I like the fact that I am able to offer something to our readers in states that do not have a Publix. Though you still have to pay a few dollars for the Nestlé water, you can print out 2 copies (per computer) of this coupon and save $1.00 each time.
For the Nestlé coupon, click on the image above or here.

For those of you that DO have a Publix nearby but either missed the most recent posting, or you are new to www.FrugalFloridian.com, here is the post about how to get your coupons for FREE Publix Spring Water (.5ltr/6pks).

UPDATE: 8/13/10 Because some people have left comments on this page instead of the Giveaway for August 13th. page, I have disabled the comments on this page. This page is just an info page.

I am not sure if today is the first day of the year that we have hit the 90 degree mark or not, but if you are outside at all in this heat YOU NEED TO HYDRATE.

A GREAT way to hydrate is with a .5 liter bottle of Publix Spring Water (and of course you would reuse the bottle a few times before recycling it).

So, we are in the couponing giving mood. All you need to do is leave a comment to this post and we will get in touch with you for your address (might be a few days from your request), please be patient. As this giveaway gains in popularity, we have been receiving more and more email addresses that are not correct, so double check your email address while leaving your comment. Also, for privacy reasons, please DO NOT leave your mailing address in your comment. I always feel weird when someone does that.

Kathy & I hope that you have been able to save money with the information that we provide you.

To answer a few of the questions I have received about this giveaway, yes, we pay for the stamp, envelope, ink, etc. No, we are not being reimbursed or compensated by Publix or anyone else for doing this. Actually, we have handed more then a few of these to store employees, from bag boys up to the managers for their personal use. The simple answer as to the “Why?” question is because we have been blessed and want to share our happiness with anyone that asks. As far as we know, this coupon is being accepted at all Publix stores system-wide. Every once in a while a store might limit the amount of coupons a person can use at one time, but no one has had their coupons refused.

Once again, thank you for reading www.FrugalFloridian.com and we hope you have found the information useful.

Don’t forget, this page is just an info page. To leave a comment for the August 13th Giveaway, please click HERE after reading the info below. Thank you, Mark

If you have an IKEA store near you, did you know that you can get a free breakfast Monday-Friday in the store’s cafe. The cafe opens 30 minutes prior to the store opening, and you can get a filling breakfast of eggs, bacon, and potatoes. PLUS you get a FREE beverage.

I was at the Orlando IKEA on Monday, and got there so that I could try the FREE breakfast, and I was very impressed and happy with the food. Yes, like almost any area with a large retired population, you see groups of older people chatting, and enjoying the FREE beverages, even after the store opened at 10AM. If you go on Saturdays the breakfast is 99¢. Breakfast is not the only meal you can save money on, but is the only one that you CAN get for FREE.

Of course, what would IKEA be without a Mother’s Day deal (BTW, they do deals for other holidays, Mother’s Day just happens to be the next major one coming up, THIS SUNDAY!! The special that IKEA is having is MOMS get a FREE ENTREE. For those that are reading this via our RSS Feed, the photo of the sign hanging in the cafe reads “Bring your kids or show us a picture of your family to get a free entree on Sunday, May 9, 2010.” They then list the cafe hours of: 10:30am-6:30pm, with the store hours being 11am-7pm.

Learn how to use junk mail to make paper beads

Section 2: Paper Making
Use paper, magazines and greeting cards to create different kinds of crafts

Section 3: Metal
Use tins and cans to create little critters and luminaries

Section 4: Plastic
Use those old bottles, cans and containers to create household items and decor

Section 5: Glass
Don’t break those old wine bottles, create coasters out of them

Section 6: Clothing
Sweaters and belts don’t have to be clothing items, they can be made into bracelets

Section 7: Miscellaneous
Take those old CD’s and turn them into ornaments

And much more…

So, seriously, if you want to see the same old junk in a new way, or just want to ignite your creativity side, please go here and enjoy your play time.

UPDATE: I have received word that the sign up period for this program will close. I have no idea when they will be accepting new sign ups in the future. So, please check the program out, and see if it is for you. We have been happy so far with what we have SAVED and learned.

I signed up to this service of sorts a while back, and want to share it with you. Yes, there are more then just a few FREE Stuff type of websites, but Shop4Freebies is different in that everything is 100% FREE. From what I can see, some of the other sites might already be obtaining their info from Shop4Freebies.
