Facebook Freebies: Ghirardelli Squares and Toms of Maine

Woohoo, I won! Head over to the Ghrardelli Facebook page and nominate someone special who has motivated you. Enter your info and see if you've won! (I JUST did this and was one of the 50k to win, so hopefully you will be too.)

Also, head over to the Toms of Maine Facebook page to request a free sample of their Naturally Dry antiperspirant/deodorant.

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!

FREE Chips and Queso at Chilis!

I heart Chilis. Hands down my favorite chain restaurant. My former coworker BFF Serena and I used to go for lunch, we'd split the Buffalo chicken ranch sandwhich (plain and tossed in honey chipotle) and use this coupon for free chips and queso, it was a fun and cheap lunch - ended up being under $5 each! So now that the coupon is back, make sure to get yours! And while you're at it, ask for some salsa ranch - I introduced that to the mister and now he's hooked!

Shoot, now I'm craving Chilis for lunch.

FREE Snausages Dog Treats at Family Dollar!

Yay, I heart freebies! Family Dollar has their small bags (4.5oz) of Snausages on sale for $1 this week! Use the following coupons to score some free bags for your pups, perfect timing for my muttskies! You can always pricematch at the firey pits of hell Walmart.

• $1/1 Snausages dog snack printable
• $1.50/1 Snausages dog snack printable (Savings Club members only - sign up for free 30 day trial)
• $1.50/1 Snausages dog snack, Facebook printable (share with 3 friends or on your Facebook page)

I HIGHLY recommend price matching these at Walmart - I've NEVER had a good couponing experience at Family Dollar as these employees can't tell their asses from their elbows - instead of adjusting coupons down when their value is higher than the price of the product, they refuse to accept the coupon, even when presented with their own coupon policy. You know it's serious business when I recommend WALMART over them.

So we have an awesome, overage-yielding deal! (someone can't do math today) Kikkoman seasoning packets are currently 99¢ at Publix. You can probably find them for a comparable price at other stores as well to get a great deal.


 We have TWO awesome printables to use for this deal:

$1 off Kikkoman Product printable 

BOGO Kikkoman Product Facebook printable

After you print two copies of the BOGO from their Facebook page, DON'T close the window. It will redirect you to a product page where you can print TWO more.


Anywho, here's the deal, buy two (2) packets, use:

Makes them FREE!


If you're a fan of other Kikkoman products, this will help you get them for super cheap if not completely free. Enjoy!

Update: these packets were 89¢ at Publix in Marietta, this made them an 11¢ moneymaker per set of 2. I bought 15 (did not clear the shelf) and used that overage to cover the 23¢ each I owed for 5 small bottles of soy sauce using same coupons.
