80% off at Restaurant.com


Click here to visit Restaurant.com. You can see all of the participating restaurants by typing in your zip code, or just search by state. Great if you are planning to travel! You can print out the gift certificate right away or save it for later, but buy now before they sell out!

*You DO NOT need to purchase a $25 gift certificate to get 80% off. Just apply the discount code DISH to your order before you check out and it will discount any amount of gift certificate that you have in your cart.

$10 = $0.60!!
$25 = $2.00
$50 = $4.00

**make sure to look at the conditions for each individual restaurant. I believe all of them require a minimum purchase. It can either be purchasing 2 or more entrees or a certain dollar amount, such as $20.

It's been a while...

I haven't been doing any posts for a couple of weeks because with the warmer weather comes more activities! Which is good, rather than being stuck indoors. But you would think with all this rain, I would be indoors more... I have also started school, so I am not planning on posting much because of that either. Here are my favorite blogs and web sites where I find most of my frugal info:

My latest Albertson's trips!


I made a couple different transactions at Albertson's this last week, thanks to the week-long double coupons in this week's ad! I don't have pictures of the Hefty bags, but I was able to get 5 boxes of Hefty quart-size storage bags for FREE!

I'm not sure how my mom got them, but she got a bunch of coupons for $5 off a $40 purchase with your preferred savings card and I was determined to get my subtotal to just above $40, and with coupons get it down to around $10 so I could use my $10 catalina that I got from a previous promotion and it was due to expire today. I accomplished my goal: my subtotal was $40.11 and after coupons, my new subtotal was $9.14! I actually had to buy a pack of gum as a filler item in order to use the $10 catalina, which is can only be used if your subtotal is equal to or more than the amount of the catalina. So I grabbed a pack of $1.29 gum and after my catalina and tax, I paid $1.85 for the following: 

1 pack of gum
4 Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower cleaner (full price: $4.99 each!)
5 Kraft dressings
1 Heinz ketchup
1 20 oz Pepsi (I was thirsty!)
1 bag Kraft shredded mozarella cheese
2 Kraft Cracker Cuts sliced cheese
0.75 lbs bulk mushrooms
TOTAL SAVED: $54.69!

Next, I did these transactions using double coupons and 1 $3 catalina:
2 boxes Wheat Thins
2 Healthy Choice frozen entrees
1 pack of gum (as filler)
Paid OOP: $1.17
Total saved: $16.26

3 Edge Shave Gels (these were completely free with coupons, I only paid tax)
Paid OOP: $0.31
Total saved: $9.57

All in all, I spent OOP $3.33 and saved $80.52! Not bad...

I still have 2 $3 catalinas that expire on June 7. I've already looked at this week's ad (May 27 - June 2) and so far, I'm not really wanting anything special. So I just might wait until the next week after that to use them. And hopefully we will get some more double coupons if Albertson's really loves us ;)

Remember the Kashi coupons I told you about?

I'm not sure how much the other flavors of Kashi waffles are at Target, but the Honey Oat Kashi waffles are on sale this week for $1.79. I think I remember a couple weeks ago that the other flavors were $2.29 at regular price. I plan to go to Target tomorrow with my $1.50 off coupons to get boxes of waffles for $0.29 - $0.79 a box! 

Click here to see if you can still print off your own coupons.
Well, the sales are over and a new one begins at 6am Wednesday morning, but I was able to really take advantage of the promos and double coupons going on. I made several different transactions to use the doubles & I put everything into the picture and added up my total OOP (out of pocket) paid and my total savings. Savings include: preferred card savings, manufacturer coupons and store coupons (double coupons). 

Bought: 
12 boxes of cereal
3 boxes of Bisquick
3 Green Giant frozen vegetables
2 organic yogurt
2 packages Kraft singles
8 4-packs Yo-plus yogurt
1 milk

OOP: $7.56
Saved: $110.48


Bought:
4 Capri Sun
2 A-1 sauce
2 3-packs Apple juice
10 Yoplait yogurt
3 boxes Special K
22 Kraft bbq sauce
1 Listerine
6 Aveeno lotion
5 Johnson's body wash
1 Johnson's leave-in conditioner
1 Neosporin
1 Band-aids
5  children's Motrin
1 Cascade rinse agent
3 Palmolive dish soap
2 Glad trash bags
2 Clorox bleach
1 Clorox wipes

OOP: $45.57
Saved: $243.79 This is not a misprint! I really did save this much money, plus I still have a $10 catalina from one of the transactions to use on a future purchase! I also could have spent less out of pocket and saved even more money because one of the Albertsons I went to would only take 2 internet printables. So with my doubles, I could have spent about $10 less and saved around $30 more. 

Total OOP: $53.13
Saved: $354.27

I plan to contact Albertson's corporate to ask them about the internet printable coupon policy. I've been told by a few stores that they can only take 2 printable coupons per product. Period. But, I've had other stores take 12 of the same internet printable coupons in a row (for the Kraft bbq sauce). Once I get a clear answer from corporate, I will post their answer on here and plan to print off the email I receive and carry it with me at all times!!!
