I'm slowly going to be doing changes to the blog to make it a little more user friendly. Since this is my first blog and I'm not entirely computer savvy this might take a while. :)
The first change I've made is to add share buttons to the bottom of each post. This will allow you to share individual posts via email, facebook, blogger, ect.
The changes will be gradually coming. Please comment if there is anything specific you would like to see on the blog, I would love any and all suggestions!

Redbox
My family recently switched to Redbox for our DVD rentals. So far we love it. We rarely have to pay for a movie, because it seems like there are always free rental codes available. For those not familiar with Redbox just use the kiosk (at most grocery stores) to select a movie and it is yours until 9 p.m. the next night for only $1.00 (unless you use a free rental code). If you don't return the movie they will charge you another $1 for each day you have the movie. We use Redbox and the library for our rentals and we've been saving a lot of money.
If you want to try Redbox here are some free rental codes:

Target Deals
Today the kiddies and I went to Target in search of some good bargains. We left with more than I planned on! They have baby and toddler (up to 5T) shirts starting at $0.75 and shorts starting at $1.00. My daughter has been saying she wants some more tanks so I was able to get a few for her. My oldest needed a bathing suit cover up, and we got one she loves (Hello Kitty) for only $3.25. My oldest is in the older girl section and they had some great deals there too. And my favorite deal of all was in the shoe department. They had all sizes up to 75% off. My oldest was able to get a pair of shoes she's been eying for only $3.24!
So if your looking for some good back to school clothes or shoes bargains for your kids, you may want to head out to Target. :)
Let me know if you find any great bargains!

Meijers Deal of the Week
This week, this month actually, Meijers has a great deal going on. Purchase $10 worth of Kelloggs, Keebler, or Eggo products get $10 off instantly on 3 Fruit of the Loom items (includes socks, underwear, and undershirts). Your $10 worth of products is before coupons so this can be a great deal.
I purchased 3 boxes of Kellogg's Fruit Snacks and 2 large boxes of Kellogg's Poptarts for a total of $13.00. I used a $1.00 of 2 Fruit Snacks coupon and $1.00 off 2 Poptarts coupon. I also used $4.00 in bottle returns.
I bought 3 6 packs of kids Fruit of the Loom socks at $3.99 each. Total 11.97 (Minus $10.00 instant, 3 packs of socks were only $1.97)!
My total including tax was only $7.97. Of course the bottle returns helped, but this is still a great deal. Especially if you're like me and tend to lose socks all the time, or have children whose feet keep growing!

Snapfish Freebie
Snapfish is offering a free 5x7 Custom Cover photo book to all new customers. The offer expires July 31, 2010. You do have to pay shipping, which is I believe $6.99.
I have ordered these type of books from other sites, and they have turned out great. Unfortunately I'm not a new customer so I can't take advantage of this great offer.

Printable Coupons
One thing that I've recently started doing more of is using internet coupons. I do a quick google search for the coupons I want and about 50% of the time I find what I need.
My example: This week Kroger has Horizon Organic Milk Boxes (3 packs) on sale from $1.99 down from $4.29. Well if you become a member at Horizon's website (for free, and it takes all of 1 minute) you can print several coupons. I printed a .55 cents off 1 3 pack and used it at Kroger, the store I went to doubles up to and including $1.00, so my milk was only 90 cents. Not too bad, especially since I really needed these.
So my tip of the day is, use Google. You can print coupons for exactly the product you want. It's especially nice when looking for some harder to find coupons. I love it for finding coupons on gluten free items, since that is harder to find in newspapers.

Rewards Update
This week has been a good one for online rewards for me. Yesterday I requested a $10 check from Opinion Outpost and ordered a $5 gift certificate from Amazon through Swagbucks (and I'm only 30 points away from another gift certificate from Amazon). I also made a about 300 points on mypoints, which puts me that much closer to my goal.
The rewards add up slowly, but it sure is nice to see some results from just a few minutes of "work."

Sorry for the long absence
So I've been neglecting this blog for a while now. Mostly out of necessity since my computer pretty much died, we moved and didn't have internet for while, ect. Yes, a lot of excuses, but I'm back. And hopefully now that I have a new computer things will go more smoothly. I know there aren't a ton of readers out there, maybe there are none left, but I do plan to be back with the best deals.
