My son’s free Gevalia coffeemaker arrived!

Posted by Darlene - May 18, 2012 - Posted in: Deals, Free Shipping, Free with Purchase, Personal Stuff - Permalink

I’m going to bore you with a funny story. Not funny ha ha, but funny in how my son’s girlfriend read my mind.

I ordered a Gevalia coffeemaker for my son so I could take advantage of that terrific $9.99 deal. I didn’t dare ask him to take a picture when it arrived because he would think that was a very silly request. Just the same, when he let me know he got it, I was going to beg for a picture.

Today I got a notice that I was tagged in a photo. I assumed it was a pic of my granddaughter. I ran to see a pic of my favorite little red-head, but instead I saw a pic of my son’s coffeemaker! My son’s girlfriend must know me pretty well. I didn’t even have to ask!

My son’s new coffeemaker…

My new coffeemaker…

My favorite little red-head…

This Gevalia deal is still available! Get a FREE Coffeemaker when you buy 4 boxes of Gevalia coffee for $9.99 (that’s $9.99 total, so only $2.50 per box!) and FREE shipping!

Start by clicking HERE

Then go ahead and choose your 4 coffee flavors (or tea) and add them to your shopping cart
I found this to be the hardest step because I just could NOT decide! I ended up picking Ugandan African Moon, Abyssianian Mokka, Creme Brulee and Royal Vinter Spice. Don’t worry if you don’t like fancy flavors… they have regular coffee too! I got regular for my son :O)

On the next page you will add your FREE coffeemaker (yippee!)

Then you need to schedule your auto-delivery…
DON’T WORRY! You can cancel before the next shipment. There is NO commitment! I chose 4 weeks to give me plenty of time to cancel (and I already cancelled). After your order arrives you can cancel and you still keep the coffeemaker! You can cancel online or call this number to cancel but wait until after you get your order! 1-800-438-2542

I think on the next page you will see that the $5.95 shipping charge has been subtracted… FREE SHIPPING!
I don’t know how long the free shipping lasts, so don’t drag your feet!

The rest is just a matter of entering your credit card and shipping info. Just make sure you see your 4 boxes of coffee in your order and your free coffemaker and the total should be $9.99!

This makes an awesome gift for Father’s Day, any birthday, a house warming party, or you can even put it away for Christmas!

$1/1 Essential Everyday Shaw’s coupon: a few things you can get for FREE or CHEAP!

Posted by Darlene - May 18, 2012 - Posted in: Almost Free, Coupons, Free with Coupons, Freebies, Shaw's, Store Coupons - Permalink

When I took my very quick walk around Shaw’s tonight, I jotted down some prices of a few Essential Everyday items that you can pick up with your $1/1 Essential Everyday coupon in the new Shaw’s coupon book.

I was hoping to get canned veggies, but they are priced at $.99 and the coupon says minimum $1.00. Just the same, I asked the cashier if she tought it would go through and she said “let’s try it!” and it scanned and it deducted $.99 and not the entire dollar. So, she said I was good to go! I got a FREE can of beets!

Below are some prices, and I will have more as time goes on since the coupon is good through 6/20 :O)Canned veggies, $.99 – Game Ticket Bonus Item!
after the $1 OFF coupon they are FREE (deducts $.99)!

Butter & Garlic croutons, on sale for $1 through Labor Day!
after the $1 OFF coupon they are FREE!

Tomato paste, big 12 oz can, $1.09!
after the $1 OFF coupon you pay $.09!

Ketchup, 24 oz, $1.49 – Game Ticket Bonus Item!
after the $1 OFF coupon you pay $.49!

Dijon mustard, 12 oz, $1.49 – Game Ticket Bonus Item!
after the $1 OFF coupon you pay $.49!

Hot Sauce, $1.59!
after the $1 OFF coupon you pay $.59!

BBQ Sauce, $1.49!
after the $1 OFF coupon you pay $.49!

Pasta, $1.29!
after the $1 OFF coupon you pay $.29!

Spaghetti Sauce, 24 oz, $1.50 – Game Ticket Bonus Item!

If you spot Essential Everyday items that are $1 or a little over (or a penny under), please let me know!

Sanford Shaw’s Alert: Lots of stuff in all the reduced sections!

Posted by Darlene - May 18, 2012 - Posted in: Advice, Shaw's, Store Coupons - Permalink

I just got back from Shaw’s in Sanford and if you happen to be heading out, stop by to check out their reduced sections. I don’t have prices for you because I was in a hurry. Scruffy was in the car and even though it was cool enough for him, he tends to miss me :O)

Refrigerated reduced produce was full and I did see some whole celery stalks for $.99 each and bunches of other stuff. In the reduced produce over by the swinging doors, they had lots of 3 pound bag of apples for $1.25 each, some green, some red. Great for baking! They were in good shape too.

Reduced deli had lots of stuff in it too, but I didn’t study it. Reduced dairy had lots of hald gallons of Over the Moon milk and the ones I checked were $1.69, I think. And I think you can get a $1/1 Over the Moon milk coupon here. They also had Shaw’s cottage cheese and some other things.

I also took down some prices of a few Essential Everyday items that you can pick up with the coupon in the new Shaw’s coupon book. I’ll post that in a bit.

Oh, and there was not a watermelon coupon to be found. I hope some of my local readers got some! I gave one to an elderly couple who was purchasing only a watermelon. They said they had to bring it to a party tomorrow. It was $7.99 but only $4.99 after the coupon. You would have thought I gave them gold! Felt good :O)

Thanks for the head up I Heart the Mart!

I have an idea that I’m tossing around in my head…

Posted by Darlene - May 18, 2012 - Posted in: Advice, Personal Stuff - Permalink

I started my coupon blog in August of last year. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love it. My blog allows me to help others save money the way the bloggers that I followed in the beginning (and still follow) helped me… Chrystie over at I Love to Gossip (mega hugs to CC!), Lynn over at Maven of Savin’, Paul over at I Heart the Mart… and so many more!

I love blogging so much that every day I think of new blogs I’d like to start (crafts, recipes, business, restaurants, etc). Only trouble is, there’s not enough time in the day to go blog crazy. But, I have an idea!

I’d like to start a community blog that YOU can contribute to! I would set up the blog and anyone who is interested could post on it. Don’t know wordpress? It’s easy. I could teach you with an online tutorial! You would be an author on the blog. You would feel like a total big shot! :O)

So far, all I know is the blog would need some sort of theme. I’m thinking Maine. Anyone could post anything as long as it has something to do with Maine. If you live it Maine, you’re in! If you have a business in Maine, that’s perfect! If you have a story about Maine, super cool! I would want a wide variety of posts.

I’m just curious, how many of you would be interested in contributing to a Maine blog? You could advertise your own blog, your facebook page, your business or just post for fun! But, I don’t want it to be all advertisement. You do have to be a little bit interesting, you know what I mean? :O) I want a rockin’ Maine blog!

And if you’ve ever dabbled with the idea of blogging, this would be an excellent way to give it a try! Then if you decide you want your own blog, go for it! You can still contribute to the community blog as a way to keep new traffic coming to your own blog!

This is just an idea at this point… but it’s a serious idea and something I really want to start soon. If you think you might like to contribute to a Maine blog, please leave a comment and let me know. I would want a minimum of 10 contributing writers to start.
