Dawn wrote today, with the following great reminder:
For those who became fans of Babies R Us on Facebook and received your $5 gift card (I had myself, my husband, my sister, her boyfriend, my mom and my dad all become fans). The gift cards must be spent by 2/20 and they are having a huge Presidents Sale this weekend – go to their website to check out all their coupons for the weekend and opportunities to get more gift cards.
Thanks for the timely note, Dawn!
Jocelyn wrote about a great Excedrin Freebie:
I found this link to a coupon for a free bottle of Excedrin:
http://www.excedrin.com/offer.shtml
Just DON’T pick Excedrin on the quiz. Fill out your info, and it says it will send out a coupon in 4-6 weeks.
Thanks, Jocelyn!
Shayna wrote about a great toy score in the clearance section of the Eagle River Walmart. She found some Strawberry Shortcake marked way down (over in a special clearance section by the pet food). She was able to combine the deal with a $5/$20 from coupons.com too! Shayna sent a picture of her loot, too! Thanks Shayna! We love seeing all the great scores you all find.
Amanda R. wrote us about the “Dollar Days” sale at Scholastic Online – through the 28th of the month they have a big selection of their books marked down to $1. Here’s the link. Thanks for the fun find, Amanda! Books are always very popular around our home, they make the best gifts.
Lastly, from Amanda S! She wrote to let us know about another fitness option for those of you looking for a gym – Body Renew. They have branches in Anchorage and Wasilla, and Eagle River is just opening. She says:
They have a deal of $49 to join and $29 a month with a contract OR its $39 a month no contract (and its 24 hours). They have some free classes included each month in that. They have a nice website you can look at with 3-d tours and the whole speal. And? For $20 a month you can have day care up to 2 hours a day or $30 for a punch card of 10. They also have trainers and nutritionists but they are spendy…
Amanda just joined, she’s going to report back on how she likes it. Thanks for the tip on this fun/affordable sounding option, Amanda!
This list is a bit late (I think the March issue will be out soon, yikes!) but if you get All You magazine it can be nice to have the reminder to check out the coupons in it. I subscribe to the magazine ($20 for 2 years through the school magazine drive – great way to support your local schools AND get some killer coupons you won’t find anywhere else!)

At long last I have the date and time for out Hygiene Kit Assembly Day. We will be meeting at 10:00 in the morning on Saturday the 30th at the Maplewood LDS Chapel. Here is a list of the items that we are collecting (we are short on the items with stars):
South Anchorage
Bountiful Family Bookstore
Note: this post will stay ont he top of the page all day, scroll down for other posts.
I am sure that by now most of you have heard about the disastrous earthquake that hit Haiti. I couldn’t stand to look at the pictures and footage of the devastation and my heart truly feels for those who are suffering. Kara and I have decided to try to help out in the little way we can by putting together hygiene kits to be sent over. It may not seem like much but I would think that when you have nothing, the little things like soap and toothbrushes can make just a little bit of a difference in your comfort. We know that our Divas out there have large supplies of things like toothbrushes and toothpaste so we are asking you all to help out in whatever way you can. We are setting up drop off locations around Anchorage and one in Wasilla that we will be collecting from next week. At that time I will have a group of ladies from my church get together to assemble these kits (anyone will be welcome to come, I can post the date, time and location if anyone else is interested in joining us).
South Anchorage
Bountiful Family Bookstore
And one more thing, if you leave a comment on this post we will donate $.25 for each one! Let everyone know to come and say hello and if you are doing something to help, let us all know about it!
*FYI: These are not going through the Red Cross but through a religious group and all shipping and transportation has already been arranged*
I’m loving all the email we’ve been receiving, thank you for sharing your great finds and tips with us! We love the community synergy we have going here thanks to all of you!
Kelly wrote us with a super simple Crockpot Chicken Burritos recipe:
(Feeds about 5 people)
2 Chicken Breasts (Put them in frozen!)
2 14oz. cans of chili beans in chili gravy
1 Cup salsa
Throw it all in the crockpot- you can put the chicken in frozen!! Cook all day on high- 5-6 hours or so minimum if the chicken was frozen. Right before serving, take the chicken out, and shred it, then stir it back into the crockpot. Serve with tortillas, cheese, lettuce, onion, tomato, sour cream- whatever you like on tacos.
Sounds super simple, I love it! I have some leftover tortillas this week so I might be trying it very soon.
Kelly also gave us a great Borders tip:
I was at Borders today, and they had some great toys for 75% off- then I used the $10 off a $30 purchase coupon to make them even cheaper! They had some ty beanies- the bigger ones, some games, big bubble makers, bath toys, puzzles, and a few craft items too. I walked out with three bags for $21.75. My reciept said I saved $105.
Lastly? Go to www.chunky.com to get $5 in Campbell’s Chunky Soup coupons.
Thanks for all the great tips and the recipe, Kellly!
BreeAnn wrote us on Facebook to let us know that the music store in the 5th Ave mall is going out of business. Everything in the store is 50% off – movies, music, both new and used and everthing else. She says it’s looking a little picked over already, BUT – if you’re heading to the mall anyway check it out! Thanks, BreeAnn.
One last note! I headed down to the Alaska Cake Studio with the kids (quite the adventure) earlier this week, and can now state that I 100% recommend the cheesecake brownie. Delicious!
From our inbox:
Kelly wrote to give us a heads up that the Weight Watcher Smart Ones meals, which are on sale for $2.29 this week (and buy 10 get a $5 gift card) have some coupons for $4/5 on them. So you can get them for $1.40 each, even without bringing any coupons WITH you to the store. Thanks, Kelly!
Annie wrote us about the Tide website – thanks for the coupon tip, Annie:
http://www.tide.com/en-US/offers.jspx
you can sign up to become a member of P&G Everyday Solutions, then you can get coupons and free samples (I ordered coupons for Tide–will be mailed–and samples from Always and Tampax)
Lastly, Tasha wrote about 2 samples:
One of them is already gone – yikes, sometimes they go fast!
And a a free sample of Ivan Mogs Caramel Apples (Alaska is in the dropdown, at the bottom of the page it does state continental US only – frankly it looked so yummy I put my address in anyway on the off chance they send me one!)

Thanks, Tasha!!
Welcome to 2010! It’s a new year and the first Jan. 1 that Alaska Coupon Diva has been around for. We’re excited about the new year, and all the ways to save we’ll find during it (of course!).
Wishing you and yours the best this year!
