How about spa services valued at $120 for just $29?  The deal comes from LIVING SOCIAL/Orlando, a purchasing site that gives group values/prices when you purchase goods or services through their site.

This is the Micro Spa in the Hunt Club area which offers regular spa services, tanning, even teeth whitening all of which fall into the price category of under $120.  Check it out or buy as a gift!
Details here.

From Groupon, a similar service which I've written about before, comes this deal for the locals:

Get $10 of anything at Boston for just $5.  I can personally vouch for their food, which is not expensive at all, especially breakfast!  Oh, and the coffee is top notch, too.  A great buy at 50% off.  Get details here.

People don't believe me sometimes when I talk about getting free or nearly free items, so I wanted to give some examples from CVS this week. I was using $9 in EB's earned a few weeks ago, so my out of pocket spending was less than $2 and I earned $2 in EB's.


Right Guard and Dry Idea deodorants are B1G1 free in the ad
last month there was a B1G1 coupon in sunday insert (I have six of them)
when combined with the store savings, they are free (not $3.99-$4.99 apiece)
I will get twelve free this week during the sale...

Purex laundry detergent (3-in-1 sheets) $5.99
use $3 MQ from sunday insert
pay $2.99
get $2 in Extra Bucks

Zegerid OTC 14 ct. $9.99
use $3 MQ from sunday insert
pay $6.99
get $7 in Extra Bucks

Blink Tears $7.99
use $1 MQ from sunday insert
pay $6.99
get $7.99 in Extra Bucks

I also picked up 16 toothbrushes today for a total cost of $3.50 finding GUM brand and Reach 4-packs on 75% off clearance (in the oral section) using MQ's on each.

Remember two things—ask for a raincheck if your store is out of the item from the ad and you will get the sale price and EB's whenever they are restocked, even if it's next month; and you can make more than one transaction, using EB's earned in one to pay for the item in the next.

This is a Groupon offer, for $25 off $50 from GAP stores. This is an in-store promotion not available online but is good on clearance and sale items.

If savings at GAP interests you, go here   for more details on how to purchase your certificate of savings.

Note: I went to the site this morning and it was shut down for overload.  If you experience the same thing, keep trying because they expect to be up and running again soon.

Yikes! I cannot believe I went a week without posting, but I was otherwise engaged in a project that kept me away from the computer and the stores.  Here are a few things I wanted to mention:

Get your hands on some newspapers today, because there is another $10 off $20 from Kohls good for ten days.  A few weeks ago, I made some fabulous purchases from clearance in housewares and clothing in preparation for my college-bound son with several of these coupons.  There's more... a 15% off printable coupon that can be used together with the $$$ off coupons, per the cashier I spoke with, the $10 is taken off the top, then 15% is applied to the remainder.  Get your printable coupon here.

Maybelline mascaras are on sale for 40% in Publix today and tomorrow.  You can combine the store coupon from the Green Advantage flyer for $2 off with a $1 MQ available here.

A mascara normally priced at $5.69 is on sale for $3.42, and when you stack the two coupons, you can get it for 42 cents.  There are a few that are even cheaper than that.

With all of the recent sales on Schick Hydro razor for men, you may have purchased one recently.  Did you know there is a rebate available as well?

These are on sale at CVS this week with a reward of $4 EB's and there is a $5 coupon in this past sunday's insert.

Get form and details here.
Thanks www.iheartpublix.com

When you purchase any five products between now and 8/27 from Kellogg's, Keebler, Eggo,  or Sunshine in the same transaction, you can get a $5 Publix gift card in the mail.  You must retain your receipt and mail by 9/3.

Kellogg's Eggo waffles are $2 a box and there was a $1/2 MQ two weeks ago in sunday insert.
Kellogg's Cinnabon cereal is on sale for $1.99 and there is a .75 MQ available here.
(remember to stack with Target coupons if you have them for more savings)
Kellogg's Frosted Mini Wheats will be B1G1 beginning Thursday

Did you get the $10 Kohl's coupon yesterday?  In my inbox today was a 15% printable coupon, and I don't know if these can be used together, but you can try.  Print here.

Heads up!  Big markdowns!

Check your local Target store for 75% clearance.  Today I found mens' dress socks, 3-pair for $1.48, mens' swim suits for $3.48 and boxer shorts, etc.

There's plenty to be found around the perimeter aisles of the store as well.  Happy hunting!

Kohl's has distributed another $10 off any $20 purchase coupon attached to your local newspaper today.

Grab this coupon (and extras if you can) for back to school shopping or just to get terrific deals.  With the last coupon, I spent $11 on some pillows and towels and saved $92 on the retail price because everything I purchased was already on clearance.
