    Heads Up! You Can Now Use Target Cartwheel Discounts Online 💃

    Heads Up! You Can Now Use Target Cartwheel Discounts Online 💃

    Last week Target announced that you can finally use Cartwheel offer discounts on your online purchases! That means you can place your order online and apply the discounts right there at checkout! This discount can be applied both online and from the Target app when you select store-pickup or Drive-Up options! Here's How It Works Select the items you'd like to purchase Select in-store pickup (or Drive Up) Any available cartwheel discount should show up on the product page Or add any to your wallet as normal, and they'll apply instantly at checkout Discounts will apply at checkout! What's The Catch? For now you won't be able to use Cartwheel discounts on orders that you ship to your home. But that's okay, this still makes it easier to place your order and pick it up at your convenience instead of running to the store for a deal! If your order includes a promo for a free gift card, the cartwheel discount will apply after the free gift card is factored in. That means shopping in stores for the same items will get you the better deal. This option is awesome for times you just don't have the time to fit a Target run into your day! What do you think of this change? Will you start using Cartwheel Offers online? Let us know in the comments below! :) [contentblock id=2 img=gcb.png]

Don't Step In It! Unicorn Edition 💩 Don't Step In It! Unicorn Edition is (in my humble opinion) the hottest toy this year. It's a special edition available only on Amazon and it is now completely sold out. A few times a week Amazon would release a small batch and it would sell out quickly. You can already find them at twice the retail rate on Ebay. Mold rainbow colored compound to look like unicorn poop to place on a plastic play mat. Players try not to step in the poops as they walk along the mat while wearing a blindfold. An entertaining game for kids ages 4 and up. Retail Price is $19. Expect prices to go up as supply decreases and demand increases. Amazon Ebay The Unicorn Edition is based off the Original Don't Step In It game. My kids absolutely LOVE this game. We call it "Don't Step on Poop" at my house.  And my kids are rolling in laughter when we play it. It really is a lot more fun than it sounds. Plus kids love it! If you don't need the Unicorn Edition, you can get the original Don't Step In It for around $14. 2. Pomsies Plush Interactive Toy Pomsies Interactive Toys will tell you when they feel tired, cold or hungry. Their eyes light up and they have purring and cute sounds. They also react to touch when you pet them. The tail can twist and lock to wear on your wrist, backpack and more. Retail is around $14-$15. Amazon Walmart.com Kohl's Target 3. LOL Surprise!

    Can you believe it's almost that time of the year again!🙈 Black Friday ad season is officially here. I know it's still early, but Harbor Freight Tools Black Friday Ad is now live. The rest of the store ads will be rolling in before you know it. Which stores' Black Friday ads do you look forward to the most? I've put together a list of stores and prediction of when their Black Friday ad should be "leaked" or officially released.  These dates are based on the leak dates from the last 2 years (2017 and 2016). Keep in mind, this is just an educated estimate based on prior year's dates, and the actual dates will likely vary. I'll be sure to update this page with links as they become live. I'll be covering Black Friday fully here on the blog. Do the following to make sure you don't miss the latest Black Friday coverage: Follow Black Friday Alert on Instagram - Turn on Notification Bookmark Black Friday Deals Page Bookmark Black Friday Ads Page Sign Up Email Updates - Be the first to know when new Black Friday ads are leaked Sign Up Text Alerts Join Black Friday Facebook Group Most stores will have a week long sale event, with extra special "Doorbuster" deals available on Black Friday (November 23). Do you typically shop in-stores or online? What are some items you have your eye on this year? Leave me a comment and let me know. When Will 2018 Black Friday Ads Be Out? Again, these are just estimated prediction dates based on previous dates. Actual dates will likely vary depending on the retailer.

    Heads Up: Walgreens Balance Rewards Point System Changes Coming in November!

    Heads Up: Walgreens Balance Rewards Point System Changes Coming in November!

    Starting 11/4, Walgreens will be changing their Balance Rewards system! Currently you can redeem anywhere from 1,000 points ($1 reward) to 40,000 points per transaction, which equals a $50 discount. However, with the new change you'll still earn 10 points for every $1 spent, but you can only redeem up to 5,000 points (or $5) per transaction. How will Walgreens Balance Rewards work starting 11/4: Unfortunately, starting 11/4, the Balance Rewards system will be changing. You will only be able to redeem points in accordance with five tiers, and with maximum redemption limit being at 5,000 points ($5 reward). This keeps people from saving up hundreds of dollars in points and using them all at once. The new structure will work like this: 1,000 points = $1 discount 2,000 points = $2 discount 3,000 points = $3 discount 4,000 points = $4 discount 5,000 points = $5 discount (maximum) Having this in mind, if you have a lot of points in your Balance Rewards account, we strongly suggest using them before 11/4, since you might be potentially facing a 20% decrease in points' value if you don't. Please note that you cannot redeem points to purchase alcohol, dairy, tobacco, prepaid cards, clinic services, prescriptions, pharmacy items or services, contact lenses, and photo orders not picked up in store.

