I want you to share with me your successful shopping trips complete with all the details! I share with you my bargain trips, now I want to hear from you! Whether you have a story from your local supermarket, Target, CVS, Walgreens, or wherever, I want to hear about it! I may even feature your story here on the blog! You can even send me a picture along with your brag! Email me your stories at: mysweetsavings@gmail.com

T

his is a super cute idea! You can score a FREE photo of your child with the tooth fairy!

Imagine the look of wonder and surprise when children see a photo of the Tooth Fairy in their very own room! Catch her flying overhead, peering over a pillow or blowing a kiss.

Go here and upload a photo of your child, add the tooth fairy to the photo, and print it out or share it on

email, Facebook or Twitter!

This is normally a $10 value, but you can get it for FREE when you use promo code fairy-proof!

In case some of you are headed to Walgreens this morning, I thought that I would go ahead and post this. Hot Coupon World is

reporting that the Schick Hydro Shave Gel is Rolling. It is $2.99 this week with $3 in RR. Rolling means that you can buy one bottle get a RR and use the RR that you received to get another bottle and still get another RR. This typically does NOT happen on RR deals at Walgreens, and you can expect it to be fixed at some point in the system. So, I would suggest going sooner rather than later if you want to try it.

I cannot get out today as I am still home with a sick little boy. Please report back if you try this deal and I will keep this post updated when they f

ix the system. Hope some of you can get in on the deal! 🙂

**Just wanted to remind you about this coupon and also to let you know that you can score the bags of snacks for $1.39-$2 at most Walgreens, so Free or really cheap snacks! These are also supposed to be very inexpensive at WalMart as well**

Yummy! There is a new $1.50/1 TGIF Snacks coupon available on Coupons.com! Go here to print yours off before the prints are all gone! This is sure to go quickly! (I used zip 33760)

*FYI-these should be found in the snack aisle with the chips*

(thanks, Kristin  and Living Rich With Coupons!)

**Just wanted to remind you that these are on sale now at Publix for $2 a box. Print off the coupon below to get them for just $1 per box!**

 It looks like the $1/1 Uncrustables coupon has once again reset! It did for me! You will want to print this off now as they go quickly!

Starting Sunday, April 10, it appears t

hat these will once again be on sale at Publix for $2 a box. So, with the coupon, they will only be $1! Target and Walmart also sell these for very inexpensive, so print your coupon now!

Did you know that you can order diapers right from the convenience of your own home through Amazon.com? Here are some of the great things that I love about this : 

•    Free 2-Day Shipping on all diapers, wipes, and formula sold by Amazon.com

•    An additional 15% savings through Subscribe & Save, the Amazon auto-delivery program

•    Favorite brands like Pampers, Seventh Generation, Huggies, and Similac

It is difficult sometimes to leave the house when you are sick, don’t have transportation, or whatever else life throw

s your way. I love the fact that with Amazon, I can get diapers delivered to my door in 2 days for FREE!

Here are a couple of diaper deals that I noticed:

180 count box of Luvs diapers (size 4) are $35.88

100 count box of Huggies Little Movers diapers (size 4) are $32.53

144 count package of Pampers diapers (size 3) are $33.49

While I do recommend shopping around and using coupons whenever possible, I just wanted

to mention this idea in case some of you moms and dads out there are unable to go to the store on a regular basis! 🙂
