Whole Foods Coupons

If you like to shop at Whole Foods, be sure to check out the coupons on their site before you head to the store!

I wish we had one in Rockford, but the closest ones are about an hour away (Palatine or Naperville). But if you're going for a day trip to one of the cities that has a Whole Foods, be sure to print the coupons before you go!

Thanks to The Frugal Girls!

Coupons for toys

Coupons.com has all kinds of Hasbro/Playskool coupons right now! I think there are about 27 coupons on toys and board games. (Once you get to the home page, click on the "Toys and Games" tab on the left). Print them now before they're gone!

Here are what some of the coupons are for:

Strawberry Shortcake
My Little Pony
Mr. Potato Head
Monopoly
Clue
Sorry
Pictureka
Leap Frog
Multiple Playskool toddler/baby toys
Many more

It's being reported that the coupons for the board games do work on the travel editions - haven't tried it myself, but if they do work, that would make for some inexpensive stocking stuffers!

Free Valentine recipe book

Want to make some yummy desserts (mostly chocolate of course) for Valentine's Day? Click here to get a free download of "Sweets for Your Sweet" (in .pdf format). You don't even have to sign up for anything to get it! (If a pop-up to sign up pops up, just close it).

For the ones on a gluten-free diet, there is even a flourless chocolate cake recipe! Yum!

One of my favorite treats are the Black Bottom Cupcakes - you can't go wrong with chocolate, cream cheese, and chocolate chips!

Then there's Tiramisu, special Hot Chocolate, and so much more! Enjoy!

Thanks Frugal Girls!
