8/30 Hot Coupon Topics

So, it is Wednesday morning, there is no school in Hopkins County today (hooray!), and I am just now sitting down to read my email...from yesterday!  Here's a click through list of all the hot topics from yesterday's coupon-osphere.

• Home Made Simple, Magnetic Activity & Chore List - if you didn't know that I would love these, you just don't know me at all.  I love anything free and printable!  This template doesn't come with a lot of "chores" so you could always elaborate on the idea to fit your families needs!
• Huggies, Play to Win Winnie the Pooh Soundtrack - if you didn't know that I love soundtracks, you just don't know me at all!  I am a proud owner of the Aladdin soundtrack on cassette tape!  Yeah, it's that old.  I can show you the world...of couponing anyway.  Good luck, let me know if you win!
• Haribo Gummy Reset? - if this coupon reset for you, you're doing better than me.  The magic zip code is 62946, but it was still Print Limit Reached for me.  Maybe it ran out again?  I tried clicking the link at the left and it looked like it was going to print, even let me click the coupon and select print, then nothing happened!  I'm guessing that coupon is just gone, baby, gone.
• Money Saving Madness: Free at Target - maybe you'll be near a Target this holiday weekend and can score these four free items!
• Hip2Save partners with Today.com - watch Colin's latest video telling us about the changes to Hip2Save!  I love Colin's videos, they are a must watch.
• MoJo Savings, Burger King Coupon Booklet - did you get a Burger King coupon booklet in your mailbox?  We did and I was happy to see it!  I haven't looked to see what the coupons are for, but I see a lot of BK eating in our future!
• Coupon Geek, Free Brut Deodorant at Dollar General - I checked for this at Dollar General in Hoptown yesterday (I had to be at Fort Campbell for an awards ceremony, hubby received his Purple Heart!) and they did not carry the Brut Deodorant.  Not sure about the Dollar Generals in Hopkins County, there are about 6 locations so you just might get lucky enough to find it!  Kroger has it 10/$10 a lot, so keep an eye on this when you're Krogering.
• Loyal Couponer, Free Dawn at CVS - I checked my P&G from the Owensboro paper and the Dawn coupons are 50-cents off Dawn and 75-cents off Dawn PLUS.  Both Dawn products are 99-cents at CVS through Saturday, so you could get the Dawn PLUS for 24-cents!  I encounter an out-of-stock problem at CVS, unless you're doing the gas deal, I would price match this at Walmart where you're probably going to have better luck finding it on the shelf.  I also checked the online weekly ad for Madisonville and Dawn is on the very first page!
• Coupons, Deals, and More, Extreme Couponing Reality - nothing particularly riveting about this one, anything with "Extreme Couponing" usually catches my eye.  I am a fan of the show.  Blame all the coupon changes on it all day long, and I'll still be a fan.  In my (humble) opinion, the changes needed to be made to coupon policies to keep couponers honest.  Some of the deal makers I have read about were just plain wrong and violated the "spirt" of couponing.  There is a line, albeit a fine line, between using your coupons in the manner they were intended and using them to steal items from the store.  Yep, I said it.  Some couponers bend the rules to the point where it should be considered stealing!  And not in a good way.
• Peebles, 20% off shopping pass - print the shopping pass and use it through September 3rd; plus print the other coupons to save money all September long!  While you're there purchase a Reusable Bag for $5 to benefit Operation Homefront, then receive a $5 off a $25 purchase coupon!
• Krazy Coupon Lady, 25-cent Magic Erasers - if you're near Target this weekend, chances are there'll also be a Home Depot nearby.  Use your Home Made Simple coupon to get Mr. Clean Magic Erasers for a quarter!  Or use the 50-cent coupon in the 8/28 P&G, pay 50-cents.
• Long John Silver's, 2-piece Chicken Tender Basket $3.99 - there's no coupon for this, but that picture just looks yummy!  The meal doesn't include a drink, so I've been  known to hit the drive through and then hit the Dollar Tree for a $1 bottle of soda.  Or, run into Dollar General for a cold bottle of water, just be sure to get it from the milk cooler, it's cheaper than the drink cooler near the register!  Or, if water is free at LJS, just ask for a cup!
• Home Solutions News, coupons - I can't get my password to work this morning, but there are usually several printable coupons from Home Solutions news.  I don't think this recipe for Mac & Cheese would be cheaper than the sale at Food Giant, Market Place, and Sureway, but if you're interested in making it from scratch, this looks pretty yummy.
