Are You "Spaving?"

Check out this recent article on MSNBC to see if you're a spaver - someone who spends in order to save on things they don't need: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/43027707

Free Ritz Crackerfuls at Walgreens

One of the freebies at Walgreens this week is packages of Ritz Crackerfuls, which generate a $2 Register Reward when you buy one for $2.00. There is also a $.75 coupon you can use that will give you $.75 to spend on something else.

Some stores have already run out, however, so keep an eye out for trial size packages priced at $.79 as an alternative purchase. You can use your $.75 coupon on those and be able to buy them for $.04 if the full size are not in stock.

Cheap Easter Candy

Yes, I know Easter isn't for more than a month, but it sure is hard to resist the delicious candy that has been on display for weeks already, isn't it?

One of my favorite Easter candies is Cadbury eggs. They're only available in early spring, so I enjoy having a few before swimsuit season.

If you're a Cadbury egg fan like I am, or perhaps a Reese's peanut butter egg devotee, you'll want to be on the lookout for a coupon worth $.50/2 that are attached to an in-store display for the candies. I found mine at convenience store FastTrac, if that helps.

This week Rite Aid has Cadbury eggs priced at 2 for $1, so with one of those coupons you can pay $.50 for two. Or use them at a grocery store that doubles and you'll get $1 off your two candies.
