FREE!!!!

So as some of you know i have become quite the bargain shopper lately. I love looking for deals, clipping coupons...and really all my succsus i owe to my friend Jen. She calls me like every other day telling me what stores i should go to to get what deals and where to find the right coupons etc. I LOVE IT!!! (and her!) It's been so fun and really helped us cut down our budget. After 2 years of marriage i have finally learned a little bit of how to grocery shop right and be frugal. So in the past month here is everything that i have got absolutly free.

(ok i had to pay a little tax...but still!) So at Walgreens and Rite Aids each month or week they have items that you buy and then send in a rebate online and get your money back. It's great! And then we also use coupons on those items sometimes so even if we dont know what the stuff is or really need it we get it because we are getting paid to take it. It's so fun! I get the thrill of like robbing a bank! i feel like i am ripping them off...but it's completly legal!

So yesterday Jen called me about this deal on soda pop...buy 10 at $1 each them at the register it prints out a mail in rebate coupon and you get $10 back. So i went and bought 30 bottles of soda for me and my mom and my aunt. It was great! I paid 90 cents for 30 2 liter bottles of soda.

Anyway...it's a little time consuming and i can see how it would be hard to do with lots of little kids but if you are looking to save some money with everything happening in the economy right now it's really helpful and i think fun! Just look out for walgreen and rite aid aids and there "free rebates"
