On sale 2/$3.00
Buy three, use B2GO coupon = $3.00 (or $1.00 each)
UPDATE: At the Epping Market Basket location, the B2GO coupon automatically deducts $2.99. I let the cashier know that each Magic Eraser was on sale 2/$3.00 (and, therefore, only $1.50 should be deducted), but she said not to worry about it and accepted the full $2.99 off. That should have meant that I got three two-packs for a penny, but when I got home, I realized they rang up for $2.99 each! Lesson: CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS! [I'll be returning to the store to have this corrected.]

Kemps Frozen Yogurt
On sale 2/$5.00
Buy two, use $1.50/2 coupon = $3.50 (or $1.75 each)

Welches Fruit Snacks
On sale 2/$4.00
Buy two, use $1.00/2 coupon = $3.00 (or $1.50 each)
UPDATE: Be sure to listen to the announcements. While I was shopping, they announced that they had an unadvertised special for Applegate Naturals Bacon (no nitrites, no nitrates, gluten-free, uber healthy bacon!). If you headed back to the meat department, they were practically giving packages away for $1.99. These normally go for $6.99 to $7.99 at health food stores! Within minutes, six boxes of bacon were gone. I managed to snag one, as we're not a big bacon family. Fantastic deal! My last trip: Perdue Perfect Portions were announced. They were getting rid of them for $2.99 each (regularly $6.99 each, minimum). I grabbed about six bags, used three $1.50/2 coupons and paid just $13.44 for 30 perfectly portioned breasts of chicken. Insane! I just popped them in the freezer when I got home, and they'll be good for months.

Shutterfly + Kellogg's = !


 We've all heard of Shutterfly. And we've all certainly heard of Kellogg's. But have you ever used them in the same sentence? 

I have.


As a member of the Kellogg's Family Rewards program, not only have I racked up over 17,000 points by entering codes into their system from my Froot Loops boxes (I eat a lot of Froot Loops), but I also receive dozens of valuable emails. Just the other day, I got an email from Kellogg's Family Rewards with a special code. I entered it into their system, as I do with all their codes, but this time I got $20 off at Shutterfly for doing so. They tell you up front the value of the code, but I can't tell you how many of these I've received over the last year. And because you can use it like a gift card (no minimum spending threshold to meet), I've scored free magnets, prints, luggage tags, calendars, and so much more. Speaking of calendars, I got one of those from Kellogg's Family Rewards, too (as well as a code for a free 8x8 hardcover photo book, free prints, address labels and more). Just prior to Christmas I received a code for a free wall calendar from Shutterfly -- just pay shipping. That calendar, filled with photos from our most recent trip to Ireland, was one of my husband's favorite Christmas gifts. And it was free.

So what are you waiting for? Get yourself a Shutterfly account and sign up for Kellogg's Family Rewards. You'll get to earn points on all those fruit snacks, cereals and granola bars, and rack up a ton of savings by reading their emails (printable coupons included!).

OH. And Shutterfly offers free gifts over the weekend on a regular basis. Address labels, magnets, stickers, I've gotten them all. In fact, over the last year (and I checked), I've made 11 purchases through Shutterfly. And I've received:

1 free wall calendar
4 free magnet
~ 521 free prints
4 free sets of address labels
1 free notepad
1 free stationery set (10 cards, 10 envelopes)
1 free 8x8 hardcover photo book
1 free mug

YES. All of that was FREE, sans shipping and handling.

That's between coupon codes for free product and $20 certificates from Kellogg's. And that's just over the last year. You can also keep an eye on sites like RetailMeNot.com for additional Kellogg's Family Rewards codes.

So what are you waiting for?! SIGN UP!
