Hallmark $5 Coupon...Great Find!!!

There is a Hallmark $5 coupon floating around in the following magazines (that I have found out so far.) These are all December issues...

Martha Stewart Living

Family Circle

Woman's Day

MidWest Living

Real Simple

I receive ALOT of free magazine subscriptions that I have all found on the web via freestufftimes.com. I was able to snag 6 of these q's and headed off to my local Hallmark for some awesome deals. These expire 12/24 and CAN be combined with other in-store offers AND used toward sales merchandise. Min. $5 purchase BEFORE taxes. I was able to use mine all at the same Hallmark. But, it does say 1 per customer so, just make sure you can use more than one. Sign up for their rewards program and earn points for free cards and such. Here is what I was able to score using mine...

Sale...Buy 1 roll of wrapping paper for $4.99 get 1 another for $0.99. Total is $5.99 for 2 rolls. I used my $5 Coupons & did 3 transactions. I was able to score 6 rolls of good quality wrapping paper for $0.49 a roll. What a deal!!

I also got...

Using 3 seperate transactions,

1. A "Peek Buster" Gift Bag, it has sounding sirens and police sound effects when opened, for $0.99.

2. A Cookie & Hot Chocolate Bundle for $0.95

3. The Snowman Band Book which is $3.95 with the purchase of 3 Hallmark Cards, so I used (3) $0.99 cards...my subtotal was $6.92 (-$5 coupon) = $1.92

I was able to score all this for $3.86!! That is less than the book itself!

So, check your magazines and head on out to your nearest Hallmark and shop savvy!

Helzberg Diamonds Free Earrings!!

This past week I received a Christmas card from Helzberg Diamonds and inside was a voucher for a FREE set of pearl earrings, no strings attached. So yesterday, while in the area, I went to my local mall and redeemed my voucher. These are beautiful earrings!! I was skeptical at first but, the staff was excellent and friendly. I walked away very happy and surprised. I will definitely go to Helzberg for all my jewlery needs.

So, you never know what may come in the mail. This is one good reason why I open everything that comes my way because you never know when some pearl earrings may show up.

Have a great weekend everyone and ...

Happy Veteran's Day!!

" It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. It is a soldier, who salutes the flag, serves under the flag and whose coffin is drapped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag." ---Unknown

To All The Veterans and Active Duty Military, May God Bless You All and Come Home Safely!
