Lots of Great Discounts Out This Morning!

I'm headed out the door in a bit with a pretty busy morning, but I wanted to get you informed quick on a few great deals available right now.  Take a look around and see what you find! 

First, CityDeals is having a HUGE sale, and today is the last day!  Discounts up to 90% off, plus free shipping automatically on all orders.  This is a great time to get some fantastic deals to use later!  Watch expiration dates, but think forward to when you'll be eating out, taking a stay-cation, visiting local venues--a little planning now will save you a ton of money then.  Scroll through all the deals!   You might be very surprised at what you'll find!  I'll be snagging the Ellerbeck Mansion certificate good for $75 toward a night for only $18.75!  Somehow I'm going to get away for one night with my husband!  I'm sure I'll find more great options once I look around!  You will too!

City Deals Utah County Clearance
City Deals Davis/Cache/Weber County Clearance

Second, Groupon.com has two great deals today!  One for Utahns, and one for everyone!  Check out the Fat Cats bowling special (a $106 value) which includes two hours of bowling for up to six people, shoe rental for everyone, food and drinks for only $25!  Great Deal!

Another phenomenal offer is for $100 toward photo books from Picaboo for only $25!  You can find this offer by clicking on "Visit other Cities" at the top of the page and choosing Oklahoma City.  Because this is an online offer, anyone can use it! The best part– the value of this Groupon CAN be used toward tax and shipping AND be combined with other offers.  That should apply to the FREE 8.5 x 11 Hardcover Photo Book ($39.95 value) to new customers thru August! All you have to pay is $8.99 for shipping. To get started, go to Picaboo.com, enter your email address and then you’ll be able to start creating your book.   Make sure to use coupon code FREEBK to get your book for only the cost of shipping.  Then you should also be able to use your Groupon certificate to finish off the deal!  Order an extra copy for grandparents!  I've also made these books for our anniversary and they are beautiful! (Thanks Faithful Provisions and Hip 2 Save)

What Can You Get for $24?

What can you get for $24?  How about a shopping cart FULL of groceries?  This cart included eight boxes of cereal, almost ten pounds of beef (london broil and rump roast), cheese, milk, four packages of Oreos, five boxes of granola bars and a ton more!  If you haven't taken the time this week to check out the great sale at Smith's, make sure to do that.  It sounds like the sale will extend for another week, and there are several great websites that can help you make a shopping list and match up coupons.  Check them out:

Shoot over any questions you have, and I'll be happy to get right back to you.  Saving so much can be overwhelming at the beginning, but we can work on small steps together!  Let us all know about your great shopping trips for the week--we'd love to celebrate together!

Do You Have Seafood Receipts from July?

If you have any saved receipts from May 1-July 31st, I just found some expired rebates while shopping.  I'd be happy to share with you!  These beer rebates are from Michelob Ultra and are good for $6 off the purchase of $10 or more of fresh or frozen seafood.  Remember that no other purchase is required in many states (including Utah) so if you have any saved grocery receipts, you can submit this rebate.  It has to be postmarked by Saturday, August 14th, so you'll need to stop by and grab it if you're local.  Just send me a quick email or leave a comment, and we'll connect!

Last Day for $50 in FREE Decor Products!

Today's the last day for our Swag Bucks contest shared here.  We only have SEVEN entries so far, so a great chance to win!  Just get your new Swag Bucks account started, and you'll be eligible to win!  Remember, these are new Swag Bucks accounts started through my links that are eligible.  Can't wait to announce the winner tomorrow morning!
