Got Free Milk?

From now until Feb 8, 2010, you can enter to win a year's worth of free milk courtesy of the California Milk Processor Board. Just for signing up to win, you'll get a coupon that is good for free milk with purchase. This is an interesting promotion, because when I signed up this morning, I got a coupon for a free half gallon of chocolate milk (any brand) with the purchase of two gallons of white milk. This afternoon, I noticed that Centsible Sawyer got a couple of other coupons too, so there's a possibility that they're switching around the coupons. Either way, after you enter the promo, you'll either get notification that you won, or the screen will say "Sorry...". At that point, don't log out. Be sure to click on the small white "get my coupon" button to print your coupon. After it's printed, hit the back button a couple of times. I was able to print three coupons. You can enter for the free milk for a year drawing once a day. Have fun!

$10 off $30 at Cost Plus

If you picked up the newspaper on Sunday, you may have noticed the $10 off $30 coupon for Cost Plus. If you didn't get the paper, grab your coupon here. I love Cost Plus for their well-made, solid furniture and their variety of small gift items (when they're on sale of course!).

60% Off at Old Navy - Stock Up for Fall/Winter 2010

Old Navy is having an amazing sale right now, so now is the perfect time to stock up for colder weather next year. It takes planning, but your wallet will thank you next year!

This is what I found this morning... For boys, I found long sleeve t's for $4.99, mock neck pullovers for $5.99, and pique polos for $6.99 (if your child has to wear a uniform to school - you'll notice that they have uniform colors and you know how hard it is to find the appropriate blue and navy tops on sale right before school starts!). They also have some really cute mock neck sweaters for $8.99 that will keep your little guy looking dapper all winter (usually $24.50) and fleece coats for only $14.99. For girls, there are some great sparkle t's for $4.99. For men (keep in mind that they stock sizes up to XXXL), you'll find boxers for $2.99, sweater vests for $11.49 and cable knit sweaters for $12.99. In the women's section, you'll find a variety of tops for around $5.99 and dresses in the $5.99-$12.99 range. Hats for the entire family will run you $1.99.

When you shop online, always be sure to check sites like Retail Me Not to see if you can get further discounts, free shipping, etc. with coupon codes. I just saw some for Old Navy featuring 10% off for cardmembers on Tuesday (that's today!), $10 off any purchase of $50 or more etc. Sometimes you have to enter in several coupon codes to find one that will work, but it's well worth the try.
