What to do with extra school supplies?

The stores are still practically giving away school supplies this week. Here are 3 things you can do with the extra school supplies you bought.

1. Donate them to a food pantry. Food pantries often give out school supplies this time of year.
2. Donate them to a local school. Each year teachers spend hundreds of dollars of their own money to buy school supplies for their classrooms.
3. Save them to put in a shoebox for Operation Christmas Child- coming in November.

Michelina's deal at Giant Eagle

Go here and print two coupons $1 off when you buy 5 Michelina's. Go to Giant Eagle they are on sale for $1 each. Buy 10 get $2 catalina back. So $10 minus $2 coupons minus $2 cat back= $6 for 10 or $0.60 each.

Also at my Giant Eagle they were giving out coupon booklets for Yoplait products including $1 off 100 calorie Yoplait Delights- or there was a $0.50 coupon is Sunday's paper that will double- they are on sale for $2 so you pay $1. They are very yummy!

Super Savings Saturday

I forgot my grocery cash again! This week I bought some extra items I would not normally buy because I have to bring snacks next week for preschool- and I bought some baby items for my sister. I spend $69 OOP on $114 worth of stuff. Then I went back to customer service. One item rang up wrong so they gave me $2 back and I was supposed to get a $6 catalina for buying all the baby items- so they gave me a $6 gift card.

Super Savings Saturday

I started my experiment of shopping with cash only this week and I went to Giant Eagle and promptly forgot my cash envelope. My budget was $60 for the week for groceries and I did charge it on Discover (cash back rewards baby!) but I still did pretty good. Got $96 worth of groceries- spent $64 after coupons and got back $15.50 in catalinas ($$ coupons off future purchases). Check out Money Saving Mom for more Super Savings Saturday!

SSS: How to get 4 boxes of cereal for $1

Giant Eagle has several kinds of cereal 4 for $7 this week (when you buy 4). Buy 4 boxes of Multigrain Cheerios. Use 4 coupons here $0.75 which will double to $1.50 each (you may need to use 2 different computers).

Buy 4 boxes at 4/$7 minus $6 in coupons= $1 for 4 boxes Multigrain Cheerios or $0.25 each!
