Where are the deals?
I know you've probably been wondering where the deals are lately? Well we just had a baby so we're trying to get back into the swing of things, but hopefully we'll be bringing tons of new baby deals on things like diapers (pampers, huggies, target), baby clothes, baby food (gerber, earth's best) Thanks everybody and stay tuned for more baby deals.

Free Arby's
If you haven't been to Arby's lately, you need to go and fill out the survey on the back of the receipt. Once you do, you get a 4 digit # to validate the ticket. You then have the option of a free regular roast beef or beef n' cheddar with no purchase necessary. From then on you can essentially continue this pattern and have unlimited free sandwiches. Just be careful to take the survey in time and use the free sandwich before it expires.

Red Robin free stuff for July 3-6
Just a quick heads up that Red Robin is offering a free option July 3-6. If you buy a burger you can either get a free mint brownie shake or a free peachberry fruit cooler. You don't need to do anything if you already have the Red Royalty card, it will automatically be loaded. I'm guessing you can also just go the restaurant and get one while you're there and they'll give you the free deal. Be sure to check out more here http://www.redrobin.com

80% off Resturants.com deal

Visit Resturants.com and enter your zip code. Find 9 South Char Grill and select "$25 Gift Certificate; Your Price $10". Add it to your cart and check out using the 80% coupon code "FLAG". It will cost you $2 total. After your purchase, you'll be instantly able to print a $25 gift certificate to 9 South Char Grill.
Ryan and I tried this a few weeks ago and it was really fun! Keep in mind when you visit the restaurant you will be required to purchase $35 worth of food. "Well, if we have to" we said;) We got an appetizer, Ryan got a drink, we each ordered higher-priced entrees, and we also got dessert. Wow. Our total was just about $36, so minus the $25 GC (and plus the $2 to buy the GC), we got waaaay too much food for $13.
The coupon also states that 18% gratuity will be added to the pre-discounted bill amount, although they didn't actually add it in when we visited. Still, a great night for under $20...and lots of left overs:)
There are other restaurants you can order gift certificates to as well, but each has it's own special requirements. This one seemed like the best one to me-- the code is good through May 31st.

5 Tacos for $5

or, depending on your celebration plans, happy "Cinco de Mustache".
Enjoy 5 soft tacos for $5 (or 5 crisp meats) at Amigos today. Or if soft tacos aren't your fav (I don't why they wouldn't be!), you can visit their website for some downloadable coupons and to see the daily deals.
Funny story: I once called Amigos to find out the nutrition information for the cheese sauce and ranch (I was wondering which was the better of the two evils). The woman I talked to said, "Oh, I don't know, but I bet it's BAD".
Yes, on second thought, it's probably better I don't know.
5 tacos for $5 at Taco Johns too!
P.S. If you can buy AND eat 5 soft tacos yourself, you may need to visit AAA: Amigos Addicts Anonymous

Unlimited Free Rt 44 drinks at Sonic
I'm a big fan of recurring deals, and here's one that I'm going to run with for a while. Sonic is one of my favorite summertime food joints. It's great to sit outside or in your car on a summer night and enjoy some great food and hang out. Currently Sonic prints a survey option on the bottom of their receipts. When you take the survey you get a free Rt 44 size drink (cherry limeade thank you). I plan on keeping this deal rolling all thru the summer!
When my friend Tim and I go fishing we like to try and go on Tuesday's so we can do the 5 burgers for $5 deal, now i'll be adding a free RT 44 drink to it!!
I'm really glad summer is back.

Hy-Vee 2 Day Sale This Weekend

If you can brave the crowds this weekend you might want to head to Hy-Vee for their next two-day sale. I know, I know, the last ones haven't been too exciting. But the commercial I saw tonight did say it was the best sale yet! Unbelievable prices! You won't want to miss it! So, I'm hoping they really mean it:) The actual sales are still a mystery, but their website does say it will include Cheerios, Hy-Vee milk, Ruffles potato chips, Rold Gold Pretzels or Munchies and Cottonelle bath tissue. They are also promising to hand out "customer appreciation" coupon booklets. Hmm, very intriguing. Guess we'll have to check out the details tomorrow!

Free $25 Gift Card with Kia Sorrento Test Drive
So this saturday I was able to test drive a Kia Sorrento. It wasn't really a vehicle I was too interested in, although their super bowl ad was great, and I still get a kick out of watching it.
By March 31st you need to test drive a Kia Sorrento and they'll give you a $25 prepaid Visa card. This is a great deal, although if you end up buying one, the savings won't be as good.... It really was a nice SUV, had a lot of features I liked and drove real nice, and you could actually turn the thing sharp unlike most SUV's.
You can download the form you'll need to take to the dealership here http://2011sorentotestdriveoffer.cloudapp.net/
Enjoy!

