Cow Appreciation Day at Chick-fil-A on July 9th

I think this is the best promotion ever.

"Chick-fil-A is issuing a cattle call! On Friday, July 9th, Chick-fil-A restaurants nationwide will celebrate the organization's annual Cow Appreciation Day event by offering a FREE meal to any guest who visits the restaurant fully dressed as a cow!

Guests dressed "head-to-hoof" in cow attire will be rewarded with a free Chick-fil-A meal (breakfast, lunch or dinner). For those "too chicken" to wear full cow costumes, Chick-fil-A will award a complimentary entree to customers partially dressed in cow attire, such as a cow-spotted scarf, purse, hat or other accessory. "

Check out the Chick-fil-A Cow Appreciation Day web site. You can download and print a "starter kit" to instantly turn yourself into a cow.

Check the Restaurant Locator to find the store most convenient for you.

If you haven't shopped at Aldi, or it has been a while:
1. Make sure you have a quarter to unlock a shopping cart. The carts are like luggage carts at the airport. You rent them for a quarter, and you get your quarter back when you return the cart.
2. Take your own bags. Aldi does not provide free bags for your groceries.
3. Aldis now accepts debit cards.
4. Aldis does not accept coupons

If you buy something at Aldi you are not please with, they have a double guarantee. If for any reason, you are not 100% satisfied with any product, they will replace the product AND refund your money. More info HERE.

Coupons in 7/4/10 Post Dispatch

If you are looking for a coupon, the best place to start is one of the coupon data bases - I like Hot Coupon World and A Full Cup.

But, it's frustrating to find a possible coupon, dig through your coupon stash, only to find out the coupon you're looking for was not in the Post-Dispatch.

I've put together a list of actual coupons in the St Louis Post-Dispatch. Thanks to Southern Savers, I'm able to start with a possible list and twink it for what was actually in the Post-Dispatch.

The rebate form is available again HERE. Print it now. Who knows if it will disappear again.

If you didn't pick up Aveeno at CVS last week, you still have time to get in on this rebate.

$10 rebate by mail when you purchase $25 worth of Aveeno products by 7/18/10.

Thanks, CJ!

Menu Plan Monday - Week of 7/5/10

Once again, if it can't be cooked on the grill, it's not on the menu at our house.

It seems like we get in a rut this time of year, but no one in the family seems to care. A piece of grilled meat, salad and fresh fruit seems to keep everyone happy.

Monday: Baby back ribs, potato salad, fresh fruit

Tuesday: Grilled hamburgers, leftover potato salad, fresh fruit

Wednesday: Grilled chicken breasts, garlic mashed potatoes, green salad, fresh fruit

Thursday: BBQ pork sandwiches, green salad, fresh fruit

Friday: Leftovers

Saturday: Chef salads

Sunday: Grilled pork chops, long grain & wild rice, veggie, fresh fruit

Kmart Field Notes 7/4/10

Did anyone stop at Kmart today for the Double Coupon Event?

I stopped at the store in the City around noon. I don't trust Kmart after some of the shenanigans they've pulled, so I stopped at the Customer Service desk to confirm that the store was doubling health and beauty coupons up to $2 this week. The girl at Customer Service knew nothing about it, but she did call someone and confirm they were.

Bloggers everywhere have lists of Kmart coupon match-ups, so I printed a few and took the lists with me to confirm prices. Many of my store's prices were significantly different. It was not uncommon for the prices to be a dollar or two higher, and in one case $7.50 higher! Yes, I checked prices at the scanner. I don't know if stores' prices vary that much, or where the list of prices came from to begin with.

Coupon Preview 7/4/10

Sunday's St Louis Post-Dispatch has One coupon inserts - P&G. And, Parade Magazine has (2) coupons- $2 off Kerasal and $2 off JointFlex

NO $10 off $50 this Thursday at Shop 'n Save.

Some of my Favorite Coupon this week:

• B1G1 Old Spice Fresh Collection anti-perspirant
• B1G1 Febreeze
• $2 off Gillette Body Wash or Deodorant
• $2 off Venus Embrace or Breeze Razors
• $2 off Pampers Cruisers, Swaddlers Sensitive or Extra Protection
• $2 off Tampax Pearl
• $1.50 off any Pampers Diapers or Pants
• $1 off Tide
• .25 off Bounty

Remember: You want multiple coupons to use when a product is at a rock bottom price. When it's a good coupon insert week, I purchase 4 or 5 papers and sometimes acquire more. At first, I thought it was crazy to spend money to save money. But I've always saved much more than my $1 investment.

DEAL$, Dollar Tree and Sam's Club sell the Sunday Post-Dispatch for $1. The early edition is published on Saturday and it includes all the coupon inserts. And, they usually have Sunday papers left on Monday. Find the Deal$ , Dollar Tree or Sam's Club closest to you.

FREE 9" Pizza at Kims Pizza

I was so disappointed when I picked up my Sunday paper today. It looks like the FREE product at Dierbergs is over.

FREE 1 Topping, 9" Pizza at Kims Pizza
7901 S. Broadway, St Louis, MO 63111

I bought my Sunday paper is South City. I have a feeling the Reader Rewards coupon might be regional. If your coupon is different, please leave a comment of what your coupon is and what area of town the Sunday paper is from.

Saved 84% This Week

Once again this week, I hardly shopped at all. My teen aged son has been at camp most of the last three weeks. It's amazing how much less food is consumed in our household when he is gone. I forget what an eating machine a teen aged boy is.

But, I need to get out and shop some this weekend. I haven't bought pork steaks yet, and everyone who is from St Louis knows, you can't celebrate a summer holiday without pork steaks.

CVS

I love CVS. It was so fun to use my B1G1 coupons on the B1G1 Stayfree and M&M's sale without having the cashier even bat an eye. I still haven't reprogrammed my brain from shopping at Walgreens.

Before sales & coupons: $35.28
Spent: $0.01 + $4.99 in ECB's
Saved: $35.27 for 100% savings
And got back $4.50 in ECB's

Weekly Totals
Before sales & coupons: $76.04

Saved: $63.56 for 84% savings

Year to Date Totals
Spent: $1,045.81 ($40 weekly average)
Saved: $3,311.06 ($127 weekly average)

Splurge Funds: $245.58

For those who don't read my blog on a regular basis, my splurge funds are the difference between what I've actually spent and my $50 budget. I use it for those items I never find on sale or that I don't have coupons for.

Lowes 4th of July Paint Rebate

I posted about Home Depot's Paint Rebate last Saturday and not to be outdone Lowe's also is offering a pant rebate over the 4th of July weekend. Find all the details about Lowes' Paint rebate HERE.

$5 off selected 1-gallon size or $20 off selected 5-gallon size paint, primer, and stain via mail-in rebate. Offer valid for paint purchased between 6/30/1- and 7/5/10. No limit per household.

Participating Products

• Olympic Wood Protector
• Olympic Maximum Exterior Stain
• Zinseer Bullseye 123 Primer
• Valspar Ultra Premium Interior and Exterior Paint
• Valspar Duramax
• Vaslapr Signature Hi-Def Colors ($5 rebate only)

NOTE: The last time there was a paint rebate offer, Courtney left a very useful tip in comments. Make sure your cashier scans each can of paint separately. Courtney had a rebate denied because her cashier scanned one can and typed in the number bought. The UPC codes and receipt information did not match, so she didn't receive the rebate on each can.

Thanks, Courtney!
