Weekend Giveaway: Pedia-Lax Fiber Gummies – Ends 09/22

September 4th, 2010

Pedia Lax Fiber Gummies

As you probably know, I host a lot of giveaways over at my other blog, Contest Corner. Recently, I was setting up a giveaway for Pedia-Lax Fiber Gummies, and they asked if I would also like to give a second bottle away here on Super Coupon Girl. Naturally, I wasn’t going to pass up a chance to give a prize to a loyal SCG reader!

So what are Pedia-Lax Fiber Gummies? They are a children’s supplement that taste like regular gummie bears, but contain 2 grams of fiber. If you’d like to learn more, you can check out my review over at Contest Corner or visit their website. I’m holding a separate giveaway on Contest Corner also, so if you’d like to double your odds, feel free to enter that giveaway as well!

Here’s how to enter:

1. For your first entry, just leave a comment on this post! Anything goes – tell me your plans for the weekend, share a high-fiber recipe, or just say hi!

Compatibility Issues in Internet Exporer 7 Fixed

September 2nd, 2010

Internet Explorer

Once the move over to WordPress was complete, I got feedback from some readers that were having difficulty viewing the site. After some research, we determined that this issue was only occurring in Internet Explorer 7, due to a bug with how IE7 rendered a property in the site template. We came up with a workaround, so the site should load normally in Internet Explorer 7 now. (There are still some issue with the way IE7 loads Contest Corner, which we are working on a solution for.)

If you have any feedback on the site – or encounter any errors – please don’t hesitate to get in touch!

Shopping Highlights: 500 Trash Bags & 20 Lbs. of Printer Paper for $12.94

September 1st, 2010

Here’s a recap of my most recent purchases:

Paper and trash bags

I got a great online deal on printer paper and trash bags through Shoplet. Last year, Shoplet had a promotion where bloggers who added their button would receive a gift card. I added their badge and received a $40 voucher, which I had been saving until a good use came up for it. We had just run out of printing paper, so I took advantage of a sale on Shoplet for a 20 lb box of paper for $34.99; and since I was down to my last few trash bags from my last trip to Dollar Tree, I used the remainder of my coupon towards a 500 count package of trash bags. After my coupon, the final total for both of these items shipped was $12.94. I’m very pleased, since both of these purchases will keep us stocked up for a long time – the last 20 lb box of printing paper we bought lasted about 2 years, so I’ll be able to print lots and lots of coupons before we need to restock!

Shoplet order

I haven’t been to the grocery store much over the last few weeks. We’ve been working overtime and are just wrapping up some major construction projects, so it’s been pretty hectic around here. August seems to be the busiest month of the year for me!

I’ve made two trips to Safeway recently:

Safeway trip, August 15thSafeway, August 25th

The total for the groceries pictured above came to $55.97. I had to return the eggs because it turned out that they were a part of the recent recall…which I only discovered after we had eaten some of them. Luckily, we didn’t get sick! 😮

$10 Off at Allergy Superstore – No Minmum Purchase + $3.99 Shipping – Gluten-Free Foods & More

August 7th, 2010

Allergy Superstore

Money Saving Mom tipped me off to a good online deal this morning: Allergy Superstore is offering $10 off with no minimum purchase required. Shipping is a flat rate fee of $3.99, and you can also get 5% cashback through Ebates. To get in on this deal, click here to go to Ebates and search for “Allergy Superstore”, then click through the “$10 off any order” coupon. If you’re new to Ebates, you will also receive a $5 bonus for signing up – learn more about online rebate programs be reading my article “How I save Money With Online Rebates”. (You can also click through Money Saving Mom’s link to get the deal, but you won’t receive cashback.)

Not only is this a good deal for those who need to buy gluten-free foods or hypoallergenic products, but for those without allergies as well. I bought one Almay Intense i-Color eyeliner pencil and a Thai Kitchen Rice Noodle Bowl and paid $3.99 total. Your total can be under $10 and it will just deduct the purchase amount – in this instance, I bought $9.28 in merchandise, which is what the coupon deducted. I’m not sure if I will receive the 5% cashback since I only paid for shipping, but I’ll be curious to find out. This was a worthwhile deal for me, because I am particular about my eyeliner – I stocked up on this Almay eyeliner about 2 years ago when there was a sale at Rite Aid, and as luck would have it, I was down to my last pencil when I found this deal. It retails for $7, so getting one eyeliner plus a meal for $3.99 was a fun deal for me!

First Shopping Trip of The Month

August 6th, 2010

Phew! What a busy week this has been! There’s a lot going on right now between work and a big remodeling project, but it’s been a great few days. I’m sad that I had to cancel my planned trip to BlogHer ’10 this weekend, but I knew there was just no way that I’d have time with my jammed schedule this month.

On Monday, I ran to Fred Meyer & Safeway to pick up a few things. Here’s my trip to Fred Meyer:

Fred Meyer trip, August 2nd

Total spent: $17.23
Total before coupons: $23.79
View receipt

Got:

1 gallon of milk – price: $1.99
2 packages of chicken drumsticks – priced at $5.34 and $5.06, respectively; final price for both: $10.40
5-lb bag of flour – price: $1.99
1 box of no-bake Jell-o cheesecake – for a birthday dinner – price: $2.85
1 carton of Sabra Artichoke & Spinach Hummus – regularly $2.99, used one free product coupon that I got through writing a post on Contest Corner – final price: Free!
3 tubs of Yoplait Greek Yogurt – I had several free coupons for this that I’ve been wanting to use for months, and I finally found the product at Fred Meyer! Regularly $1.19 each, used two coupons that I got through MyBlogSpark and one coupon that I got through the Pssst… Network. Final price: Free!

Next stop, Safeway:

Safeway trip, August 2nd


Total spent: $10.98
View receipt

Got:

Another box of no-bake cheesecake mix – I decided that I should get two boxes, since I wanted to make sure we had plenty; apparently, Safeway sells it for $2.99, so I paid .14 cents more for this one!
Half gallon of half & half – price: $3.99
1 cantaloupe – price: $2.00
8 ears of corn – price: .25 cents each, $2.00 for all eight.

Birthday dinner
Cheesecake

So on Tuesday night, I hosted a fun family birthday dinner. I forgot to take pictures of the main course – I often get so preoccupied when I have company that I forget to snap photos of what I made! – but I cooked both packages of chicken drumsticks, the 8 ears of corn on the cob, made a loaf of bread, and the no-bake cheesecake (This was a big hit at Jai’s birthday party, and it’s less expensive and time consuming than making it from scratch!). There was a lot of food – we had a houseful of people, and this is just some of what was left over the next day:

Leftovers

We’ve been eating BBQ chicken and corn all week. Yummy!
