Yoplait Kids Snack Chat + Giveaway!

Hey All! Remember the review and giveaway I did a couple months ago with Yoplait Kids yogurt? You can check it out HERE and see who the winner was HERE!

Below is a brief webisode called the Yoplait Kids Snack Chat series where Christine, from the blog Mamas Boy and her pre-schooler J.D. practice good snacking habits, as she discusses topics like overcoming pickiness and setting a good example at snack time.



This is a series of eight webisodes and you can find the rest of them HERE on YouTube!

You can also still get a coupon for $.50 off your next purchase of Yoplait Kids yogurt HERE!

Do you remember when I picked the winner of the giveaway that there was a surpise bonus giveaway of 20 VIP coupons for FREE yogurt? Well I have been informed that there are still a few of these coupons available! Just enter your mailing nformation below and a coupon for a free 4-pack of yogurt will come to your door! I had a friend sign up for one of the coupons and her's came within a few weeks so get yours now while you can!




Disclosure: Yoplait through MyBlogSpark has sponsored these posts and giveaways. I will be receiving an additional 10 VIP coupons for Yoplait Kids yogurt for this post courtesy of Yoplait through MyBlogSpark. I will most likely use a couple for my daughter and give some to my other mommy friends so they can try out the yogurt too! Thank you!

Safeway: Crazy Kellogg's Cereal Deal!

There is a crazy deal on Kellogg's cereal going on at Safeway through 6/21/11. Actually the Safeway part of it isn't that crazy but you get to double dip for a couple of different rebates once you get home!

Safeway Promo: Buy any 5 participating Kellogg's cereals (Rasin Bran or Rice Krispies; $2.49 each) and get a free movie ticket (up to $12 value). Limit 1 movie ticket per transaction.

Cars 2 Promo: Buy boxes with the Cars 2 codes inside (Looks like the Rice Krispies are the only ones with these codes.) and you can mail in 4 codes + reciepts to get a $5 prepaid gift card!

Kellogg's Cereal Rebate: Mail in 10 UPC's along with form and receive a $10 prepaid gift card; no reciept needed and you can submit up to 5 times per household!

Coupons available to match with the promo:
$1.00 off any 3 Kellogg's Cereals from 5/28 and 6/12 SS inserts
$1.00 off 2 Rice Krispies Printables
$.70 off 1 Rasin Bran Printables (Can print 2 times per computer)
Look for peelies on other Kellogg's cereals for $1.00 off fresh fruit wyb 2 cereals you can combine these for a better deal!

What I did:
I separated my purchase into 2 separate transactions.

Transaction #1:
3 Boxes of Rice Krispies with Cars 2 codes
2 Boxes of Rasin Bran
1 9.9 oz. bag of Pretzel M&M's
Sub-Total: $15.45
- used $1.00 off 3 Kellogg's cereals coupon
- used $1.00 off 2 Rasin Bran coupon
- used FREE M&M's wyb 2 boxes of Rice Krispies coupon from a while back.
Final Price OOP: $10.45 - received 1 free movie ticket worth $12!

Transaction #2: Exactly the same as #1 and received my 2nd movie ticket! We plan to take Naomi out to see Cars 2 when it comes out next week so it will now be a fun and FREE outing for our family!

Now I am going to use my reciepts and Cars 2 promo codes to mail in for my free $5 gift card and then I am going to send in all 10 UPC's from the boxes to get an additional $10 gift card! If I had purchased 8 boxes of Rice Krispies then I would have qualified for 2 of the $5 Cars 2 gift cards but my coupons didn't work out for buying 8 Rice Krispies. I can still collect codes from other products though and get another one!

My Albertsons Run Today {6/14/11}

I meant to get to Albertsons yesterday and then post my doubler deals last night but unfortunately I just didn't have the energy to make a grocery run last night! If you haven't used your doublers from Sunday's paper yet, they are good through the end of today!

There is an awesome scenario for Oscar Meyer Deli Fresh Lunch Meat that I wanted to make sure I got. Basically 5 tubs of lunchmeat for $1.39 each - regularly $5.69 each!

