Saving on Printer Cartridges

Image thanks to www.officedepot.com

Printer cartidges...you can't live with 'em (or with the high prices of them, at least!), and you can't live without 'em (especially if you're printing coupons like crazy!). So what to do?

Here are two ways to save on those expensive cartridges:

Office Depot/Staples

Office Depot and Staples offer $3 coupons for each printer cartridge you return to the store (specific brands apply). If you usually buy your cartridges from one of these stores, return your empty cartridges there and save money on the new one. And if you have a drawer full of them (oh, how I wish I had saved mine!) you can really save big!

Thanks to my friend Stephanie for this reminder. Stephanie just started a great new blog, so be sure to click on over to TheCouponGame and welcome her to the blogworld!

Cartridge World

We recently bought our first cartridge refills, and are loving them! As if the low prices weren't enough (1/2 of what I was paying at Walmart - yippee!), the cartridges seem to be doing great and lasting well so far (almost a month). Our local store gives discounts if you bring your old cartridges in with you when you buy your "new" cartridges, and they have many types of cartridges filled and ready to go so that you don't have to wait.

Cartridge World has many locations worldwide, so click here to search for a store in your area. For more information about cartidge refills, see Cartridge World's "Frequently Asked Questions" page.

Any other ideas for saving on cartridges?

Book Giveaway!

Check out this great giveaway at The Homemaker's Resource! It's for "The Complete Cheapskate" by Mary Hunt.

Be sure to enter by midnight on August 1st - and let me know if you win!

$5/$20 Walgreens IPQ - Valid on Thursday only!

Walgreens has just send out a new $5/$20 coupon, good for Thursday (7/31) only!

Now Walgreens is great and all, but Publix shoppers can take advantage of this coupon too! Some Publix stores consider drugstores as "competitors" (I would say so!) and therefore take these coupons as competitor coupons. It can make this week's great Publix deals even better!

If you want want to get the scoop on this week's Walgreens deals, check out Moneysavingmom's post HERE about baby products, MommySnacks posts HERE and HERE, and TheCentsibleSawyer's post HERE about scoring free diapers!

These are a few of my Favorite Things...

My favorite thing for this week is my back porch swing! I received it from my husband for Mother's Day a few years ago and absolutely love it. Even though I'm not an outdoor kind of gal (there's the understatement of the year!), there is something so relaxing about being out there on the swing. My girls and I love to go outside when it rains and swing, sing, and watch the rain. It is such a great place to spend uninterrupted time together as a family. My swing is one of the best gifts I have ever received - thanks babe!

What's your "Favorite Thing" this week?

Every Tuesday, I post about one of my favorite things, and you can too! Here's how:

1. Post about something that makes your life easier, more beautiful, more delicious or just more fun.
2. Please remember to include a link in your post back to Fiddledeedee.
3. Post a link to your blog in the box below!
4. If you don't have a blog but have a favorite thing to share, please comment!

Don't forget to send in the receipts for any qualifying items purchased for the Publix/Kraft Exxon/Mobil promo. The requests must be received by 8/8/08, so be sure to get those puppies in the mail!

Stock up for school at Staples!

To see this this week's Staples deals, check out Alyssa's post at her blog, Kingdom First Mom. Staples is rolling out the deals week after week it seems! One deal that caught my eye was the special price of $.25 for mini staplers - perfect for crafting projects such as this one (oh, and school projects too of course!).

Also check out Moneysavingmom's post HERE about Teacher Appreciation Day. Homeschooling teachers are included!

They're baaack!

Alright, so this certainly isn't in sync with the theme of "Organic Friday" but...

Check out these new Blue Bunny Coupons!
(Thanks to Budget Helps for the link!)

Yes it's true: There are new $1/1 Blue Bunny Ice Cream and $1/1 Blue Bunny Novelty coupons, you can print them multiple times, and they are valid through 10/31/08.

The ice cream is priced at around $3 at Walmart, and I must admit that it is scrumptious. Especially the mint-chocolate-chip, my personal favorite...

CVS - I'm back in the game!

First, I have a confession to make. I let myself get down to $1 ECB. And then....get ready y'all....I lost that $1 ECB and still cannot find it! Ahhh!

On the one hand, this drives me crazy, especially considering that I had over $60 in ECB's at one point. But then I think about the fact that I was able to use those ECB's (instead of cash) to buy supplies for my daughter's birthday party and I feel a little bit better. Then I remember that I haven't had to pay anywhere near full-price (or at all!) for diapers, wipes, toddler wipes, paper towels, bathroom tissue, razors, toothbrushes, shampoo, conditioner...the list goes on...for a really, really long time. And I feel MUCH better!

Now I'm on a mission - earn some ECB's!

CVS came through with inexpensive baby diapers and wipes this week, and that (along with the wonderful people who work at my store) is one of the reasons that I love shopping there so very much.

I happened to catch a minute of Martha this morning while Virginia Willis (author of the cookbook "Bon Appetit, Y'all") was whipping up this delicious looking cobbler. It looked so quick and easy to make, and I love cobblers, so I cannot wait to try this one soon. For all of my sister cast-iron lovers out there, this one's for you!

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens...

Welcome to My Favorite Things!

My favorite thing this week is my Rival Fold 'n Store Griddle. My mom and daddy gave me this griddle for Christmas one year and I am ever so thankful! It is used at least once a week for Pancake Night, but it is also great for bacon, sausage and eggs. I love this thing because it is so easy to use and convenient to store!

Here are some of my favorite features:

• Dual control settings: you can cook bacon on one side at one temperature, and pancakes on the other side at another temperature!
• The trays pop right out and meet my #1 test for kitchen products. They are (say it with me, y'all) dishwasher safe.
• The grease tray: it catches the grease from any meat you're cooking, and makes disposal of it really easy. If you're a Paula-type-cook and keep that bacon grease on hand in the freezer for using on greens and other delicious concoctions, this tray makes the job that much easier!
• You can fold it in half, latch it, and store it compactly.
  

What's your "Favorite Thing" this week???

Every Tuesday, I post about one of my favorite things, and you can too! Here's how:

1. Post about something that makes your life easier, more beautiful, more delicious or just more fun.
2. Please remember to include a link in your post back to Fiddledeedee.
3. Post a link to your blog in the box below!
4. If you don't have a blog but have a favorite thing to share, please comment!
