BLUEBELL COUPON RESET!!!!!

If you have an account at bluebell's website, jump for joy because they reset their $1/1 half-gallon coupon. If you hit your back button, you can print it twice!!! Walgreen's has bluebell on sale this week 2 for $8, so you can get them for $6 each. Just go here and sign in!

Also, HEB has a deal until Tues that if you purchase Bluebell icecream (i think they are around $5-6) you get creamy creations ice cream for free (part of their Texas Showdown), so you could get essentially 2 half gallons of Bluebell and 2 half gallons of cream creations for $8-$10 (depending on what bluebell is priced at HEB)...that comes out to be about $2-$2.50/each!!!!

Believe me, I'm screaming for ice cream!!!

Target Deals

Only a couple noteable things at Target:

Pampers have a deal...not fabulous, but I haven't seen any super great pampers deals lately...they have their large boxes for $29.99 and if you purchase 2, you get a $10. there was a $2 off pampers target coupon in today's paper and then if you have any manufactuer coupons, you can stack with this deal to make it worthwhile!

Smores Deal: There was a $1 off coupon in the paper today if you purchase Honey Maid Graham crackers, hershey's chocolate bars and kraft marshmallows. Target has the crackers and chocolate on sale for $2.50 each and the marshmallows for $.96, so you can get the whole deal for $5.

Igloo cooler deal: They have their 38qt wheeled cooler on sale for $18 and you get a free 4qt cooler ($9.99 value).

SeaWorld Cares Deal

SeaWorld San Antonio is offering a child's admission ticket for $5 with the purchase of an adult admission ticket. You must purchse the tickets online to get this deal. The proceeds from the children's admission ticket will be going to fund non-profit wildlife conservation programs.

HEB deals

Here are a couple HEB deals I found today:

Post Honey Bunches of Oats Cereal: you can get the family size (18oz box) for $2.74 and there is a $1/1 in-ad coupon and then if you have the $1/2 coupon from the paper, you can get Honey Bunches of Oats for as low as $1.25/box.

Genesis Today Juice (this is my latest love...their acai berry juice...soooooo good!): There is a $1/1 coupon from the paper and then HEB has a $.75/1 in-ad coupon. So if you get the Acai, it'll be $4 for the 64oz bottle. If you like the other flavors, it's a bit more than $4 but I don't remember the exact price.

Keebler Club Crackers are on sale for $.98/box
