$2 Off 2 Jumbo Packs or Off 1 Big Pack of Huggies Supreme or Huggies Snug & Dry

Organizing The Coupon Game

In my attempt to organize my posts and deals on this blog, I have decided to get into a weekly schedule of what you can expect to find at The Coupon Game each day. You'll find my schedule on the right hand side in the green section. Although this is my new schedule, I will still be posting the latest and greatest finds as I come aware of them in order to pass the savings along to you!

But to give you a better idea of what you can expect, here's a brief summary:

... on Monday
After Sunday's coupons come out, I'll highlight any new deals to be had using the new coupons or any deals that have come to light over the weekend.

... on Tuesday
There are always great Giveaways and Sweepstakes online, so if you love to win free stuff, you'll want to check out Tuesday's post! Who knows, you might start finding some giveaways here at The Coupon Game!

... on Wednesday
Rather than showing Freebies throughout the week, this will be an easy stop for you to grab your freebies each Wednesday - all in one place.

... on Thursday
Since Thursdays are my Publix shopping days, you will continue to see my weekly deals at Publix every Thursday.

... on Friday
I hope to come up with a weekly Money Saving Tip that will help you (and me) save money outside of couponing. There will be a linky and I hope that you will participate in sharing your ideas!

... on Saturday
I have started a new post for the "Best Of" CVS and Walgreens Deals. This is to give you a preview of the savings you can find starting on Sunday of each week.

... on Sunday
I'll be hangin' with my family. Everyone needs a day of rest.

Restaurant.com is offering yet another 80% off sale on Gift Cards! For a limited time you can purchase gift cards for 80% off Restaurant.com's prices. This ends up being a fabulous deal!!

80% off Savings on Dinner of the Month Club Purchase. Code SURPRISE. Valid only 11/18/08 thru 11/20/08.

When you visit the site, it will show their original prices, however, when you use the code SURPRISE at checkout, the new 80% off price will be reflected.

There are some rules in how to use these gift cards:

1. The gift card will print out of your printer. It is not an actual "card".
   
2. You must purchase a certain amount at the restaurant above the amount of your gift card. So think of it as $2 for a $25 gift card, then adding some $ out of pocket. Each restaurant's gift card may have a different stipulation. See if it's worth it for you!
   
3. Only 1 gift card is allowed per dining table. If you're out with friends and they also want to use a gift card, only 1 will be allowed.

Not feeling well...

I'm sorry that you have not seen this week's Walgreens post from me. I have been dealing with some back pain and it's hard for me to sit at the computer for long periods of time. I'll continue to post snippets of information throughout the week, but it may not be until next week that you see a Walgreens post. Check out my other Fabulous Frugal Bloggers on the right hand side of this blog as they are GREAT at catching lots of deals!

Sharing Holiday Cookies! - Christmas Sandwich Cookies

These are a recent favorite of mine! They have a less sugary taste and are quite addictive.

These come out looking just like Harry & David's yummy variety!
Picture from Harry & David

Christmas Sandwich Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
• 2 tsp milk
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1/8 tsp salt

Filling:

• 5 Tbsp raspberry jam (or whatever flavor you like)

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, cream butter, confectioners' sugar and milk. Combine flour, cornstarch and salt; add to the creamed mixture, beating just until dough forms a ball.
2. On a lightly floured surface, knead 20 times. Roll out to 3/8-inch thickness. Cut with a 2-inch round cookie cutter. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
3. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-13 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
4. Spread jam over the bottom of half of the cookies; top with remaining cookies.
5. You may choose to frost the tops with a decorative look. I like them without frosting myself!

I used another $10/$50 CVS CRT that I just received, and also purchased today's paper with a $5/$30 Publix Q on the front. Publix was selling these! So, I received an additional $15 off with these coupons.

I noticed that I missed a few coupons in my deals today, but that's the great thing about Publix. They will allow me to bring my receipt back with the coupons, and they'll give me cash or credit back my card for them! Gotta love Publix!!! I went ahead and still posted with the coupons that I missed. Happy shopping!

As always, the items listed in purple are my best deals of the week.

Inexpensive Thoughtful Christmas Gifts

Tis' the season! I love giving baked goods as Christmas gifts, and they can be inexpensive if you shop the deals, however I've been wracking my mind to think of other thoughtful gifts to give this Christmas...

I love the post HERE and HERE from Gayle at The Grocery Cart Challenge. And now, it's got me thinking that I'd love to come up with some thrifty gift-giving ideas.

I've a got a few ideas, but I'd love to hear if you have great gift ideas of your own. Please share them in the comments.
I know there's got to be creative people out there! :)
