There are some great sites out there that offer exclusive free samples, exclusive coupons, and sometimes even free product coupons for new products. I know I have talked about some in my blog before but I wanted to mention them again :)

how to make money at staples
I am starting to love Staples, yes staples!! Its very easy to make money there, yes MAKE money!!! Here is what I did:
Previously I recycled 7 ink cartridges (they take any kind, even if they are recycled ones bought off the internet, and give you a $2 reward for each one! and you can recycle 10 a month) which gave me $14 in rewards.
Then I bought a 50ct package of photo sheets, price $9.99, and there is a $8.99 rebate
I also bought a ream of staples multipurpose paper (cause I had to spend over $14 to use my reward) for $5.99, and there is a $3.99 rebate
So my total came to $16.10, I used my $14 reward and paid $2.10 OOP (out of pocket)
My rebate total is $12.98 so once I get that I technically made $10.88!
In this visit I also took in 5 more cartridges so I will be getting another $10 reward!
You can sign up on staples.com for their rewards program, they will give you a card to print. You rewards show up on your rewards account online for you to print.
From staples site:
You will earn 10% back in Staples Rewards on all ink and toner, case and ream paper and Copy & Print purchases
Earn an unlimited 10% back on qualifying purchases when you earn at least $10 in Rewards within a calendar quarter.
Staples Rewards are issued monthly when the value of the Reward is at least $10. Monthly balances of less than $10 will roll over each month until the minimum is met for that calendar quarter. If the $10 minimum for the quarter has not been met, the balance will expire at the end of the quarter.
The rebate you can complete online and then you get a check in the mail.
Happy Shopping!!!

I saved 70% at price chopper!
Went to Price Chopper today in Montrose. I had a few coupons to use before they expired today and in the next few days. Took advantage of some other deals while I was there. I did save a lot but used about 1.5 gallons of gas, so once SuperWalmart opens I will probbaly just price match there, esp since it will be about a mile from my house! Today I only used four coupons that got doubled, the rest were $1+ . I had two 70 cent coupons and two 50 cent coupons, so I gained an extra $1.30 off with the doubling. With what I would save on gas it would def be worth it to skip the long trip, loose the doubled coupon, and go to walmart and price match. Here is what I got today, I think we have enough pasta now in this house to last us a year, cause I stocked up on free pasta from weis awhile ago too!
2-ronzoni garden delight, normally $1.99 ea, on sale for $1, used $1 coupon-free
4-ronzoni quick cook, normally $1.69 ea, on sale for $1, used two $1 off 2 coupon- 50 cents ea
4- ronzoni smart taste, normally $1.49 ea , on sale for $1, used two $1 off 2 coupons-50 cents ea
2-jolly time popcorn, normally $2.50 ea, b1g1f sale, use $1 off 2 coupon, $1.50 for 2 boxes
2-Duncan hines Brownie Mix, normally $2.19, used two 50 cent coupons, which doubled to $1, cost 25 cents for ea box
2-4C totally light iced tea, normally $4.99, on sale for $2.99, used two $2 coupons, cost 99 cents each
2-cheez it baby swiss, normally $3.69, on sale for $2.50, used two $1 coupons, $1.50 each
2-cheez it colby, normally $3.69, on sale for $2.50, used two 70 cent coupons, doubled to $1, cost $1.50 each.
4-lean pockets, normally $2.49, on sale for $2, used two b1g1f coupons, cost $1 each
total cost regular cost, $60.78, cost after advantagedge and coupons savings $17.98! So it was about 70%! Now mind you this was a coupon only shopping trip. I did the rest of my regular weekly grocery shopping earlier in the week. And btw most of my coupons were internet coupons, the only ones from the paper were the jolly time and the 4C!

huggies wipes deal at rite aid
I always see a lot of good deal for diapers, but to me it seems like good wipes deals are hard to come by (except for amazon). Here is the deal I got this week at Rite Aid. I got 1152 wipes for .011 cents ea.
This deal requires 2 survery coupons and 2 separate transactions.
You got a $10 reward for every $30 you spend on Kimberly Clark items. So here is the cheapest way to get the $10, with buying all wipes.
Transaction #1:
buy (2) 216 ct packages of huggies natural care wipes
cost: $6.97 ea, $13.94 total
use $3 off $15 purchase survery coupon (you will have to purchase another item to make it to $15)
use $1/2 huggies wipes 60 ct or larger
total: $9.94
Transaction #2:
buy (2) 360 ct boxes of huggies natural care wipes (Tunkhannock Rite Aids didnt have these, had to go to the bigger Rite Aid in Dallas)
cost: $8.97 ea, $17.94 total
use $3 off $15 purchase survery coupon
use $1/2 huggies wipes 60 ct or larger
use $1 off non-rx purchase video values coupon
total: $12.94
total for both transactions: $22.88 and you will get a $10 UP reward, total for purchase: $12.88!

