Lifegate's Holiday baskets for those less fortunate

We want to team up and help Lifegate with their Holiday baskets. We were provided the list of items they are looking for to make up their Holiday baskets. Each week through the holidays, we will peruse the ads and add a comment to the bottom of this post what deals are going on in the stores for the items on the list. First and foremost, here are the items:

Large can fruit
Can corn
Instant mashed potatoes
Can chicken broth
2 lb bag of sugar
Cake mix and frosting
Large can sweet potatoes
Can green beans
Cranberry sauce
Cornbread stuffing mix
Box of tea bags
Envelope of gravy mix

Lifegate will have bags available when it gets closer to the dates they will be collecting, which will be November 7 and 14th.

We hope we can help Lifegate make a difference this Holiday season, as Jesus has made a difference in our lives!

ALERT! Publix Register Rewards policy

Back at the beginning of June, Publix changed their policy to only accept one RR per transaction, instead of multiple. However, many couponers were still able to use multiple. Well, Amanda just came back from Publix and they only allowed her to use one! I know this is a big deal, so I wanted to get this out as soon as possible.

We apologize for the misinformation in the classes!

Printable Target Coupons

Target STORE coupons (so you can stack with manufacturer coupons for even more savings!):

Target Coupons

$1/Glad ForceFlex trash bags
$1.50/GE Light bulb, reveal or reveal CFL
$5/Speedo product purchase of $15+
$1/Shout fabric care product
$3/2 John Frieda hair care products

There are printable man Qs on the John Frieda site to stack!

There was also a man Q in the 5/2 SS for $0.55/1 Shout product that you could stack, but it expires soon - 6/12!

There are more store coupons on the site, these are just the ones I printed out this morning. Remember, some coupons on the Target site are manufacturer coupons. Also, some of the Target store coupons will allow you to print twice, lately the majority will only print once. Bummer, I know.

Happy Savings!

Good Printable Coupons!

Good printable coupons here, especially the popcorn and Pam when it goes BOGO:

ConAgra Coupons

$1/PAM Grilling Spray
$1/Orville Redenbacher's Cheese Flavored Gourmet Popping Corn (3 pk)
$1/5 lb Eagle Mill's Flour

Target: FREE Listerine + $10 Money Maker (after rebate)

I found Listerine Whitening on clearance for $1.98 at Target. Plus, you can use the $2/1 coupon from coupons.com (use zip code 01364) to get this for FREE. If you have any issues, they can adjust the coupon price down to 1.98 to make the coupon go through.

…AND you can sweeten this deal even further by submitting for the rebate offer that is advertised in the June 2010 issue of InStyle magazine (+ other magazines):

purchase ANY Listerine Whitening or Rembrandt product and receive a free $10 prepaid debit card!

Just mail original receipt with the product UPC code circled, and name and address, to:

“Dare to Wear” Gift
PO Box 4938
New York, NY 10185

**Allow 4-6 weeks for shipping. While supplies last, one per household. Purchase of a qualifying product must be made between 5/21/10 and 6/17/10, received by 7/1/10.

I am sending mine off today. It did not ask for the UPC from the product, but since the receipt reflects the numbers from the orange Target clearance sticker, I'm sending in the UPC and the orange sticker just in case. Make sure you include a piece of paper that has your name and address on there.

How awesome is that! Thanks Hip2Save!
