Free Spicy Chicken Sandwich for Houston area residents at Chick Fil A on Saturday!

On Saturday, July 3rd, if you live in the greater Houston area, you can enjoy a free Chick Fil A spicy chicken sandwich thanks to the “Red, White, and Spicy” promotion!  All you have to do is come in dressed in red, white, and blue and ask for the promotion between the hours of 11:30 a.m. and 9 p.m.  No purchase necessary.  Limit one sandwich per person while supplies last and valid for dine-in only.  Read the full details of the Red, White, and Spicy promotion here.

I was able to try this sandwich for free a few weeks ago and loved it!  Plus, you can’t beat free lunch!

**NOTE:  I have heard that other locations are participating in this promotion, too, so make sure to check with your location!


Tip of the Day Tuesday: Where to find coupons

One of the most common questions I hear from people who are new to using coupons is “Where can I find coupons?”

Here’s a list of all of the places where I find my coupons!

SUNDAY PAPER ~ One of the most common places to find coupons is in the Sunday paper.  The coupons are usually in the same section as the ads.  You can usually find one or more inserts in the Sunday paper (the exception is on holiday weekends).

There are three main inserts you will find:  Smartsource (abbreviated “SS” on blogs and message boards), Red Plum (abbreviated “RP” on blogs and message boards), and Procter & Gamble (abbreviated “PG” on blogs and message boards).

ONLINE ~ There are a number of printable coupons to be found online.  The print limit on these coupons is typically limited to two per computer.  Here are some popular printable coupon sites:

*Coolsavings.com

*Couponbug.com (you can usually print a second set of the same coupons that are found on coupons.com)

*Coupons.com

Redplum
*Redplum.com

*Smartsource.com

Also be sure to check out the manufacturer’s websites.  Look for a “savings” or “special offers” link.  Many of them offer printable coupons for their products.

COUPON CLIPPING SERVICES ~ Typically, the previews for coupons that will come out in the Sunday paper are available on Wednesday or Thursday.  If there are “hot” coupons for products I use and want to stock up on, I will usually buy multiple coupons from a coupon clipping service.  Most coupon clipping services charge a flat rate of $.05-$.40 per coupon (depending on how popular the coupon is).  Some of them place limits on the number of “like” coupons you can purchase and some of them also require a minimum order.  Most coupon clipping services also charge a shipping and handling fee.

Here are some of the services I have used and been pleased with:


*Collectable Coupons


*My Coupon Hunter ~ This is my favorite coupon clipping service.  She doesn’t have minimum purchase requirements, turn around time is quick, and her communication is great!  She ships from Florida.

The Coupon Clippers
*The Coupon Clippers ~ This was the first coupon clipping service I ever used, but their prices tend to be higher than the other two services and there are minimum order requirements, so I don’t order from them much anymore.

EBAY – eBay is another resource for purchasing multiple coupons.  I usually only do this if there is only one “hot” coupon I’m looking for because then I can purchase multiples (10-20) for $1-$2.  Some of my favorite “sellers” are kalamazooclipper, lisajanet81, dans-katys-coupons, and forever_johnson. If you are buying coupons through a seller on eBay, be sure to check feedback. I typically only buy coupons there with a “Buy it Now” option. Also, make sure you look at the shipping costs.

PRODUCT PACKAGING – Some products have a “peelie” coupon on the outside that can be peeled off and used toward that purchase. Many products also have coupons on the box or inside the box.

BLINKIE MACHINES – Blinkie machines are the machines you will find in stores that have the blinking red light and spit out coupons. Most of the time, these coupons are not store specific!  Typically, though, they cannot be doubled or tripled if your stores double or triple coupons.

TEAR PADS – Tear pads are coupons that are typically found on displays of products in stores. They are sometimes also found on the doors in the refrigerated or frozen foods sections.

ALL YOU MAGAZINE – this magazine is found only at Walmart and contains a number of coupons. The cost at Walmart is $2.49 per issue, but you can usually find subscriptions for $10 for one year or $20 for two years through school fundraisers. This link will tell you how you can get a discounted subscription:

FREE SAMPLES – Each Friday, I post ‘Freebie Friday’ items. Make sure you check the packaging because they usually include coupons with the free sample items.

CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER – Do you have a product that you LOVE and can never seem to find coupons for? Try contacting the manufacturer to tell them how you feel about their product. Most companies have a “contact us” link and you can easily just e-mail them. I have gotten some great (and even free) coupons by doing this. The coupons usually have late expiration dates, too! It only takes a few minutes, but it is so worth it!


TRADING FORUMS – the two I use most often are the forum on Trading Mamas and the forum on Hot Coupon World.

Save 15% at Kohl’s plus earn Kohl’s cash!

Kohl’s is having a “Lowest Prices of the Season Sale” and lots of great items have been marked down.  In addition, there is a printable 15% off your entire purchase shopping pass (valid through 7/5).  You will also get a printable coupon for $5 off your next in store purchase when you sign up for the Kohl’s e-mail list for the first time.

If you are shopping online, you can enter the code LOWEST4U and get an additional 15% off your total purchase (valid through 7/5).  Shipping is free on orders of $75 or more when you use the code SEND2ME at check-out.  You can also get an additional 4% cash back when you shop through Shop at Home (plus a $5 bonus when you sign up for the first time).

You will also earn $10 in Kohl’s cash for every $50 you spend in store or online.

Here are a few deals that I spotted when I was browsing online:

You can start your back to school shopping early by checking out some of the hot clearance deals in kids’ clothing!

This SO Sweet Love girls tee is just $3.20 ($2.72 after the 15% off!)

This Jumping Beans Fire Rescue boys tee is $4.99 ($4.24 after the 15% off)

If you’re in the market for new sheets, these Martex 300 Thread Count Egyptian Cotton Sheet sets are just $29.99 each in full, queen, king, and California king ($25.49 after the 15% discount)

(Thanks Helping the Mommas!)