    Favorite Things Friday: How to Twist Open Any Jar Lid Easily & Effortlessly 😍

    Favorite Things Friday: How to Twist Open Any Jar Lid Easily & Effortlessly 😍

    UPDATE: This Giveaway is now over! Winner announcement has been posted on my homepage. See more Giveaways being dropped on my blog here. I don't know about you, but opening a brand new jar of pickles or pasta sauce has always been a pain point for me. If my husband isn't home and I can't get it to open, then I usually have to put the jar back. No pickles for you! 😭 I've tried different techniques and anecdotal hacks to opening a jar: tapping the jar lid with a spoon, running the lid under hot water, tapping the back of the jar violently hoping to break the vacuum seal, and of course, using brute force. Sometimes I'll do everything, until the dang jar opens.  Usually it works. But sometimes it doesn't. And I'm usually left in a sweaty mess after wrestling with a jar. Life is too short to feel frustrated at the sight of a jar. 😉 Enter Robo Twist! My relationship with all vacuum sealed jars has forever changed since I discovered the magical prowess of the Robo Twist. I didn't think I could love a kitchen gadget as much as I do with this. It's like having a boyfriend with you in the kitchen at all times, lending "his" strong arms with any jar that tickles your cravings. Big jars or little jars. Square jars or round jars! He can handle it all! I'm embarrassed to admit that I did learn about it from an infomercial on TV late one night. And I was super skeptical (as one would with such commercials seen on TV). After some digging around, and despite some low star reviews, I ordered one on Amazon (it was cheaper than the TV offer and had free prime shipping). The rest is history. Opening a jar now is a fun, effortless and satisfying experience that leaves me smiling... and sometimes jiggling at how easy it is. I used it last night, and it made me feel happy. I made a quick 16-second video for ya when my "boyfriend" opened a jar of pasta sauce. You can watch it here. You can also see their TV commercial in the listing page on Amazon. I know these commercials can feel sleazy and over-promising. I feel the resistance to believe it too. But It really does work as easily as the commercial. Really. It would also make an inexpensive and useful gift idea. Especially with the holidays just around the corner. Keep this in mind.  You can get it here. (This is a new series of articles on some Fridays called "Favorite Things Friday" where I'll be sharing some of my favorite things, products & life tips, in hopes that you might find it useful in some way for your family.

For today's Favorite Things Friday, I'm gonna keep it short: I love Trucker Hats! The end. 😂 I like that I can quickly throw them over messy hair and still make me somewhat put together. lol.

    Favorite Things Friday: Dinner Winner Kids Dinner Trays (Making Meal Time Fun) 😋

    Favorite Things Friday: Dinner Winner Kids Dinner Trays (Making Meal Time Fun) 😋

    UPDATE: This Giveaway is now over! Winner announcement has been posted on my homepage. See more Giveaways being dropped on my blog here. My son Ryan is kind of a picky eater (he takes after my husband, Mr FSF 😂). While my daughter Sophie isn't a picky eater, she would start to mimic her brother's behaviors (and verbal complaints), and before you know it, meal times can turn into a battle of wills. Me vs them. And it usually ends in tears. Then last year I discovered these plates made by Fred & Friends called "Dinner Winner". They are designed to encourage kids to finish their food. If you follow me on SnapChat, you may have seen me use these plates when preparing meals for my kids. I LOVE these trays! They are so fun and colorful. Each tray is set up like a little board game, where you follow a "map" of food to a " hidden treasure".  When you finish the trail of food, the last placement is a covered spot for a hidden treat. 😬  This is your "bait". #Genius! The first day I brought these plates out, they were an instant hit! And they really did motivate both my kiddos to finish their food, including things they didn't like. I've since gotten these trays in pretty much every pattern 🙈. They really do make mealtime more fun, and can motivate and encourage picky eaters to finish their meals (and even try new things). I typically put a little piece of chocolate in the treat spot and that does the trick. Anyway, it's been a lot of fun preparing their meals and watching them use these trays. If you have a fussy eater, or you just want to add some fun into meal time, I recommend checking these plates out. They come in 5 different patterns.

