This is an awesome deal! May I suggest a pair of jeans? I do not know what jeans are made out of today, but they must not have enough of the materials to make them. Well whatever you choose to buy, a 30% savings is still a Great Deal! Just go to Old Navy on Facebook & “Like” them. You can then go under the tab on left that says Hottest Ticket. I had to click it a couple times. This is an in-store deal only!

Zulilly says they are having an on line swimwear event – Check it out here.  They are some really cute items for kids!!!   If you’ve never shopped or signed up with Zulilly I high recommend doing so.  They have different sales all the time and they offer many family friends items!  Sign up is FREE!

Keep couponing~ It will change your life!

I had to go to the doctors this week because my son was bitten by another tick….  Anyway – I snapped a quick photo of all of the coupons that were available in my doctors office.  I just want to make sure that as extreme couponers  you are seeking all sources of coupons everywhere you go!  Doctors offices are a great place for coupons – in the magazines in the waiting room, on displays or at the counter.  Last December when we went to a specialist in Annapolis I scored 3 $5.00 off card coupons for Hallmark.  They paid for all of my gift wrap that Christmas and I found them in the waiting room in various magazines!  Keep your eyes open and think out of the box to save everywhere you go.  You can also purchase coupons very inexpensively here.  Several readers use this service and  Coupons by Dede has received great comments/reviews.

Are you snagging all of these FREE sampels we’re posting here on Family Frugal Fun?  Most of the time they come with high value coupons because the manufacturer’s want you to try the product and then buy more.  Its a great way to get coupons and samples are super convenient for trips to the gym, weekend getaways, and when a guest unexpectedly spends the night at your home.  I posted a picture of the latest goodies that I received via snail mail from Tide.  I was amazed at the size of the freebies!  Yipeee!  These free samples (and coupons) are a great way to decrease your annual budget.  Be sure to take advantage of them.
