Deals That Have Caught My Eye

Cascadian Farms
  If you go to their website and join their mailing list you get a dollar coupon.  Otherwise you can go to the coupons.com, link on the right for a $.75 cent coupon.  I think it's best to avoid any processed cereals or make your own, but hey, we don't always have time, or we just used up our last frozen waffle.  So, although this is still a processed cereal, at least it's organic, meaning less pesticides.

Thanks to WeUseCoupons for this.

CVS
   If you do couponing in CVS, do not forget to use their coupon kiosk as from what I'm seeing you never know what kind of coupons it's going to kick out for you.  You scan your card and keep scanning it until it stops giving you coupons.  Check it out.

JCPenney
   JCPenney has a $10 dollar off $25 Coupon.  If you plan on going over there this weekend, it expires on Monday, take this coupon.  It's not a favorite place for us to shop, but we have found a few things to make it worth our coupon.  Last time it was clearance socks for the little guy.  Another time it was cargo shorts for a guy.  Can't beat getting $10 bucks off your purchase if you actually need that item.  This is one of those times when you shouldn't rush out to save $10 bucks if you don't need anything.  It's cheaper to stay home.

TGIFridays
  They have a Give Me More Stripes program.  If you sign up HERE you immediately get a coupon for a free appetizer.  If it was me, I'd hold out for the buy one, get one free meal coupons they send to you.
It's not the healthiest place by far, but if your out and about, want to avoid a regular fast food place, the coupons are usually pretty good.  You get a card that is supposed to be scanned, so then you earn points for more coupons.  Here's the deal, (only relating my personal story), is when we pulled our card out they looked at us like we were from Mars and said we didn't need it.  Only later did I find out that I have zero stripes in my account because of the "servers" there not wanting to do their job.  Oh yeah, I have contacted corporate and complained.  I almost can't wait to see how it's going now.  They wrote me back promptly, but did not offer to "give me my stripes" for which I had a receipt/proof.  They also will not give you a receipt unless you specifically ask for it, which I did.  Again, it put them into a bit of a quandary over a receipt.

7-11 Day
   Don't forget, every year on July 11 you can get a free Slurpee.  Okay, not worth driving out of your way, in fact, I very rarely drink out of any fountain drink area where people fill it themselves.  Not to be overly phobic, but a string of things I happened to see kind of "changed" my mind a bit.  First time, I was at the free 7-11 deal, we were buying gas anyway, so I ran in for the freebie.  There was a group of kids hanging out there, putting their mouths over all the nozzles and turning on the machines and "testing" them.  I complained to the owner/guy at the counter and he didn't seem to care.  He pretended to be busy.  The next time, I was at a station on the 76/I-15 area.  A bunch of "big" dudes sauntered in with their Gatorade bottles which looked like they'd seen a lot of use (the bottles that is) and proceeded to put their nasty disgusting bottles up over the nozzles of the soda drinks.  Not once, but many times.  They'd glug down their drink, fill it up, drink again.  I decided to get something out of the cold case, sealed up in a bottle that day.  Yep, I pretty much do it that way, or bring my own.  For those who aren't like me, every time you pass a 7-11, get your free Slurpee.

Free Einstein Bagel Poppers
  Just follow the link.  I used to get their emails, but unsubscribed after I tried their bagels.  I mean, I got an entire dozen for free and we used them for hockey pucks.  The thing is, they aren't bad the day of, by the next day they are harder than the rocks in my yard.  So, I suppose a few free bagels are good, as long as you eat them right away.  These bagel popper things don't look too bad, maybe worth trying.
