Baskin Robbins has released a coupon for Buy one cone and get one free on their Facebook page. It doesn’t expire until March 5th, but it probably won’t be available to print for long. To get to it, you need to filter the page to just Baskin Robin and then scroll down.

How to use Target to “Coupon to Disney”:

• This is a list of under $1 deals that are on sale at Target this week. Use it to lower your grocery bill. I set a weekly grocery budget (of say $100) and try to use coupons to spend as little as possible. The difference that is left at the end of the week goes into the fund.

Can you go an entire month without going out to eat? What about a week or a day? Can you cut your dining bill by 20%, 50% , 75% or more? That is what I challenge you to do!

At the end of the 30 days, I will choose one winner who will get $50 to spend however they choose!

How can this help you “Coupon to Disney?”

• Take a look at your current dining out budget. How much did you spend last month going out to eat? That is money that could of gone into your fund instead! Try cutting your out to eat costs this month and adding the difference to your fund.
• Set a weekly dining out budget, if you resist going out to eat, add that amount to your fund instead.
• If you were seriously about to go out to eat (like had your coat on and was going out the door or pulled into the drive thru and then pulled back out), add the amount you would of spent to your fund.
• Going out to eat and using a coupon or paying with a gift card? You could add that amount to your fund too. For example… if you had a $25 gift card to Cracker Barrel and you used it, you could take $25 cash out of your budget and add it to the fund. Or if you used a $10 coupon, you could take $10 cash out of the budget and add it to the fund.
• Be sure to read my Couponing to Disney training series.

The rules:

• You must challenge yourself. Try to spend less than you spend now. If you don’t go out to eat at all, challenge yourself to try new meals this month. As long as you are challenging yourself when it comes to your family’s eating habits, you can participate!
• You must comment on at least 10 days worth of the discussion posts in order to be eligible to win the cash.
• The winner will be chosen at random. It won’t matter if you have been 100% successful or not.
• You are allowed 1 freebie meal that you don’t have to count or report back to us about. Please report on everything else though so we can encourage and support one another!
• Free meals do not count against you. This is a challenge to spend less money going out to eat than you usually spend. If someone else is paying for the meal or you have a coupon to make it free, great!
• Be sure to check out our list of casserole recipes here and the crock pot recipes here and the under 6 ingredient recipes here.

My update

We went to the park yesterday (along with about 20 other families, it was packed!) and afterwards we went to McDonalds and got some cookies. Paid $3 (got me a diet coke).

How are you doing?

New to CVS? Be sure to read Smart Shopping at CVS

Don’t forget to pick up your Green Bag Tag and use it!

How to use CVS to “Coupon to Disney”:

• Save on items that you normally buy. You can usually get free shampoo, conditioner, razors, toothbrushes, etc here. I also find that they have fairly cheap soda too.
• After you have shopped here a few weeks, you will start to build up your ECBs. CVS usually has 1 or 2 ‘money making’ deals a week. By using ECBs to pay for items, you essentially eliminate your out of pocket costs and get everything you buy at CVS for ‘free’.
• Use your ECBs to pay for items that are eligible for rebates. When the check arrives, deposit it into your fund!
• Use your ECBs to pay for items that you were going to pay cash for. Take the cash you were going to spend and deposit it into your fund!
• Be sure to read the Getting Started Couponing to Disney guide!

Create your personal shopping list: Click on the box next to each item you would like to purchase and then click on the print list button at the bottom to print your own personal shopping list! All prices on this list are per item.

Be sure to visit Coupon Katarina for all the over $1 deals this week.
