Best Walgreens Deals 8/5-8/11 - Lots of Freebies, Y'all!

I know I'm a tad late this week, but the Olympics are distracting me. I bring you the good deals from Wags for the week, not exactly lifechanging, but a couple fun ones nonetheless (is that spelled right?) There are tons of freebie RR reward deals, and these are great to roll into multiple transactions in order to keep your OOP to a minumum. Then at the end you can use them on something you may really need, like toilet paper.  I've also included all the Back to School deals.

I'm in a little bit of a hillbilly mood after becoming acquainted with Honey BooBoo Child this morning (Youtube if you don't know who this is), so please overlook any sarcastic southern outbursts that may appear on the blog today.

Frugal Uses for Household Products - Vinegar

I've been trying to think of ways to incorporate more tips for frugal living into TSNPR, and last night while I was mixing up a batch of my world famous multi-purpose cleaner, it hit me - let's discuss how to repurpose normal household products! Now I really like the quote in the above photo, but "doing without" just isn't my style, so if something I already have will "make it do," I consider it a win-win for all. So by utilizing the following tips, I have more money for things like cute clearance dresses at Target! (and amazingly enough, I was able to repurpose an adorable pair of fuscia wedges to accessorize the sexy little white sundress I scored last week for $12.49!)

Now obviously there are a million and five different ideas, so we're just going to start with one or two things around the house today. Like vinegar. I have a million and one tips and tricks for vinegar, so it may well get its very own post today.

Oh, vinegar. You're stinky and cheap and not at all delicious. So what to do with you?

Hair Rinse: Now especially during the summer, when I have to product the heck out of my hair to keep it flat, I find myself regularly having that yucky built-up product feeling. Ew. Well, next time you shampoo, try this: take a small cup of vinegar (I use white or apple cider, whatever is on hand) into the shower with you. Rinse your hair, then shampoo and condition as normal (except maybe a little more thoroughly, to make sure you get rid of the smell.) Clarifying Shampoo, don't let the door hit you on the way out! (unless you get an awesome deal on it, then stockpile away baby!)

Restaurant Deals & Coupons

Y'all know I like to say TGIF in one of two ways - a very lengthy happy hour, or a nice dinner out! You're on your own for the happy hour deals, but here's what I've been able to round up as far as dining out deals:

• Boston Market: $3 off purchase when you sign up or
• $1 off fountain beverage with purchase printable
• Chilis: FREE chips and queso when you sign up
• Macaroni Grill: $5 off any entree printable
• Olive Garden: 3 course meal for 2 - $25 (check your inserts for coupons)
• On the Border: FREE queso or Sopapilla printable
• Red Lobster: $10 off 2 dinner entrees (exp 8/5) printable
• Smokey Bones: $5 off $15 purchase printable

Also, check out Restaurant.com and enter promo code SUMMER1 for huge discounts.

FREE Bath Puff at Walmart!

This is perfect timing, my shower puff is falling apart! EcoTools Poufs are sold at Walmart, ranging in price from 87¢-$1.04 (depends on  your region I suppose). Sign up here and EcoTools will email you a coupon for $1/1 EcoTool product.

I know we're still in the midst of summer (I'm in  GA, no need to remind me!) but now's the time to start wrapping your head around the upcoming Christmas season. A great idea for inexpensive gifts are homemade Spa-themed gift baskets. Between these poufs and the 59¢ Greek soaps at Publix a couple of weeks ago, I'd say I'm off to a great start.

 With deals like this, when December rolls around, all you'll have to do is open your linen closet (or wherever you keep your HBA stockpile) and fill those baskets! So FYI - I'm tagging this and all future great deals with gift potential under the Christmas on a Budget tab - so check back frequently for more ideas!
