Head to Publix for a great deal on dog food. Don’t have a pet? Donate it to your local animal shelter. Purina One is on sale for $5 for a four pound bag. Head to the Publix website and print out store coupons that will take an extra $3 off each bag. That means you’ll pay just $.50 a pound for dog food. There are lots of flavors to choose from so your doggie won’t get bored. I know I’ll be stocking up!

I scored a bag full of baby food for pennies at Publix. Beech-Nut Stage 2 baby food is on sale, buy one get one free bringing the price down to just $.26 a jar. But I also used these coupons:
* My husband and I both signed up for the Beech-Nut e-newsletter so we could get $1/3 Beech-Nut coupons. They show up in your inbox after you sign up. We each were able to print two.
The coupons we received for signing up for the e-newsletter actually made this a money-maker, but it was such a good price I wanted to take the opportunity to buy more for charity. So I ended up getting 32 jars for $2.32, which equals about $.07 a jar on baby food that would have cost $16.96 had it not been on sale. That’s a savings of about 84%!

My charity purchases for January were down because for half the month my husband and I committed to not spending any money. We called it the Two-Week No Spending Challenge. But before that I managed to pick up a few great deals to donate to a local shelter. I only bought $11.46 worth of items, but I actually earned $1.10 buying it! Here’s what I got at Publix:
2 Bags of Halls Cough Drops: -$.17 each
1 Pack of Dentek Mint Picks: $0
2 2-Packs of Lightbulbs: -$.55 each
1 Box of Whole Wheat Linguine: $.34

No, I don’t have any children but that doesn’t mean I’m not stocking up on free school supplies! So far I’ve picked up paper, tons of pencils, pens, and tape that will all go to help needy children prepare for heading back to class. If you don’t know of an organization in your area collecting school supplies try to connect with a teacher in your area through ILoveSchools.com. Teachers put in requests for their classrooms. Whether you need the school supplies yourself or you know an organization that does, there are plenty of places to get freebies or super cheap school supplies.
CVS
Through Tuesday (tomorrow) you can get free pencils, pens, paper, binders and more.
Walgreens
Through July 25 pick up 2 pocket folders, pencils, poster board and highlighters for $.09 each or packs of pens and pencils, rulers and paper clips for $.19 each. They’ve also got a bunch of other stuff for less than $1.
Publix
This is my grocery store of choice and they’ve got lots of cheap school supplies including crayons that are three for $1. I picked up two packs of mechanical pencils here for free using a Bic coupon I printed off the Internet.
Staples
There are lots of things that are free with Staples Rewards. You won’t get the credit until October according to the ad, but they’re promoting free backpacks, pencils, pens and highlighters.
Have you found more free school supplies? Let me know about it!
