Happy New Year!!! Can you believe the first decade of the new millenium is over??! Unbelievable. We had such an amazing year, and look forward to all that is to come in 2010! Thank you to each of you that has been involved; whether it was coming out to a BE Social, forwarding our monthly newsletter to a friend, or participating in our weekly BE Challenges. You are each a 'BE Girl' and we are anxious to continue on this amazing adventure with you!
Over the past few months we have been involved with a couple area shelters. We have learned that one of the most needed, and least donated, items are feminine hygiene products. We have had an ongoing drive to collect these products, but have decided to really focus on this during January and February. We have a lot of fun things coming up and will update you once they are solidified. I wanted to share something with you now though that I came across yesterday...there is a local woman named Amy Dix who has a website called www.HousewifeHacks.com. On this site, she shares 'tips and tricks for living large on less' and believe me, she's GOOD! One of my resolutions is to pay more attention to coupons and really trying to save money on my everyday purchases. Yesterday, Amy shared a way to purchase two 28 count package of Stayfree Maxi Pads for FREE! What a perfect way to show that 'giving back' doesn't always have be about 'giving money'! So, here's how it works...
Walgreens Price = $5.99
Use BOGO coupon from 1/3 RP* (you only use 1 cpn but you’ll buy 2 packs)
PLUS
Use $3/1 in-ad coupon* (you only need 1 coupon. It’ll deduct $6.)
Your Price = FREE after coupons
*The translation:In Sunday's (1/3) Des Moines Register there is a coupon insert called RedPlum (RP) that contains a 'buy one, get one free' (BOGO) coupon, you'll use this to purchase 2 packs of the maxi pads. Also found in that paper is the Walgreen's ad which contains a coupon for $3 off a pack of Stayfree Maxi Pads which you can use on BOTH your packages, so it'll deduct $6 off your purchase! Making your price FREE!!
This sale is good through Saturday, January 9th. I encourage each of you to take a few minutes to try it out! I am going to do it myself and video the process to show you how easy it really is! If you have feminine hygiene products you would like to donate, or have questions concerning the drive, just leave a comment here! I also encourage you to check out Amy's site, www.HousewifeHacks.com and subscribe to her feed! Happy New Year everyone, and happy saving!
