Reminder: BRUS Great Trade In Event February 16, 2011

Just a reminder that the Babies R Us Great Trade In Event is still going on. Here’s the scoop: Through February 21st, bring in an old or used baby item such as a car seat, high chair, crib, stroller, etc. & get 25% off a new one! Babies ‘R Us then takes the old ones & destroys them to ensure they aren’t used. You can read all the details about this sale here.

Considering the Consumer Product Safety Commission has banned drop down cribs (this will go into effect in June of 2011), this is the perfect time to get a new one. This ban covers virtually all cribs currently in use in the USA. This sale is also a great way to save on a replacement seat if your car seat or booster seat are near their expiration date (yes, they have expiration dates!).

Babies ‘R Us Great Trade In Event January 28, 2011

Unless you know me “in real life” you may not know that I am passionate about children & car seat safety. Which is why I’m always so glad to see the Babies ‘R Us Great Trade In Event roll around. Did you know that all car seats & booster seats have an expiration date on them & should not be used after that date? Well, they do!

Here’s the scoop on this awesome event: Through February 21st, bring in an old or used baby item such as a car seat, high chair, crib, stroller, etc. & get 25% off a new one! Babies ‘R Us then takes the old ones & destroys them to ensure they aren’t used. You can read all the details about this sale here.

Also worth nothing is that the Consumer Product Safety Commission has banned drop down cribs (it will go into effect in June of 2011). This ban covers virtually all cribs currently in use in the USA. This is the perfect time to replace your crib with a safer option & save some money while doing so!

Wanna Save 94%? Clip Coupons! February 13, 2010

I hear it all the time: “I’m not sure clipping coupons is worth my time.” Let’s take a look at my day, & you be the judge.

 

I went to 3 different stores today to snag some great deals. I’m going to make this easy & just give you totals spent & what I received.

 

Babies R Us: Spent $1.71 OOP (out of pocket)

 

Walgreens: Spent $5.11 OOP but received $6 RR = 89 cent profit

 

Safeway: Spent: $3.16 OOP

 

Total spent after profit: $3.98

 

For $3.98 I got 2 boxes of Revolution Foods Organic Mashups, 2 bags of Terra Chips, 1 8×10 Photo Collage, 1 Dove Men+Care Body Wash, 6 packs Orbit gum, 240 cotton rounds, 2 bags of Pop Chips, & 4 sticks of Right Guard deodorant. I would have spent $63.43+tax on these items if I hadn’t clipped coupons & used in store discounts (Register Rewards & eGift Cards). That means I saved 94%! Actually, it was a bit more because I didn’t include tax when I calculated the percentage, but you get my point.

Yes, I went to 3 stores. Yes, it took me an hour & forty five minutes. But I was able to shop by myself for an hour & forty five minutes; I was happy doing it! And really…..I’m okay with spending that time shopping if I can save 94%. Additionally, I’m donating the deodorant & shower gel to a food shelter, which makes me feel even better about spending the time couponing. I love that someone else can benefit from my time spent clipping coupons.

 

So you tell me….would you spend less than 2 hours shopping if you could save 94%?

Freebies at Babies R Us

Babies R Us & Toys R Us have a huge Presidents Day Sale going on. There are tons of products on sale, but I was super excited about the snacks on sale (who knew they had such a great selection of snack food, especially organic stuff?!).

First, you can score 2 bags of Terra Chips free. Yep, free. All varieties are on sale for 2/$2. Print out 2 $1/2 coupons here or use the ones that were in the 12/6 SS insert. Those coupons make these bags free! There was a hassle because they were not ringing up 2/$2, but I just smiled & waited (& waited & waited) patiently & the clerk finally got it to work. I’m telling you…a smile goes a long way towards getting the clerks to help you!

Next, all Revolution Foods items are on sale BOGO 1/2 off. This is a great deal for organic snacks! I got 2 boxes of the organic fruit mashups for my daughter’s lunch box.

Don’t forget to use your $5 eGift Card from becoming a Facebook Fan if you still have it.

So, I got 2 bags of Terra Chips & 2 boxes of Revolution Foods Organic Mashups for $1.71 after my coupons & eGift Card. That is insane!

Thanks to Hip2Save for posting the Terra Chips deal!
