UPDATE: FREE Crystal Light mixes at Meijer!

Today I went grocery shopping. This is a big deal. It has been a very very long time. I had a lot of fun with my Meijer mPerks, coupons and sales! As I told you a few days ago, you can get Crystal Light for $1(wyb 8 or 8 participating items, see here). Stock up price. BUT then I found a coupon for $1/2...and then when I bought 6, they gave me a printed coupon for $3 off my next purchase at Meijer. (Buy 2, get $1, buy 3, get $2, buy 4, get $3!). So I had 6 containers at $1 each, then 3 coupons for a total of $3 off and then a $3 coupon printed out! Head here for the Crystal Light coupon. It's on the Target site but its a manufacturer's coupon. Mine was on page 3 of grocery.

TCBY, BWW & Espresso Coupons for CU!

Do you get the "Fistful of Dollars" magazine in the mail? You might toss it with the rest of your junk mail. But, this month, I suggest you look through it. Three places that stood out to me are shown below. If you haven't been to TCBY yet, you are missing out. And now you can take a friend for free!

SUPER CUTE Washi tape- (decorative tape!)

This stuff is just too cute! I saw it and knew I wanted it. But with crafty things like this I have a few friends that I seek confirmation from before I purchase. I got double approval and they bought it too! Now to dream of all the things I will make cuter with a simple piece of tape :) Check it out here! Just $1.50 a roll with shipping at $3 for up to 18 rolls. To make the shipping worth it, you might need to buy the whole set...at least that's how my logic worked :)

$5 Free with Meijer MPerks plus great deals- $1 Crystal Light & More!

I've talked about Meijer Mperks before but I know some of you have delayed in signing up. Maybe today is the day that will get you to sign up. If you have an Mperks account, there is a facebook offer that will give you a free $5 towards your next purchase! Head to Facebook, "like" them, use the offer code "facebook" on your Mperks page and then clip the $5 offer! Must be clipped today but can be used until the 23rd. After that, check out these sweet deals:

This is one of my favorite kind of sales at Meijer. STOCK UP PRICES! The standout items for me are the Crystal Light mixes & Kraft Cheese- but to each their own. If you host people a lot- you can't beat Crystal Light mixes. There are 6 packets in each container. Each packet makes a 2qt pitcher. SO EASY. And for $1 - that's less than $.20 a pitcher. Also, since you are an mPerks member now, clip the kraft slices coupon for $1/2 and your cheese is now only $1 each! Sale starts Sunday! 

Also, worth mentioning are grapes for $.99 & chicken for $1.87.

Journal Giveaway TODAY!

Ok, time for my first giveaway! I'm excited about it :) Back at the end of last year, I told you about a company called Minted. I love their journals. You can personalize them with names, pictures, words, etc. They are a perfect little size to carry around with you and the paper is great quality. Have you searched through the journals yet? Just go look. You will want one or want to give someone one. Ok, now you are wondering, how do I get a journal? Great question. 

You will be entered to win one of three journals by doing the following things: 
A) "Like" Your Frugal Friend on Facebook & share about the giveaway or another deal.
B) Follow @yourfrugalfriend on Twitter and retweet about the giveaway or another deal.
C) Become a follower of the blog & leave a comment. 
*if you already follow or like, just do the comment or repost and you'll get the credit. You can be entered in the drawing up to 3 times.

*Contest ends Thursday at 10pm. I will post the winners on the blog and contact you via facebook or twitter.  Be looking at the journals in preparation. I'll be ordering them ASAP due to the pending arrival of my baby girl :)

I also wanted to give a little shoutout. The "Wishing, Hoping" journal was designed by my sweet friend Mariel. She has a little shop of her own that you should check out, Mariel Joy Designs!  If you need invitations, she is your girl! Great quality at a great price!

Lastly, if you find yourself falling in love with things on Minted, they have a referral program where you and your friend who signs up through a referral link gets $25 credit. It has changed now where you have to order $50 worth of paper goods to use your credit (just FYI, they decided they wanted to actually make money :)). But still a good deal if you are finding things you want!
