FREE Pasta with coupon

FREE Tomato's with coupon

Thanks Faithful provisions

SOOO sorry, looks like Faithful Provisions might be in a different Kroger ad area than most of WV (Mid-Atlantic ads) so many of the coupons and matchups she did were NOT working in the Mid-Atlantic stores . . . I am so sorry and will find a better provider of deals for those of you that shop at Kroger (including myself) next week.

Walmart Coupon Policy

Walmart just started a new coupon policy-read the entire thing here.  Most of it is pretty standard coupon language but a few things are pretty unique to Walmart.

GOOD NEWS FOR US
1. they accept Internet printable coupons (if it says manufactures coupon at the top)
2. they accept competitors coupons with a specific price listed for an item (Rite Aid OFTEN has these in their ad)
3. they accept competitors checkout coupons (you know those ones that print with your receipt at Kroger and Giant Eagle) with a bar code and if it says manufactures coupon at the top
4.  Coupons may exceed the price of the item. Change may be given or applied toward the cost of the basket purchase.  (this is a big one for me!!-with the right coupon you can actually MAKE money taking things from the store)

BAD NEWS FOR US
1.  they do NOT accept Internet printable free coupons (you can occasionally get these to print from company websites when they are unveiling a new product)  This is bad news since only walmart in this area is usually on the cutting edge and has these new products in stock before the coupon expires.

Easy way to a $5 Amazon gift card

Anyone with a few minutes can easily get $5 at Amazon for writing reviews this month.  I have done this before and it's super easy and completely legit.  Just look around your house for products you love (or hate) and write a review about them for others to read.  It's that simple. 

Specific rules of this promotion

1.  Reviews must be written between March 11, 2011 and March 21, 2011.

2.  Reviews must be a minimum of 700 characters.  (this is easy to do-don't be afraid of this #)

3.  Reviews must be in the following categories: Home & Garden, Family & Pets (excluding toys), Health & Beauty, Kitchen (excluding Food & Drink), Computers & Electronics.

4.  Reviews must be about real products you own or have used; inappropriate or bogus reviews will be removed.

You will get an e-mail with your $5 within 30 days of the end of the promotion (usually just a few days after)

Go here to get started.

Thanks for the tip Moneysavingmom

$30 worth of FREE Photo Products from Shutterfly!

What a deal to re-start my deal website with--sorry about the long break!!  Follow the directions below to get $30 of photo products from Shutterfly absolutely free!  (looks like this will only work if you previously had a Photoworks account-even if you opened it years ago and rarely use it as I did) 

::Sign up for a Shutterfly account if you don’t have one already (you’ll get a credit for 50 free prints added to your account which is a sweet deal too).

::Transfer your photos by using the "transfer my photos" button here, then log back into Shutterfly.

::You’ll receive an email within 48 hours with a unique code which will give you a free $30 credit!

If you spend $30 or more in one shot on Shutterfly then use the code SHIP30 to get free shipping!  So I would use it all up at once, and get it completely free!!
