Old Navy Weekly Update...

Since so many of you have been interested in this weekly Old Navy Weekly "Scavenger Hunt" that I posted about here, I thought I would list the locations of the coupons this week to give you a good idea of the kind of places they like to hide them. Currently there are still coupons available, just not the two highest value coupons:

$75/100: Click on the golf ball, then click the club to get it in the hole. After you have hit the ball in the hole, wait for the gopher to come up (keep your mouse over the hole), and click on the gopher.
$50/100: Click the golf ball and then click the club to get it in the hole.
$20/100: Click on the surfer between Wesley and Josh.
$15/75: In the video.
$10/50: Move the blue shirt from item of the week and put it on Enrique.
$5/$50: Answer both of the polls.

$10.00 Six Flags Tickets

Rumor has it that Six Flags is on Twitter, and is running a promotion offering $10.00 tickets!!

You have to follow Six Flags on Twitter here, and then watch their updates. At an unannounced time, they will share a link where you can get tickets for just $10.00!! There is a limit of two per customer. This special deal will only be available for a limited time.

Let us know if you snag any of these!!

Have You Signed Up Yet?

I know I have posted about this before, but I had to remind you...if you have not signed up on the JCPenney mailing list, you really should! Every so often, they will send out a great coupon for $10.00 off of a $10.00 purchase (you just pay tax)!! I just received one last week, and so I went today to see if I could find Father's Day presents for my father and father-in-law (Dad, if you're reading this post, you should stop now...)

This is what I found:

Dockers Leather Wallets

$32.00 each (Regular Price)

$9.99 each(Marked Down on Clearance Rack)

- $2.00 off each(Extra 20% off)

- $5.00 off each ($10.00 coupon)

= $2.99 each!!!

I am so excited about these nice gifts!! Now to put them in their padded envelopes (with the almost free cards I picked up with Kmart's Double Coupons), and get them mailed in time!!

Walmart Clearance

Just wanted to let my "local" readers know about a few clearance racks I came across today at our Iron Mountain, MI Walmart:

*Girls' Underwear - packs of underwear marked down to $2.50-$5.00. ($3-5.00 off the regular price!).

*Women's Pajamas - $1.00 rack (mostly pajama shirts left).

*Men's Clearance - $1.00 shirts and sweaters.

THIS Is Why Coupon-Collecting Is Worth It...

I really think that even if I only collected coupons for these Kmart Double Coupon days, it would be worth it...I made my second trip to Kmart today before the end of the Double Coupon sale, and I am so glad I did!!

This is my favorite deal:

Electrasol Finish Dishwasher Tablets, 32 ct.
$6.99/2 (On Sale for Buy One, Get One Free)
- $4.00 (I had 2 printable coupons here for $1.00 off each, doubled to $2.00 off)
= $1.50 each after coupons and sale!!

Here are a few of the other deals I found:

Dial Liquid Hand Soap
$1.59
- $1.10 ($ .55 coupon doubled)
= $ .49 each after doubled coupon!!

Edge Shaving Gel
$1.99
- $2.00 ($1.00 Printable Coupon Doubled)
= Free after doubled coupon!!

Men's Degree Deodorant
$2.69
- $2.00 ($1.00 coupon doubled)
= $ .69 after doubled coupon!!

Wishbone Italian Dressing
$1.99
- 2.00 ($1.00/2 coupon doubled)
= $ .99 each after doubled coupon!!

Lipton Cold Brew Tea Bags
$1.99
- $1.00 ($ .50 coupon doubled)
= $1.00 after doubled coupon!!

*Then, when my receipt printed out, the Catalina machine printed out a coupon for $3.00 off my next purchase, so I bought two packs of Huggies diapers:

Huggies Diapers - 2 packs
$19.99
- $4.00 ($2.00 coupon doubled)
- $3.00 ($1.50 coupon doubled)
- $3.00 (Store coupon that printed out with my receipt)
= $5.00 each after store coupon and doubled coupons!!

