$15 for $30 at The Rib-Eye Steak & Seafood House

The Southwest Times Record has an online "deal finder" in which, if you are signed up, they will send you emails for good deals at local participating merchants. Most of the deals are usually good, but today's deal is REALLY good. It is for a $30 voucher to Rib-Eye Steak & Seafood House for only $15. You can choose to either print the voucher at home for free, or pay about $3.00 to have it mailed to your home address. There are usually limits on how many deals you can buy under a user name.

The Rib-Eye Steakhouse is located on Zero Sreet in Fort Smith, across the street from KFC, in that general area. I have only eaten there one time, and the food was pretty good.

If you're interested in buying this deal or signing up to receive the emails from Southwest Times Record about future deals, go to www.swtimes.com and click the box labeled "Click Here to Sign Up For Cool Deals" inside the "Cool Deals" box at the right side of the screen. You may have to scroll down a little to see the box.

Wow! I'm so far behind on letting anyone know!

Jacque is going to shoot me for not sharing this little diddy sooner!
CV's sale add has and in-store coupon for .99 on Skippy Peanut Butter. Use your Skippy coupon and get it for .24 before taxes =-)
I got three jars yesterday (with my daughter and husband's help) - all for less than $1!
All of the other things in the paper were things I couldn't help but think about what DeAnna has said about going to Price Cutter and getting double coupons. Just makes sense. Besides, Price Cutter will take Internet coupons where CV's won't.
Sorry for getting this out so late! By the way, CV's has sale papers right inside their doors, and the in-store coupon is inside it =-)

Head and Shoulders Shampoo/Conditioner for $2.50 at Walgreen's

Sorry this post comes so late in the week (only a fellow couponer would understand why Tuesday is actually quite late in the week for couponing!) Ha! I finally got to Walgreen's yesterday to try this deal on Head and Shoulders shampoo/conditioner. Most of you readers may have already found this little jewel, but if not, read on:


Head and Shoulders shampoo/conditioner/2-in-1 (14.7) oz on sale: 2 for $8
Minus $2.00 in Register Rewards = 2 for $6
Minus (2) 50-cent coupons from this past Sunday's Proctor & Gamble insert = 2 for $5 ($2.50 each)

I wanted to verify if using a coupon for an item that we must buy to earn Register Rewards would still let us receive the Register Rewards. It did!

FYI - This exact size Head & Shoulders 2-in-1 at Wal-Mart on Zero Street in Ft. Smith is $4.78, a savings of $2.28 per bottle.

Growing Kids Sale

I shopped for the first time at the last sale and outfitted my kids for summer for less than $200 and I got a TON of stuff.  I actually over did it because I kept finding such cute things.  I will consign this year for the first time and am very excited about it!  Hope everyone can check it out, I am sure you will be as hooked as we are once you do.  Here is some info about the sale:


Check out what all the moms are talking about!  The Growing Kids Spring Sale is coming up SOON! 1,500+ River Valley moms sell their gently used children's items, including clothing, shoes, toys, baby equipment, furniture and MORE!  It's your one-stop shopping extravaganza for everything your child needs for the fall and winter seasons...and at BARGAIN prices!  Sale will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Friday & Saturday, Sept 8-10th at Kay Rodgers Park Expo Building. More items added to the sales floor on Friday morning, and Saturday is 1/2 price day! FREE Admission & FREE parking! Don't miss it!!!  www.GrowingKidsSale.com

 

Reasons to Shop

  • Low Prices - Consignors generally price their items between 20-30% of retail - that's a 70-80%+ savings for you! And don't forget half-price day, when many remaining items are 50% off!
  • Quality items - We all know our little ones grow so fast that many items never get touched! Growing Kids makes every effort to only accept quality items without blemishes or excessive wear, so you'll know your selection is exceptional!
  • Large Selection - with hundreds of consignors and 45,000 square feet filled with everything for babies and kids, you'll be sure to find what you're looking for - a ONE-STOP shopping extravaganza!
  • Merchandise Variety - Not only do we accept anything and everything related to kids, you'll find multiples of items and a span of many brands to choose from. We carry sizes newborn to a boys/girls size 20. See below for a more detailed list of what you'll find at Growing Kids!
  • Ease of Shopping - Unlike yard sales, you won't be sorting through boxes or piles of clothing. Our clothing is all hung on clothing racks, separated by gender and size, with matching tags in the same location on each piece, much like you'd find in a retail store!
  • Convenient Hours & Location - Our hours are designed to give everyone a convenient opportunity to shop, including daytime, evening and weekend hours, and admission and parking are FREE!

Here are some GREAT testimonies from our shoppers:

Jacque told me ...


Jacque told me a while back to make sure I walk around a store I am in. They sometimes have clearance items and things on sale that are not in the paper. Boy! am I glad she gave me that advice!
$58.59 value for $12.37 (but I also recieved 2 $5 rewards) So, spent $2 to get almost $60.
The cereal was in the add paper 4/$10, used a $1.25/3, and got the $5 reward. So was like spending .94 per box =-)
The breakfast bars were the same exact deal =-) The coupon only shows cereal but they took it for the bars. Woohoo! and those were NOT advertised in the paper.
Rubbermaid containers were advertised at 2/$5 but they rung up at 1/$1.99. Used my coupon $1/2. Got all 8 containers for $3.
I'm still learning but having a great time doing it. Thank you so much Jacque for all the lessons.
