Local Coupons, Big Savings – thanks to Six

“Move closer to your world, my friend, take a little bit of time…”

Am I the only one who remembers the words of the old channel six Action News theme song? Well, okay then. My age is showing.

But even the older generation appreciates a bargain, and thanks to Channel Six and Action News, there are several to be had in the Delaware Valley area. Click on this link to find a bevy of clickable coupons from our favorite ABC affiliate, including a $10 off Sesame Place coupon and another that offers a free McCafe coffee at McDonalds when you purchase a sandwich. So move closer to your world, my friends, and have a a closer grip on your wallet, thanks to our buddies at Channel Six!

Eat It Up – Free Cereal Samples

We’ve all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Now, I’m no doctor so I can’t say if it’s so, but I do know one thing – at my house, breakfast is the longest meal of the day. My kids choose cereal for lunch, dinner, snacks and before bed, too. Hey, if it worked for Seinfeld…

So that’s why I was happy to see these offers. The good people at Cheerios are offering a free sample of their Honey Nut Cheerios and a $1 off coupon here. Honey Nut Cheerios, for those who haven’t been stung by the bee, are great tasting and good for you, as they help lower cholesterol. So check them out…for free! (And, since we’re already fans, I just picked up a really big box at Wal-Mart for under $4. Can’t wait to get that $1 off coupon!!)

For those of you with more exotic palates, Total is offering a free sample of their new blueberry pomegranete cereal if you sign up here.Now, we haven’t tried these, but knowing that just one bowl will provide 100 percent of the daily recommendation of at least 11 vitamins and minerals makes it worth a try. And you can’t beat the cost!

Free 60-Day Pass to BJ’s

I found this deal on the main web site of Cities On the Cheap…..check out this one, then click on the link above for a whole slew of nationwide deals!

“Unlike some of the free passes to warehouse clubs, this free 60-day pass to BJ’s Wholesale Club comes with no strings attached. Well, there is one string: You must activate the pass by July 6, 2009 to get the deal, but there’s no indication that you’ll be required to pay a 10% service fee at checkout during the trial period, which is common at other warehouse clubs. Test it out by stocking up for your 4th of July picnic on the cheap.”

Free Haircut from Herbal Essences – Hurry! June 30 deadline

Remember the old, oft-mocked Herbal Essences commercials, .with the cartoon woman in a “garden of earthly delights” having an “organic experience” while cleaning her flowing locks? Ah, good times

Anyway, now it seems time for the hippies to cut their hair (as good a time as any, I suppose), and this promotion will enable us to do that on the cheap: get a free haircut with the purchase of any two specially-marked Herbal Essences shampoos or conditioners. Look for bottles with the green “free haircut” stickers (well, duh). Then  go to the redemption site here to enter the two UPC codes.  Print out your redemption form and mail it with the original receipt.  You’ll receive a free haircut voucher within four to six weeks along with a list of participating salons.  Important: You must process your purchase by June 30 to qualify.

While you’re waiting, go check out the old ads (no longer aired in the US) on YouTube. (I was going to make a joke about long showers here, but hey, we’re a G-rated site!)
