RiteAid: FREE Edy's Ice Cream & Lay's Stacks!!! (and no coupons needed!)

Who doesn't like ice cream and chips? This is a deal anyone can do. You don't need any coupons! But you do need a Rite Aid card (they are free, and you can even apply for one when you go to grab these deals)

So here's the deal:
Edy's Ice Cream: $2.99 each
     - Receive $2 +up reward (prints out on your receipt to use on next purchase)

Lay's "Stacks" Chips: $1 each
     - Receive $1 +up reward

Spend $15 on select foods (the ice cream and chips are included), get a $5 +up reward (one per household)

Deal Scenario #1:
     - Buy 5 ice creams
     - Spend $15+tax out of pocket
     - Get $15 back in +up rewards to use on your next purchase ($10 for the ice cream, $5 for spending $15)

Deal Scenario #2:
     - Buy 3 ice creams ($9)
     - Buy 6 cans of chips ($6)
     - Get $17 back in +up rewards

Repeat deal.... :-) Tonight I spent $21 out of pocket (combined from 2 separate transactions) and got the following:
- 7 tubs of Edy's Ice Cream (we have a deep freezer)- $21
- 8 cans of Lays Stacks- $8
- 4 Packs of Stayfree pads (On sale B1G1, and I had B1G1 coupons) $22
- 2 bottles of St. Johns Wart (vitamins on sale B1G1 and I had coupons) $18
- Nature Made Sleep Aid (had coupons) $13

Original Total: $82 +tax
Out of Pocket: $21 (savings of $61)
+Up Rewards still left: $9 (so basically I spent $12 for all of the above, because I'm sure I will find some more great deals at Rite Aid and score some more free stuff to keep these +Up rewards rolling!)

NoMoreRack: $5 for 5 Receiving Blankets @ NoonET

Figured I would give y'all the heads up in advance on this one: NoMoreRack has daily deals that start at NoonET every day, and they sell out FAST. Today I spotted two things: $5 for the 5 receiving blankets pictured above, and $6 for the Glass Handbag Hanger pictured below (you use to hang your purse on a table when you're out and about, instead of having to set it on the floor):

Like I said, this stuff sells FAST. Shipping is a flat rate of $2 an item. If you're new to NoMoreRack, after you sign up, go to your profile, then "Redeem a Gift Card" and type in "P1070", which will give you $10 off your first purchase of $20 or more.

Review: God Gave Us The World

Immediately when I opened this book, I smiled. I love the bright watercolor-type pictures, the colorful scarves around the little bears necks, and just the expressions caught by the artist of little kids.

The book "God Gave Us the World" shares about a polar bear family visiting a "Bears Around the World" museum, which sparks dozens of "but why?" questions from Little Cub. "Why do they wanna live there?", "Why do they eat that?".... And Mama Bear patiently answers them all with the basic but solid answers that all the bears live in different places, eat different things, and look different, because God is creative and had fun creating us all different!

The book is geared for children ages 4-8 years old, which I think is a perfect age. Not only is it educational on the basics of different bears, but brings up some great questions that provide Christian parents with the chance to talk about how creative God is, and take it the next step further to look out how we as people are all created different, too. The principles/statements are fairly repetitive as the book continues on, but for a child, this will be perfect. I look forward to my son getting old enough to enjoy this book with me!

Feel free to rank my review here: 

Just in case you're interested, Amazon sells God Gave Us the Worldfor $7.91.

Taking a few days off....

Friends and fellow bargain hunters, I just wanted to let y'all know I won't be posting deals very much for a few days. We have been battling being sick for the last week and a half, and I'm finally hitting my wall. After 9 days of having the flu & a severe sinus infection myself, while taking care of my 1 year old who got a cold, then an ear infection, then the flu, then double ear infections, and his little ears aren't responding to the antibiotic (after 5 days they went from 1 ear to both ears), he has to go in to get an antibiotic shot (this was his fourth round of ear infections in 6 months). I finally went to the doctor yesterday, and hope to be on the mend soon.

Anyway, I need to focus on my Levi, my body resting/healing, and getting back on top of things around the house. I'll be back up to posting sometime next week, but in the meantime I'll pass on deals from other bloggers when I see them pop up!

Amazon: $2.18 for 648 Huggies Wipes, shipped!!! (Updated)

Update: Price has changed slightly from last week. Now it is $17.40 (instead of $16 something), but after Amazon Mom discounts, and the $10 Amazon coupon, the price would be $2.18, which is still a GREAT deal!!!
Wow, oh wow. If you got the February issue of "Baby Talk", look for a $10 off your purchase in the Amazon Baby Store coupon. If you already belong to Amazon Mom, you might have gotten one of these in the mail last week. If you have this coupon, here's how you can get 3-refills of Huggies Natural Care Wipes (648 wipes) for $1.57.

- Login to your Amazon Mom Account (it's FREE to join if you haven't already).
- Find the Huggies Natural Care Fragrance Free Baby Wipes Popup Refill, 216-Count Pack (Pack of 3) - $17.40
- Get 15% off for belonging to Amazon Mom
- Select "Subscribe & Save" to get an additional 15% off (make sure to unsubscribe after you receive your wipes--the terms say you can unsubscribe at any time)
- Your price should now be $12.18
- You get free 2-day shipping with Amazon Mom
- Enter the promo code from your magazine/mailing card, then click "Sign Me Up"
- Your total should be $2.18* (for all you numbers-people, this is only $.003 per wipe!)

Like I said. Wow, oh, wow! We were on our last few wipes, too!

To make this even better, I used an Amazon giftcard I earned through Swagbucks, so it was completely FREE! (and yes, that is my affiliate link to Swagbucks, because referring people is another way to earn some extra Swagbucks. If that makes you uncomfortable, go directly to www.swagbucks.com yourself and sign-up!)

*If you have problems, just call Amazon customer service. It wouldn't apply the promo code to my order, which has never happened before to me, but I called and they adjusted it because the wipes meet the criteria for the discount. Customer service was very helpful and very friendly, and I didn't spend much time on the phone with them at all!!!
