God and Counttry Family Festival

Ok....I'm back for my trip!! I wanted to tell you guys about a great local event to mark on your calenders. This Wednesday, July 1 at the Idaho Center, will be the 43rd annual God and Country Family Festival. This is a great FREE family friendly way to spend time together while celebrating this wonderful country that we are blessed to live in. We go every year! There is great music performed by local and nationally known artists, lots of great activities for the kids and the evening end with an amazing fireworks display set to wonderful music. Gates open at 5:00 and the performances start at 6:00. We usually just take a bunch of blankets (last year they would not let you bring in chairs) and some card games and sit on the grass enjoying the music and our family while we wait for the fireworks. This is a great way to kick off the 4th of July weekend! To learn more go here. I hope to see you there!!

Idaho Stateman Subscription

I could not pass this deal up! I just read this post on Discount Queens and it is a great deal! This is what they said,

"I just got word from my friend Rock, at the Idaho Statesman, that the weekly subscription rate has been reduced. For a $1/week you can purchase a weekday AND Sunday/Holiday subscription! That's right, a full week subscription is the same price as a Sunday only subscription. This means you can get those Wednesday adds with the extra doublers along with your Sunday's. Also you will receive a free Bronco Magic hardcover book ($40 value) along with your subscription (fathers day gift?).
Rock will be at the Fairview/Meridian Albertsons this week through Saturday.
*Remember* - Rock WILL HOOK YOU UP. He let's me know his location every week so I can go get extra coupon inserts and doublers from him. Just tell him Discount Queens sent you and he specifically said he would save extra coupons for you guys.
Rock did mention he did not know how long this offer would last (probably through the end of June) so go get a subscription soon if you are interested. "

This is a great deal so act fast!!

Thanks Discount Queens!!

NO DOUBLES at Kmart

Ok so I have been very out of the loop with my move this weekend and I am so sorry! I was just looking on Krazy Coupon Lady and they are reporting that Kmart is not doubling this week. This is completely different from what was being reported earlier this week from people that had spoken to corporate directly. So those of us in Idaho are missing out, but there are still alot of other areas that can go have some fun! If you want some match ups go here to see the list from Hip2Save.

Kmart is Doubling next week!!!

Ok, so I am a little slow on getting this posted, but I have a good reason! I am moving tomorrow and have been busy packing and cleaning! Anyway! Kmart will be doubling this next week which is always fun because they double up to $2.00 and you don't have to have any double coupons like Albertsons! The bad part is that they are notorious for having very little on hand so things go pretty fast, so go early and check back often. My Boise store usually gets shipments on Thurs, just ask your local store when they get theirs. As far as participation I have heard that all southern Idaho stores will be, but it is always a good idea to call ahead (or check Sundays ad) Here is also a great link, if you read the comments a lot of people from around the country have posted if their stores are doing it. Also Hip2Save is my favorite place to find some good match ups, just in case I don't get around to posting any since I will be unpacking! So start clipping & printing those coupons and have some fun! I have got to get back to packing!

Crazy Good Clearance at Walmart!

For those of you who live in the Boise area, you are in luck! The Walmart on Glenwood and State is remodeling and they have some crazy good clearance deals going on! I got everything in the picture for only $33.65! I won't go into all the details but I will say:

• All of the clothes I got were only $1 each, they had about 5 $1 racks and lots of other $3 & $5 racks.
• They had tons of clearance items in the room at the front of the store (where they usually have Bronco gear) It was like a treasure hunt!
• The body washes were all only $1 and I had coupons for them too so I got them for FREE!
• The High School Musical game (DVD game) was ony $1!
• The Highschool Musical Barbie was only $5!
• All the candy was only $0.25, some were even only $0.10!
• I got the only pack of diapers ( I am expecting!) for only $5!

So if you are in the area it is worth the trip, they had so much stuff and a large variety from every dept! The tip the guy gave me while I was there is that they usually mark clearance down at the first of the month, so even if you arent in the area dont forget to check your local Walmart Clearance!

Free Root Beer Floats at Sonic!

Don't forget to head on over to Sonic tomorrow night (Wed. June 3) after 8pm to get your free rootbeer floats! Call ahead to check for participation!

  I am a follower! I would love to win this giveaway! My poor coupons are in desperate need of an Extreme Makeover: Coupon Edition. They are a great bunch of peelies, blinkies, printed & paper coupons that have been living in a small plastic accordian file separated by 6 plastic tabs. Each coupon deserves its own space but there is just no money... The "door" to their file fell off and it will no longer close so these poor coupons are hanging on for dear life trying not to fall out. In fact, many times they are left in the car for fear they would be lost, so they are not used to their full potential. Many of these coupons expire soon; please help them before it is too late!

  It is with great humility and honor that I accept the awarding of this prestigious tool of wonder and delight! To think that by mere genetic association I am worthy of this honorarium is a wonder and an obvious acknowledgement of my efforts to be one with the "wonderful world of coupons." It was from the deepest circumstances that I embarked on this most resplendent pathway of savings and it is certainly not without its setbacks and perils; from unhonored coupons to a disappointing lack of doubles, I have fought for and found the greatest satisfaction in saving money, time, effort and at this point, what can I say, but that I too, am "hooked on savings!"Thank you, my mentor and sister, for your consideration, love, charity, counsel and this coupon binder of many colors! Peace out, YO! and I better win! ;^D

I would love to hear your suggestions for future drawings! Please leave a comment if you have any ideas!
