What Now? (Grocery Deals: Week of 3/3)

The "What Now?" posts are a starting place for newbies (like you!), with great store deals using PRINTABLE coupons (and this week's insert coupons) only.  We know your coupon-collection will grow, but in the meantime, here's a list just for YOU!

 Bi-Lo's ad this week is a little bit skimpy, but I'm always happy to see some good meat/chicken prices - so I won't complain! The meal deal at bottom is also a pretty good deal on an easy-peasy supper.

Morning Coffee Tidbits

Good morning Sunshine!  I just had a couple of mood-lifting deals to share with you while we're sitting here sipping our coffee together - you know, just in case you woke up on the wrong side of the bed :)


❤ Clearances: $2.71 Walgreens Diapers & FREE Huggies Pull-Ups
I was just at Walgreens tonight and the W Brand diapers are on clearance for 75% Off!  They're only $2.71 - which is pretty sweet if you're not too picky about your diapers.  I've also seen that Pull-Ups Cool alert are on clearance - using the $2/1 PRINT will make these super cheap.  Buying 3 to get the $5 RR will make them FREE!  Clearance varies by store - let us know if you find them at yours! 

❤ Gap Denim Recycling Event:
Bring in any pair of used denim from now till March 15th, and get 30% Off a new pair of jeans!  The old denim will be recycled into home insulation - so get rid of your acid-wash and old Jenco's for a great discount!  Call ahead to confirm with your local Gap  - Thanks Amanda!

❤ $1 Moneymaker on Oral B Cross-Action Toothbrushes starting Sunday:
Use your $1/1 coupon from the 2/21 P&G to make $1 on these at CVS this week!  

❤ Kmart Super Doubles returns on Easter Sunday:
If you've been awaiting the return of the Super Doubles events, they're coming soon!  Read this post HERE for details.

Changes are coming....

Our little Time2Save Website is growing and growing every day in readership - and with growth comes exciting new changes!  The site is in the process of getting a swell new facelift & overhaul - but you might have noticed a couple things we added in the meantime:


Smartsource Printables now on Sidebar!

 Look over to your left. Now scroooolll down a bit (Under Hot Deals).  See it?  It's our brand-spankin' new Smartsource Button!  Whenever you click on that button to print your Smartsource coupons, you will be helping to support this site and all the coffee, sweat and tears that are poured into it. For every coupon you print off Smartsource or Coupons.com from a link on Time2Save, we earn a few cents - so thank you in advance for supporting us while you get your coupons printed!

Print-Friendly Posts!

If you haven't noticed that little green "PRINT" icon at the bottom of each post - it's a new feature to help you out a bit.  Give it a try, it's not perfect - but it will save you the step of copying & pasting grocery matchups into notepad (or whatever the kids are calling it these days) on your way to printing it.  When you click that button, you'll have the option of deleting portions of the list before sending it to the printer - and that's all there is to know about that!

Free Bruster's Ice Cream UPDATE: Moved to 3/20

UDPATE: Looks like the head office is in Pittsburgh, where they are knee-deep in snow right now. So they've changed their PJ day to March 20th. I went today and they kindly supplied us with free ice cream anyway - thanks Brusters!

 "Pajama Tiii-ime! Pajama Tiii-ime! From your head - to your toes - to your night-time clothes!"

Steve from Blues Clues had it right when he got excited enough to sing about "Pajama Time", because tomorrow morning, showing up at Bruster's Ice Cream in your pajamas will score you a FREE 1-Scoop Waffle Cone!  That's right, it's their annual PJ Day, so go check and see if your local Bruster's is participating HERE.

Last year, this promo coincided with my local Chick-Fil-A's Pajama Day (1st Saturday of the month, wear PJ's & get a free chicken biscuit!) - which meant of course that the kids and I went restaurant hopping in our PJ's and came home fat and happy.  I guess I know what we'll be doing tomorrow!

$2 Wardley Fish Food Coupon = FREE Fish Food!

There is a $2/1 Wardley Fish Food Coupon available HERE right now - and since it's only priced at around $1.50-$2 at Walmart, you'll be able to score some FREE fish food!  Hey, the more free things I can throw in my buggy, the better I feel about having to go into Wal-Mart in the first place....

NOTE: It's also on sale 20% Off at Petco until 3/20 -  I just checked their online circular.

- Thanks, DealSeekingMom!

Date Night Ideas

If you'd like to squeeze in a date night or an evening with friends this weekend - here's a cheap dinner & a movie idea - now grab your gal or your feller and carve out a little time for fun and romance!

The Dinner:

 Go to Restaurant.com & score a variety of $25 Restaurant Gift Cards for only $4!  Use code "MENU" through 3/7 for this offer.  You're certificate will be emailed to your RIGHT AWAY, so you can use it quickly!  There's usually a min. purchase required to use your giftcard (around $35), so think of this as a REALLY good coupon on a nice supper. (They just added Fulin's Cuisine & La Place for Cleveland, TN - hooray!)

