The Winners!!

I am so pleased with the response from you all. There is no way I could choose… so I let random.org choose some numbers for me. Since there was such a great response I decided to choose 4 winners and here they are:

joysykes@…

This was so much fun…I may have to make this a regular occurrence!
Congratulations to the winners–I have sent you an email.

Free or Very Cheap Bulbs

I did some price checks on the GE Energy Smart Bulbs.  There are lot of options but here are some great deals I found:

Use the coupon in the ad plus a MQ:
2.50 Off GE Energy Smart Compact Fluorescent Lighting Product, Assorted Varieties, 1 to 6-ct pkg
-$1/1 from 04-19-09 SS
-$1/1 All You, April 17, 2009
-$1/1 PRINT

• 13 watt- $2.95
• 20 watt-$3.59
• 26 watt-$4.89

 I was confused by the differece in watts at first…so here is a guide to help you choose the correct one:

Standard Bulb		CFL Bulb
40w	=	10w
60w	=	13w-15w
75w	=	20w
100w	=	26w-29w
150w	=	38w-42w
250w-300w	=	55w

We have converted almost our entire house to CFL’s…so looks like now is a great time to stock up!!

Free Chocolate Friday

Every Friday at 9am Mars is giving away FREE chocolate!  They will send you a coupon good for your favorite Mars product (Dove, M&M, Snickers, 3 Musketeers, Twix, Milky Way) Go HERE and request your coupon! You have all day to request the coupon– although they are only giving away 250,000 coupons per Friday.  They are running this promo through September–so you can go back BUT they do limit you to 4 coupons per household for the offer period.

Too Many Coupons (& a little giveaway)

OK-the contest is now over—I will post winners ASAP!

I have spent most of the day CLEANING my house.  Last night I looked around and could barely see my countertops because of all the coupon stacks! So I decided that the boys and I would stay home today and I would organize and clean.

Have you all noticed the abundance of coupons lately?  I am just amazed at all the great deals and “hot” coupons available right now.  I started looking through my coupons and decided there is no way on earth I could possibly use everything (plus my binder is so full it will not close!)  I also met with my “coupon angel” yesterday and she loaded me up!  So I thought it might be nice to “spread the wealth”. 

If you are interested in a big envelope of savings –all you need to do is comment below.  I will randomly choose TWO winners tomorrow around 4pm .  We are going out of town this weekend so I want to make sure I can get them packed up and sent on Saturday morning!  If you tell me what your “hot” coupons are I will see what I can do

BTW–you can get an additional entry by subscribing to iheartpublix –click the universal feed icon beside my logo.  If you already subscribe then let me know in a separate comment!

***If you subscribe or are an existing subscriber–MAKE SURE TO COMMENT TWICE –In order to have 2 chances I need 2 separate posts!!

Good luck!!

Leandrea sent me the link to the All You Grocery Challenge.  This sounds very exciting!  They want some smart shoppers who can spend no more than $25 per week per family member to join in the challenge.  That would be $100 per week for my family–Wow!  All the details are HERE–the grand prize is a $1000 grocery card, a years worth of Knorr side dishes and a chance to appear in the magazine! 

All You is one of my FAVORITE magazines as each issue is jam packed with great coupons…if you need a subscription–click the All You magazine on my right sidebar.  Joy is offering a 2-yr subscription for $18…that is INCREDIBLE!  I would love to win the gift card but I would be thrilled to see one of you in the magazine as well!

Thanks Leandrea!!