Don't forget! It's another Free Chocolate Friday today! The first 250,000 people to sign-up here will get a coupon for a free single-size package of M&M's, Milky Way, Snickers, 3 Musketeers, Twix, or Dove.

There is a limit of four coupons per household for this promotion.

*I just got one at 2:45pm, so there are still some left today...I have now won three candy bars...only one more allowed for me!

Question For You

*Update: I think that I have fixed the problem for the most part...thank you all for your comments. Let's see how it goes the next couple of days...

I got an e-mail from a reader lately that wanted me to know that the e-mail updates from my blog always arrive in her e-mail the day after they were posted. This is a problem since many of the "deals" I post about are time-sensitive, and are already expired the day after I post them.

I have looked at my settings to try to figure out why this is happening, but have not been able to come up with a solution yet.

In the meantime, I am wondering if this is happening to others of you as well. If it is, could you please leave a comment below (one way or another) so I can know?

Rumor has it that the Old Navy Weekly coupons are going to be updating sometime tonight or in the early hours tomorrow morning...

If you haven't participated in this "much-talked about coupon hunt," it is basically a site that Old Navy has where they "hide" coupons of varying amounts (the best one being a $75.00 off of a $100.00 coupon). They only put a certain number of each coupon out there, and when those are found they are gone! Usually you have to click on things, or move stuff around with your computer mouse to find some (or sometimes even "catch" some!). Let me give you an example: one time you had to use your mouse to "pet" the dog in the picture, then when you did that a parrot flew out of the tree, and if you "caught" the parrot, you got the $75.00 off of a $100.00 coupon!! Crazy!

Good luck! Let me know if you find some!

Coupon for Glad ForceFlex Trash Bags here.

Happy printing!!

Here's a Tip...

Twomuths just left me a comment on one of my posts, that reminded me of a good tidbit of advice:

If for some reason, you can't get a site to work, a coupon to print, etc., try doing it in a different browser. For example, if you are trying to use Internet Explorer, and it doesn't work - try opening it in Firefox. For some reason, certain things work in one and not the other...

Hope that helps some of you!

My K-Mart Shopping Trip

I posted here about how K-Mart is having their Super Double Coupons again this week (up to $2.00 = $4.00 off!). The new limit is 10 coupons per customer, but I have had some people say that their store has told them they are not enforcing that limit...call your store to find out.


Here are some of the great things that I got:


I took a picture of my "prize purchase" - they had these bags of Starbucks Coffee on sale:
$4.49
- $3.00 ($1.50 coupon from Coupons.com)
= $1.49 after doubled coupon!!
* I came back and printed another coupon off...will try to go back before double coupons are done and get another package!

Three Father's Day Cards
$1.99 each
- $4.00 ($2.00 coupons hanging in the card aisle for $2.00/3...they said not to be doubled, so I was just planning on getting $2.00 off, but it actually doubled at the register!!
= $1.99 for three cards!!

St. Ives Face Wash
$1.74 (On Clearance at the end of the aisle from $6.99)
- $2.00 ($1.00 coupon from recent insert doubled)
= Free after doubled coupon!

Balmex
$4.99
- $4.00 ($2.00 coupon from recent home mailer doubled)
= $ .99 after doubled coupon!

Edge Shaving Gel
$1.99
- $1.50 ($ .75 coupon from recent insert doubled)
= $ .49 after doubled coupon!

Huggies Diapers
$9.99
- $4.00 ($2.00 coupon from recent home mailer doubled)
= $5.99 after doubled coupon!!

Trident Gum
$1.19
- $1.50 ($ .75 coupon from recent insert doubled)
= Free after doubled coupon!!

*Plus, they had an aisle of toys on clearance...I try to shop throughout the year for birthday presents, Christmas presents, etc, and I picked up a $15.00 toy for $3.00 - will make a great birthday present!! Note: I try to set a goal of not buying any presents that are not at least 75% off...it doesn't always happen, but by shopping throughout the year, I can do it most of the time!!
