Yay! I was so excited to sign-up for the Cracker Barrel Porch Club! After a recent visit I learned about the club and just had to check it out!

Woo hoo, a coupon for $5 off of $20 is awesome. This is my favorite restaurant and I can’t wait to go there and utilize my savings! For anyone who may not be familiar there is a Cracker Barrel on Transit Road, Williamsville. It’s located right by the Thruway overpass on Transit.

Just went on over here and registered for Campbell’s Kitchen and was able to print off up to $15 in money-saving coupons (most are for soup!. Another great way to save money, but have some soup on hand for these cold days! They also offer recipes, cooking solutions, and more for your everyday life!

Looking for a way to easily keep track of you expenses and savings in 2010? Well thanks to The Coupon Project, you can download a Free Savings Tracker. You do need to have excel on your computer, and a basic understand of the program. I downloaded the program this morning, then realized that my excel trial version is over and I would have to purchase ! That’ not in the budget . Anyway hopefully this can help the rest of you with your 2010 budgets!

AMF has a great way to beat these cold and snowy winter days! If you head on over here, you can sign up for the AMF eclub. Once signed up, you will get a coupon for a free game of bowling for up to 10 people. Also every year on your birthday they will send a free gift!

I am so excited to be able to share Tricia’s greatest frugal find of 2009: Rite Aid Pharmacy!  I know it sounds a little strange, but Rite-Aid has come an incredibly long way to ensure their customers get the best prices, deals, and conveniences drug stores offer. I cannot tell you how excited I am every week to get my Rite Aid weekly circular. Rite Aid offers programs including Single Check Rebates (SCR), Video Value Program, and we also are lucky to have wellness+ in our area!

First, the Single Check Rebate is phenomenal, and very easy to use! I have been using the program since August 2009, and receive the checks every month that I deposit into my own bank account. Instead of re-inventing the wheel please head on over here (thanks for the mommas!) for an awesome Rite Aid 101!

Second, Rite Aid offers Video Value Rewards which is another awesome program. Basically you register, then watch videos of the latest products and save big with over 75 exclusive in-store coupons. Including a bonus offer (after you view videos and receive 20 credits) each month which is a $5 off $20.00 purchase at Rite Aid! These coupons are very valuable so you want to check this program out!

Third, is the wellness+ program. We have been fortunate in the Buffalo, NY area to be one of the first cities who have this program, and so far I love it. All the details are over here. It’s a reward card that can earn you points toward % of passes, wellness screenings, exclusive coupons and more. I know that yes, it’s another reward program card to carry, but you will not regret it! I very much encourage everyone when you go on your next trip to Rite Aid, to sign-up for wellness+ (if you have not already)

So, in closing each week I will go through and post the weekly frugal finds at Rite Aid for all of use to maximize all three of the programs they offer. I am excited and look forward to your comments!

Happy Frugal Finding!