    Favorite Things Friday: Get Organized with KonMari Folding Method + Dream Drawers ❤️

    Favorite Things Friday: Get Organized with KonMari Folding Method + Dream Drawers ❤️

    UPDATE: This Giveaway is now over! Winner announcement has been posted on my homepage. See more Giveaways being dropped on my blog here. (This is a new series of articles on Fridays called "Favorite Things Friday" where I'll be sharing some of my favorite things, products & life tips, in hopes that you might find it useful in some way for your family. Join me back here every Friday. Plus, every Favorite Things Friday article will have a giveaway on it!) I've been on a journey this year to declutter my life and my house. As a child, I didn't grow up in a very organized household. There was clutter and things everywhere. Every drawer you opened. Every surface... had clutter. And as an adult, I never learned the skills and habits to keep a home organized. Seeing that my home reflected that of the cluttered environment I grew up in, I felt really determined to take some action this year and to change.  I wanted to learn new habits and to invite more peace into our home. Plus, I didn't want my kids to grow up in and to adopt the same bad habits I did. While I still have a lot to learn, and changing one's habit is a process that will take time and practice. I'm really proud of what I've started to adopt into my family's life so far. Marie Kondo's book "The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up" was LIFE Changing! I started with the physical book but ended up listening to the Audiobook instead. If you wanna dive in quickly like me, I highly recommend that you listen to the audiobook - You'll get thru it much faster, plus you can listen and tidy at the same time (that's what I did lol). You can get TWO Free Audiobooks here if you are new to audible. If you listen to the audiobook, I do have to warn you that the narrative is a little dry. Listen for the content and power thru it. It's worth it. :) Okay. You've been warned ... so you're not surprised. If you follow me on SnapChat, you may have seen my transformation this year with decluttering my closet and re-doing the dresser drawer for each of my kids (and myself). Many of you wrote in and started doing the same (see pics below). One of the sweetest new habits I picked up from Marie Kondo is her method and philosophy on folding clothes: Fold as much as you can instead of hanging You can fold almost anything into a little rectangle shape (more on this later below) - Even underwear and socks Store folded clothing vertically (standing up) Give everything a home Ever since converting over to the "KonMari" folding method. Opening my drawers each morning to pick out a pair of tees, leggings, and socks has turned into a joyful ritual. I can't explain it. You have to experience it to understand. And folding fresh laundry no longer feels like a chore. It feels like a peaceful medication that's calming and fulfilling. How to Fold Clothes Using KonMarie Method I had a hard time visualizing and understanding her folding method from the audiobook, so I googled videos of Marie Kondo actually doing it.  And it made so much more sense to see it visually. There are tons of video on YouTube you can look into, but here are a few to get you started: Marie Kondo: Basic Folding Method KonMari Method - Marie Demonstrating in English Folding Awkward Items on Rachael Ray Show Marie on Folding the Perfect Underwear Drawer Marie on the Ellen Show - Teaching Ellen to Fold Basic Folding Illustration I found that by converting to her folding method, not only does it look nice, you can fit a lot more into a dresser than stacking them flat. I used to use 3-4 drawers for the same content I now keep in one drawer. Tools I Love for Keeping Drawers Organized While you don't need to buy any tools for KonMari folding method (you can use cardboards as dividers), I ended up using these Dial Dream Drawer Organizers as dividers for my dressers. It looks so much nicer to have these plastic dividers to separate the different sections. I've also tried these wood dividers but didn't like them (they were hard to use and I don't recommend it). For my kid's drawers, I also got some of these clear storage trays for socks, underwear and swimsuits. That's it! :) Here are more pics of examples using the clear trays for my daughter Sophie: When I started converting our dressers, I first started with my own clothing. I used to have several drawers and shelves, now have two fully converted dresser drawers that fit everything.  One drawer each for socks, underwear and bras. And one drawer for tops and leggings. I breakdown tops into tank tops, short sleeve tees and long sleeve tees. Both my kids dressers are now fully converted too. My kids have a lot more clothes than me. So they have a drawer for tops, a drawer for bottoms, a drawer for PJs, and since we're in SoCal and swim a lot, a drawer for swimsuits. 😬 My son is on the Autism spectrum. Like all children who has ASD, he needs (and craves) structure. One of our biggest daily struggles is getting him ready in the morning, groomed and dressed. It's chaos every morning! I started using the dream drawer dividers to carve out a spot for each day of the week in his dresser. I would pick out his clothes (including underwear and socks - not shown in pic above) at the start of the week, so mornings during the school week can go a little smoother. I wanted to share this pic of my son's "days of week" drawer, just in case it's helpful. I have been brainstorming different ideas and found this to be helpful for our family. I think even for children who doesn't have Autism, this can be helpful in morning routines to get your young kiddos ready for school. I Want to See Your Progress If you plan to adapt this folding method into your life, I would LOVE, love, love to see pictures of your progress. Here are some pictures some of you already sent to me on SnapChat. I love seeing your pics. They make my day. ❤️ Thank you @isabel_mn and @bluebudderfly for sharing these pics.