5% apple discount
I realize this isn't a door-buster sale, but I think it's a great thing to know about. Typically I go the route of using shopdiscover.com for an extra 2% off when i buy a new mac. So the other day I was buying a couple new machines at work. Tom encouraged me to call apple and maybe setup a biz account and see what discounts they would give me. I almost didn't even consider this assuming they wouldn't be willing to do anything, to my surprise they were very happy to give 5% right off the top of my order, a savings of over $300 on my order! So when you're thinking about buying something that traditionally doesn't offer any savings, make sure you check!

Cheap Pizza made cheaper
Tonight Molly & I are having Little Ceasars Pizza. I remember the good old days when my friend Mike Leung and I would ride our bikes to Little Ceasars and get personal pan pizzas. It was a great thing to do in the summer when you were bored. They kinda went off the map for a while, but they're back again with more stores around the Lincoln area.
We love to take advantage of their $5.55 Hot N' Ready Pizza deal. Now you can make that deal even sweeter with a coupon from http://lincolncoupons.com Just do a quick search under the "pizza" category and remember to select your nearest Little Ceasars before printing the coupon. This makes your pizza $5 plus tax, so $5.35 total.
UPDATE: Molly just got home and they have a deal on Monday's that your Hot N' Ready pizza is only $5 without the coupon.

I have to say, though, I was a little disappointed in how little these snacks are. I guess 100 calories doesn't get you much;) They do taste good, though-- very much like a frosting-less pop tart but better:)

UNL Athletics- Free ticket
Last week Ryan's friend Tim was nice enough to give us a couple tickets to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln men's basketball game. It was a fun time! We bought some popcorn & pop and Ryan noticed that the box top was redeemable for entrance to a future UNL athletic event...and not just for one, but for "you and four other people"-- up to 5 can get in for free! Event tickets include gymnastics, soccer, softball, wrestling, swimming & diving, track & field, & women's basketball. Considering the popcorn was just $2, we thought that was a pretty good deal:) In fact, Tom, Ryan & I went to the undefeated UNL women's basketball game this last Wednesday!

Receive up to $50 in 3 months from Hy-Vee
Have you used one of these prescription coupons at Hy-Vee yet?!
If you haven't filled a prescription at Hy-Vee before, or if you can transfer a prescription to Hy-Vee, you may cash in big!
There are a series of three coupons out for Hy-Vee pharmacies right now. Here's how they work:
Coupon 1: A new customer fills a new prescription or transfers a prescription from any other pharmacy, receive a $15 Hy-Vee gift card.
Coupon 2: Refill your prescription the first time and receive a $10 gift card
Coupon 3: Refill your prescription for the second time and receive a $25 gift card!
I had the chance to try this out recently and it was easy to do. I only had one refill on the prescription, so I only got $25 worth of gift cards, but I think that's great considering I had to get the prescription either way!
I love that there always seems to be a place that is offering these prescription deals. I've gotten $50 at CVS before, $10 at Target, and now this deal:)
One thing you may want to keep in mind... prescription costs vary from store to store, so I usually call around to find out how much the prescription will be before I take it in. It's not a good deal to get a gift card somewhere if the prescription itself is gonna cost too much!
Do you need a set of these coupons? Let me know in the feedback and I'll send you a set!
(the coupons expire 2/28, 3/31 & 4/30, respectively)

Healthy Choice Mixers
Well, I feel a little guilting posting this deal I got since I'm not sharing how to actually do it until now, which is too late:( It was a little involved, though-- I bought 20 coupons from a member of A Full Cup (coupons were for $2/1 Healthy Choice Fresh Mixers). Target had a "buy 10 Healthy Choice Meals, get a $5 Target gift Card" deal last week and the Fresh Mixers were $2.50 each. Here's how it worked:
Transaction #1:
I bought 10 Healthy Choice Fresh Mixers @ $2.50 each
Total= $25
Minus (10) $2/1 coupons = $-20
Total= $5, plus I got a $5 Target gift card
Transaction #2:
I bought 10 more Healthy Choice Fresh Mixers @ $2.50 each
Total= $25
Minus (10) $2/1 coupons = $-20
Total $5
Paid for with gift card from trans. #1, plus I got another $5 Target gift card!
I did pay $0.10 each for the coupons plus the cost of a stamp. So, I paid about $0.37 each for these meals out-of-pocket. If you factor in the gift card, my total was more like $0.12 per meal!
Even though you can't actually still do this deal, I hope you'll find the idea of buying coupons you need helpful. Try checking ebay, trading for the coupons on A Full Cup, or buying them from a coupon clipping place like Coupons & Things By Dede!
