Wishing you a safe and happy Independence Day!  And, Happy Birthday America (in my Bernie Mac voice)!

Keep in mind that in order to get these “free” items you must purchase an additional minimum amount.  But you are allowed to combine all of the free coupons, so you will be required to only make one additional purchase.

For example:  You have 2 coupons for 2 different FREE items that both require you to purchase an additional $5.00 of items.  You can buy some stuff for $5 and use both FREE coupons!

If you have signed up for Earth Fare’s text messaging program, you should have received a text for a FREE 4-pack of Earth Fare brand frozen Veggie Burgers.  If you did not receive it, just write down this PLU number and give it to your cashier:  PLU 80064.  This offer is good for TODAY, June 12, 2012 ONLY!

Remember, you don’t have to print the coupons either.  You can either show it to them on your phone, or write down the PLU number and the expiration date (at the bottom of the coupon).

Please take some time to say thank you to those who have served our country past and present, and pay tribute to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for us all (even if it’s only in your head).  Remember, freedom isn’t free!

Have a safe and happy Memorial Day!

Have you used any of the new convenient laundry detergent packs?  Do you have small children in your home also?  If so, you might want to move them to a higher spot.

There have been 122 incidences in just 3 states reported to poison control centers regarding young children ingesting these laundry packs.  Many kids mistake them for candy since a lot of them do look like some ribbon candy.

Many detergent companies are currently working to make a more child-proof container in order to prevent children from getting into the package in eating detergent packs.

Go here to read the entire story.

This is just a reminder that there will not be any coupon inserts in this Sunday paper.  It is important for those of you who buy extra papers just for the coupons!

Today, May 23, 2012 is Free Slurpee Day at 7-Eleven stores.  No coupon is required.  You will receive a 7.11oz. Slurpee in the flavor of your choice for FREE between 11AM – 7PM today only!  For more details, go here.

I will post again.  I will post again.  And regularly at that.  Really.

Wish you all a very merry Christmas!!