    The Ultimate Guide to Using SavingStar App (How Does SavingStar Work?)

    The Ultimate Guide to Using SavingStar App (How Does SavingStar Work?)

    SavingStar is one of the Cashback Apps that gives you money back for select purchases made in stores. You can also activate and submit receipts from their website (the App is not required).  Cashback apps are a convenient way to save money on groceries and household purchases, without needing to cut coupons or use printable coupons. In some cases, you can use Cashback Apps in addition to coupons for extra savings! This Free smartphone app allows you to earn money on products you'd already be purchasing. Simply add stores you shop at, activate your offers, purchase, submit and get paid. This guide will document everything you need to know to get started. Start by creating an account on the SavingStar website here, then download the Free SavingStar app - available on the App Store or Google Play. You can redeem offers from over 70,000 stores, including my favorites - Target, CVS and Kroger affiliates. Then cash out once your account reaches a $20 balance. You can see a full list of all the participating stores once you are signed into the SavingStar website. #1. How to Start with SavingStar: Click here to create an account Download and install the SavingStar app. Sign in from the app to the account you just created. Activate offers (aka "Rebates") you want to do (or SavingStar offers we've posted on this blog) - Note that SavingStar requires that the offer is Activated before purchase. (Important Concept) Depending on the store you plan to shop at to redeem the offer, you may or may not need to submit a receipt to claim that cash back. This is an important distinction. Let me explain. There are two types of stores in SavingStar for redeeming offers: A) Automatic-Savings Stores - For stores with loyalty card program that you can sign into, you only set up once to link to your loyalty card. And then you get automatic cash back after purchasing the item (it takes several days). You do not need to submit receipts to claim. B) Receipt-Scan - For stores without a loyalty card program, you'll need to submit a picture of your receipt to claim. Let's cover each of the two store redemption types in detail: A) Automatic-Savings Stores (ie. CVS, Rite Aid) Automatic-Savings Stores are select retailers where loyalty cards are available, eliminating the additional process of scanning and submitting your receipt. Automatic-Savings Stores include CVS and Rite Aid.   All you have to do is set up once by linking your loyalty card with SavingStar, and then you'll be set without ever needing to scan your receipt for purchases in these stores. Just activate offers, purchase, and you're done! To Setup Automatic-Savings Stores: From SavingStar App Click on "Redeem" Click on "+ Add Store" (example: try CVS or Rite Aid) Select the stores you shop at by clicking on the "I Shop Here" button. If the store is an Automatic-Savings store, it'll give you options to link to your store card. Follow the steps to link store card to SavingStar. How to Redeem SavingStar Offers at Automatic-Savings Stores: At checkout, simply present your loyalty card or enter your phone number as usual. Within 2-10 days, the offer will automatically be credited to your SavingStar account - no additional steps required!  Just remember to activate the offer before you shop. Here are the steps on what to do: Activate the offer in the SavingStar app or from SavingStar.com Purchase the item in the store. Enter your store loyalty card or phone number at checkout The offer will be automatically processed to your SavingStar account within 2-10 days! B) Receipt-Scan Stores (ie. Target, Walmart, Everywhere else...) For all other stores that SavingStar supports that are not Automatic-Savings Stores, you would redeem those offers by taking a picture of your receipt and submitting it in either the SavingStar app or on SavingStar.com This method is similar to other cash back apps, such as Ibotta or Checkout51. Popular receipt-scan stores include Target, Publix and Walmart. To redeem: Activate the offer in SavingStar app before purchase Purchase the item. You will need to submit receipt no later than 3 days after rebates expire. Click on Redeem Select the Store you shopped at. ie. Target Click on "Submit a Receipt" button Click on "Verify Items You Bought" - Scan barcodes of items purchased to verify Click on "Snap pics of your receipt" and capture your receipt picture(s) thru the app. You can take multiple pictures for long receipts. Click "Done" when you are finished capturing the entire receipt. The offer will be processed to your account within 1-5 days! #2. Types of SavingStar Offers: There are two main types of offers in the SavingStar app: A) Individual Product Offers: Individual Product Offers allow you to earn rewards on single, specific products. Please note that most offers are for one-time use only. You’ll receive credit within 2-10 days with the offer amount. How to Redeem: Activate offers by clicking the "Activate This Rebate" button. While shopping, use the SavingStar app to scan product barcodes. This will ensure that the product you are purchasing qualifies for the offer selected. Load-to-Card offers: Allow 2-10 days for processing. Receipt-Scan offers: Allow 1-5 days for processing after submitting your receipt. B) One or Many Offers: One or Many offers are offers where you can make purchases in one trip or many trips at any stores participating in SavingStar. These offers have a spending threshold, where you earn a larger reward when the spending threshold is met for a specific brand or set of brands.   