Zondervan Breakfast Book Club

I'm an avid reader. I hope that doesn't change as the family grows. So, I was really excited to see that Zondervan has a Breakfast Club where "every morning, in your email, I'll [the site] give you a 5-minute nibble from a fiction or nonfiction book. By the end of the week, you'll have sampled 2 to 3 chapters. Every Monday I'll [the site] feature a new book.

Time for a Break

I'm going to be taking a little break for a while.

This baby will be here within a week, so I'll just be checking in every once in a while for new goodies. Of course, if I have the chance, I'll post them for you here.

I have a whole list of links on the right hand side, at the bottom, of fantastic sites for you to visit in my absence. Give me a month or so to get life back together and I'll be back!

CVS and Walgreens

I have not had a chance to put together the Walgreens and CVS deals this week. Go here to Southern Savers and you can see what she has! She has, by far, the best list which includes newspaper and Internet coupons. You can also make a shopping list to take with you.

I probably won't be doing the deals for a while since baby is due anytime now!

Hurry to Walgreens TODAY!

The 9 roll pack of Angel Soft, advertised for $4 is ringing up $3.50! Use the coupon from here and get some really cheap, good quality, toilet paper!

Free Duracell Batteries

Go here to see how to get a free 20 pack of Duracell batteries at Staples. You have to be a rewards member and the amount will be credited to your rewards account with the rebate check mailed in January.

Thanks Money Saving Mom!

Valid for purchases between 11/27/09 and 12/26/09. Valid in store, on staples.com or by phone. Staples Rewards will be mailed in January. While supplies last.

Olay $20 Rebate

Swag Grabber has a post here on a new rebate from Olay, good only on facial products. I'll be looking for good deals to make it a money maker!

Whataburger Coupons

Remember back when I sent you to get a free burger? I told you that there would be good news for December from Whataburger...here it is!

Starting December 1st they'll be emailing you a coupon for free food valid every other day from December 2nd until December 24th, 2009. It could be anything from a shake, to French fries, to a Whataburger^®. And it's free just for sharing the holiday season with us.

Go here to get signed up!

Wal Mart Samples

Go here to get Carefree and Stayfree samples. On the Carefree, you have the choice of a sample or a coupon, take the sample! Should have the coupon in it when it gets there. Looks like the same link as before, so if you've already received this, you can't re-request it...darn!

Thanks Frugal Girls!
