Stock up on Free Water

My fridge is stocked with Sobe water. I’ve got close to a dozen different flavors of the refreshing drink and the best part is that I got it all for free. The 20 ounce bottles of Sobe are on sale, buy one get one free, at CVS. You can easily get your hands on buy one get one free coupons by playing the Sobe heads or tails game online. I’ve won lots of coupons and I had my husband play too so we could get even more coupons. When you combine the sale with each coupon you’ll get two bottles free! Regular price a bottle of Sobe will set you back about $1.50 so that’s a great easy deal… especially for summer!

It’s time to stock up on pain reliever! The title of this post isn’t actually accurate because this Ecotrin is better than free. You can actually make $2 on each bottle of it at Walgreens this week. Print off these $2 off coupons for Ecotrin.  You should be able to print it twice. I had three $2 off coupons and the bottles of Ecotrin are on sale for $2 at Walgreens. Plus when you buy them you’ll get $2 in Register Rewards. I had to pay $.12 in tax for each transaction. Make sure you ring them up separately because otherwise you won’t get all of your Register Rewards! I plan to donate mine because I already have plenty of free pain reliever from past transactions. You should have enough free pain reliever to take care of all of your headaches this summer.

A few weeks ago I signed up for an account at HouseParty.com. I applied to host a Di’Giorno Pizza Party and I was selected! They sent me lots of great freebies and coupons to give to my party guests, plus six coupons for free pizza!

It was so fun to go to the grocery store and walk out with $48 worth of food without paying anything! About 20 people ended up coming to the bash.

They all got to try Di’Giorno’s new Pizza and Breadsticks combo packs and everyone seemed to enjoy the free food! I’ll gladly host more parties if it means I don’t have to cook!

Baby Food from Babies "R" Us

Last week I told you how to get free baby food from Babies “R” Us by becoming their fan on Facebook. I was able to get three $5 e-gift certificates through this offer. This weekend I took them in to our local Babies “R” Us and I was able to get a lot of baby food for less than $2. All of this will be sent to Haiti through a donation drive that my church organized. The Gerber two-packs were on sale for $1 each when you buy ten, regularly $1.29 to $1.69. The Revolution Mashups were buy one, get one half off. My total came to $16.73 which meant I only owed $1.73 after my e-gift certificates. Regular price, this baby food would have cost $23.58.

This Formula Would Only Cost You $2

My church is currently collecting items to send to Haiti for earthquake relief efforts. A member of my church has an aunt and uncle who run the Jean Cadet Restavek Foundation which has worked for years to end child slavery in Haiti. They are now setting up a clinic and working to keep the children safe after the earthquake destroyed so many buildings and lives. To aid this foundation’s efforts we are collecting items like blankets, non-perishable food, baby food and baby formula. The items can be dropped of at the Christian publishing house Ambassador International from now until February 5. The offices are located at 427 Wade Hampton Blvd. in Greenville. You can stop by Monday through Friday from 9-5 and Saturday from 10-2.

Today only if you become a fan of Babies R Us on Facebook, you’ll receive a free $5 e-gift card that can also be used in the store. The coupon will be sent to your email inbox after you sign up. It’s good until 2/20, but why not go ahead and use it now to pick up some free baby food or discounted formula to send to Haiti? According to what’s available online you’ll be able to score lots of free food or an 8-pack of formula for just $2 after you use your coupon. It won’t cost you much– or anything at all– and you’ll be helping a great cause!

Total Cost: $0!

My husband and I are a little over halfway complete with our Two-Week No Spending Challenge. Although we spent $10.12 this morning (I needed some cough medicine bad!) that is the only thing we’ve purchased in ten days! On Friday we went on a freebie hunt. It made for a really fun date of seeing what all we could score for free. Here’s a list of what we got:

* 2 Free 2-liters from Bi-Lo using a coupon I got when I completed this survey about my recent visit to Bi-Lo.

* Free movie from Redbox using code “BREAKROOM”

* Free movie from Blockbuster Express using code “GV9TA4″

* Two free Fresco tacos from Taco Bell using printable coupons.

We will finish our challenge as of midnight on Friday night, but we both agree the Two-Week No Spending Challenge has been a great experience!
