Qdoba: $2 Margaritas
I received an email from Qdoba today that they are offering $2 Margaritas on Cinco de Mayo (May 5th) at participating St Louis locations. I didn't know they had a liquor license.
I love the fine print - Must be 21, valid ID required, dine in offer only. Offer good while supplies last. Of course, I can't believe they have to include that information.
Call ahead and make sure the Qdoba location closest to you is participating.

FREE Comic Book Day - Saturday 5/2
As the name implies, Free Comic Book Day is a single day when participating comic book specialty shops across North America and around the world give away comic books absolutely free to anyone who comes into their shops.
This event is held the first Saturday of May each year. You will receive at least one free comic when you visit a participating store.
Check out the comic books for this year's giveaway.
I took a look at Fantasy Shop's web page. You can have your picture taken with Batman, Robin or Batgirl at their St Charles or South County stores on Saturday. Check their web page for times.
When my oldest son was a preschooler, he idolized Batman and Robin. Now, he's leaving for college in the fall to major in physics. A professor at the University he's going to attend wrote the book "The Physics of Superheroes." My son's passions haven't changed, they have just morphed into something different.
My son works near The Fantasy Shop's South County location. I sure hope he stops in to get his picture taken with his heroes.

Remember:
- Count the number of items you have and the number of coupons you are using. (A register reward is considered a coupon.) The register will not accept more coupons than items you're purchasing. Purchase fillers as needed.
- Always give the cashier your coupons in groups, first Register Rewards, then manufacturer's coupons, and then Walgreens' coupons.
- Only one Register Reward will print per offer per transaction. Split your items into several transaction if you want to earn Register Rewards on each of them. Example: This week if you want to buy more than one Ecotrin and get Register Rewards for each of them, they have to be in separate transactions.
- If you use a Register Reward for the same brand of products, you will not receive another Register Reward. If you use a Register Reward for a different brand of products, you will receive a Register Reward.
- Ask for a rain check if the store is out of a sale item. They don't expire and you can use them at any Walgreens.
- You can use a Walgreens' coupon and a manufacturer's coupon on the same item. Read about Walgreens' Coupon policy.

Better Than FEEE - Ecotrin Asprin at Walgreens
Starting the week of 4/26, get paid to buy Ecotrin Aspirin.
Ecotrin will be on sale for $2 at Walgreens and you will receive a $2 Register Reward. The deal gets much better because a printable coupon is available for $2.25 off any Ecotrin product. (Print in now before it disappears.)
Buy Ecotrin for FREE and receive a $2 Register Reward. I love it when I get paid to shop.
Some Walgreens might not let you use this coupon because it is for more than the price of the item. I wish Walgreens was consistent with how they dealt with coupons. You never know how a Walgreens store is going to handle overage. And it might be different every day or with every cashier.

Wow, it was great fun at Kmart with double and triple coupons. I met Tisha, another couponer, and she had all her coupons in a binder. It was impressive. Tisha even paid the bill on my first trip - 21 cents. I didn't have any pocket change and she couldn't stand that I was going to have to break a $10 bill. Thanks, Tisha
I went to Kmart three times this week. Only paid for Ziploc Sandwich Bags, .19 a box, and full price for a Hartz flea collar. No Hartz coupons in the St Louis newspaper.

Register for Lowe's Build & Grow clinic online. The first 50 kids to register and be present at the store at 10am will receive a kit, apron and goggles.
We still have little aprons and projects from the hardware store at our house. I might have to see what the neighbor's kids are doing Saturday morning. I had as much fun at these clinics as my boys did.
If you can't make it to this week's Build & Grow Clinic, the next clinic is May 9th to build a planter. Registration is open now.
$1 Cheerios' Coupons - Sign Up Now
I love $1 cereal coupons. It's common for cereal to go on sale for just less than $2. I'll be stocking up on Cheerios this summer if I can buy them for less than $1.
And to think, I used to never buy brand name cereal because it was way too expensive. Now, I cringe when I see people buy the expensive "no name" cereal.
FREE Reusable Lunch Bag at Whole Foods
This coupon is exclusively for Oprah show viewers. We all watch Oprah don't we.

Wednesday Promotion at Chick-fil-A
A reader told me about this deal at Chick-fil-A. Thanks, Rebecca.
On Wednesdays, during the month of April, from 3-8, with any purchase, you get a free 3 pack of chicken strips. A cashier told Rebecca, a kids cone for .89 would qualify as the any purchase necessary.
I spoke with a Chick-fil-A manager at West County Center and she told me this promotion might be extended into May. But she didn't know if this was a nationwide deal or just the for St Louis area.
Check Chick-fil-A's restaurant locator for the store closest to you. Call ahead to make sure your store is participating.

Menu Plan Monday 4/20
When the kids where little, my husband and I called the last month of school "May Madness." There were always too many things to do and places to be. Now, with older kids, we realise "May Madness" starts in mid March.
This year, with better planning, I hope to keep the trips through the drive through lane to a minimum.
What are your "go to" meals when it get too busy at your house to cook?
Monday: Chicken Marsala with Linguine (Macaroni Grill kit), tossed salad, garlic bread
Tuesday: Crockpot chili, fresh pineapple
Wednesday: Pepperoni pizza (Red Baron), tossed salad
Thursday: Chicken Caesar Salads (Perdue fully cooked frozen chicken)
Friday: Ham sandwiches, chips
Saturday: Line Cilantro Shrimp (Kashi)
I'm home alone for dinner. I'll finally use the free entree from Kashi.
Sunday: Grilled pork tenderloin, baked potatoes, veggie

If you haven't shopped at Aldi, or it has been a while:1. Make sure you have a quarter to unlock a shopping cart. The carts are like luggage carts at the airport. You rent them for a quarter, and you get your quarter back when you return the cart.
2. Take your own bags. Aldi does not provide free bags for your groceries
3. Aldis now accepts debit cards.
4. Aldis does not accept coupons.
