It’s that time of year again…..Gift Card Season….
Before I started to compile my list of bonus gift card offers this year, I stumbled across this post from The Review Wire. It’s a great list that includes bonus offers from places like:
Looking for some books for Valentine’s Day? Or just some reading while it’s cold outside? Half Price Books has a 20% off coupon good this weekend (Fri Feb 4th through Mon Feb 7th).
Each store is unique, so if you’ve got several options, check them both out. You’ll probably find great books at both locations. Looking for your local Half Price Books? Check out their store locator.
Do you have a pile of these around your house? I cleaned out my coupon stash and came up with this big pile of coupons that have expired. Here’s a few ideas:
No, I’m not suggesting you use coupons as counterfeit. Let your kids play with the coupons and use them as “money.” Here’s some ideas:
And then there’s the educational angle:
And one of the best things about expired coupons — when you find them laying around the house after the kids go to bed — you can just throw them in the recycling because there will always be more.
The people at Yoplait are helping to fight cancer. Their campaign “Yoplait Save Lids to Save Lives” is running until the end of the year. For every pink lid sent in through December 31, 2010, Yoplait will
donate 10 cents to Susan G. Komen for the Cure® for up to $1.6 million, with a minimum donation of $500,000. Visit YourLidMatters.com for lid collection tips and tools!
And as a special deal, Yoplait is offering my readers a coupon for 50 cents off 4 yogurts. Get your Yoplait Coupon before the supply is gone.
Regular Price: 69 cents * 4 – $1 (my stores double) = $1.76 or $0.44 per yogurt
On Sale: 50 cents * 4 – $1 (my store doubles) = $1 or $0.25 per yogurt!
This is the kind of savings I *love.* Couple a coupon with a sale and reduce your grocery bill.

Looking back at my posts from this summer I can’t believe I didn’t tell you about Kids Bowl Free. We’ve been taking advantage of this ALL summer long. This program is good through the end of August, so there’s still time to sign up and enjoy some free bowling before the kids head back to school.
Here’s how it works:
Seriously…it’s that easy. Each kid can play 2 games fore FREE each and EVERY DAY. You will probably have to pay to rent bowling shoes. Mine charges $2.
We’ve had a great time this summer and hope you can enjoy the last few days of summer bowling for FREE!
Did you know that this week is National Bowling week? Neither did I. And on Saturday (Aug 7th) many participating bowling alleys are trying to break a world’s record for the most games played on a single day. And — they are giving away free games. Check out GoBowling.com for more details and join my family in helping break a world record!
