What will I do this weekend? I am thinking that it is time that I get out and shop more. I am staying true to my savings mantra and shopping for free. I am gearing up for an amazing sale on September 27th so I will not purchase very much. I plan on only purchasing the free items. I know that sounds like an oxymoron but its true.

Panera Bread will host the Panera Bread Cereal Drive to Help Fight Hunger on Friday, June 12 from 6:30 a.m. until 9 p.m. at all 15 bakery-cafes in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Customers are asked to donate a box of cereal at their local Panera Bread, and each person donating will receive a coupon for a free grilled breakfast sandwich. The boxes of cereal will be donated to Panera’s Operation Dough-Nation® recipients, North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) and Tarrant Area Food Bank (TAFB). For locations, visit www.panerabread.com or for more details about the food drive, visit www.ntfb.org or tafb.org

This is an amazing opportunity. Being able to give back to the community and share all that you have is an amazing opportunity. If you have recently purchased some Kelloggs cereal with one of the many deals that have taken place, then I am sure you have some wonderful boxes of cereal to donate. Run over to your local Panera and donate as many boxes of cereal as you can spare. You will be able to help someone who needs it and you will also be able to enjoy a delicious grilled breakfast sandwich! Its a win win guys. Thanks so much to Christa B. @ Refund Cents for sharing this wonderful opportunity!

Mark this day in your calendars. I am not going to post a work at home lead in this blog......TONIGHT. I was up burning the midnight oil combining some coupon deals at Walgreens. Where do I get my information? It's no secret that I am a frugal deal watching bimbo. I have started frequenting the I Heart Wags blog and its addictive. This site laid the ground work and inspired the alphabetical order of it all. I am also a Refund Cents member, a Hotcouponworld member, A Full Cup member, a Mile High Club, woooo stay on topic T.Rochelle! Well you get it. I like looking for bargains. I am trying to devote my Sundays to my strategies for savings. Well I used the sites I mentioned and came up with this list.

I know this is REVIEW day so I decided to do a review on a website. Refund Cents is my brand new home away from home. I informed you guys that I signed up the other day but I needed to give you guys an update. I signed up for the online access but a good friend informed me that I really should try and get the magazine as well.

Look at me going on and on about my good fortune as if you know just what I am talking about. Refund Cents is a website the scours the grocery and pharmaceutical weekly ads for all the good deals and matches them up with the best coupons. Then they inform their members of day to day deals, as well as, deals to come! The tips are amazing. You find out how to get free items like toothpaste, cookies, cheese, and I am just talking about today! The possibilities are endless. Do not take my word for it though, check it out for yourself (with pictures too)!

Each month you get:

• a 50-70 page issue
• Information about 100-300 new refund offers.
• 5 page Ad section
• Good Deal Alerts
• 10 pages of “Tips & Talk” featuring reader letters and pictures (Sample: “Reader Pics & Stories”)
• Many, many features and helps too numerous to mention
• Access to all password portions of this site with hottest daily deals

What it costs:

• $30.00 - 14 month print subscription (12 issues) + online access
• $25.00 - 1 year print subscription (10 issues) + online access
• $14.00 - 6 month print subscription (5 issues) + online access
