As a bit of an intro, since I started shopping at Walgreens and getting Register Rewards (RR), I seem to always have RRs that I need to use before they expire. In case you do not know, RR are the same as Catalinas at other stores which are basically coupons you get back for future purchases. Well, I try to "roll" the rewards by using them to pay for things that give me new RR, and it is a bonus when those things I can roll are things I really need, or can get free.

This list will include items with RRs this week that I think are good, as well as any deals that I think are worth mentioning (even if they do not have RR). This is NOT a comprehensive list, just the items I think are great deals. Please see your local ad to see ALL your local deals this week.

This Graveyard Mall deal is still going on today!!
Can I just start by saying wow!! Today, Graveyard Mall's Deal of the Day is more like a clearance toy sale of the day. They are getting in a huge toy shipment and to quote their website, they are "going to struggle to make room for it all. So... order your toys before they arrive and we won't have to put them away. Plus, you'll save an extra 25% off our already low prices!". Just use coupon code: preordertoys25

There are a TON of toy included. Go check them out here.

This is awesome! I had not heard of this until I read the newspaper yesterday and now I feel motivated to do this as a family!

Did you local readers know about Go! Play Adventure here in Omaha? Apparently it is a FREE family treasure hunt activity. It is to try to get families out to play and visit local parks and attractions. You basically get a guidebook and follow clues to figure out where the 25 posts are located in the city. As a family you go to the posts and make a rubbing of the post graphic in your guidebook. When you have 20 or 25 done, prizes are given.

I have not done this before, but it looks awesome, and there are a lot of places to pick up your guidebook:

• Chalco Hills Recreation Area
• Joslyn Art Museum
• Fontenelle Forest
• Hitchcock Nature Center
• Mahoney State park
• Bounce U

OR you can print one online at http://www.morenature.info/.  You can also read more about this program here.

Did I mention that we have gotten tons of freebies and coupons at this Hy-Vee this week with their grand opening? Our kids all got free Shrek reusable bags and I got coupon books. They also got free car toys, free Pillsbury dough boy headbands, balloons, TONS of free samples and other toys.  It is an awesome store, and they have every bell and whistle for this grand opening.  Go check it out and let me know if you get any freebies!

Isn't that a beautiful picture? I took it at Lake Zorinsky.  I love going over there!

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know what I was able to go to today in Omaha.  I always like it when other bloggers let me know how the free events or deals they posted about went, so I try to write about my experiences every now and then. As I posted before, there were a TON of things going on today for free. I learned a couple things today: 1-Though my son is doing remarkably better, he is not 100% and still apparently needs to be reigned in for his own good, and 2-Apparently I cannot do it all (especially with said child not feeling well).  So, my son, Ender, would go and go all day right until he wore himself out which was pretty quick.  My husband was on call today too so I was on my own with 4 kids (ages 7,6,3,& 2).  But we still did a lot...

First we went to the kids church activity that I told you about the other day where they had a blast (and they were fed lunch-thank goodness for that!!).  Then I anxiously drove down to Old Navy, sure all the $1 Flip Flops wold be gone by then (it was noon).  Um...apparently I have not been paying attention because I went to my usual Old Navy, and it was gone...just gone...so I decided to just skip it and go to the Village Point event.

Guess how lucky I was though?! My Old Navy apparently moved to Village Point, so I was able to go in and get some flip flops. Sadly, there were none for kids when I was there (as it turned out there were 2 moms up front holding them all hostage as they tried to decide which ones they REALLY wanted and how they could manage to take turns going through the line to get all of them...yes ALL of the kids flip flops). I was able to get some for Me and Wes at least and that was great. It was a busy store, but luckily we were able to get in and out pretty quick-they had that line moving like a well oiled machine!!

After that we went out to the Village Point event there and had a blast. We made seed necklaces, got the coupon books (which have some killer deals BTW), got cookies from the Loft, food from Kona Grill (free samples), ate suckers from Durham Heritage Museum, picked out beautiful post cards from Joslyn Art museum, Saw a parrot from the zoo, got free toys and stickers from the zoo, and played some fun games! And all of that for free!! We even ran into a few friends!! It was a lot of fun and like I said, ALL FREE!!! LOVED it!

By this point, Ender was starting to really breakdown and cry and not want to move (very unlike him when he is well), but I needed to stop at Walmart or Hyvee to get potatoes (They are $.77 for a 5 lb bag at Hyvee today and tomorrow, so I could go to Hyvee or to Walmart and price match). I decided to try Walmart so we could see if there were anymore of the free ice cream sundaes.

We got to Walmart, and found they were having a Health fair as well as the free Sundaes at our location. So, we went to all the health booths up front before venturing in to find the Free Sundaes. Wow-we got some AWESOME freebies and coupons there! I got tons of stuff for my glasses (cases, cleaning cloths, cleaning solution), for my contacts (solution, cases), and for pain (Advil, and other medicine samples). Most of those samples were full size samples! It was awesome! There was even a Chiropractor there that had a wheel to spin to get a prize. Ender spun for me and won me the BIG prize of a full exam for free, including x rays, and all. Interesting...

Finally we made it over to the Free Sundaes and wouldn't you know it-they were RIGHT at the end of them and I must be doing something right today, because my kids got the very last Sundaes! WOW-good thing I did not wait another minute to head over!!

I did miss the Omaha City Parks and Recs department Spring into Summer celebration at Zorinsky Lake (3808 S 156th St) from 10 am - 2 pm. I really wanted to go over there, check out the free activities, and buy our summer swim pass, but it just did not happen. I'll still have to buy that pass soon though!

I also missed the free hot dogs at the new Stoney Brook Hy-Vee and their Kids Club activity.

Did any of you make it to any of these fun activities or did you do other fun activities? I would love to hear about your Saturday adventures!!

Today's download is "Boo Bop Bopbop Bop (I love you too)" from the Pete's Dragon soundtrack. I just downloaded mine from the link in their Facebook status!

My sister said she cannot get these downloads to work. Is anyone else having trouble? When I do it each day, there are 2 links in their status, and I click on the first link as that one will take you to the song download (the second link will take you to iTunes where you can buy the whole album if you so desire).  Once I click on it, a new window opens and because of my computer security, a yellow line appears across the top of the new window saying Internet Explorer blocked the download for my safety. I right click that and tell it to download, then I choose to save it, and put it in my mp3 folder on my desktop.  That is how it works for me. Just thought I would share in case you were all having trouble!

If you have not done so yet you can either become a friend on Facebook, a follower on Twitter or text Disney Music at 66937 so you can get your free downloads.
