Expired Coupons - Don't Throw them out!



$176.80 of coupons. DEAD COUPONS. They expire tonight at midnight. SIGH!

It's always hard to let coupons "die" and go unused. In the past, I've always tossed them into the nearest recycling bin but recently learned that Q's do NOT need to meet this sad fate.

Did you know that military families can use expired coupons for SIX MONTHS past their expiration date at commissaries over seas? What a fantastic way to give a little back to the men and women who are giving and sacrificing so much to protect our civil liberties and the basic freedoms were enjoy as American citizens!

I'm setting a New Years Resolution to send all of my coupons to our over-seas troops trough the folks at www.coupsfortroops.com . Will you join me?

You can mail coupons to:

Coups For Troops
c/o Gabby Horton
211 Nicholson Rd
Gloucester City NJ 08030

Coups For Troops
c/o Jeff Busch
PO Box 3220
Saratoga Springs NY 12866

Coups For Troops
c/o Stacey Kornegay
PO Box 527
Glen Echo MD 20812

Coups For Troops
c/o Robin Akers
369 Plymouth St
Middleboro MA 02346


OR go to the following FB page, where they can match you with a specific family that you can mail your Q's to directly.

Also, let us know if you know of another address, or if YOU could benefit from the expired coupons let us know that too! I'm happy to send my expired coupons to anyone would find them useful!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

New Year - New Linens ... HEAD TO SEARS TODAY!


Today is your last day to take advantage of an AMAZING clearance sale at Sears. Want to update your bedroom, on the cheap? I did but I have a King sized bed .... which costs a FORTUNE to cover.

I really lucked out though. Sears is running a HUGE clearance sale of up to 75 percent off, PLUS an additional 40 percent off at the register! HOLY MOLY, did this make for a deal!

I was able to score a King sized Comforter and Shams for $19.99, a King Sized sheet set for $11.98, and a King Sized bed skirt for $12.83 ! I maximized the deal by applying for a Sears card (which I can in turn cancel) because they offered me $15 OFF and I still paid cash for it! That's right, I walked out of there with an entirely new look for my bedroom for only $29.80 OOP!

Pop over and see what you can find!

Yup, you read that right! There are going to be FOUR inserts in the paper on Sunday! 2 Smartsource, 1 Red Plum and 1 P&G. Here is what we can expect, but remember, some may be regional and some deviations are to be expected. I've bolded my favorites!

What's Your Deal?

Summer and I have gotten tons of deals but I have favorites, as I am sure my cohort does. Like the time I went to Stop N Shop with a list of $300 worth of groceries and $40 in my pocket and the transactions cost me $26.93....that felt good. Another one was when I went to Rite Aid and scored John Frieda hair products that were worth $6 and up for FREE!
What are some of your favorite deals? Let us know by emailing us at necouponqueens@hotmail.com we want to hear about your most recent deal and your favorites from the past!
Do you have pictures of your latest haul? Send them to us along with the details and we will discuss them on the New England Coupon Queens radio show (Thursdays at 7:30pm ET) and post them on the blog. Every Coupon Queen & King deserves some credit!

AutoZone Rewards

I was never a car queen, but today I had to go to AutoZone to pick up some parts for my car (which I will be replacing myself *gasp*) and a wonderful man named Stephen informed me about the AutoZone Rewards plan. This having been the first time I set foot in a car store in over three years I had no idea that auto parts places were getting on the membership specials train!
Here is how it works, for every 5 transactions of $20 or more you receive $20 back. They MUST be five seperate transactions though. You cannot buy a part for $100 and get the $20.
As an online signup incentive after receiving your card go to the AutoZone Rewards website, type in your membership number and email. You will receive an email with a temporary password. After signing in you will receive a coupon for $10 off your next $50 transaction.
What I love is that if you are not asked for your rewards card or you don't use it for whatever reason but purchase something you can go to the AutoZone Rewards website, sign in and click on Request Credit. Enter the receipt, store number and date to get credit for your transaction. It will then be cataloged on your account!
The staff at the local AutoZone here in Manchester is wicked friendly and extremely helpful. I appreciated all of Stephen's help he was very informative. He also told me that there are places to get the manufacturer's coupons for certain parts........mwahahahaha.....I will post about that later.

Christmas Tree Shops - a real New England gem

I can't resist posting this! Not to steal any thunder from Beckah's Walmart post .... but MY eyes are fixed on the good old Christmas Tree Shops big sale starting today! Up to 65% off their already rock bottom prices. This is probably my favorite store to just browse around, though I have been accused of running around acting like I'm in one of their commercials! ;)

If you hit the sale before I do, be sure to share your finds!

I usually find that by that time all the cool stuff has been taken but, I've found a few gems throughout the years, so be sure to take advantage!

ALSO TODAY marks GIFT CARD EXCHANGE day as well! I've gotten gift cards I didn't like before, one Christmas I got a gift card for camping gear....yeah...me...camp....not happening. So I waiting till Dec. 26th and exchanged it on the Gift Card Exchange you know how they say that gift cards have no real monetary value? Well today they do!! You can sell your gift card on this website. It's very simple to do!

Step 1: Go to the gift card exchange
Step 2: Enter the merchant and card amount
Step 3: Click 'Get offers' you will receive instant bids for the card from different companies

After Christmas 2011 Sales Flyer Roundup

Did you receive any giftcards this holiday? Are they burning a hole in your pocket? I have one from Kohl's that I'm itching to use. Remember, as with coupons, you really get the biggest BANG for your BUCK when you combine them with an already great sale!!!

There are several to be had starting today ....

I'm most excited about Kohl's - which has a ton of items for 60% off plus 10% off. (Just to avoid any surprises at the register, remember that this doesn't translate to 70% off! :( Example a $100 item on sale would be $40 (with the 60%) and then $36 (with the additional 10% off) instead of the $30 it would be if it was 70% off. )

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM SUMMER AND BECKAH!

One of the great things about couponing is that it frees up funds that you can allocate other places. I saved a TON this Christmas season by taking advantage of online shopping codes and stacking coupons on top of in-store sale prices. The Boy is going to have ONE Merry Christmas in the morning.

We wish you the merriest of holidays!

All our best for a New Year full of savings,

Summer and Beckah
