Good-bye Green Bay


Dear Green Bay Savers,

It has been extra quiet over here at GB Savers for well over a month. I have been enjoying my new baby girl. Little ones really do grow so very fast! During my month "off" we had another new development in our family. My husband got a promotion that will require us to move to Arizona the end of this month.

We moved from Arizona to Green Bay in 2000 and still have family and friends there so it will be kind of like going "home". I thought about running GB Savers from afar, but decided against it. This seems like a good time to back away and concentrate on my family.

If you are looking for a local blogger I highly recommend the Green Bay Consumer site. Jennifer will take good care of you! You can get great local deals without a bunch of fluff and spam. She doesn't re-post all the same deals you can find on big national blogs and she won't tell you every deal is "HOT". You can follow the Green Bay Consumer all the same ways you follow GB Savers: daily email, full RRS feed, Facebook, Twitter, and even Google+!! If you're just starting out Jennifer will even be offering some free coupon classes in the months ahead so be sure to take advantage of those.

While I won't be posting anything new or updating posts I will leave the site up. That way if you want you can read or re-read my how-to type posts. Here are a few of my favorites:
I will really miss blogging here and sharing deals with all of you. I definitely won't be giving up my money saving ways... I'll just be adapting them to my new location!

Thanks for being some of the best readers a blogger could ask for!

Keep saving!

~Shelly~

Bzz Agent: Bill Jac Dog Food

Not long ago I became a BzzAgent. Basically this is a site that you join that offers you free product in exchange for your honest reviews and publicity for their product. I've already been apart of 2 Bzz Campaigns (I got free shoe inserts from Dr. Scholls and now free dog food from Bil Jac). Along with my free bag of dog food I receive several coupons for $10 off 1 bag of Bil Jac dog food that I need to pass out. If any of you readers have a dog and are interested in trying Bil Jac, leave a comment and I'll figure out how to share the savings with you.

As a former Veterinary Technician I am passionate about feeding my dogs a high quality food. Not only does it make them appear healthier (shiny coat, bright eyes, etc) but a high quality diet helps prevent costly health problems (ear infections, skin diseases, etc). Bil Jac is definitely in the "high quality" category and I'm happy to recommend it.

Coffee Deal

I was just checking out coffee deals on Amazon and I came across a good one!

Community Coffee Private Reserve Ground Coffee, Medium-Dark Roast, 100% Chicory, 12-Ounce Bags (Pack of 6)

Normal price $18.37

But if you do Subscribe & Save it brings your total to $15.61

THEN type in the code COMMCOF7 in the "Gift Cards and Promotional Codes" box when you review your order and it brings the price down to $12.85 or $2.16 per bag!!!!

If you've never used Subscribe and Save before you just "Sign Up" to have these items delivered to your home at different intervals (1month-6months). I NEVER have them continue to ship me an item once I've signed up for Subscribe & Save because you never know what the price will be the next time it comes up for delivery. After you've received your order, simply go to your account, click on "Manage Subscribe & Save Items" and click "Cancel delivery".

Amazon can change their prices at any time so scoop up this deal NOW!

Target Deals

I know it's been F-O-R-E-V-E-R since I posted some Target deals, mostly because there haven't been any that were super great, but here's my list for this week and I think it's worth the trip!
  • Photo prints are 10 cents each this week, which is a great deal anyway, but print a $2/20 prints Target coupon and you get them for free! Print this coupon twice and plan on doing 2 orders of 20 so that you get 40 prints for free!
  • 18 Gallon totes are on sale for $5 each.
  • Orbit gum- if you got the latest coupon booklet from Target they had a $1 off 2 Orbit 3 packs, there was also a manufacturers coupon available on the Target coupon site recently for $1 off 1 3 pack. Unfortunately it's not available any more, but if you printed it earlier you could get $3 off 2 Orbit 3 packs
  • Huggies diapers- Target has deal this week that if you buy 3 jumbo packs of diapers you get a $5 Target card. Ask around for those high-value $3/1 coupons (in the coupon inserts in the paper last Sunday) for the new Slip-Ons, stack that with the $2/1 Target printable (not available anymore-this is why you print when you can!!) and you're going to get a great deal on diapers!
Those are the best deals I've found for awhile. Happy Shopping!