The BEST part about these offers is that items can be purchased in separate transactions at ANY participating store, allowing you to work towards the offer over time. For example, I recently activated an offer on Del Monte Fruit Cups: “Save $4.00 when you spend $12 or more.” These offers also tend to have longer expiration dates than individual offers. With longer valid periods, you can work towards the goal over several shopping trips! How to Redeem: Activate offers by clicking the "Activate This Rebate" button Scan barcodes and shop for qualifying items - remember, this can be done over several days and at different stores if desired! Keep an eye out for “boosts” that will help you reach your goal faster. These are typically small tasks: for example, watching a short video and receiving $2 toward your offer. Load-to-Card offers: Allow 2-10 days for processing. Receipt-Scan offers: Allow 1-5 days for processing after submitting final receipt. C) Healthy Offers: After redeeming two offers on SavingStar, keep an eye out on Tuesdays for healthy offers each week! This is an easy way for qualified members to earn rebates on fresh produce. Nice! #3. How to Cash Out in SavingStar! Once your SavingStar account balance reaches a credit of $20 or more, you can request to cash out! Send funds to your bank account, PayPal or redeem on gift codes to Starbucks, AMC and more. Allow 24-48 hours for processing. #4. Can You Combine SavingStar with Coupons or Cashback Apps? Sometimes... it depends. Stacking with Other Cashback Apps Check the fine print of individual offers from the SavingStar mobile app to see what restrictions it has on combining with Coupons or Cashback apps.  If there are restrictions, it will state it. Not all offers will have restrictions. Currently, what we know is that SavingStar and Checkout51 share user data. They match users via email address. So if you use the same email address for all cashback apps, they will be linked. I've seen the situation where the same offer exist on both apps, and once you claim the offer on one app, it'll disappear on the other app. Or if I activate an offer on SavingStar, it'll say "0 available" in Checkout51. For other Cashback apps on the market like ibotta or fetchrewards, it seems that you can stack with SavingStar (at the time of this writing). Stacking with Manufacturer's Coupon Manufacturer's coupons (like the ones you find from Sunday inserts), Printable coupons & Digital Coupons can SOMETIMES be stacked with SavingStar. Again, you'll need to check the fine print for each offer inside the SavingStar app. Look for restrictions in the "detail" section such as "Cannot be used in conjunction with other coupons" or similar notes. If you see those restrictions then you can't. However, if you don't see any fine print or don't see restrictions in the fine print, then you can stack with manufacturer's coupons. You can also stack SavingStar offers with in-store discounts and sales. #5. Helpful SavingStar Tips Activate Hot Offers Quickly - All SavingStar offers have a limit to how many people can activate it. Although this limit isn't publicly disclosed, we have seen hot offers hitting the limit quickly. So if you see an offer you are interested in, make sure to clip it by clicking on the Activate button. "Claim it" before they are gone! Scan Products in Store to Verify - I like to double check while I'm in stores, to verify that I'm buying the correct item before actually making the purchase. You can use the SavingStar app to scan the product's barcode to see if the product matches the offer. This double checking also makes sure you have activated the offer before purchase. Submit Receipt While In-Store - This is just a personal preference and habit I highly recommend for ALL cashback offers. Instead of waiting until you get home to submit your receipt, I like to make the habit of submitting to cashback immediately after I purchase, while I'm still in the store. This way you won't forget to do it later, and you won't miss out on offers that might expire (or get pulled early) overnight. #LessonLearned #FirstHandExperience 😂 You Don't Need a Smartphone - You can actually submit rebate claims and activate offers without the mobile app. You can do everything online at SavingStar.com - including submitting a picture of your receipt.

