A Word of Caution

As I was planning my Meijer trip last night, I am wanting to do both the Unilever/FREE ham or turkey rebate and the "$5 Great Taste products". In the midst of pulling coupons and looking at the sale flyer and rebate forms, I noticed that both of these rebates require ORIGINAL sales receipts. Now, this simply means I will have to do 2 transactions..no big deal. But had I not noticed, as I have done in the past, I would have not been able to complete one. I would have been very disappointed. So, I thought I would pass this along to my readers so that no one misses this and losses out on a rebate!!

Getting the Mail Can Be Fun!!

Okay, sometimes it's just filled w/ bills. But, other times getting the mail can be fun. Like today, for example, when I got my $60 rebate check from McAfee thru Amazon. That makes my protection for up to 3 computers FREE this year...a bargain I'll take anyday!

3 Different Scenarios for Rebate

For the $5 Rebate I posted about here, I've seen some different scenarios to fulfill this:

#1: At WAGS, buy 5 Armour Vienna sausages on sale this week for $.49 w/in ad cpn.

5 x $.49 = $2.45 - $5 MIR = profit of $2.55

#2: At Kroger, buy 6 Duncan Hines cakes mixes on sale this week for $1 each - two $1/3 cpns = 6/$4 - $5 MIR = profit of $1

#3: At Meijers, buy 6 Duncan Hines brownie mixes on sale 2/$3 - three $1/2 cpns =6/$6 - $5 MIR= 6/$1.

I'm thinking that I will go w/#3, even though it isn't at a profit. I don't like vienna sausages, and I'm pretty stocked up on cake mixes. But, I always need brownie mixes!!

Are We a Christian Nation?

After I heard yesterday that our President stated that we are not a Christian nation, I was greatly bothered. Just a few thoughts that I have had:
1) "One nation under God"...does that not mean anything anymore?
2) This nation was founded by God-fearing, God-worshipping men using Biblical principles. Just go to Washington, DC, and see all the Scripture quotes on and around the various monuments and buildings.
3) If we are not a Christian nation, then why all the hype and promotion for this coming Sunday? What are we celebrating, I ask? It's Easter...it's Resurrection Day! It's the day we celebrate Jesus rising up from the dead. It's not about a bunny or eggs. It's about a Savior!!

** I judge no one. I pray for our leaders that they too will come to the Truth. This is a call for Christians to pray like we've never before.

No Surprises, Unfortunately

Because of Easter, there are NO scheduled coupon inserts this weekend. I kinda figured after the 5 last Sunday, but was hoping anyway. So, take the extra time to organize, clean out, and get prepped for Sunday, April 19!!

Unilever & Free ham or turkey deal

When you buy $40 worth of Unilever products, you can get up to $20 mail-in rebate on a ham or turkey. Now, at first the $40 might seem like a lot. But, when you look at the deals that, say, Meijer is having this week; it doesn't seem it will be too difficult to achieve. Especially after I realized that Breyers is Unilever, as well as Skippy, Bertolli, Knorr, Helmanns, and Country Crock. Of course, Meijers also has the Buy 4, get the 5th free on Unilever health care/beauty products. So, I think this one won't be hard to meet!!(Might just buy it all in ice cream!)
The mail-in form was in this past Sunday's insert.
