I’m no iJustine (she’s one of my girl crushes) when it comes to making videos, so bear with me as I attempted to make a Fast Freebies video (had a few technical difficulties). Anyhoo, here’s the freebies I covered…
Kmart is having double coupons again! The website advertised only up to 75¢, but when I called to verify, I was told it was a misprint and that they were doubling up to $2.00 again! Woohoo! Most of the free stuff I got was repeats from my last trip that I detailed here for you.
Another Kmart deal that’s not totally free, but a great deal…
2 liter bottles of Sierra Mist are on sale for $1 and there are printable Buy One, Get One Coupons making them 50¢ each. I bought some even without coupons to use for punch/drinks at my son’s graduation party.
The punch recipe I use is always a big hit at our family gatherings among all ages… Raspberry Sherbet, Pineapple Juice and Diet 7Up (or Sierra Mist, Sprite, off brand lemon/lime soda. I prefer Diet as it’s not quite as sweet, but regular can be used as well).
For the adults, I’m also making Cherry Vodka Slush, which consists of 9 cups water, 2 cups sugar, 12 oz frozen concentrated orange juice, 12 oz frozen concentrated lemonade and 1 quart cherry vodka. Freeze together. Scoop and serve with same soda as above (again I prefer Diet).
Have you heard of CelluScience that actually reduces cellulite? I’m going to try it, and you can too for free by visiting StealTheStyle.com.
