Calling all cell phone users! Are you looking for a low price phone for your self or maybe even your kids?  TracFone may be just what you need. With monthly plans as low as $9.99 and name brand cell phones (LG, Nokia, Samsung) starting at $10, this seems like a GREAT deal!  Tracfone has no credit checks, activations fees, or contracts. Check out this short clip real TracFone customers. You simply pay as you go!  You can also get these phones with cameras, internet access, and mp3 player for just $29.99!

Are you skeptical? Not sure if this deal is as good as it sounds.  Check out this video of real TracFone customers.  Now, my children are definitely not old enough for phones, but I think this would be a great deal for teenagers.  The amount of minutes you put on the phone is all they can use.  So there is no worrying  if the kids went over their minutes and just how much that will make your bill go up.

Do you have relatives that live out of the country? If so, TracFone is the only cellular service that provides international calling for the SAME price as regular calls!  That is a GREAT benefit!  So what are you waiting for? Go check out TracFone!

Farm Fresh.

For the first time ever (well since I been shopping farm fresh) they were doubling coupons up to $2.00.  So if you had a $2 coupon, it took $4 bucks off...which makes for the little bags of dog food free. They did this sale sun-tues.  Everything in this pic was free.

everything was free except 2 out of the 4 bags of dog treats.  I paid .39 each for 2 of them.

FREE PRODUCE!  That is very rare! Farm Fresh was offering a free cantalope coupon via their facebook page! pretty sweet deal!

candles were .39 each.
everything else was free.

Farm Fresh.

Farm Fresh.

paid $1.43 but when you purchased certain items, you would get a $1 catalina coupon that was good off anything. I got back $7 in catalinas!

97% savings.


$7 in catalina's.



went back for a late night trip.
total:  .78!



Target.


last week's target trip.
everything was free but the pillow.
pillow was $2.50 - $2.00 (target coupon) = .50 plus tax.


went to target this week and guess what? the pillows were on sale for $1.97!!!  Pair that with the $2 coupon = FREE PILLOWS!  my first thought was 'yay, free'!  and my second thought was ' dang, i paid .50 last week'!  sad, huh?!
the tape was on sale for .50 paired with $1 manf coupon = FREE plus overage.  I purchased 9 tapes so $4.50 in overage I used towards other groceries.




HOT!

This weather is the EXACT reason I'm a fall/spring kinda chick.  It's supposed to be in the TRIPLE digits tomorrow.  There is nothing remotely enjoying about that. :::::::counting down till summer is OVER:::::::

Zenni Optical.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Zenni Optical for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Do you wear glasses?  How much are you willing to pay?  What is considered to high?  I'm curious to see what price ranges people shop for their optical wear.  Although, I don't wear glasses, my husband does.   Like anything else I shop for...I'm always on the lookout for a bargain.  My husband wears glasses but thankfully he's all about stretching a dollar. 

Recently, in the Time magazine (July 4th edition: Eyes on the Price) it was discussed that editor, Bill Saporito, paid $1000.00 for glasses!  Can you imagine?! I was shocked to read that ANYONE would pay such a high price for glasses.  I just couldn't bring myself to spend that amount of money on a pair of glasses.  Obviously, Mr. Saporito didn't shop at Zenni Optical were your glasses can  be shipped right to your door for $20!  That includes shipping too! He could have saved $980!  I'm sure there have to be better ways to spend that money.  I know we live a frugal life and $1000.00 would have NEVER been spent on glasses in this household.

I would definitely recommend checking out Zenni Optical.  They have great prices & can be delivered right to your doorstep!  They say a penny saved is a penny earned!

Parent's Choice Sweepstakes!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of PBM Products for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Walmart's Parent's Choice Infant Formula is not only a brand that is dedicated to helping families save money but also carries the same ingredients as leading brand formulas. They are affordable & provide outstanding nutrition.

Would you like to  possibly win a $10,000 College Scholarship for your child? Parent’s Choice Infant Formula Savings Sweepstakes is offering a chance to win just that!  The sweepstakes runs June 15th thru August 1st 2011. For more information, official rules, and entry form please click the following link:

Parent’s Choice Infant Formula Savings Sweepstakes

What are you waiting for?  Enter for YOUR chance to win a scholarship for your little one!  Good Luck!

I just wanted to add a little extra input.  Although, I have never personally used Parent's Choice, I know several moms that have.  I think its  excellent that there is a cheaper version of formula but yet still the same great ingredients.  Raising babies is costly and many moms would like to save as much as they can.  Parents Choice is a great company that recognizes moms went the BEST but also they most affordable.  Kudos to Parents Choice!  Now, go try your chance in the sweepstakes!
