Snuggie: The Blanket that Steals?

Posted by on July 14, 2009 at 11:48 am

We all know and love the Snuggie, that cool blanket with the sleeves sewn in that is a mainstay of the cable TV commercial circuit. We have a Snuggie ourselves and they are as cool as the actors in the commercial make them seem, and yes you do look like a monk when you have [...]

Dish Network retention: Saved $15/month for the next year!

Posted by on June 8, 2009 at 12:49 pm

In this environment, it is smart to minimize expenses as much as possible, and one place ripe for cuts is the cable TV bill. While the argument could be made that you don’t need cable at all, many of us wish to keep the luxury of cable and would just like to knock a few [...]

My continuing love affair with Walgreens

Posted by on October 24, 2008 at 7:58 pm

Walgreens deals just keep on coming! They released a new $5 off $20 coupon, and that coupled with the Easy Saver Rebate deals and the Register Rewards deals is making for some very good deals. Compare that to the crappy deals we’ve seen recently from CVS! Right now through Saturday (10/25), the following items will produce [...]

Get rainchecks for out of stock CVS deals (YMMV)

Posted by on October 17, 2008 at 8:27 am

Someone recently posted an interesting question on Slickdeals: “May I ask for a raincheck for a free after extra care bucks item at CVS?” For those of you who don’t know, a raincheck is like a coupon that is given to a customer when an advertised item is not in stock allowing the customer to [...]

One more reason to love Walgreens: Online rebate submission

Posted by on August 8, 2008 at 10:09 am

I’ve noted recently that I have been quite disappointed with CVS of late, however after the amazing diaper deal I am falling back in love with Walgreens. Why am I so high on Walgreens recently? Well, in addition to the great freebies they have had recently on their Easy Saver Rebate program, they are now [...]

My couponing method

Posted by on August 1, 2008 at 9:24 am

I post pretty frequently about deals at CVS and Walgreens, and many of those deals are made better by using manufacturer’s coupons that come in the Sunday paper every week. Our friends at Money Under 30 posted about their method of couponing recently in this post. But many people think that scouring coupon inserts, cutting [...]

A penny saved is BETTER than a penny earned!

Posted by on July 31, 2008 at 9:31 am

What do you think of when you hear the term “personal finance”? For many, it brings forth thoughts or 401k and IRA accounts, investments, and bank accounts. And I agree with all of those. However, it seems like most personal finance blogs focus on how to maximize income and spend little time discussing how to [...]

Update: More free diapers from Walgreens

Posted by on July 27, 2008 at 10:49 am

I posted Friday about the amazing deal on Walgreens diapers that was going Friday and Saturday only, and shared that I end up getting 87 packs of diapers and training pants along with various other stuff for a grand total of $1.18 out of pocket, plus I earned $55 in register rewards coupons and earned [...]

Getting bored with CVS deals

Posted by on July 23, 2008 at 10:29 am

I written many times about the awesome deals you can get at CVS, but I’ve lost a bit of the enthusiasm I once had. Not too long ago savvy CVS shoppers were treated to a feast of free products and plenty of coupons to make the deals even better, but things seem to have changed. [...]

Sharebuilder: My all-time favorite money maker!

Posted by on July 10, 2008 at 10:06 am

I saw a post about Sharebuilder over at Hustler Money Blog and it reminded me of how this is my all-time favorite money making deal. I’m not sure how it is that I haven’t posted about this one previously, but back in the day we made a total of about $2000 between my wife and [...]
