Ok, so sometimes things that seem to be too good really are! Looks like Walgreens caught on to many people taking advantage of the rolling Register Rewards on the Softsoap deal, so its no longer rolling. You will still get a coupon for a free Softsoap on your first purchase, but not on the 2nd or 3rd, or so on. So bascially, for every one that you actually pay for, you will get a free one. Don't forget about that coupon in Sunday's paper for $.75, making it even a better deal.
Still a great deal!

CiCi's Pizza...you have to check this out!
Ok readers.....who is a fan of CiCi's pizza? Well, I just found out about this promotion going on! They have dropped 1 million pennies in parking lots around their locations around the US. These pennies are marked on the back with prizes (like a free buffet, free drink....and other prizes) But it does say all specially marked pennies that are returned will be donated to Big Brothers and Big Sisters Club of America!
So, keep your heads down and be on the look out for pennies on the ground while around any CiCi's! Click HERE to read more..... (you can put in your zip code and mine told me to look within a 2 mile radius of my CiC's)

The Childrens Place Outlet
Do you have a Childrens Place outlet near you??? If you do, RUN..don't walk, as fast as you can!!!
Yesterday, we were heading for an outdoor family outing when I realized the boys didn't have a hat in the van (any other time we would have 10 different ones in there!) So, we dropped by the outlet to pick up a hat for them....and I saw some great deals on winter clothes. I was really sad that I didn't have time to shop, but I had 2 very anxious 2 year olds waiting in the car for me!
All their winter clothes were on sale for $2.99....you can't even shop consignment prices for that!!!!! Things I saw in the boys dept were: sweaters, hoodie sweatshirts, button ups, nice pants, wind pants, thermal graphic shirts.....all $2.99! Some of these clothes we had this winter and loved them all and they held up great (like their products always do!)
I am going to try to make it back up there this week and do some shopping for next winter.
They also had several of their spring clothes on sale too (not for $2.99, but still on sale)
Let me know if you find any good deals!!!

Shopping at Walgreens
Since some of you are new to this way of shopping, I want to give you some tips on shopping at Walgreens (look for CVS tips this week too!) I would have never thought before I started shopping this way that I could honestly get better deals at a drugstore than Wal-mart! But I do!!!
Walgreens has a program right now called their Easy Saver...I have heard through the grapevine that April is the last month they will have this program. But the news is there is something bigger and better coming!
I don't want to go in to a lot of detail about it since its leaving us, but we do still have one more month to shop with it, so here is a link to read about it on walgreens.com CLICK HERE!
You can find the Easy Saver booklet at the front door of your Walgreens next to their weekly ad. Its a small booklet filled with coupons.
There are 2 differend kind of coupons you will find:
1. IVC (Instant Value Coupon)...these work just like a regular coupon and take the value off immediately. They CAN be combined with a manufacturer coupon as well!!! (like the razor deal last week)
2. Easy Saver Rebate....these are rebates on the listed item. You can submit your rebates on line. You can only do one submission per month, so its best to keep all your rebates together and submit them at one time at the end of the month.
They will also sometimes have coupons in their Sunday sales ad (like the aluminum foil deal this week)and you will need to have the cashier scan this coupon as well as your manufacturer coupon too!
I know this is brief, but if you have any questions, please leave me a comment and I will try to answer!
I am excited to see what Walgreens will come up with to replace this program though.

Awesome deals this week!
I wanted to encourage you all to take a look at your sale ads this week! There are some great deals to be found! I will be posting some deals for Walgreens in a moment. I had a great shop there today!
But first I wanted to tell you that my 2 favorite places to shop are Kroger and CVS. However, I won't be able to share any deals from them for a couple of weeks. I am signed up with a site that you have to pay and they give you the list for the stores of your choice. As long as I am still with that site, I can't share the deals. It was a great way to get me started on learning how to shop the smart way, but now that I have the hang of it, I will be dropping it. Until then, I will say that you all are free to comment HERE with any deals that you find at CVS or Kroger.
I am telling you that CVS is my new best friend! That store has some awesome savings!!!! I will be posting more about how to shop at CVS hopefully this week.
The most important thing to remember is to combine a sale with a coupon! That equals the greatest deal!!!!!!

Homemade cleaner
This one comes from reader, Bethany again! Thanks Bethany for passing along your tips! I'm going to try this one for sure!!
Bethany says:
I will share my recipe for homemade cleaner, if you will pass on your recipe for laundry det! Mine comes from my mom, she is RN and a germ freak! She got this from a nurse practioner a few years ago -- you can use any empty spray container, like a glass cleaner bottle. Take 1/2 cup of ammonia and 2 cups alcohol, you can use the 70% base. Take these two combine in bottle, then fill with water almost full, and add any liquid sink soap, like Ivory - add 1 tsp full into bottle and put spray lid on. Just give it a little shake to combine, and you have a great cleaner that KILLS bacteria and odors. It gives the smell of almost a fresh hospital smell. The smell does quickly disappear , the alcohol is a bit strong, but just think of all the disinfecting its doing! By the way you must add the Ivory soap at the end, due to it will make bubbles if you add it any sooner.
Please feel free to pass this along to your readers, its a really cheap and very efficient way of cleaning. You can use it to clean bathrooms, kitchen counters, messes in the kitchen, grease and stuff. Highchairs, tables..... You can also clean your windows and mirrors with this. Just do not try it on wood! I bought the lemon fresh ammonia at Walgreens, it was like 1.99 for a huge bottle, and the alcohol, buy it a walmart, its about 1.67 for a really tall bottle. Its over where band aids are.
