Anyone else feel the same?

My FREE product coupon for Cholula Hot Sauce arrived today! This offer was previously posted on 6/21/17, on HerSavings.com. If you were able to snag one, watch your mailboxes!

If you were able to sign up for the USPS My Style Box Of Joy that I posted about here (no longer available), then your box should be arriving soon if you have not received it yet!

Hi HerSavings readers!  I want to first start off by saying that I have missed you all!!  Thank you to all of the readers who sent me such sweet and heartwarming emails – I missed HerSavings just like all of you, and I could not wait to get back to posting freebies and savings!

These past few weeks have been trying for me health wise, I have been in and out of the hospital, trying to figure out what in the world is going on with me.  The wonderful doctors who took care of me, figured out I was having a really bad reaction to a blood pressure medicine that I was on.  They also found out that I am now a diabetic.  So when you add all this to the Intracranial Hypertension (Pressure in the brain) that I have had for the past 15 yrs, I was in poor shape.

The good news is that I am doing so much better!  I have a wonderful support system with my family and friends, so I feel really blessed!  Thank you to all of you for your understanding and continued support of HerSavings.com, you all make the site worth doing!

Now, lets get busy, I have a lot of catching up to do!!

I was out of Dr. Pepper (scary I know!) and needed Guacamole for the fajita loaded baked potatoes I was making for supper (so yum!!).  I also needed to pick up some decaf coffee for when my Mom visits,  so I made a quick trip to Walmart and used a few of my coupons.  Here’s what I bought:

• 4 Dr. Pepper 2-liters @ $1.18 each
  
• Folgers Instant Coffee Sticks @ $1.00
  
• Yucatan Guacamole @ $3.98
  

Coupons I used:

(2)  Buy 1 Get 1 FREE Dr. Pepper TEN 2-Liter coupons ($1.99 Value) (Still available!!)

(1) $1.50/1 ANY Folgers Product coupon  ($0.50 moneymaker!) (Still available!!)

(1) $4.00 Yucatan Guacamole Coupon (No Longer Available)

And since Walmart allows overage,  I was able to get all items for a total price of only $0.22!!

But,  you can still snag (4) 2-liter bottles of Dr. Pepper 10 & (1) Folgers Instant Coffee Sticks pack  for only $0.24 after coupons!!

You can view and print the Walmart Coupon Policy online. I suggest printing it and take it with you, just in case you need it at the register.

My local Walmart informed me yesterday that they just recently updated their computers to automatically deduct the maximum coupon amount!!  What this means is if your coupon states up to a $1.99 value, but the item is only priced at $1.18, when the cashier scans the coupon, it automatically takes off a $1.99!!  This is such a relief, when the cashier told me this, I wanted to do a happy dance!  It was so frustrating having to explain each time to the cashiers about Walmart accepting overage!  Hopefully your Walmart has updated their computers also, or at least will do so soon!

Since we are talking about Her (or His) Savings, I thought you might enjoy this list of homemade cleaning products I found today on Eversave.  Talk about saving money!  Those cleaning products can be expensive!  But, here are a few you can try at home for a fraction of the cost.

Hey HerSavings readers!!  I wanted to give you all a heads up that there is a freebie offer floating around on many other freebie/coupon sites for a free sample of Miracle Gro.  When this offer was first offered in the past (click here to see legit offer), it was indeed a real & legit offer that I did receive in the mail.  But unfortunately, scammers have created a fictitious site.  Please note that Miracle Gro is a wonderful company with a great reputation and is in no way linked to this fake offer.

So I wanted you all to beware of this fake offer.  HerSavings prides itself on posting only legit offers and keeping you aware of fake ones.

Here are just some of the warning signs:

• Not professionally done.  If you look at Scott’s actual website, you can tell a difference between sites.(Image Below)

• Only one link to the main site (Image below)

• Website address:  free-miracle-grow.com.   (Scott’s does not spell Gro with a w!)

• Also, look where it says:

“Request Your FREE Sample

Millions To Giveaway !! No Postage Required Free Shipping Worldwide“

This statement above gives so many red flags!!  Clearly this was not written by a professional.  See image below…

A little about me.

My name is Stacy and my blog HerSavings.com helps everyone save money with freebies, coupons & amazing deals. I find and then share with all of you the hottest new freebies/deals every day. You will have a feeling of pride when you find out just how much money you can and will save! I know I do! I have been blogging and running my own site for over 12 years now. I love what I do.

A little more about me….I’m a mommy, wife, cook (well, sort of, I do try! I only caught the kitchen on fire twice! LOL!), family accountant, personal maid & a bargain enthusiast. I am a mom of two adorable young gentlemen, ages 18 & 12! My youngest son was just recently diagnosed as being part of the Autism Spectrum, and as of last year, I am a homeschooling mom to my 12-year-old son. I did not imagine myself as a homeschool mom, but us mom’s do what we have to do when our babies are getting bullied and not being supported as they should be. My oldest is a Senior in public school, and I must admit, I am not sure if I am ready for him to leave the nest!! I better start buying kleenex now.

(Yep, that’s me and my Hunny.  See how super cool we are, haha?)

Happy Savings Ya’ll!
