Free Starbucks Gift Card

This is an interesting one. You fill out a short survey at Clayton Kendall’s website (they sell promotional materials that you can imprint with your company’s logo) in exchange for a $5 Starbucks gift card. It almost seems too good to be true, but since the survey is so short, I figured I’d do it and see what happens. It does require your phone number though, so I’m going to assume that a sales rep is going to call.

Free Kids Stuff

There’s nothing like having a box of free stuff on hand to keep small children entertained. Here’s some free kids stuff that’s easy to order…

Scholastic Book
Geotrax DVD
Planet Hereos Ace in Space DVD
Lysol Activity Book (for older kids – they might learn something about hygiene, for younger kids, hey – it’s a coloring book that might keep them entertained for a few minutes! You can order up to 30 copies if you’re a teacher).

Publix Sampling Event Nov 18th 4-7pm

Sam’s Club Gift Cards & Sampling Event

Sam’s club is a great place to go to stock up on eggs, cheese and cold cuts. Annual membership is $35 for businesses (you can provide proof by means of either a business license, business card or flyer) or $40 for regular customers. Through Nov 26, if you sign up to become a member, they will give you a $10 Sam’s Club gift card which can be used in any store after Thanksgiving. If you to shop at Sam’s without a membership, you simply pay a 10% surplus.

We all know that Sams Club gives out some pretty awesome samples. They’re upping the ante for a 3-day “Holiday Taste of Sam’s Club” event on Nov 21-23 from 10:30am – 6:00pm.

Great Coupons at Publix

A great place to get coupons this month is at Publix. Many coupons in the Publix flyers (found near the front door of the store) are manufacturer’s coupons that are accepted at any store. Others are Publix coupons, but keep in mind that many competitors accept Publix coupons.

My faves?

November Publix Greenwise has (among other coupons) $1 off Silk Soymilk, $1 off Eat Smart All-Natural Veggie Crisps, $1 off Blue Diamon Almond milk, $1 off Horizon Organic Milk.

Publix Winter Family Savings (among other coupons) $1 and $1.50 coupons for Green and Blacks Organic Chocolalte (Green and Blacks uses cocoa beans grown next to fruit orchards and you can actually taste the fruit in their chocolate, it’s soooo good!), $1 off any Seventh Generation Product, $1 off Scotch Brite Sponges, $1 off Orajel Toddler Toothpaste. Many expire 12/31.

If you want to get these and other Publix publications at home, go to the Publix website. Although I recommend also stopping by so you can pick up multiple copies if there's a coupon for a product you use alot of.

$5 off $20 at Walgreens on Nov 14 and 15

This Thursday and Friday, get $5 off $20 at Walgreens a coupon. Just click on the blue coupon bar to the right of this post to view all the coupons on my blog. The Walgreens $5 off $20 coupon is all the way at the bottom of the list.

Free Appetizer or Dessert at TGI Fridays

I just got a coupon for a free appetizer or dessert at TGI Fridays. Want one? Go to the TGI Fridays site and sign up to Give Me More Stripes. They’ll e-mail you a coupon for a free appetizer (no other purchase is necessary, and it expires one month after it’s issued). TGI Fridays will also mail you a card that gives you a one-time chance to cut the line. On a weekend, this could sure come in handy! The card also entitles you to $8 of free food for every $100 that you spend.
