Whole Foods coupons for Lara Bars and Dream beverages/ice cream
Whole Foods has a $1/2 Lara Bars store coupon. If your Whole Foods allows you to stack store coupons with manufacturer's coupons, then stack this with the $1/4 Betty Crocker coupon I mentioned here. The Betty Crocker coupon is disappearing on 2/1/11, so download it now.
Whole Foods also has a $1/2 Dream beverages or frozen products store coupon. Stack this with a $1/2 manufacturer's coupon and you'll end up with a dollar off each product. For the non-dairy milks, this usually means approximately 50% off.
Soup's on!
Combat the cold with coupons from Pacific, Imagine and Manischewitz soups and broths. These soups also make fabulous bases for homemade recipes, if you're lazy like I am:
- $1 off any Pacific Natural Foods Soup or Broth (and you can also snag a $1 off Pacific's almond milk as well)
- $1 off any 2 Imagine Soup, Broth, Stock or Gravy. Print two coupons, buy four products and stack this with this $3 off any $3 Imagine products coupon. You'll end up with $5 off your purchase of 4 Imagine products, whose soups usually go for around $2.50/box, so you'll end up getting approximately 50% off.
- $1 off a 32 oz. carton or two 14. oz. cans of any variety of Manischewitz broth (I'll probably buy a kosher-for-Passover version and stockpile it with my Passover stuff).
10-20% off gift cards on Chase Ultimate Rewards
Are you a Chase Freedom Card holder? From now until 3/31/11, Chase is having a promotion on their Ultimate Rewards gift cards. You can redeem select gift cards for 10-20% fewer points than they normally cost. Gift cards included are: Home Depot, Gap, Kohl's, TJ Maxx, Barnes & Noble, Bed Bath and Beyond, CVS (10% off), and Land's End and AMC Theaters (20% off). Details here. I just snagged a $100 Home Depot gift card for 9,000 points (normally 10,000).
We keep about $500 (or more) in Home Depot cards, (which we've gotten from various free promotions and credit card rewards,) up on the kitchen bulletin board at all times as part of our house emergency fund. When our water heater died last year and we needed a new one in a hurry, those gift cards came in mighty handy. We also paid for a huge portion of our kitchen appliance upgrade with gift cards from various appliance stores. Gift cards rewards are the reason we put everything that we can on our credit cards (and then work diligently to pay them off each month). Point sales like this don't come around all that often, so if you've got credit card points banked, now is a great time to cash them in.

25% off Burt's Bees products
So I'm told that there are some women who either don't like jewelry or feel that they have enough jewelry. This is definitely not something to which I can relate. ;)
Be that as it may, gentlemen, here's an alternative to buying your SigOth jewelry next month.
I live in Denver; without hesitation I can tell you that the number one beauty concern here is dry skin. Because the climate is so dry, women here are constantly moisturizing and lotioning. I've had a hard time finding a product that really helps my hands, which are so dry that I am constantly getting little cuts and scratches. At a friend's recommendation, I tried Burt's Bee hand cream, and it worked! I am now a little obsessed with the Burt's Bees product line...I love their lip balm, their scrubs, their soaps and of course, their moisturizers, and I'm always looking for discounts and sales of their high quality products.
I've put together a little Valentine package of BB stuff from Ulta.com.
1. Make sure you click through the Shop at Home link first, to get your 7% cash back.
2. Add these wonderful BB items to your basket:
- Burt's Bees Cranberry & Pomegranate Sugar Scrub
- Burt's Bees Naturally Ageless Hand Cream
- Burt's Bees Coconut Foot Creme
- Burt's Bees Naturally Nourishing Body Wash
- Burt's Bees Chemical-Free Sunscreen SPF 30
- Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer
4. Free shipping (starts at $50).
With your 7% cash back, your total will come to $46.83, shipped, for all six items, or slightly more than 25% off original prices. Not too impressed? Do a little shopper's math: this is the equivalent of a buy-one-get-one-half-off deal.

