SUPER HOT! Walgreens Frozen foods clearance!

Julie found this deal at the Walgreens in San Antonio! It is clearanced here in Austin too!
Paid $49.05 for all this and a savings of $134.83!
Didn’t use any coupons either!
So if you are out and about be sure to stop by Walgreens on your way home and snag some of these deals! I shopped the Wags at Crystal Falls and this is what I got! Also, they have an orange tag on these clearance items but the price is NOT correct on the tag. For instance, the Lean Cuisine’s show clearanced from $3.99 to $2.99 but they actually ring up at .90! Be sure to price check an item or two before you buy them.

Happy Friday! It’s Mega Swag Bucks Day!

Today is Friday which means it is Mega Swag Bucks Day! That means Swag Bucks is giving away upwards of 400,000 Swag Bucks today – and you can earn anywhere from 30-1000 for one search.

What are Swag Bucks, exactly? They are electronic bucks that you earn for searching the web – something that most of us do every day! You can then redeem these for items such as Amazon.com gift cards, Starbucks gift cards, plus more. Further increase your chances of earning bucks by referring friends, using the Swag Bucks toolbar, following the Swag Bucks Twitter stream, and reading the Swag Bucks Facebook page.

I have been using Swag Bucks for awhile now, and I love them!

If you aren’t already using Swag Bucks, learn more and sign up here.