The Movie:

Go HERE & sign-up for a Netflix 2-Week FREE Trial.  You'll get 2 weeks of movies delivered to your mailbox - which will make for a few at-home date nights for you and a couple family-movie nights as well!

While you're waiting on your first Netflix arrival, hit up your nearest Redbox & use code "2frz25n3" for a free rental to tide you over (until 3/11)!

FREE Sunchips for Facebook Fans

 I guess it's time to start up a whole sidebar heading for all these Facebook Freebies, huh?  I think I need to go back and do the last 10, as I haven't been at my printer for any of the recent ones.  This new one is a goodie - get a FREE 10.5 oz bag of SunChips when you become their fan on facebook HERE.  Good for the first 10,000, so don't delay!
-Thanks,  MoneySavingMom!

NOTE: It's best to make sure your printer is on and ready, in case this goes straight to printing.

While you're getting your free chips, come on over to the Time2Save facebook page and become a fan!  You'll get to see what everyone is buzzing about and maybe see some familiar faces from your hometown on there!  It's a great way to stay connected to your coupon buddies - see you there!

Earthfare has a new coupon on their site: - PRINT HERE

The coupon is for a FREE 1lb Fresh Roasted Bulk Coffee (Earthfare or Larry's brand) +
a FREE 11.5 oz box of Earthfare Granola with ANY PURCHASE!!

Frugal Family Fun: Cheap Movie Nights

I think we can all agree that living a frugal life is worth the trouble, but making sure your whole family full has fun along the way.....  well, it requires some creative thinking.  Never fear frugal families, we're here to help you out!

Today's "Frugal Family Fun" is all about Movie Night!   Whether it's a family affair, or a date night at home - movie night is a great way to break up the routine a little without spending $50 bucks at the theater.  Here are some fun & cheap ways to bring your family together for the big show:

 (My boys having an Aladdin movie night)

1)  Make it Official!  Set a show time (just like at the theater) for your movie to start, and have everyone meet up in the living room or den at that time.

2)  Set the stage. My kids loooove to make movie posters, movie tickets, and signs that read "This Way!!" or "Snacks", showtimes & more (see above signs on our entertainment center!).  I let the boys tape them all over the house the day of - it makes the whole day more fun! 

3)  Cool Concessions!!  Special snacks make a movie night feel extra special - so go a little overboard once in awhile!  Bust out some of those super snack bargains you got from the drugstore/grocery.  Pop popcorn and put it those cute popcorn holders (DollarSpot at Target or dollar stores).  Pass out juiceboxes.  Or just set out an array of goodies on the coffee table like a concession stand.

4) Get the Movie for FREE!  Yep, you heard me right - free.  There are several ways to get a movie for free, whether using free rental codes, free trials, or just swapping out with a friend for movies you haven't seen. Here's how to save BIG:

★Redbox or Blockbuster Express★

These $1 per night kiosks far undersell traditional movie stores.  Best of all, you can find FREE codes for rentals every couple weeks!  

Current Redbox Free Rental Codes: breakroom, dvdonme, dvdatwag (only at walgreens) &  2frz25n3(Good until 3/11)   

Current Blockbuster Express Free Rental Codes: gt21a (good through 3/12), and gl9ra(good through 3/31)

★Netflix★
Pick out movies online that are mailed to you, then mail them back and pick another.  This is the service we currently use, and we love it - especially since we can even stream movies straight from the tv.  Plans start cheap at just $8.99/month, but the best part about it?  FREE 2-Week TRIALl!  Sign up HERE to get 2 weeks of movies for FREE! 

★Blockbuster Total Access★ 
Pick out movies online that are mailed to you, then mail them back and pick another.  You'll get 4 E-Coupons emailed to you each month for free in-store movie/game rentals (games = happy boys in my house).   Also, 5 times a month you can exchange them in-store, for those gotta-have-it-now nights .  Plans start at $11.99/month.  Best part about this?  FREE 1-MONTH TRIAL!  Just sign up HERE to try it out, use code "freetrial0618m" and you'll get a month of family movie/game nights for FREE. 

★Phone-A-Friend★ 
Our neighbors have only 1 child, and tend to buy him every new movie that comes out.  This is great for us, since we can usually get the hottest titles just by asking to borrow or swap out movies for a night!

 ★Local Library★  

 Your local library probably has a better collection of free movies to borrow than you think - check them out, you might be surprised!  

WARNING: Be SURE to return them by their due date!  My library charges $2/day for late fees, and after paying $14 one time for a movie we kept forgetting, I learned my lesson...
