Cheap Seats December Coupon!

 Hi all, 

Here's another great coupon for the cheap seats! Happy movie watching! 

Free Day!!

Hi All!
I just wanted to write a little post about the up coming free day!

If you live in Winnipeg or around here you need to check it out! I do it both in spring and fall and always find all sorts of great stuff!! It's great because we're just "starting out" (new house) and it helps out a lot without having to buy all sorts of things.

The way it works is people, starting Saturday morning (May 14th) put stuff out on the curb that they no longer want and anyone came just come by and pick it up. It runs through till Sunday night but I find that most of the good stuff is Saturday morning into early afternoon.

I've gotten a lot of garden stuff, some clothes, lots of kitchen things (including a blender, salt stone lamb, ipod dock, bowls, plants, utensils and a set of hand blown ice cream bowls) and lots of books!

It's a good time! You should at least go for a walk around your area and see what people are putting out!

(The fall one is usually around September 10th or 11th FYI :)

May Movie Coupons!!

Here's the May Cinema City coupon! It seems like forever since I've been there! And I'm hoping with the nice weather I won't be entertained with movies but rather the outdoors very soon!

In the mean time check out my Movie Reel posts for some great movie ideas!

Happy Hour- 50% Clothes

The Sally Ann has 50% off call clothes in the store every Wednesday between 6-8pm. They are starting to add different types to this time as well but that's TBA. 

I just got three great dresses and a sweater from there! I'll be posting about them soon :)

Free Starbucks

On April 22nd if you bring in your own travel mug you get a free brewed coffee. I'm only writing this post because I know a lot of coffee lovers out there (I'm married to one)...I don't drink coffee, so this means nothing to me...if I could get a blended strawberry lemonade on the other hand, I think I would go to every Starbucks in the city!

99 Cent Teen Burgers!!

Pretty great deal right? You can only use one per customer, and you can only print out one per account, but I opened up a few accounts (me, my husband, my business etc.) so I have four coupons. I'm pretty excited! 

If you haven't checked out Go Deals yet you need to!

Dine About Winnipeg: Chocolate!!!

I can't wait to try some of these! I hope I get to go to a few! Check out the Ciao website for more details.

Ice Cream for 33cents!

If you live in Winnipeg, or in the area this is a great deal! Go Deals has been having a lot of really great offers lately! I am signed up for pretty much every coupon and 50%-90% off site there and when I saw this one I was like "Oh another one? Aren't they all just going to offer the same stuff?" but so far they have had a lot of coupons like this as well which I really love.

If you're not signed up with them already you really should!

National Pancake Day

Today is national pancake day at Perkins. You get a free stack of buttermilk pancakes. They ask that you consider making a donation to the Give a Wish Foundation.

Pancakes and helping kids, two very good things!

March Movie Coupon!

Here's the March movie coupon for Cinema City! $2 tickets are my best movie friend! (Maybe other then Netflix)

Kernels: Buy one get one free Tuesdays

I had a $5 gift card for Kernels from a Christmas party and I had a buy one get one free coupon from my Show and Save so I went to get myself some almost free popcorn. The lady asked me if I wanted to buy one large and get one free. Did you know that every Tuesday they have that? You buy one large you get another free. Pretty great! I stuck with my coupon, which was for a medium (still a very good amount of popcorn) and got my two bags for $3 instead of the $16.50 it was going to be.

Next time you have a craving for this expensive stuff make sure you go on a Tuesday!

Happy budgeting!

$2 off Softlips Coupon

If you like soft lips here's a $2 off coupon! I'm still working through my mass collection of lip related products. Man, it's amazing how much you can accumulate! I've stopped letting myself buy any until I use some up a lot of the 20 different variates that I have!

I want that $5 Amazon gift card!

Have any of you tried out Swag Bucks yet? I heard about it and thought I'd give it a try. For me so far it doesn't seem like a very effective way to get points unless I buy my Groupon or Team Buy coupons through Swag Bucks in which case I can get around 400 Swag Bucks which gets me pretty close to that $5 Amazon gift card (who doesn't love amazing?!). You can watch their Swag Bucks TV, do surveys and all sorts of other stuff too but right now that seems like way too much work for the small amount of points you get. It's a good thing to do when you're board though, that's for sure!

Right now I'm at 44 points. I'm just waiting for there to be a Groupon I want to make it worth it! But if you think about it; if you were going to buy the Groupon anyways why not really capitalize on this couponing thing right? Even more bang for your buck!

Ciao! Dine About Winnipeg Again!!

I'm really excited about this!! A bunch of great places, $25 menus? How much better could it get? I try to go to at least one of these when they have a Dine About Winnipeg. I missed the chocolate desert one, I hope they have it again. My dinner club is going to Cafe Dario next Monday! Don't worry, I'll have a restaurant review for you after!

Olive Garden $5 off 2 Entrees

I like Olive Garden but I think it's over priced for what you get. What to do? Well I don't go, or with a coupon like this maybe a would. The way it works is you get either $2.50 off one meal or you go with other person and get $5 off 2 entrees. Limits print volume so get your coupon quick!

Jewelry Give Away!

So I decided that I have this huge collection of jewelry that I’ve made and it’s just sitting there. I’ve tried having an etsy site, but I’ll be honest, I’m just not dedicated enough to make that really work for me.

What to do? Have a give away!

I’m not too sure how often I will do this but I’m just warning you now, in a few days will be the first! I’m excited!

I have all sorts of stuff so I wanted to hear from you all: What do you want? If there could be one piece you’d like to add to your collection what would be it be? A new bracelet? Some vintage earrings? Try me, I might have something just for you!

Leave me a comment with “requests” and check back in a couple days for the first of many give aways!

Winniepg Library: Free Kid's DVD Rentals

For those of you that frequent the library I'm sure you know this but for those of you that don't I thought I would let you know that kid's DVD rentals are free at the library (regular ones are only $2.10 FYI).

I was just there picking up a few things. I had requested The Christmas Carol (the Jim Carrey one) and was waiting for it. And it just happened to be what Marshall wanted to watch today (after getting his wisdom teeth out) and it just happened to be ready for pick up too! So nice when things work out like that! Free is way better then $6 at Blockbuster or on Video on Demand!

Ok, so this might be lame but I have these coupons and I'm not going to use them so I'd like to give them away.

They are from Cineplex so they'll work at the "cheap seats" or Silver City.
