I got an email today that some Target’s have their Dollar Deals area (right in the front of the store) marked down to 70% off! That means many things that are now 30¢ each!!!
I don’t know if it warrants it’s own trip to see if your store has mark downs, but if you are there be sure to check. Also remember these would make amazing items for an Operation Christmas Child box!
(thanks Emily!)
Still on the hunt for candy deals? Hurry and print this $1.50 off Mars 9.4 oz + coupon! These are small bags, so you should be able to get them for under a buck with this coupon, especially if you wait for a clearance deal.
FYI, this coupon will probably vanish into thin air before the day (or hour) is over.
Note: The coupon says available at Walmart, but this candy is sold elsewhere too!
Who doesn’t like free money?
Tuesday November 1st FedEx is giving away $25 American Express gift cards to the first 30,000 visitors to their facebook page. I know that seems just plain old crazy, but if that’s what they want to do I’m not gonna stop them!
Actually this is in honor of Small Business Saturday November 26th. Their goal is to have all the gift cards ready for the winners to use on that day.
If you are a small business owner check out all the ways FedEx and Amex are helping you promote this day, including a $25 rebate for anyone that shops in your store!

One of the biggest sources of budget strife in our house can be eating out… I have a feeling we aren’t alone in this. I can have the best of intentions with menus planned and a stocked pantry, but then 5 o’clock hits and life is too busy (or feels that way) to take the time to cook. So all of a sudden we are grabbing something to eat on the way to an activity or event.
Ronzoni challenged me recently to change that habit and try adding one meal a week that is a 3 minute meal with their quick cook pasta. Available in Elbows, Penne Rigate and Rotini, there is a Quick Cook pasta option suitable for most any pasta recipe! One thing to note, it is not recommended for baking dishes (for that try out the Ronzoni pre-cooked pasta).
To help you see just how easy these are to use for a quick healthy dinner, I made a short video for ya!
For the full recipe head over here.
The Giveaway:
Ronzoni is giving one Southern Savers reader a “Countdown to Dinner Kit” which including:
$100 Walmart Gift Card
Kitchen timer
Box of Ronzoni Quick Cook Pasta

Zulily has a fun daily deal running right now – get $40 from Tiny Prints for $20.
Tiny Prints is a great place to find and create customized greeting cards for the holiday season, and for any other occasion. My favorite are their little round Christmas Cards that double as holiday ornaments!
This deal is available until October 28th, but your Tiny Prints voucher won’t expire until December 4th – so you have some time to create your cards.
Forget to plan something for dinner tonight??
Today only, Spaghetti Warehouse is running B1G1 entrees on all their Lasagnas, Spaghetti & Meatballs, or Original Recipe Spaghetti Entrees.
