pads, peelies and blinkies. Someone had kidnapped my store and replaced it with a coupon friendly one!

I am wondering if it is because of the Holiday’s, but either way I was happy to see people have the ability to save even more!

Have you noticed more tear pads or coupons in your store lately?

‘My Litter’ Guide to Last-Minute ‘Christmas Cash’: MyFoxHOUSTON.com

If you missed me this Monday morning on Fox26 News Houston you can see the segment that I did above. Because I know you all sit around just to see me on TV 😉

I talked about ways to get some extra Christmas Cash and gave some personal examples of things that we have done. You can see my original post HERE.

These are some ideas:

What can you do for some additional Christmas Cash??

1. Craigslist – Craigslist is free to list anything and very easy to do so. I have always had good luck and have sold anything that I have listed. From baseball cards to kids clothes you can sell anything.

2. Sell your old electronics – Not only can you sell them but you can trade them in. At Swagbucks you can trade in your old cellphones for Swag cash, which can then be used to buy items or giftcards. If you’ve got an old MP3 player,cell phone or digital camera taking up space in your junk drawer, check out Gazelle.com. Enter a few details about your gadgets and instantly learn trade-in values. Gazelle.com pays for shipping and you’ll get your money in a week. For cell phones-only, try CellforCash.com.

3. Ebay – Just lilke craigslist you can list anything! I have listed electronics and clothing mostly. But was shocked one day when I listed an old pair of hair clippers that brought in $100! They do charge an insertion fee, but it is reasonable. Go HERE to check ebay out.

4. Sell back your old books. At Cash4Books.net just enter the ISBN number for each book you want to sell (check the back cover) to see how much each is worth. Textbooks, non-fiction and business books are most in demand. Get a check or deposit to your PayPal account in about a week.

5. Cash in at cash-back shopping sites. Online-only sales are rampant across the web this holiday season so why not make a few bucks while picking out gifts. Ebates gives you back a percentage of your purchase and is doubling cash back when you buy from select online retailers, including Walmart, The Body Shop and Victoria’s Secret. As an added bonus, new sign-ups get a $5 bonus. Two more cash-back sites are ShopAtHome and Cashbaq.

6. Sell back your gift cards. Gather up your used and unused gift cards (that you don’t plan to use) and sell them back at Swapagift.com or PlasticJungle.com.You’ll get back 60 percent or more of the card’s value.

7. Cash in your coins. If you’re like me, you’ve got a stash of coins somewhere in your house ready to be turned into bills, so take them to a Coinstar machine by December 6. Cash in $40 in coins and get $10 free by mail-in rebate. Get your money as a gift card (required for this offer) to avoid the coin-counting fee. Right now you can also choose the option of a $10 gift card from amazon when you cash in $40 at Coinstar.

8. Etsy – Unfortunatly I have spent more here than I will ever make 🙂 But, if you are crafty you can post and sell your homemade items including baked goods. The insertion fees are reasonable and sales are pretty good. Go HERE to take a look at Etsy!

Lands End $40 off a $100 Purchase + Free Shipping!

By Leave a Comment By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

Lands End has a coupon code for $40 off a $100 purchase + free shipping that you can get by clicking HERE.  I know that the thought of spending $100 can be hard to imagine, but if you shop the clearance you can pick up a BUNCH of needed items for less.

I grabbed some of the backpacks on sale a few weeks ago and am giving then all as gifts for Christmas and using the smaller ones as donations for Toys For Tots and the rest for the Cookie Exchange Toy Drive we are doing next week. Kids ALWAYS need backpacks who are in less than ideal situations.

These are some of the backpacks and lunch boxes I got. The coupon code does not go towards monogramming, but I had someone here do it for less anyway.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the order I did for my kids Secret Santa project that they are working on this year. I was able to get 13 lunch bags or backpacks for $68 shipped to our house. They are good Lands End quality and I know the kids will love them! You can go HERE to see what you find. This coupon code ENDS THURSDAY at midnight!

By Leave a Comment By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

There are are 2 new beverage coupons aside from the other 3 that I told you about earlier! I would HIGHLY suggest printing these as they can come in handy for the holidays!

$1 off 3 Frozen Bacardi Frozen Mixes

$1/2 Mt. Dew Drinks  ( recipe HERE for AWESOME dessert!) 

$1/2 Welches Sparkling Juice ( use zip 77477)

$1 off Minute Maid 12 pack

$1 off Minute Maid 10 pack juice

I was really excited to see the Bacardi coupon, although we do not drink liquor. I use it all the time to make frozen “virgin” daiquiris for the kids, and myself! Just toss the contents of the can ( I use strawberry) into the blender with ice, add a banana if you want and some fresh strawberries and blend. They are sooooo good!

For Christmas you could add cranberries as garnish…

Again, so many good deals right now, so I am recapping to make it easier to see all at once!

** I forgot to tell you my Clint Eastwood story, since I posted that deal about him earlier today. We were in Hawaii at a golf tournament about 9 years ago. Paul was playing in the Mercedes Open Pro-Am (what a life time ago!) and they put us up at the Ritz Carlton (I am not joking) I got on the elevator to go to lunch and stepped into this guy and walked on his shoe. I apologized, hit “lobby” and turned around. The man got off at the floor before the lobby, as soon as he stepped off, the other woman in the elevator grabbed my shoulder and was FREAKING out!

“I can’t believe you stepped on his foot!” she says hyperventilating.

“I can believe it, I am a mess that way” I tell her.

“I LOVE him!!” she yells! (She is about 55 I am guessing)

“Who is that?”

She looks at me and shakes her head, the last minute of her life completely wasted on a dumb 27 year old!

“That. Was Clint Eastwood.”

And she walked away disgusted.

Another time I have to tell you about Lionel Richie dancing on my table…. same trip!
