Hey local readers – I just wanted to remind you to check out Stretching A Buck for Marcy’s pick of the best freebies and deals of the week from her spot today on First at 4 with Ellie Merritt!
I’ll see you again next Monday when I bring you my top five picks of the best freebies and deals for the week of 6/7!
The Deal Seeking Mom Forums continue to grow as a community and as a place for discussing deals, finds and frugal tips. This week was no exception, and here are a few of the best threads from the week:
You don’t have to be a member to browse the forums, but we hope you’ll register and join in the conversations as well!
If you haven’t yet made the forums a regular daily stop, you might have missed these great posts this week:
Hope to see you around!

I don’t know about you, but I feel like I’m always finding great one-day-only deals or giveaways that I want to take advantage of, and then I inevitably forget all about them before the date arrives!
I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one it happens to, and that’s why I’m excited to tell you about a feature on the Deal Seeking Mom Forums that both Tara and I are both really excited about.
The Freebies & Giveaways Calendar features all the great deals, freebies and giveaways we know you want to remember. Rather than clutter up your email with dozens of reminders that you may or may not want, you can simply click on the events that you want to take advantage of and select “Request Reminder for this Event.” The system will send you an email reminder before the scheduled event, and you can even choose when you want it to arrive to be sure you don’t miss it.
Find the calendar here, click on the calendar icon in the media box to the right, or simply use the Resources dropdown menu on the forums. You’re welcome to browse all of the great coupons, deals and freebies as a guest, but you’ll need to take just a minute to register in order for the system to send you calendar reminders.
See you there!
It was another great week on the Deal Seeking Mom Forums. We’ve got amazing members who are helping to build a valuable Deal Seeking community!
We’ve announced quite a few new features, and we’re continuing to roll out more every week. We’d love to hear from you if there’s a feature you think we should consider adding.
This week, we held our first weekly contest for the member who had the most helpful or valuable post. It was so hard to choose, but the five winners each contributed a variety of great freebies, coupon matches and more. Be sure to read the contest announcement for more information on how you can be one of FIVE members to win TEN coupons, each valid for one FREE Stouffer’s Corner Bistro Stromboli or Flatbread Melt up to $3.29 (exp. 2/28/10).
We’ve got a growing list of stores being covered on a weekly basis in the Grocery Deals forum. If you’re interested in covering one not already on the list, please register and PM Mandi, our Forum Administrator, so she can get you set up!
This week, Mandi shared how her family is able to enjoy Starbucks Frappuccinos for less, and our contest winner, Sati769leigh, posted tons of great freebies in the Freebies forum.
Whether you’ve got deals and freebies to share or are just looking for great deals, we hope to see you there!
