Heads Up! No Coupon Inserts

Since it is a holiday weekend there are no coupon inserts scheduled to be in the paper this weekend. If you buy papers just for the coupons... you can take a week off!

If you ever want to take a sneak peek at what inserts are scheduled just head over to Sunday Coupon Preview.

Reminder: Mega Swagbucks Friday

Search & Win

Just a friendly reminder... it's Mega Swag Bucks day. If you search on Fridays there is a greater chance to earn high value MEGA Swag Bucks.

You can pick up a buck for taking the quick "daily poll" or earn a few by watching a couple videos. You can print coupons from Swag Bucks too.

If you haven't already joined Swag Bucks... it's an easy way to "earn" gift cards and prizes by searching the internet. It really does add up... I traded my Swag Bucks in for $200 in Amazon gift cards last year. (Really helped stretch the Christmas budget!)

Groupon Deal: General Mills Sampler Box


 *UPDATE*: DEAL IS SOLD OUT!**

There is an interesting Groupon offer today... a sampler box of General Mills products with 12 full-size items plus a coupon booklet. You can get it all for $20 shipped. Here is a list of what is included in the box:

12.8 ounce Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal
13 ounce Reese's Puffs cereal
12 ounce Kix cereal
12.8 ounce Cascadian Farms Organic cereal
5.8 ounce Fiber One 90-Calorie Chewy Bars
5.8 ounce Hamburger Helper
11 ounce Green Giant Corn Niblets
9.5 ounce Old El Paso Tortilla Stuffers
5 ounce Fruit Roll-Ups
10.5 ounce Chex Mix Muddy Buddies snack mix
17.5 ounce Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie mix
13.7 ounce Wanchai Ferry Orange Chicken dinner kit

You might be able to get some of these items at better prices at the grocery store but these are definitely not full retail price either. And I have to admit it would be fun to get this box delivered right to your door! Coupon booklets in packages like these usually have higher value coupons too.

This sold out earlier today but has recently been restocked. If you are interested in this deal I suggest you don't wait too long!

There is a limit of two offers per household plus an additional two to give as "gifts". If you've never ordered a Groupon before be sure to read all the fine print!

Make Your Own and Save: Pistachio Fluff

Festival has Pistachio Fluff from their deli on "sale" this week for $3.88 per pound. Regular price is $4.49 per pound. You'll notice I did NOT include it on Festival's deal list for this week. :) Why? You can make your own for a lot less and it's super simple. If you have a child that likes to help in the kitchen they can make it... it really is that easy! Best of all, most of the items you need to make it ARE on sale at Festival this week.

Here's the recipe:

1 pkg. pistachio pudding
1 can crushed pineapple, undrained (Dole brand on sale for $.74 each)
1 container of Cool Whip (on sale for $.89)
1 cup mini marshmallows (on sale for $.99)
1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnut or pecan), optional

Combine crushed pineapple and pistachio pudding mix. Add marshmallows and nuts (if desired). Fold in Cool Whip. Refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours before serving.
