Oh My Goodness....Christie is a serious Couponer!

Posted by: Christie over at Big Fat Piggy Bank(and boy does she have one after this day at Walgreens)

"I was really nervous that my meters wouldn't be in today but luckily they were! I have an awesome Wags that will pre-order for me which is the only way you could realistically buy such large quantities. It's a lot of transactions so I did go in early when the store wasn't busy.

This was big "Meter Money Maker Sunday" and aside from that I only picked up a few of the FREE after RR. Remember the Bayer Contour deal is good all week but the Accu-Check was today only. Here's what I purchased...

All You Magazine $0.67 an issue!

There is a great deal on All You Magazine for the next 13 days that was posted on Southern Savers!
From February 1st through the 13th you can get 40 issues for All You for $27.  That’s 67¢ an issue!

These cost $2.40-$2.50 at Walmart and online deal around $15 for 12 issues, or $1.25 an issue, so this price is HOT!

The deal is through a college fund raising program but instead of raising any funds for a group, they are offering Southern Savers readers a $13 refund!!

To Order:

1.  Go here
2.  Click “Click here to support our Group”
3.  Enter your address (if you enter your email, you will also get email confirmation of the order and refund).
4. Pick All You or any other magazine and check out

You will see your $13 credit reflected immediately after your charge on your statement.

(If you want to renew at this price you can just enter your name and mailing address exactly as your current subscription has it.  If you want two copies each month then enter an order under someone else’s name in your house).

Once you order it takes 10-12 weeks to receive your first issue so be ready to wait a little bit.

To get an idea of the coupons in All You look at past issues: February ‘10, January ‘10, December ‘09, , November ‘09

I’ve been told this is only being offered for 13 days or 2000 orders.  Just so ya know.

A Way to Give Back:

They offered me $3 per subscription you guys purchase, but instead I think we should give that away.  So the $3 instead will be given to Harvest Hope Food Bank.   That could end up being $6000 to Harvest Hope!!

eShakti Review!

Posted by: Deal Finding Chick

Have you heard about eShakti.com?! It's a really neat online website that offers unique women's apparel that can be completely customized to fit you! You can change the style of the garment, the sleeves, neckline, length, etc. and they offer from size 0-26W and custom size too! They offered to make me an item so that I could test it out and I chose the black double knit pants pictured above! I gave them all my measurements and within a few days they were sitting at my door! I love the fabric and how they fit..Perfectly! It's really nice getting something made to custom fit you and your tastes! =) You can click HERE to check them out!