    Favorite Things Friday: FreshWorks Produce Saver (Keep Strawberries Fresh for Longer)🍓

    Favorite Things Friday: FreshWorks Produce Saver (Keep Strawberries Fresh for Longer)🍓

    I'm trying this new series of articles on Fridays called "Favorite Things Friday" where I will be sharing some of my favorite things, products, life tips, in hopes that you might find it useful in some way for your family. Please let me know in the comments if you would like to see more articles like this. I'm experimenting with this for the next few weeks. If you would like to see more articles like this, I can keep this series going. 😁 To go along with these Friday articles, I'll also include a Giveaway! My kids love strawberries and blueberries. One of the biggest frustrations I have with strawberries is that they rot so quickly in the fridge. So much so that I started avoiding buying Organic Strawberries, since they tend to go bad even faster. Often, I'll check back after 2-3 days of buying them, and the entire pack is moldy and needs to be thrown away. I hate wasting food! (Really, I hate wasting anything that I paid for with hard earned money.) Let me document some tips and products I found helpful in helping to keep strawberries fresh for longer (and other produce too). How to Keep Strawberries Fresh for Longer Here are some tips that I've learned on how to keep strawberries last longer than the usual 2-3 days. The key to keeping strawberries fresh is to keep them stored clean and dry. 1. Wash Right Away with Vinegar Once I get home from the grocery store, I wash the Strawberries before they go in the fridge. Mold spores on the fruits are what makes them go bad quickly. I wash my strawberries with Apple Cider Vinegar and water mix. You can do this in a big bowl or a salad spinner. Leave it soaking for a few minutes. The vinegar solution helps to remove spores and bacteria on the fruit, thus extending their life. I typically add about 2 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar to a bowl of water. But you can use regular Vinegar as well. Some people add more vinegar for their wash solution (ie. 1 cup vinegar for 3 cups of water), in which case you'll have to rinse extra well. 2. Dry Your Strawberries Drying your berries is the next important step. You can get rid of excess water by spinning it a few times in a salad spinner. AND/OR drying it with a soft cloth or paper towel. You can also air dry them in a colander, but with so many things going on, I'm afraid I'll forget about the drying berries on the counter overnight (lol), so I don't do this. 3. Storing Your Strawberries for Freshness The quick and cheapest solution (what I used to use) for storage is to line the plastic containers (they came in) with paper towels and put the berries back in the containers. And then a few months ago, there was a deal we posted on these Rubbermaid FreshWorks containers. I got a set to try and have been hooked ever since! 😍 There's a little perforated tray in the bottom of the container to keep produce from soaking in any condensation and moisture. And the lid has little "holes" in it to allow air flow in and out of the container. I've since purchased a few more of these from Target (with the food storage category coupon), and I use it with all my fruit that needs washing. One tip I found to be helpful is to wash all your fruits and veggies in one sitting. Then dry and store. It'll save you time in the long run instead of washing one item as you need it. Plus, it's so much more convenient to use, without the additional friction of needing to wash fruits. In the mornings, I love pulling out my green and white containers of already washed fruits and packing my kid's lunches. SO Nice! Giveaway Time! Win a Set of FreshWorks for FREE To make it fun, I'm gonna include a Giveaway to go with these Favorite Things Friday articles every Friday💃. Check back every Friday for more of my Favorite Things. For today's giveaway, I'm giving away the 3-Piece set of FreshWorks Produce Saver Food Storage Containers to 4 Readers. This giveaway starts on Friday 8/24 and will end on Monday 8/27.

    Heads Up: Rite Aid Plenti Points Expire 7/10 (Use Them While You Can!)

    Heads Up: Rite Aid Plenti Points Expire 7/10 (Use Them While You Can!)

