Two FREE Items

So I got two things for FREE today!!!

Crystal Light was on sale at Price Chopper (the drink mix that makes like 6 quarts or something like that) for $0.99 which is way good.  It is normally around $3.00.  I had a coupon for $1.00 off one...so I got it for FREE!

I have had a coupon for a free can of Iced Seattles Best Coffee.  But I couldn't find it anywhere.  So I googled it and found the nearest place to be Lee's Summitt which is like 45 minutes from my house, no thank-you!  Today as I was picking up Poweraid 32 oz drinks for 49 cents each (way good deal) I spotted the canned coffee drink on the shelf.  It retailed for $1.49 and I got it for FREE.  I only had one coupon on me, I'll have to go home and look for more.  But I drank it, and it was good.  And I don't really like coffee.  And with working the night shift a few times in the upcoming weeks, this may be helpful...and how can you go wrong with FREE.

So in order to find out if I have more coupons I have created a filing system for my coupons.  I went searching in the dumpster for more yesterday (all of a sudden I LOVE taking recycling to the bins...hummm) and in like 5 minutes I had pulled out 10 inserts (for every 2 that would have cost me $2 for a paper).  When I got home I got file folders out and filed them by date and by type (Smart Source, Proctor & Gamble, Red Plum).  I then used my favorite new website: www.pennypinchinmom.com where I can search for coupons in their database by name.  Last night I looked up the Crystal Light one (so I could score a second container before the PC sale stopped) and it was super easy.  Once I narrowed it down to which insert it took a small bit of flipping and then I found it.

So that is my excitement so far this week.  Going to score more free coffee and check out the new flyers for Price Chopper and Hy-Vee.  Their sales always start on Wednesdays.
