6-month Virginian-Pilot Subscription Giveaway

By Valerie

Sunday, November 27th, 2011

A few months back I took advantage of the Groupon deal for The Virginian-Pilot. (see the listing here)

After a bit of soul searching, I realized that I truly do not need a 4th set of coupons each week. I already get 2 papers and my neighbor gives me theirs. (Plus, I’ve been making a concerted effort to use up my stockpiles, so I haven’t couponed very much this year.)

Now I’ve got this Groupon that needs to be used. It’s for a 6-month subscription and must be activated by12/17/11. If you already have a subscription to The Pilot, a new one will be added. Offer is subject to the terms as dictated by the Groupon deal (see link above).

To enter, answer the following question in the comments section: What your favorite coupon?

Winner will be chosen at random from all entries.
Contest closes 1 minute before midnight Tuesday (11/29/11 23:59 EDT)

*** WINNER – LISA KOLBY ***

Bloom Savings – Day 2 – 3/21/09

By Valerie

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009

Since I spent the morning garage sale-ing with my husband I didn’t get around to going to Bloom until early evening. The Bloom at Centerville & Mt. Pleasant was reasonably well stocked.

I used 20 coupons and spent $1.52. Here’s what I got:

What a deal! I had to buy the chips to bring me to the plus side! $1.52 total.

With so many items generating overages, I let my son pick out some chips (we still have a lot of free sour cream from the last triples!). The chips were at least on sale (2/$5).

Of note: the cashier was concerned about the IP, and called the manager on duty to make sure it wasn’t a copy. I’m glad they are checking them, I hate to think people cheating will cause them to not accept them anymore. I may even take an expired coupon and make copies so they can hang them on the wall and see what the differences are.

By Valerie

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

HotCouponWorld is having a contest just in time for Valentine’s Day.

You’ve seen them mentioned in this blog before, because HotCouponWorld is one of my very favorite resources for couponing. I even have it listed as a resource on my Dolly Domestic business cards.

Anyway, the contest lets five HotCouponWorld members pick their Valentine’s gift this year, up to $50 per prize, not including shipping.

If you know me, you’ll know I’m entering. It doesn’t cost anything to enter, and as with any good contest, you can’t win if you don’t enter. (Ask me about the $15,000 I won from a radio station years ago… they don’t call me lucky for nothin’.)