    If you're a Rite Aid shopper you may have noticed that back in January Rite Aid switched away from the Plenti Points program to the Wellness+ Points system. While you haven't been earning any Plenti Points since that switch, you may still have some left! Right now you're still able to redeem your Plenti Points in stores, however any remaining Plenti Points will expire on 7/10, your last day to use them. Plenti Points Expiring: Only July 10th at 9pm PST, all remaining Plenti Points in your account will expire. Until then, members will continue to have access to any available points and can use those points for savings on eligible purchases at participating Exxon and Mobil gas stations, Rite Aid stores and BI-LO, Winn-Dixie, and Harveys supermarkets. On July 10, 2018, the Plenti program will end. On that date, any unredeemed Plenti points will expire. This means you should take the time to check the point balance in your Plenty Points account, and make sure to roll them into Wellness+ Points at Rite Aid, so you don't lose out. Check out our Rite Aid Deals for ways to spend your points. Additionally, if you just want to use up your points, stock up on household essentials at Rite Aid and pay in Plenti Points! You can also use up your points at Exxon and Mobil gas stations, BI-LO, Winn-Dixie, and Harveys supermarkets. For more information on the Plenti Points system ending, click here. Rite Aid Wellness+ Point System: In Jan 2018, Rite Aid changed their rewards program to the new Wellness+ BonusCash program. If you've shopped at Rite Aid since then, you've most likely been earning Wellness+ Points. You can sign up for Wellness+ BonusCash here or in-store. Also, you can download the free Rite Aid mobile app to access your loyalty card information. For more information about Rite Aid, check out our article on How to Coupon at Rite Aid! :) [contentblock id=7 img=gcb.png]

    VIDEO: How to Organize Coupons - Whole Insert Filing Method

    VIDEO: How to Organize Coupons – Whole Insert Filing Method

    Hey! I recently setup a new coupon box and I thought it would be interesting to bring you along. Click on the play button above, or click on this link to watch a video on my preferred way on how to organize coupons. Once you start collecting Sunday inserts, they can start to pile up quickly into a cluttered mess. There are many ways to organize coupons: You can put whole inserts in a binder, you can pre-cut individual coupons and put them in baseball card holders in a binder or even keeping them in one tall stack. While having individual coupons pre-cut is idea, it is also the most time consuming. I prefer the whole insert filing method.  It's quick! Literally, takes 2 to 5 mins to maintain each week. I plan out my trip each week, and clip the coupons as needed before my trip. Materials You Will Need: I got everything from Office Depot only because I had reward dollars that was expiring. You can find everything (except Label Once) at almost any store that sells office supplies. Office Depot also had Free next day shipping, so that was nice. I got them here pretty fast and was able to use coupons plus reward dollars. Some of the filing supplies such as filing folders comes in a pack of 100. You only need about 20 folders. It might be a good idea to split it with a friend. Filing Box Here is the exact ones I bought (It also comes in navy here). You can also get them at Amazon, Staples, Target, Walmart. You can also use a filing crate. I prefer the plastic filing box, since they are portable. You can bring it in your car with a handle. I prefer the file box with storage on top, with a handle. Get letter sized. Hanging Folders Standard letter size hanging folders Here are the exact ones I bought. Comes in variety of cute colors. Again, you can pretty much find this at any store that sells office supplies: Amazon, Office Depot, Staples, Target, Walmart. Filing Folders (Optional) Letter sized filing folders Here are the exact ones I bought. Label Once Erasable File Labels (Optional) This is optional, but I highly recommended. Alternatively, you can also get labels and place new labels over old ones. Or use sticky notes or masking tape. I find the label once to be a more elegant solution. This is the exact one I bought. But perhaps this would be better for the hanging folders (I just saw this now. Note that the link is a refill kit so it doesn't come with a pen). On the video, I said that the marker it comes with is a white erase marker. But I just realized now that they are actually permanent markers. The material of Label Once allows for permanent markers to be erased. So you technically can use sharpies as well. Sharpie Any brand of permanent marker How to Setup: #1. Hanging Folder Setup Get 12 hanging folders Add clear tabs on them There are 11 holes to place the tabs. I positioned them so you see 4 tabs at a time without overlapping.  If you want to get it exactly, first tab I placed between 1 and 3 spot. Second tab I placed between 4 and 6. Third tab I placed between 7 and 9. Fourth tab is placed between 9 and 11. Put erasable labels over each tab #2. Grab Inserts Get your whole inserts from Sunday newspaper If you get multiple inserts, group them by like inserts. Smart Source, RetailMe Not, P&G TIP: Pull out any extra fliers ads that's in the insert that doesn't contain coupons to keep it less bulky #3. Write Date & Type on Insert Cover Write "SS 3/25" on the cover of first insert for each type of insert. If you receive multiple Smart Source that are different, label them #1 and #2. ie. "SS 3/25 #1" TIP: You can check the date of your insert by looking on the binding edge. It's really tiny. #4. Write Date on Hanging Holder Label Write the Sunday's date where these inserts were found on the hanging folder label. Keep the newest dates at the front. #5. Separate Types of Inserts (Optional) If you get multiple inserts, I recommend separating each insert type into its own separate filing folder. In the video I assumed you were getting multiple inserts like me. If you only get 1 or 2 inserts a week, then you can skip this step and use just the hanging folder for the week. Insert Names: SS = Smart Source RP = RetailMe Not (Previously called Redplum) P&G = Proctor & Gamble #6. Putting P&G At the Front (Optional) Additionally, I like to keep my P&G inserts in one folder at the very front of the box. P&G inserts expire within the month and new ones are released every month. It's something I'll access often and they usually expire quickly. For that reason, I prefer to keep them where I can quickly access them instead of organizing by date and trying to remember which date current month's P&G came out on. #7. Do a Happy Dance! 💃 That's it! Now do a happy dance. You are on your way to coupon organization bliss. :) It'll only take you a couple of minutes each week to file them away and stay organized. Now that they are all organized by date and insert name, you will be able to quickly location your coupons when you are ready to do a deal. Every coupon deal we post on FSF, we'll indicate where to locate that insert coupon (ie. "SS 3/25, x4/25" - that means you can find it from SmartSource 3/25 and that the coupon expires on 4/25). I typically keep 12 week's worth of inserts in my coupon box. Adding new weeks to the front of the box. Once I've filled all 12 week's spots, take out the oldest folder (at the back), pull out the inserts, re-name the label, and re-use for the current week.  Go thru the old inserts to see if there are any good coupons that haven't expired.  Optionally, if you prefer to keep your coupons for even longer, you can also pull this folder out and move it into an overflow coupon box (Second box). Each week, I plan my trips, and clip out just the coupons that I will be using for that trip. I put them in an envelope for each store I'm visiting. I've also used a canvas pencil pouch in the past. But found that paper envelops were easier. I still use a canvas pencil pouch to hold my receipts for each store. Many people also like to keep a small accordion folder or small coupon organizer to store their clipped coupons. You can organize each tabs by major categories you coupon for.  I found mine (plastic one) at Staples in the clearance bin. I've also gotten them from Target before. Lots of options. Here are some options on Amazon with great reviews:  this one (comes in pink!) and this one.
    RIP Adolfo

