In my Mailbox

Lately, I have gotten some great stuff in my mailbox:

• Organic Valley Rootstock magazine, $15.50 in coupons and a children's activity book.
• Coupons, recipes, and magnetic shopping list from emailing Filippo Berio Olive Oil.
• Huggies Coupons for being signed up with Huggies Enjoy the Ride Rewards.
• Coupon for Free Energizer Re-chargeable batteries (up to $12.99 value) This was from a Facebook offer.
• Free 20 oz. Coke Coupons from My Coke Rewards.
• 2 coupons for Free Luigi's Italian Ice and 3 coupons for .25 off for emailing them with a compliment!

I believe that you can still get the Organic Valley Coupons and magazine if you go HERE and sign up for their Farm Friends newsletter.  If you would like to sign up for Huggies Enjoy the Ride Rewards, you can do that HERE (if you use a lot of huggies, they have some nice rewards like free diapers and wipes coupons that you can earn).

How to Easily Chop an Onion

Okay, I know that this is very simple, any many of you probably already know how to do this, or how to cut an onion even more efficiently, but for a long time it took me forever to chop up an onion.  So I thought I would share this to maybe help any newbie home cooks out there who want to become more efficient with their veggie prep work.
1.  First you need to trim off both ends of your onion and stand it up on one of the ends.  Then you slice it in half.

 

2.  Now, place the onion down on it's flat sides and cut it into strips lengthwise, while holding it together on each side.

 3.  Now you just cut the onion into strips again going width-wise, and Presto!  You have a chopped onion.  If you want your onion chopped finer, or minced, just cut the strips closer together.

Benadryl Coupon

If you go HERE, you can print off a coupon for $4/2 Benadryl products.  I like these for stocking up on allergy medicine, but you can get the Benadryl itch-relief sticks at both Walmart and Target for around .28-.68 each after this coupon.  You can use your browsers back button to print two copies.

Upcoming Deal at CVS- Free Revlon Nail Polish!

I guess that CVS wants us to have some free Revlon nail polish to go with our free Revlon lipstick from last week.  Starting the week of 10-04 CVS has Revlon nail polish for $3.99 with a $3.00 ECB back.  If you have the $1/1 coupon from the 9-12 S.S. insert, it makes it free after ECB.  This deal is a limit of 6 per card. 

This deal can potentially become a money maker.  Some people are getting CVS coupons at the price scanner machine good for $7 off a $15 beauty purchase.  If you get one of these coupons, don't throw it away.  If you do get this coupon, you will potentially have a $7 Money Maker on your hands if you have the $1/1 coupons that I mentioned above.  Here's how:

Buy 4 Revlon Nail Polish at $3.99 each
Use $7/15 CVS beauty purchase coupon
Use (4) $1/1 coupons from the 9-12 S.S.
Your Subtotal after coupons will only be $4.96 and you will get back $12 in ECB

Don't forget this deal does not start until next week, I just wanted to give you the heads up. 
Unfortunately, when I went to CVS earlier today, I did not get this coupon at the price scanner, I am still hoping I will though by next week.

*We will also see Renew contact lens solution for free after ECB next week!

Rain Checks

I just wanted to remind everyone that if you head out to CVS this week to get the Oral-B rechargeable toothbrushes, or the Reach Flossers and they are not in stock, make sure you ask the cashier to write you a rain-check for them.  CVS rain-checks have no expiration date!  Even though the Reach Flosser ECB deal is not in the ad, as long as there is a tag saying it has an ECB, the cashier will write you a rain-check.  I love getting rain-checks for Free-after-ECB items because then if you happen to get a CVS coupon for $4/20 or $5/15 it makes the deals even sweeter to redeem them then.

Free Kobari Beef at Panda Express