Frugal consumers interact...and companies respond
I am a pretty vocal consumer. When I like a product, the company hears about it. When I don't like a product, they hear about it as well. Nowadays, with every major consumer product company having a web presence. a Facebook page, a LinkedIn profile and an email address or contact form, getting in touch with companies is easy.
With nearly every contact, I get a response. The smaller food companies will always get back to me quickly, and the larger companies usually have someone in charge of consumer inquiries, and get back to me within a week or so. With nearly every contact, I usually get a (snailmail) letter and a coupon(s). Most of the coupons you get this way are not available anywhere else, and are usually very high value with a long expiration date (some have no expiration date at all). Some are for completely free products. My most recent acquisitions are from Bush's Baked Beans, Smart Balance margarine, and Manischewitz. All were high value coupons that were immediately put to use, except for the Manischewitz $3 off any product ones (I got two), which will come in very handy when I start my Passover shopping.
I'm not suggesting that you write to companies just to get coupons. I'm suggesting that you give feedback on things you like to eat (or don't), and the companies will respond in kind. I wouldn't send a message like "your cookies are really good." Tell the companies why you like them, how your kids who won't eat anything will eat their stuff, how convenient their packaging is, how you like that their ingredients are healthy and contain no trans-fats etc. Give them useful feedback.
Let me know if you have any good (or not so good) experiences with your consumer interactions.
Double points at My Coke Rewards
I particularly like rewards programs that give you what you are spending as rewards; meaning if the program involves accumulating points for buying soda, you are rewarded with more soda (and you can input those points for more rewards). My husband and I are Diet Coke junkies and have been participating in My Coke Rewards for two years. We put all the caps in a drawer and then once a week, we sit down and enter them all...takes about 5 minutes or less, and we've cashed in on about 150 free 20 oz. bottles of DC. Those free soda coupons come in especially handy when you're traveling and are buying soda at convenience stores, which charge a small fortune for cold soda. The conversion is ten bottle caps for one free 20 oz. bottle or three of the 12-packs of cans for one free 20 oz. bottle.
This week, My Coke Rewards is doubling points for all codes that you enter, today and tomorrow (1/26-1/27/11) only. It's a great time to join...email me at frugalskate@gmail.com and I will happily send you an invitation.

Purex HE 50 oz. for $2
If you decided to dive in and purchase a front-loading washer, you will see a significant drop in your water bills, because most front-loaders (including the one in this post) are "High Efficiency" washers. I took the plunge earlier this year when my old model front loader died, and I've never looked back. Not only do I save water (and Colorado, where I live, is a drought state), the clothes come out of the wash just damp, not dripping wet, and so they require a much lower drying time.
Unfortunately, once you convert to a high efficiency front loader, you can no longer use your regular detergent. Yes folks, the one downside to using a front loader is that you have to give your best friend all that regular detergent you've been diligently stockpiling (or better yet, donate it to your local mikvah) because since you will be using less water, you will need to use the special low-sudsing detergent that is labeled "HE." I've found that most HE detergents are slightly more expensive than regular detergents, with one notable exception. Purex has a few low-sudsing HE versions that are consistently cheaper than most others.
If you live near a Rite Aid, right now you can get Purex for $1.99 for a 50 oz. bottle, which is about as cheap as it gets. Make sure the bottle is marked "HE," as not all types of Purex are ok for front loaders. I just stocked up and bought (gulp) 19 bottles of the stuff (and I'm considering buying more...my husband thinks I'm nuts). You can also use the Purex 3-in-1 sheets in HE washers, and here's a coupon to get you started.

Some people won't buy the shoes at Payless because they are, well, cheap. I easily wear through a pair of Payless shoes in a year. But you can get lots of other things at Payless, like accessories. Using this deal, I got two pair of these microfiber tights (it is COLD out there) for $3.30 each (45% off). Here's the math:
2 pairs at $5.99 each = $11.98 - $2.99 (BOGO half off) - $1.80 (20% off promo code) - $0.57 (8% cash back = $6.61 total

Celebrate Tu B'Shvat with kosher dipped fruit from select Edible Arrangements
By now you've probably heard of the Edible Arrangements promotion for a $10 box of a dozen dipped fruit slices (regularly $25), valid this week only, 1/16/11-1/23/11.
Here are the details: fruit selection varies and includes any of the following: bananas, oranges, apples and pineapple. Orders may be placed online, in stores or by calling 877-DO-FRUIT. Customers may order online or by calling 877-DO-FRUIT. Orders placed during promotion period must be picked up in stores no later than Wednesday, January 26, 2011. $10 dipped fruit boxes must be picked up at a local store and are not eligible for delivery or shipping.
But what you might not realize is that Edible Arrangements has over thirty kosher locations in New York/New Jersey/Connecticut/Pennsylvania (and two in California). To find a kosher Edible Arrangements location, click here and look for the words Kosher Certified. If you are on the East Coast, what nicer way to celebrate Tu B'Shvat, the Jewish New Year for Trees, which falls on on Thursday, January 20 this year, than to give your friends these (reasonably priced) boxed dipped fruit gifts. Be sure and check with the individual stores to see who does their kosher certification, and also to find out if the chocolate they'll be using will be dairy or pareve (your friends will want to know both).
Parenthetically, I often use the kosher Edible Arrangements in Brooklyn to send fruit arrangements to my NY friends celebrating simchas, or happy occasions. They have promotions often, and a fruit bouquet is different from the usual fruit platters or flower arrangements....kind of the best of both!
