Fabulous Find at Amazon: Thanks to Swagbucks

I am getting ready to change out some things in my bathroom and the cabinet hardware is one of the things I am SOOOO ready to change. If you don't know, those nifty little knobs can become expensive, especially when the ones I have looked at are between $2.50 and $3.50 EACH and I need NINE of them. I know, I know...that's $31.50 on the high-end not really that expensive but you know me. I am one determined girl who just about refuses to pay full price for anything if I can come up with a legitimate way to get it cheaper without ripping someone else off.

So tell me, how does 97 cents for ALL NINE knobs sound to you???

No kidding, that is exactly what I paid and here is how.

I found some simple but very-similiar-to-what-I-was-looking-for-knobs on Amazon.com for $1.15 each totaling $10.35 plus $5.62 for shipping and handling, for a grand total of $15.97. I recently redeemed 135 of my Swagbucks for (3) $5 Amazon.com e-gift cards, which didn't cost me a dime. So I applied those 3 gift cards to my $15.97 total which left me with a total of 97 cents!!!

If you don't know, Swagbucks.com is a site that you would use just like Google. However, you win swagbucks when you do searches. You don't win every time you do a search but you can win often if you search often. Once you have accumulated points, you can trade them for prizes or entries into other sweepstakes. If you would like to join or would like to find out more information you can click on the Swagbucks button in the top right of my blog.

Happy Searching,

$10 Off Purchase of $50 Gas Card at Publix

With so many great promotions going on at Publix this week, I am finding it necessary to do separate posts for each....

In the sales ad you will find this really GREAT store coupon for $10 off the purchase of a $50 Gas Card, BP or Shell. The coupon is good through July 15th.

Considering it takes about $45 to fill my tank and I like to get Shell gas, this is a deal that I am definitely not going to miss out on. My husband and I set aside a budgeted amount for fuel each week so we will just take that amount and head to Publix this week.

There were 17 cards on the rack at my local Publix today but I asked one of the managers and she told me that they had ordered plenty. Also, you can buy more than one card. She told me that one guy purchased 20!!! Catch is: You will need a coupon for each card you purchase so make sure you grab a handful of sales ads.

(I bet Publix won't have to throw away any ads at the end of this week.)

At the Valdosta Pubix gift cards are located on a large display rack directly in front of customer service but in line with the registers. If you found the clearance table that we talked about earlier this week then just look directly behind it and you will see the tall display rack of gift cards.

Filler' up,

$10 Publix Gift Card with Kraft Purchases

Kraft and Publix have an awesome promotion going on. When you purchase a minimum of $50 from Publix, including a minimum of any 4 different participating Kraft products by 8/9/09, you can receive a $10 Publix gift card. You can do this up to 3 times.

But don't head out the door just yet. This promotion starts 7/13/09 (Monday). Between now and then you need to go to the Kraft site and complete 2 very important steps. One is required to get the rebate and the other well, it just makes sense!

First step is to print the rebate form by clicking HERE.

The second and just as important step is (with rebate form in hand) find coupons on the site for the participating products. I found them for 10 of the products that I know I will use. You view available coupons by clicking HERE, once on the page you will see the coupon link in the box to your right.

I am a weekly Publix shopper so I am hoping since there are 4 weeks in this promotion that I will be able to do this all 3 times. Hey, $30 in FREE gift cards sounds pretty good to me!!

My FREE Glidden Paint Arrived

A neat little package awaited me at my carport door today: My FREE quart of Glidden Paint from The Glidden National Paint Giveaway. That was quick!!

Of course I have already opened the can just to see how beautiful the Deepest Aqua color was and now I am ready to paint, paint, paint. The can states that one quart will cover 300-400 square feet. I have been wanting to do an accent wall in my bedroom so this may be the perfect time.

If you would like more information on requesting your FREE Glidden paint please visit my previous post by clicking HERE.

Clearance at Publix Valdosta: Spongebob, Dora, Serving Pieaces, Hair Care...

If you are a Valdosta resident and a Spongebob fan then head on over to Publix where you can rack-up on some super Spongebob deals. They had Spongebob books, watches, cups, notepads, stickers, and magnets all at reduced prices. I don't remember all the prices but I do remember that the books were 6 for $10.00, that is $1.66 each. You don't have to buy all 6 to get the price.

There were a few Dora the Explorer items also on the clearance table.

They also had some really nice pitchers and glasses on clearance. I got a pretty blue pitcher for $2.50 and four glasses (acrylic material, not glass) for $1.00 each. I am thinking coke floats or lemonade for summer!!

There was also a rack of higher-end hair care products.

The clearance section at the Publix in Valdosta is directly in front of the customer service counter and is next to the first register. If you have any coupons that match up with the clearance items you can use them. Great time to check out your hair care product coupons.

Happy Shopping and Saving!!