    RIP Adolfo

    I am so deeply saddened. I got news this morning that a beloved member of team FSF passed away last week. Adolfo has been the Target expert between 2014 and 2017. He was a Major contributor to the many deals you may have scored in the last few years, including many, many, many unadvertised sales and scenarios at Target. He was also responsible for the massive undertaking that is the Target weekly matchup each week. That was his baby for 3 years - he took care of her with such diligence and care. He was kind, smart, passionate and silly. He was also the most considerate person, always willing to help anyone on the team. I loved him. We all loved him. Being the only male couponer on the team, he was our very own special unicorn. He loved deals. When the girls and I would get excited about a tampon deal or a curling wand deal, he would get excited with us and rush to do the deals for his sisters or mom. Every Black Friday, he'd stay up all night with me, making sure I was okay before he signed off. He always thought about other people. Always. I miss you Adolfo. I love you. My heart is broken. The world isn't the same without you. You were a GOOD person. We are all deeply saddened. My heart goes out to his family. If you see this. Will you whisper a prayer tonight? May our beloved Adolfo Rest in Peace. May the people who love him heal from this terrible loss.
    RedPlum is Retiring this Sunday - Rebranded as "RetailMeNot Everyday" 😳

    RedPlum is Retiring this Sunday – Rebranded as “RetailMeNot Everyday” 😳

    Calling all my coupon fam! Starting this Sunday, March 25th, RedPlum inserts will be rebranded as "RetailMeNot Everyday". The insert publication schedule for the rest of this year will remain the same as RedPlum previously scheduled. As always, you will still get them in your Sunday papers or in the mail. Besides manufacturer's coupons for groceries and consumer packaged goods, Valassis announced that we will also be seeing deals on restaurants and other local discounts. I don't know about you. But I will forever call this insert "RP". What about you? I don't think I can get used to saying RMNE 😂. Or I guess "RE" wouldn't be so bad.  If it was up to me, I would have rebranded it to something where the second word starts with the letter P. Something like "RetailMeNot Plus". For now you can still snag your RedPlum Printable Coupons from the website, however they will eventually move to the RetailMeNot Everyday website in conjunction with the new branded inserts. What's a RedPlum? What's an insert? - Inserts are coupon booklets found inside Sunday newspapers. You might see us referencing these weird acronyms from coupon deal posts. They reference the insert name and which Sunday that coupon can be found in. If you are new and want to learn how to save using coupons, go here.
