Big Savings on Kids Clothing!

The Children’s Place is having a big sale where they are offering 50% off already reduced prices. There are tons of girls/boys shirts for $2.99-$4.99. I got five items for my kids for a total of $15.77 including shipping and taxes!

Gymboree is also doing their Fall Sale with up to 60% off original prices (hopefully Marci can tell us if the outlet is doing it, too!). There is a 20% off your entire purchase coupon in the November issue of Parenting magazine.

Join Pinecone Research!

I belong to a lot of different survey/research panel companies, but Pinecone Research is my absolute favorite. The only way that you can “sign on” with them is if you find an active banner link or when they have open hiring periods for certain demographics.

They pay $3 per survey (it used to be $5, but $3 isn’t bad), and they also have product tests. You can choose payment via Paypal or a check.

I love working with them! The surveys are quick and easy to do and the product tests are fun. They are definitely my favorite survey company.

Sign up quick….the banner links never stay active for long!

Walgreen’s deals this week

If you need cough syrup: (cold season is upon us, so you might as well stock up)

Buy 2 Robitussin, 1 Dimpetapp. They are $3.99 each this week and you get a $10 RR when you buy 3.

There is a $2/1 printable Robitussin coupon here:
https://robitussin.origindata.com/wyeth/robitussin/index.html

There is a $2/1 printable Dimetapp coupon here:
https://j.ovm1.net/wch1/universalreg/Registration.aspx?reg=true&product=di&c=1496&s=01&p=DIM07001

You end up spending $5.97 but you get a $10 RR.

*If you need Ragu, Skippy peanut butter, or Bertolli, you can “roll” the $10 RR from the cough syrup into that deal. You end up spending about $5, but you get another $5 RR.

(if you have coupons from recent inserts, you will end up spending even less out of pocket)
