This is an INCREDIBLE deal Groupon is currently running! We just picked it up for the boys!

Like universities, children’s museums provide young people a place to study nature, an outlet to explore their creativity, and an excuse not to have a real job. Procrastinate constructively with today’s Groupon: for $35, you get a one-year family membership to the Imagination Station, which grants basic membership benefits to two adults and all children younger than 18 living in the same household (a $70 value).

The Fine Print

• Expires May 10, 2011
• Limit 1 per person, may buy multiple as gifts. Limit 1 per visit. Must activate membership by 5/10/11, membership expires 1 year from activation date. Valid only for new members or members inactive for 2 years or more. Valid only for membership option. Not valid with other offers.

The one thing that makes me more interested in a brand is interaction. For some reason, it really bugs me to be on Twitter and see brands who don’t follow consumers back, who’s accounts are all auto feeds or they just post links.

One day on Twitter, I received a tweet from JoeShopping. For the life of me I can’t remember what it was but I remember it made me laugh. I started to interact with the account and learned that the tweets were from a guy named Andrew, (and sometimes Adam). He is a very nice and funny guy. (Andrew you still owe me a buttered roll!)

I have been meaning to write this post and was reminded today when I saw their tweet about their blogging contest. Now you are probably wondering what the heck is Joe Shopping? Well, why don’t we let them tell you? “JoeShopping.com is a price comparison site where you can compare prices on millions of products from hundreds of stores to find the lowest price. You can also use coupons, sales and the best deals to make sure you’re getting the best price when you do your online shopping. With shopping blogs, product reviews and a very active social shopping community, JoeShopping.com is truly the place, “Where you never shop alone.”"

I signed up (Totally free) for the website and started poking around. It is a cool website that I would suggest having a look at if you are looking for a place to find the best deal.

I am off to collect my roll now

Disclosure: I was not compensated in any way to write this post.

Who doesn’t like getting all of their favorite groceries at a bargain? I know I certainly do! How do you find your deals? Weekly store circulars? Deal blogs? Friends and family? I personally just look at my weekly ads these days. I used to use A LOT of coupons but I just don’t have the time anymore. Now when I am looking at the ads, I look for in store promotions like Kroger’s current CartBuster savings event! From February 27th to March 12th, customers can get savings on products from brands like P&G, General Mills, Nestle, and Pepsi by visiting the Kroger Facebook page.

Not only are their thousands of items on sale, but, you can also add a bunch or digital coupons to your Kroger card for even more savings! I don’t normally find a to many digital coupons that fit my buying needs but there are some great ones you can load up now. I just added 27 of them to my card! If you have never used Kroger’s digital coupons before, it is simple. Just register (for free) at the Kroger site, enter your card Plus Card savings information and ad the savings you want.  When you purchase any product that you added a coupon for, you savings will automatically be deducted at the end of your order. I personally LOVE this because there is no coupon clipping, not having to remember your coupons, no losing coupons while shopping (yes, I have done this many times)… It is so convenient. There is no excuse why you are not saving a little extra this week with this easy option to save on your favorite brands.

Another way to work with these sales is to plan your meals ahead of time with your sales flyer. I do this and not only does it save me from walking around the store just grabbing things that look good. I already have a list of things I need so I can match that with whats on sale for the upcoming week! Sale cycles for items being on sale  is every 6 to 8 weeks so stock up when you see the deal you can’t turn down!

Also save a few extra cents by bring in reusable bags, I just heard that Kroger gives $.05 off per bag you use. Can anyone confirm this?
