Food Pantrys in Need

All over MI there are food Pantry's & other organizations who help fight hunger on a local level in need. These Organizations have fewer donations and more people who need their services. That is not a good combination. We couponers often pick up more then we need or items we don't even plan on using. (only if they are free or we make money of course:)

So when I got a e-mail that said Food Gatherers was running low, I decided to see what I could put together for a donation.
Today was the first time I have been to this organization. They where very nice and great full for the donation. They are very unique in that they have a large garden so that they can give fresh produce out. They also encourage others to plant a row in their garden for Charity's like theirs. Here is there mission statement

Food Gatherers exists to alleviate hunger and eliminate its causes in our community by: reducing food waste through the rescue and distribution of perishable and non perishable food; coordinating with other hunger relief providers; educating the public about hunger; and developing new food resources.

Here is a Link to their web site, if you live in the Ann Arbor area and you can donate keep them in mind.

They take your donation by weight mine came to 100pounds. The dollar value of all of it came to $451.74






I love that through couponing I am able to help others, something like this would not have been possible for my family to do before coupons.

Trip to my Local Krogers to pick up Rainchecks

I stopped by my Local Krogers to pick up Rainchecks for the Cover Girl deal. I will be ablt to use these next week at my Super Kroger and it will save me a trip. But why I was there I thought I would pick up all the items that are free at any Kroger this week. Here is what I picked up

Final Price is Free

Bic Cristal Pens (10ct) $.50
Use $1/2 HERE

Did the same for the Cover Girl eyeshadow at $2.24

Coupon Flyers at Walgreens and $.79 Diaper wipes

In the front of store with the weekly adds are Back-2-School Coupon Books. In it are 28 coupons one of which is $2/1 Huggies 64 ct or larger.

Huggies Tubs $3.29 (the ones I bought where 72ct)
Use $2/1 From Back-2-School coupon book
Stacked with $.50/1 coupon from 7/19 Smart Source
Final price is $.79 a box

I wanted to pay with a RR's so I had to buy one of the $.09 folders to go with it.

Note: The register peeped when I tried my $.50/1 coupon since it rang up that the $2/1 was also a Manufactures but the Manager said I should still be able to use a Manufactures coupon since the one in the Back-2-School hand out scans like the ones in the weekly adds. (you don't have to cut out they just scanned it and it rang up for all 4 of my items in one scan and I kept the coupon)
I am not sure if all stores will be this nice about it though I went to the Brighton location by Old23.

Free PC tune up at Staples

I wanted to try this out before I posted to see if there where any surprises.
So now through the end of 9/19 Staples is offering a free PC Tune up normally $29.99.
Just bring in your computer and power cord make sure to back up any critical information. I dropped it of on Tuesday and it was ready to pick up Thursday. They where very nice and there where no hidden fees. They did suggest that I add some gig I said I would think about it and that was the end of it. No hard sell or pressure to get extras. I was pleased when I booted it up, does seem to run a bit faster (5 Years old) and I can tell they cleaned it up a bit and all my information was intact. I went to the Brighton location.

Here is what is included in the tune up
Thorough PC cleaning (deleting Internet cookies and temporary Internet files), clean up dust and dirt buildup, disk defragmentation and disk clean up.

I was not paid or given anything to post this I just think it is a good deal. I use my Internet a lot and get a lot of cookies... so it is nice to get it cleaned up for free this is my older computer so gets bogged down faster then the newer ones.

My Mom's Meijer's Post

Courtney, I took your advice! I headed out to Meijers this morning and look at the haul we got! Ended up with 24 Skippy Peanut Butters, 8 Ragu, 6 Jello and 5 things of Hellmann's Mayo! Was a money maker of almost $5! I love our Meijers store!

Check out HERE to see how you can get these deals.

Update* Pick up some Free All, Tide & Kotex at Target

Update* So I actually got the time to run out to Target today and was able to get some Free Kotex. (think donations if you don't use or have just way to much)

Kotex Liners are $2.70
Use $2/1 Target Coupon from 7/26 SS
Stack with $.75/1 Coupon From either the 7/19 SS insert or 6/14 SS insert (will mark down to $.70)
Final price is Free
(there where also $1/1 Kotex coupons in the same papers take those to Walmart for free liners)

In this Sundays Paper (8/2) there where coupons for $1/1 All (Red Plum) and Tide (P&G)

Take these to Target and hit the travel section (trial sizes) there you will find small packets of Tide and Small bottles of All. The coupons say any so it is OK to use on these small items.

The Tide is $.97 so they will have to mark your coupon down but the All is $1.00 so that rang up fine at my Target. Print off a copy of the coupon Policy and take it with you in case your cashier says they can't mark down a coupon. (it clearly states they can)

I can think of a college student or two who would love these. The All is two loads and the Tide is one so for a College kid or someone on a budget this is great. (will have to pay tax about .36)

Help our Military donate your Expired Coupons

Even though we can no longer use our expired coupons our overseas Military men and woman can. They can use them for up to six months past the expiration date and we all should have a ton that expired on 7/31 or 8/1 these are great since it can take many weeks to reach the bases.

Also since the bases are US Territory it will cost the same to mail your coupons to them as it would be your neighbors :)

Here is a link to the bases that would like coupons

Here is a link for detailed information on how to mail them

(I will add these links to my Resource center found at the top right of my blog)

This is a small act but could mean a lot to our Military men and woman who are also just trying to get bye.

Thank you to all the men and woman who sacrifice so much to make sure my family and freedoms are kept safe.

Looking through the flyer this week I don't see anything totally Free or something so great I will have to run out and get asap. There are some school supplies for cheap, but since I am able to pick up for Free at other places I will hold off.

If you want to see a list of the deal check them out at Dealseekingmom.com

FREE after RR (it has been said these are Rolling meaning you can buy the same pen again and use the $1 RR you just got and one will still print) I will be checking this out myself today will let you know if it works in MI\ (ok so I just tried this and it did NOT work. No RR printed when I was done. My RR said Pilot on it though. If you got a RR that just says thanks and does not say Pilot above the Bar code you could give it a try these are the ones reported to work)

Thanks Dealseekingmom for these finds:)

Be on the look out for Meijer Cash

I have received $8 in Meijer Cash last week. (seems to be printing randomly) So keep a eye out for it. These are good for General Merchandise and apparel only, is good between 8/2-8/31. But you can use up to 10 coupons in one transaction!!

So check twice before you discard your catalinas I see so many people just through theirs away or leave them:(

This is just free money and I look forward to doing some shopping next month. If anyone has the inside scoop on when and why these print or if anyone gets a larger dollar amount then $4 let us know.

Thanks Courtney
