ShopRite List for 5/16-5/22

The weekly list has returned! This time, my goal is to provide good deals and also deals that you can use internet printable coupons for from now on because I know most of you aren't interested in clipping coupons and saving them from your Sunday papers (even though you should!) lol

This week go to Shoprite for:
Free - San Giorgio QUICK COOK Pasta 3/$3 MB3 - use 3 50c/1 IP which doubles
--**Note**: I have an extra coupon that can be mailed asap since you will need 3 coupons to do this deal (you could also use 2 different computers and email addresses if you have access to that as well)
$0.17 - Each WYB 3 Stonyfield 6oz yogurts $1.50 for 3- use 1 50c/3 IP (register w/website to get coupon) which doubles
$0.29 - Heluva Good Dips $1.29-50c/1 IP which doubles
$0.99 - Heluva Good Cheddars $1.99-50c/1  IP which doubles
$0.99 - Smart Balance Eggs-$1.99-use 1 50c/1 IP which doubles
$0.99 - Real Goodness lactose-free milk half gal. - $1.99 - $1/1 IP
$1.49 - Strawberries, 1lb -- no coupons required, just an awesome sale! :)


Also, if you shop here often enough, try this deal to get a coupons for $3 off your next order:
Buy (4) Shake 'N Bake @ $1.79 each - (4) .75/1 IP's = $1.16 pay up front and get $3 in Shoprite money back! This is like making $1.84. Again, I can mail coupons if you need me to!

Earn money using Swagbucks!

Early last year we posted a feature on using Swagbucks. Swagbucks is a great way to earn money simply by searching, which we all do every day anyway. The basic premise is that every search you do has the potential to earn you Swagbucks. 45 swagbucks can get you $5 in Amazon cash. You can also get swagbucks for shopping through the swagbucks site as well, but Ebates is a better site for that in my opinion.

Last year's post is here for those interested. It contains a technical guide for setting Swagbucks as your default search engine in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, and Chrome. Unfortunately, it doesn't really work in Safari.

How was everyone's new year?

Last Minute (Frugal) Decorating!

For some reason, decorating always seems to be the last thing we thing of at my house around the holidays. We're so busy shopping for presents, attending gatherings, and baking the days away that we don't give it a second thought until VOOM! it's the week before Christmas and we need to decorate!

This year I collaborated with my mom on a fab, frugal, and earth-friendly way to decorate with pine cones. Begin by collecting pine cones from a logical spot (say under a pine tree...?) until you have what is necessary. Make sure that you get an assortment of sizes. When you're ready, cover baking trays with foil and spread pine cones in a single/double layer. Simply bake at 200F for 30-45 minutes to dry the sap/kill insects and let cool.

I recommend using them naturally, either filling vases/bowls with a combination of pine cones and colorful ornaments or using any thread/ribbon you might have handy to create new ornaments. If you want to get crafty, maybe get out the spray paint or try one of the ideas that can be found here. The benefit of leaving them in their natural state is that they make great fire-starters for a cozy night around the fireplace! Or just toss into the woods--no pain of trying to store decorations til next year!

Merry Christmas!
