HOT Half Price Krispy Kreme From Groupon

July 22, 2014 By Laurie Leave a Comment

In addition to the great Sam’s Club Groupon offer going on right now, you can also get a fantastic Groupon for many Krispy Kreme stores nationwide! For just $8.50, get 2 dozen Krispy Kreme donuts at participating locations – go HERE and see if the Krispy Kreme in your town is participating.

Here are the options:

$8.50 for two dozen Original Glazed or assorted doughnuts (a $16.98 value)
$19.50 for five dozen Original Glazed or assorted doughnuts (a $42.45 value)

That’s like getting half price Krispy Kreme, and I don’t think I’ve seen this offer before! I looked around and also picked up a $12 gift card to Sweet Frog Ice Cream here in Columbus for $6, and there were several other great Groupon offers available.

Homemade Sprinkler

July 21, 2014 By Laurie Leave a Comment

We tried out making this plastic bottle sprinkler last summer, and it was so easy, lots of fun, and my kids set it up all by themselves! (I hate my kids growing up, but there is definitely something nice about having ones big enough to help out with these projects . . . especially since I’m not all that handy with a drill myself.)

Here’s what you’ll need to get started it if you’d like a little frugal summer fun too:

plastic bottle (we used a 2-liter bottle)
duct tape
hose
drill to make holes in the bottle

Go HERE for great step-by-step instructions ~ it should take you just a few minutes to set up and my kids loved it.

What ideas will be on you summer to do list this year? I’d love to hear them! You can also check out my summer fun board on Pinterest for more summer fun ideas.

July 21, 2014 By Shannon Leave a Comment

Here are the deals in the new Publix ad starting 7/23/14 or 7/24/14, depending on your area. It’s a great ad this week- I’m excited to see BOGO Kellogg’s Cereal, Quilted Nothern, Muellers Pasta, Welch’s Chillers, Peter Pan peanut butter, Edwards pie, Whole Fruit popsicles, I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter, great prices on feminine care products & a ton more! Grab a bunch for your family and one or two to donate to someone in need. To see the full Publix ad here!

Here are a few things to remember before you shop:

To add an item to your printable list just click the square next to the item, and you’ll see your list pop up in the bottom right hand corner of your screen.
The Buy One Get One prices are after the BOGO savings, so if you’re a Florida shopper remember you’ll need to purchase two items to get that price.
Publix doubles manufacturer coupons up to $.50 each day. (Publix does not double any coupons in FL – sorry guys!)
Prices are regional and may vary by store.
As you’re able, grab a bunch of these for your own family and a few to donate to your local food pantry, church or school!
