Price Matching School Supplies at Wal-Mart

Wow, I wish I had thought of this genuis idea! There have been some amazing deals on school supplies the past few weeks, but making a special trip to go to one store for 5 penny items just doesn't make sense for me. My time is more valuable than that.

However, BeCentsAble had the amazing idea to take all the ads to Wal-Mart and take advantage of their price matching policy. If the store brand is on sale at a competitor, you should be able to get WalMart's store brand for that same low price. I haven't tried this yet so I can't give my experience, but I've done something similar in the past without problems. Let me know how your trip goes when you try it!

Here's a recap of this week's school supply deals, just remember that you have to take the ad with you when price matching.

Less $1.00/2 printable coupons

Children's Place & Pumpkin Patch: Big Sales

I was at Paradise Valley mall this morning and saw some great sales I would pass along to you! The Children's Place is having an additional 50% off their clearance racks. Not a huge selection, but a great chance to stock up for next year.

Also, Pumpkin Patch was offering an additional 40% off the entire store. I love these outfits for pictures because they are so bright and colorful. Find a store near you here.

Staples: 4 reams of paper for $3


Here's a great tip at Staples, thanks to Juli!

"There is an Easy Rebate on paper, limit of two each. The "Hammermill Copy Plus" white ream is $3.99 with a $2.99 rebate and the "Staples Brights" colored paper is $11.99 with a $8.99 rebate. Buy 2 reams of each and use the $5.00 off $30.00 purchase coupon, that brings it down to $3.00 plus tax for four reams of paper. Super deal to me, especially for colored paper that's hard to get a great deal on."

Borders: 30% off coupon


I apologize as this offer is totally last minute, I just checked my email and this 30% off coupon at Border's was in my inbox. It's only good until 7/29, but I'm sure a new offer will be available soon!

Canyon Falls Spa: $5 Kids Hair Cuts


Remember last month when I posted about the $5 kids hair cuts? Well, we finally made it to the Canyon Falls Salon & Sap today and had an awesome experience! The salon has a separate area just for kids decorated like an underwater cave. They have videos for the kids to watch and the seat is actually an airplane that the kids can pedal and steer (see picture above). Nicole was our hair stylist and she did a great job with my daughter's hair! We will definitely be going back before this promo ends the end of August!

Just a reminder:
$5 cuts for children under 10
Sun, Mon, Tues only from 9am - 5pm.
No appt, walk-in only

Canyon Falls Salon is located off Raintree & the 101 next to the World's Gym.

Staples $5 off $30 Coupon


Go here to download a $5 off $30 coupon for your next purchase at Staples. Offer good thru 8/1/09. There was also this same coupon in the AZ Republic yesterday in the Staples insert.

I'm in the market for a new monitor and back-up hard drive so these might come in handy for us! Can anyone give me recommendations on where to purchase these items for the least amount of money?

Free ShamWow Drying Cloths


Go here and take a short survey and you'll receive two free ShamWow Drying Cloths. I can say from experience that these works really well and much more effective than getting 5 towels wet!

Thanks UtahDealDiva!

Cheescake Factory: 1/2 price Cheesecake


I am such a sucker for sweets and Cheesecake Factory has the best selection of cheesecakes I've seen ever! My favorite is the Key Lime Cheesecake but I would say yes to any flavor if offered. On July 30th, stop by and help them celebrate National Cheesecake Day with all of the slices priced at half off! Most slices are about $7 regularly. This offer is for dine-in only and limit 1 slice per guest.

Thanks, Rachael.

Albertson's: Dr Pepper 12 pk for $0.15 each


We don't drink soda very often, but when I do, my choice is always Dr Pepper. Recently I was introduced to Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper and I love it just as much! This morning I was at Albertson's to stock up on planter's peanuts 2 for $3, but it looks like I'm going to be headed back to stock up on this sale!

I've been told that when you buy 4 12-packs of Dr. Pepper at Albertsons for $10.58 plus tax (you should get two 12-packs free as part of the Coke deal currently running), you'll receive a $10 catalina to use on your next order. That makes it $0.58 for four 12-packs!!!

You can roll this deal using the $10 catalina earned on your first order to buy 4 more 12-packs and receive another $10 catalina and so on. Here's your chance to stock up on Dr. Pepper for less than $0.15 per 12-pack! That's a pretty good deal in my opinion!!!

Super Cheap Nestle Water at Safeway



Safeway has an awesome way to stock up on bottled water for an incredibly low cost. We use refillable water bottles every day to cut down on trash, but it's always nice to have these for trips and parties.

Update: These coupons are dead now, but I understand that you still get the catalina for your next order and you can still submit your mail in rebate for the free case couons :(
Buy 5 Cases of Nestlé Pure Life Water (24 pack): $3.99 each
Use 5 $1.50/1 printable coupons or $1/1 printable coupons
Receive a $5 Catalina Coupon
Final Price = $7.45 - $9.95

Once you purchase these at Safeway, visit Nestlé’s Healthy Rewards Program and send in your rebate to get two coupons for 2 free cases when you buy five cases.

The final cost is $1.07 per case after catalinas, printable coupons, and rebate!

American Eagle: Free T-shirt with Jeans Purchase


If you are shopping for jeans at American Eagle, get a limited edition t-shirt for free. There isn't a coupon, just mention the free shirt and they should be in the store.

This isn't a fabulous discounted deal because you only get the free t-shirt with full-priced jeans, but if you can't wait for a sale to buy jeans, at least here is a chance to get something for free!

Old Navy: Buy 1 Get 1 Half Off Regular Price Men & Women Styles


July 24-29th, Old Navy is offering Buy 1 Get 1 50% off all men's and women's regularly priced styles. This offer is only good in-stores, not on-line. And don't forget to check oldnavyweekly to try earning valuable coupons.

Victoria's Secret: Free tank top for Pink Nation Members


This morning, I received an email from Victoria Secret with a great offer. For all Pink Nation members, get a free solid tank with the purchase of any Pink yoga pant. I've seen these pants on sale a lot recently, so you might be able to get a great deal on a workout outfit!

Pink Nation members, check your email for your personalized coupon.

If you're not already a Pink member, it's free to join here.

Please Pray for Kate


One of my best friends has been walking with Holly & Aaron McRae as their lives are unfolding beyond what they could have imagined. My friend grew up with Holly's family and we all now live in Arizona. About 2 weeks ago, their 5 year old daughter, Kate (pictured above), was diagnosed with an aggressive, malignant brain tumor and you can follow her story here. The McRae's have 2 other children and are in for a very long and unknown road of treatment & surgeries ahead of them. Their faith is the only thing that is keeping them above water, but I can't imagine their lives being turned upside down. The only thing that they are asking for is prayer. Now that you've "met" Kate through her picture, it will be hard to forget those beautiful eyes as you say a prayer for her.

I hate to be reminded of the important things when tragedy strikes, but I've been holding my daughter closer each night when I think of Kate. I need to be reminded that life is short and things don't go according to my plans because that is when I'm encouraged that He has better "plans for a future and a hope" for me, and I have to rest in that knowledge. Thank you for your prayers.

Honey Baked Ham: B1G1 Free Sandwich


It's a huge treat when we get Honey Baked Ham at the holidays! The restaurant is also a bit out of our price range but with this coupon, it's definitely do-able! Use this coupon to create your own whole or half sandwich and get one for free.
