**Freebies in yesterday's mail

Wow-good thing all this loot came in yesterday's mail or I might have died since it all came with the $2500 bill for my husband's finger surgery! Pictured above is a free coupon for International Delights creamer, my free Marina perfume sample, free stickers from Disney Movie Club (no I did not join), Highlight's magazine free stickers and special offer (which I might do as they are awesome and it was a sweet deal on their magazines that teach kids about the states), my "Being a girl pack" with lots of feminine products in it,and my free SlimFast bar from Sams Club. (The big yellow folder also came which was a great personal gift. Not a freebie, but it helped anyway! It came from my husband's grandparents-THANKS G&G Johnson)!

**GREAT Hyvee trip last Saturday

Probably my favorite shopping trip/deal in recent time! It was a good shopping day last Saturday and I went to Old Navy's sale where I got some great deals, then I went over to Hyvee's hot deals sale that I told you about here. The picture above is the loot I scored there which cost a total of $28.21!!

Here is a list of everything I bought in the picture:
2-Half Gallon Hyvee Orange Juices
1 Smart Balance Sour Cream (it was on sale for 88 cents and I had a $1 off coupon-made 12 cents on that one)
2 Jack's Pizza's
Heritage Coffee (No I do not drink coffee, but it and the cups came free with my plates)
2 boxes Kelloggs Frosted Flakes (99 cents each and I had a coupon for $1 off 2-so 50 cents each)
2 StarKist Creations (1 was free with coupon)
2 Tone's spices (had a coupon for those)
1 bag Stacy's Pita Chips (Free with coupon)
1 package Chinet plates
1 package Chinet warm drink insulated cups (free with plates)
1 bag Tortilla shells
5 bags Kraft cheese (5 for $6 with a $5 catalina back-meaning $5 "coupon" back to use at my next Hyvee visit-so ends up being 20 cents each!)
3 Pepsi brand 2 liters of soda (77 cents each)
Bananas (7 pounds at 28 cents per pound)
10 pounds 73 percent lean ground beef (just less than $10 for that)

Whew-what a GREAT invigorating shopping trip for me!

**In my mailbox last week...


Wes keeps telling me I need to post my freebies and deals I get so you can see I am doing this stuff, so here we go...
One of the days last week, I got the loot above in the mail, and I am so excited to tell you all about it because it gives me the chance to tell you about a couple programs I signed up with recently. Pictured above is a coupon for a free bag of Stacy's pita chips that my husband was able to sign up for a while back on Facebook. There is also a buy one get one free coupon for StarKist Creations (Tuna, Albacore) which I was sent from Vocalpoint. And the last thing there is 8 $1 off coupons for Coke products from Recycle Bank.

Vocalpoint is a program where you are sometimes sent products to try (or in this case a coupon to try product) and then after trying, you give Vocalpoint your opinion on the product tried. I am still new to this program, but I tried my StarKist Tuna Creations and I really liked it. I am super excited to see what other surprises I get to try in the future! If you want to join Vocalpoint just click the link here.

Recycle Bank. is a program that rewards you for recycling and living green. Their curbside recycling program is not available everywhere, but is worth looking into if it is in your area. I do not have their curbside recycling, but I signed up, got a 100 point bonus for signing up and promptly cashed in the 100 points for 10 $1 off Coke products coupons. I buy a lot of Coke products so this was a massive deal for me! Again I am new to this program so I have not figured out all the ways to earn rewards yet, but I am loving the coupons I got! You too can sign up by clicking here.
