Great Bank Deal

Every once in a while a great deal will come along that has nothing to do with Coupons but is so good I feel I need to share. This is clearly one of them. Chase bank is offering $100 to set up a checking account and $100 is $100.

$100 Account Chase Checking

Open New Checking Account
$100 Minimum Opening Deposit
Direct Deposit OR 5 Debit Card Transactions Required
Expires June 23rd
Click here for all the details and to sign up.

(you can do on line or in a branch which is my preferred method click on the send me a coupon link and they will sent you a e-mail you can take into the branch)

The reason this deal is so good is if you don't have direct deposit like me all you have to do is use the debit card 5 times easy:) You must keep the account open for 6 months to keep the $100.00.

Thanks to Moneysavingmethods for this post you can check out her blog for other good tips on bank offers...

Slow Coupon Week

This week was not a big coupon week which can be normal. Coupon deals go up and down so don't worry if there is a slow week. On slower weeks I just try and get the most out of the deals that are out there, so I really went after the Ecotrin deal at Walgreen's and stocked up on the free Campbell's Soup at CVS to donate.

I now have 12 Ecotrin paid $1.44 got $24 in RR's
And I have 16 cans of Soup for FREE that will make a nice donation.

Couple Updates

I have added a new feature that I hope everyone will find helpful. You will find at the top left of the blog a title for Resource Center if you click on this it will take you to a post that has the links for
Target coupons
Meijer coupons......

Also it will give you the links to some of the on-line tools I use to make money or do rebates. Please let me know what you think or if you have a idea of something that I should add to the Resource Center.


I will be posting Meijer and Kroger tomorrow I do not see anything great so I will make my trips before I post.

Got Back $5.00 In Catalina (will double at Howell Kroger so $10)

Profit of $2.50-$7.50

Today 5/29 - 6/11 a $1 Catalina will print for every two Country Time Lemonade canisters you buy. (But the sale could end on 5/31)

The Country Time is still on sale for $1 Use the $1.50/2 Coupon HERE Pay $.50 for two and get a $1 Catalina ($.50 money maker)
I had to do 5 orders they where not sure two Catalina would print for the same order (I think they would but did not want to argue about it:)
(this deal is good at all Kroger not just Howell, but remember if you can get to the Howell store the $1 Catalina's you pick up at your Kroger will double to $2 at Howell if you buy a item that is $2 or more)

I Love a good Restaurant Coupon

Right now if you join the Buffet Club, they will send you a BOGO free coupon to one of the following restaurants. Country Buffet, Fire Mountain, Ryan's, Old Country Buffet or HomeTown Buffet.(You will pick the location) It will come in your e-mail took 24 hours for me to get mine. Good for 14 days from the time you get your e-mail. (not good on Sunday)

We love eating out when we can afford it and with this deal my family of four can eat for under $20 tip included. Old country Buffet dinner buffet is $11.99 for a adult and only $1.99 for children after 3:30pm. That would make the total only $15.97 plus a tip.

From one of my Readers

Today I got a e-mail from one of my readers saying she had won the CVS / Detroit Free Press Sweepstakes I posted a few weeks back.

From Reader: just wanted to e-mail you to thank you for posting about the CVS and Detroit Free Press sweepstakes a few weeks back. You said that the odds of winning would be pretty good, because it was only for Michigan residents. Well you were correct, because I just got an e-mail informing me that I was one of 5 people picked to win $100.00 gift card from CVS!!!!!! Thanks again, its like Christmas in May!!

Here is the link to the Original post you can still enter for the June drawing let me know if you are another lucky winner.

Here is another Link to the Meijer Sweepstakes post. Some of the ones I posted about are over but if you go to the link in the post it will show you all the new ones that have replaced them. Also good odds since it only covers the area Meijer is located in.

It feels great to know one of my readers won and I know she will make that $100 go really far:)
