If you are like me, you grab a bottle of Tylenol when you have a headache or a bottle of cold medicine when feeling under the weather. Unfortunately, this practice can get costly overtime. If you would like to save money with a few over-the-counter medicine coupons, I have a website for you. It is titled Health Zone 365.
On this website, you will find a number of moneysaving coupons for Motrin, Imodium A-D, Pepcid AC, and Tylenol.

I usually avoid mail-in rebates at all costs. Personally, I like to save money upfront, but I will use them from time to time.
This week, my 5 year old daughter had an ear infection. We had to wait about 10 minutes for her prescriptions at Rite Aid. We walked through a few aisles near the pharmacy. My daughter, an avid Sponge Bob fan, saw a yellow Sponge Bob thermometer. Normally I wouldn’t have bought it because we already have a few traditional thermometers, but I considered it a special treat. It cost $11.99 and I noticed a rebate sign.
So, I return home and look at the receipt. It didn’t say anything about the rebate, so I went to the Rite Aid website and was pleased. These rebates aren’t necessarily mail-in rebates. What you do is register for a free account and enter information from your receipt. It automatically determined I was eligible for the thermometer rebate.
I could have requested my $3 check right away, but after some more browsing I saw that there are many other rebates available. Right now until February 28, 2009 you can buy Wonder Waves Garnier Fructis Shampoo, Conditioner, Mousse, or Hairspray and get it for free (with the $2.99 rebate). There are many other products, but they just give you discounts and not a free product.
I am going back to Rite Aid this week and make use of these other products, enter in my receipt information and request my check. Like I said, I usually avoid mail-in rebates. It is usually because I can never remember to save the barcode or mail-in the form, but I don’t have to with Rite Aid’s current program!

I was playing around with Procter and Gamble’s website today looking for coupons and free product samples, when I learned about their eSaver Program. Unfortunately, I can’t participate, as none of my local stores are involved in the program.
To me, it looks like the AOL ShortCuts program. You can upload coupons to your shopper’s card. I love this idea. I was so disappointed to learn that AOL Shortcuts was not available for my stores and now I am with Procter and Gamble’s program too. Hopefully soon.
I haven’t found a direct link to the program. You can click here. Then, look on the right hand side of the page. There is a blue bar with links inside. You want to click on the “Online Coupons with P&G eSaver,” link. If you already have an account with Procter and Gamble log-in, otherwise you need to create a free account.
As of January 30, 2009, these are the stores participating in the program. They are Carr’s, City Market, Dillons, Dominick’s, Fry’s, Genuardi’s, JC, King Soopers, Kroger, Pavillions, QFC, Ralphs, Randall’s, Safeway, Smith’s, Tom Thumb, and Vons.

I love using coupons. They allow me to save a lot on groceries. Once this blog first got started, I received a comment from a reader urging me to checkout a website called Taylor Town Preview. I did and I have been going back since.
They have a number of features on the website, but look in the middle column under the heading of “Preview Pages.” This page tells you what coupons you will find in your local inserts. I have been monitoring the website for a while now and they are right on. The coupons they have listed are what I find in my newspaper inserts.
Today, I checked out the website and saw there were many coupons listed for this week. So, I ran out to the store. It is Friday, but one of my Friday newspapers has the coupon inserts. It costs .50 cents. I knew there were many good coupons; therefore, I bought two papers. I was glad I did. Many coupons do not expire for at least two months, so I can fit in a couple of shopping trips.
In short, there are 3 easy ways to save money with grocery coupons.
1 – Visit TaylorTownPreview.com to see what coupons you will find in your inserts.
2 – Buy the Friday or Saturday papers with coupons, as they cost less.
3 – If the above mentioned website shows a lot of good coupons, buy two or more papers. You get more coupons.

My daughter loves drinking Juicy Juice and so do I. Unfortunately, I find their price to be high sometimes, so I am always on the lookout for moneysaving coupons. You can occasionally find these coupons in the weekend newspaper, but right now there is a coupon available on the Juicy Juice website. I am not sure about the value or how long this coupon will be available, but you can get the process started by clicking here.
You want to look under the “Savings for You,” section. Also, if you look over, you will see that they have freebies available for registering for a free account.

Personally, I am not the best baker. When it comes to meals, I take the simplest approach. It usually involves a meal coming from a box or something you heat from the freezer. I am the same way with desserts. I never make cookies or cakes from scratch; instead, I buy the boxes or the bags. For me, it is cheaper and a lot easier.
Since we are Christmas shopping on a budget this year, I spent a little bit less on gifts for everyone. As an added bonus, my four year old and I are making sugar cookies for everyone. I purchased a couple 4-pack of foil container with the see through tops from the dollar store. These will hold the cookies.
We bought a few Betty Crocker sugar cookie bagged mixes, a couple tubs of frosting, and we already had sprinkles here. Most grocery stores have these Betty Crocker bagged cookies on sale. They are regularly selling for 3 for $5 around here (about $1.67 a bag). That isn’t bad considering they make almost three dozen cookies and are a lot quicker than cooking from scratch.
Right now, you can find a coupon for .75 cents off 1 bag of Betty Crocker cookies. You can find the coupon at either BettyCrocker.com or EverydaySavings.com. If you wish to add frosting and sprinkles, also look for sales and coupons. In fact, the Betty Crocker frosting tubs I purchased yesterday had coupons right on them! Each container had a .50 cents off coupon. It was $1 for each tub of frosting.
Each bag states the cookies make about 3 dozen. We get about 2 dozen because our cookie cutters are kind of big in size. So, for a total of $8.42, I am able to make gifts for 7 different people! Not to mention by daughter and I have a great time.
