Good morning and welcome to the last week (part of a week) in July! As a heads-up, the Bargain Advocate will be working a very strange schedule, not coming in until 2 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday, so your updates will be later those days. But until then, I’ve rounded up a few bargains to get you started. Enjoy and look for store deals later today!
• First things first: Happy National Cheesecake Day! If you will be in the Columbus, Cleveland or Dayton areas (generally speaking) today, don’t forget to get your 50% off slice of cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory. Per the Cheesecake Factory’s Facebook page, you can also get a half-priced slice tomorrow if you nab this offer from their timeline. Check locations here.
• Just in time for school lunches: Check out coupons.com (‘household’ category) for two new coupons: $1/2 Ziploc brand containers and $1/2 packages Ziploc bags.
• And speaking of coupons, mommies of little ones should be sure to check out the ‘Baby & Toddler’ category of coupons.com today. There are a lot of Gerber coupons, including: $.75/1 Gerber Organic Pouch product; $.75/1 Gerber Graduates Grabbers; $1/1 Gerber Graduates Yogurt Melts Snacks; $1/2 Gerber Graduates Puffs or Lil’ Crunchies Snacks; and $.75/2 Gerber 2nd Foods (2-pk). (Thanks, Common Sense With Money!)
• You can get four 24-ct boxes of Crayola crayons for $1 from Toys R Us this week, through Aug. 4 (must buy four), or price-match at Walmart. (Thanks, Money Saving Mom!)
• Another back-to-school bargain: Shopathome.com’s daily deal is a Five-Star one-subject notebook (college ruled). The notebook is on sale at Walmart for $1.97. Click ‘Buy It Now’ and go through Shopathome (you will have to create a free account or log in) and the Daily Deal cash back reward is $1.97…hence a free notebook. (If you choose Site-to-Store and pick it up — otherwise you’ll pay $.97 for shipping.) (Thanks, Hip2Save!)
• Central Ohio blogger Cleverly Simple has a very comprehensive list of the week’s best back-to-school deals. Check them out here.
• If you’re a Hardee’s fan and have one in your area, stop by the Hardee’s website to print a coupon for free small Hash Rounds and small coffee with purchase of a Bacon Bacon Biscuit. There’s a box to check locations on the top of the site.