Buy 5 Deli Fresh tubs - $3.99 each, Sub-total: $19.95
- Buy 5, Save $5 promo (-$5)
- use (2) $1.00/2 coupons - I had some printables that are NLA but there is a new coupon booklet available at Albertsons that has a $1/2 coupon for OM lunch meat inside, these are free for the taking so pick up 2 and use both coupons. It's a yellow book, ask customer service where to find them in your store!
- use (2) "Twice the Value" Doublers (-$2)
Pay $10.95 OOP, Receive a Catalina for $4 OYNO!

Since Catalinas are as good as cash at your next transaction you basically pay $6.95 for all 4 tubs!

The catalina deal runs through 7/10 but this particular sale ends tonight. (6/14)

1 Weber Marinade Packet - $1
1 6 Pack Danino Kids Yogurt - $2.49

Cascade 24 Hour Challenge {GIVEAWAY!}

A few days ago, P&G through My Blog Spark sent me a gift pack complete with a new casserole dish and sample 3 pack of Cascade's Complete Action Pacs to try out their 24 Hour Challenge!

My instructions:
1. Bake a cobbler and enjoy it.
2. Leave the empty/unrinsed dish out for 24 hours.
3. Without rinsing, put the dish in the dishwasher with Cascade Complete.

I used my recipe for Blackberry Peach Cobbler from last summer. I got a pack of organic berries for only $2 last week and then used a bag of frozen peaches as well. It was delicious!!

I had to keep my empty dish in the oven overnight and throughout the next day so I didn't have to look at it because it drives me crazy to not clean or at least soak a dish that's sitting out! This is what my new baking dish looked like 24 hours later.

Popped it in the dishwasher with one of these babies! I hate running a whole load for just one dish so I had a full washer as well I might add.

Voila! My pretty white baking dish came out pretty and white with no residue! The 24 Hour Challenge was a sucess!

You can get a 3 pack of Cascade Complete Action Pacs at Walmart right now for only $.97. I actually had a coupon from P&G for $1.00 off any Cascade product with me so I ended up making $.03 for buying a pack last week! The June P&G coupon insert has a coupon for $.25 off Cascade which would make them only $.72 to try out.

Fred Meyer: Cheap Vitamins & More!

Hi Everyone! Sorry it's been a whirlwind couple of weeks around here so I haven't had much time for couponing or blogging. We are in the home stretch of the pregnancy and now that I am passed 34 weeks I can't travel anymore so we are going to slow down and try to enjoy this last few weeks as a family of 3!

I started the week off with a trip to Fred Meyer; Naomi got to go spend her free hour in the Playland and I got a few great deals!

Here are a few highlights:

Organic Berries (Raspberries & Blackberries) - 2 for $5

- used 2 $.50/1 printables

Paid $2 each, not an excellent price but I needed fresh berries for a blogging assignment I have coming up this week! Stay tuned, there's a new giveaway involved!!

Marcal Small Steps TP - 12 Double Rolls - on sale $3.99

- used $1.00 off 1 coupon from the 5/22 RP insert

Final Price: $2.99 - never tried this brand before but for so cheap (under $.25/double roll) we'll see how we like it. I like that it's made of recycled materials.

Deal of the Day: 2 Bottles of NatureMade Vitamin D (90 ct.) - $5.29 each

- used (2) $5.00 off 1 coupons found next to the vitamins!

Final Price: $.29 each! This is a HOT deal since you don't have to find the coupons, they are in the aisle next to the product! There were several varieties available for under $6!

Ore-Ida Sweet Potato Fries - $3.69

- used coupon for a free bag product from previous FB offer, sorry NLA

Final Price: Free!!

Pampers Diapers Jumbo Pack - $8.99

- used $5.00 off catalina from a previous Albertsons promo (Love that I can use Catalinas from other stores at Fred Meyer with no problems!!)

Final Price: $3.99 - stocking up on diapers when we can for the new baby!!

Frigo String Cheese - $3.99

- used $1 off 1 Catalina found in coupon exchange bin

Final Price: $2.99 - not great but craving string cheese this week!

Couple of clearance finds: $.99 can of Artichoke hearts, $4.19 for pre-marinated turkey tenderloin.

Organic Grapes - $2.98/lb - wasn't the best deal since I forgot to weigh the bag before buying them and it ended up being over $7 for grapes! Eek!

Bananas - on sale for $.64/lb.