best baby food/snack deals
From my experience here is where to get the best deals!
First-gerber snacks, lil entrees, pastas pickups, yogurt..buy them at weis! They typically have good sales on them, and they double the coupons. Gerber coupons usually are under $1 and you have to buy two. The gerber yogurt always goes on sale for $2 and if you have a 75 cent off one coupon you can get the four pack for $1.
Second-Target is the best deal for gerber baby food. The 2 packs usually go on sale for 10 for $9, or 90 cents ea. So if you have $1 off 3 stage 2 two packs, you get 3 two packs for 85 cents ea or about 43 cents a container. If you cant get to target when they have the sale, dont forget walmart price matches. Gerber offers coupons for a lot of their products on their facebook page http://www.facebook.com/#!/Gerber
Third-Beechnut is the cheapest, get it at walmart. Even with a sale Weis is more expensive. I believe the 2nd stage jar is 46 or 47 cents, if you have a $1/10 items orit comes down to 36 or 37 cents a container, cheaper than gerber! If you have a $1 off 8 jars it makes it even better!
Beechnut has a great rewards program where you can get coupons, check it out here http://www.beechnut.com/Special%20Offers/BeechNutRewards.asp
And they are very fast with sending rewards, it states it takes up to 8 weeks, I usually get mine in 3-4 weeks.
And the nice thing is you can send in two cereal upcs and get baby food coupons. So you have to check it out!
and also sign up for the newsletter, you should get coupons for free items like cereal and baby food in your email and also in the mail
http://www.beechnut.com/Special%20Offers/Enewsletter.asp
Fourth-If you want organic, BRU/TRU is the best place..Earths Best typically goes on sale 20 jars for $10. You can print 3 $1 off & jars on their website http://www.earthsbest.com/node/311
and you can also find coupons for $1 off 5 jars sometimes in the parenting early years. I just got 20 jars on Saturday, used 2 $1 off 7 and 1 $1 off 5 and got the 20 jars for $7 or 35 cents each, which is an awesome price for earths best
Fifth-Cereal--beechnut is definitely cheaper than gerber, even with the 55 cents off 2 gerber coupons. Last time I checked the beechnut was around $1.50 and the gerber is close to $2. If you have a $1 off beechnut cereal it makes it even better!
I have never paid full price for cereal, baby food, snacks, or even formula! Sometimes coupons for these items are hard to come by so that is why I trade coupons (as I have mentioned many many times!)

great deal on iced tea at weis, and other deals
Just found another great deal at weis! the Swiss Iced tea is 2 for $4. There was a b1g1f coupon in the inserts a few weeks ago, I am sorry I dont remember which one and I tried searching online and cant find it (i clip all the coupons and put them in a binder so i never know where they came from). The coupon actually took off the regular price of the iced tea, which is $2.69, so both gallons ended up costing $1.31 total!
Also the 4 pack of gerber yogurt is on sale for $2. If you have a 75 cent coupon it gets doubled to $1, making it $1. Or if there are any left you can print a 55 cent gerber yogurt coupon here, which will get doubled to $1

free scotch tape and 49 cent scissors
I came accross some scotch coupons that make for free/cheap office supplies.
First here is a link for a bunch of scotch coupons, its a pdf, so you do have to print the whole page, these coupons expire 6/30/11.
http://www.3m.com/brands/scotch/promos/welcomecoupon.pdf
There is also a scotch scissors coupon that doesnt expire til 12/31/11 on target's website, this is a manuf coupon. http://www.target.com/
Use the $1 off one scotch tape at Weis, there is a price cut on the tape, its priced at $1 so its free after the coupon (I believe the price cut was until 5/17, not I am not 100% sure)
Use the $1 off scissors at target to score them for just 49 cents!
