The things I sign up for

I sign up for all kinds of stuff.  Especially if it's something that i KNOW i will use.

**The other day I saw that the Outback was offering free steak dinners (with a purchase of an entree I think) & I happened to be online when that deal went live & got it!!  Right now you can go HERE & get a $5.00 off coupon.

**Today I signed up for the Alamo Insiders club for Alamo Car Rental.  With 2 competitions coming up, I decided to see if it would save some money & it really did.  YAY!!  Click HERE to join...it's FREE.

**HERE'S a coupon for a FREE small drink with a purchase of a small popcorn at any Regal theatre.

**Going shopping sometime soon...HERE'S a link to Coupon Connections that has a list of all the greatest coupons available.

**And did you see on Groupon today that you can get 2 tickets to the Puyallup Fair for $11?  Click HERE for that deal, however the deal ends soon.

So as if that's not exciting enough, I heard today that there will be 3 - Twice The Value coupons in the Albertsons Ad tomorrow.  I've mentioned these coupons several times, but in case you missed it...

Twice The Value coupons are good from Sunday thru Tuesday only.  You receive 3 per ad & can only use 3 per transaction.  (if you have more, you can use the bar to separate your transactions, make several trips, go to different Albertsons stores)  You take one of these Twice The Value coupons & one manufacturer coupon (up to $1.00) & they will double it.  The best way to use these is to match them with an item that is already on sale to get them for REALLY cheap or FREE!

So I'll be getting 5 papers tomorrow, giving me a total of 15 of these Twice The Value coupons.  Here's the plan:
