Sears: $10 off $10 in Juniors DEAD

Target: FREE Kashi Waffles

Target is having a Kashi promotion right now: Buy 5 select products get a $5 Target Gift Card.

The Kashi Heart to Heart waffles are on price roll back at my store making them $1.79. There are $1 peelies on Kashi cereal boxes.

The breakdown:

(5) Kashi Heart to Heart waffles @ $1.79
(5) $1 manufacturer coupons
$3.95 out of pocket

GET BACK $5 Target Gift Card

If you look at it the way I do, you are making out $1.05 by buying the waffles! Even if you don't have the $1 manufacturer coupons, $.79 for a box of Kashi waffles isn't bad either!

P.S. If you'll be going to Target, print out a few coupons for $1/2 Market Pantry cheese products. The individual string cheeses are $.40 at my store. With the coupon, you get 2 for FREE!

Valpak: FREE Rita's Regular Italian Ice

Star Crayons on the Cheap!

Noel and I had decided to make crayons with all the broken crayon pieces we had accumulated over the years. We got the general idea of what we needed to do by Googling "make crayons."

We were going to buy foil cupcake liners at the grocery store and use the cupcake tins that we already had but a trip to our local thrift store, Tabitha's House, gave me a light bulb moment!

For sale at the thrift store were 7 aluminum star-shaped molds. Perfect! Not only were these a fun shape, the stars had edges like a point for easier coloring (versus a round shape from the cupcake tins), AND they were only $1!

With supplies in hand we began our project:

We sprayed the tins with Pam

Placed the crayon bits inside

Placed the crayon-filled tins on an aluminum foil lined cookie sheet

Baked at 300 degrees until the crayons appeared thoroughly melted

Cooled on the front porch until they felt firm

Turned over the tins and the new star crayons fell right out!

While you probably won't be able to complete this project exactly how Noel and I did, the idea is pretty simple, and serves as a fun and cheap activity!

Fiber One 50 Calorie Yogurt: $1 Coupon

Click here to get a $1 off coupon for the new Fiber One 50 Calorie Yogurt. Wait for the stores to have a 2/$4 sale on these and with this coupon you get them for a buck!
