Charcoal as low as $3.50!






Plan on cooking out this weekend for the football game and Labor day? CVS has a great deal right now on charcoal. The Kingsford charcoal is 50% off which makes them $3.50! I know the CVS on Hwy 43 has this deal, you'll need to check your local CVS to see if they are doing the same. I saw the lighter fluid in the same area of the summer stuff that is 50% off. I would assume it is on sale as well but I'm not sure. I know I will be stocking up as this price is extremely cheap!

Ball Park Singles



If you weren't able to get the $2/1 facebook coupon for the Ball Park franks, then you can go HERE and get a $.75/1 coupon for the Ball Park Singles. This is great to use this week at Publix because they will be B1G1 starting tomorrow! Also, I know that the Northport store on Hwy 82 has tearpads close to the Ball Park hot dogs that state: FREE Sara Lee hot dog buns when you buy 2 packages of Ball Park Franks. You will be able to get 2 packs of hot dogs and a pack of buns for around $2.50! I haven't priced checked it so the price may vary a little but its still a great deal.

Free Museum Day Sept. 25th!



Smithsonian Media will be hosting its annual Museum Day on Saturday, September 25th. Head over HERE to sign up and get your ticket emailed to you. It is one ticket per household and 2 people will get in free! I have included a list of the museums participating in Alabama.

WELCOME!!







Welcome to my new blog!! I am very excited about this. I am a coupon lover and I hope that you are too! This can be a wonderful experience. I even have my boys looking for coupons and everytime they see one "Mom, there's a coupon!!" Even they are learning at a young age to save money.

If you have any questions, you can always contact me.  I will try to help lead you to the right websites to help you save the most money. With Christmas coming up, we could use a little extra money each week to put back to buy all those presents we know we will regret later!
