FAMILY FUN NIGHT MOVIES IN THE PARK

Get ready for another year of Family Fun Night - Movies in the Park
This season is shaping up to be more exciting and eventful than the past. If you are not aware we have purchased our own screen and projection equipment and will be showing the movies ourselves. With that we will be able to do more and other events as well as hopefully continue the events through the cold months in an indoor facility. We are also looking into doing some other types of events like video game tournaments on the big screen.

This season again the City of Spring Hill will be partnering with The People's Church as they and other local church and community groups will be hosting all the pre-movie festivities such as live music, games, inflatables, kids karaoke, free food and much more. The pre-movie events will start at 5pm so come early to enjoy the fun and pick out a good spot for the movie. This is a completely free event!

Fresh Earth Farms ~ Organic Chicken available

Please see the email below from Fresh Earth Farms...

We will be processing our meat chickens (called broilers) on Friday, May 29th and Saturday, May 30th. We plan on beginning the processing from 8:30am and completing around 4:30pm each day. Some families like to come see the process while others prefer to simply come pick up processed chickens after we are done processing for the day.
We will be selling whole processed chickens for approximately $3.00 per pound. They should be weighing 3-4 pounds. We accept cash or checks. Make sure to bring a cooler with ice in it to transport your chickens.
If you are one of our customers who has already given us a committed reservation order for chickens, we will need the beginning of each morning to process your chickens. If you have not made a reservation but would like to, reply to this email with the number of chickens you'd like.
Those who haven't made reservations are welcome to come purchase chickens on a first-come first-served basis (except, of course, for our reservation folks).
Our chickens are all-natural, pasture raised organic chickens. We are not USDA certified; we disagree with the way USDA is skewing the meaning of the word organic, and we don't want to deal with all the bureaucratic paperwork they require. But our chickens are raised outdoors in the fresh sunshine on new pasture everyday and supplemented with an all-natural feed. No chemicals, steroids, antibiotics, or other such additives are given to our chickens...only fresh grass, bugs, and an all-natural feed is their diet.
We look forward to seeing you Friday or Saturday and catching up with how things are going in your life.

Kroger ~ Week of 5/24-5/30

The Kroger add this week is really a bust...nothing new...just a repeat of last week's deals. I don't see anything worth going for myself. But you can see the full ad/coupon matchup at Southern Savers.

Harris Teeter ~ TRIPLES!!!

TRIPLES, TRIPLES, TRIPLES...Head on over to Southern Savers for the full list and all the FREE item details...

This ad and list starts Wednesday 5/27 @ 7am. It is VERY long, with over 35 free things. Just remember that they will only triple 20 coupons per transaction so make small trips.

Remember:

1. You do not have to buy 2 of the B1G1 items, each item will ring up half price.

2. Coupons are triples that are .99¢ or less. If they say "do not double or triple"...then they will not!

3. They will triple 20 coupons per day/transaction.

4. You must have a VIC card to get sale prices and for your coupons to double.

5. Most stores only allow one coupon per B1G1 deal, so only buy one per transaction if possible.

**Tip: Hand over coupons in order of value starting with .99¢ or less then give $1 and higher coupons**

BTW ~ I saw a NEW Harris Teeter's is opening soon (sometime this year) on Hwy 96 right inside Westhaven!!! Woohoo...that will be much closer for us!

Through Monday 5/25, using code SPECIAL you can get 80% off your entire purchase on Restaurant.com

Buying certificates right now...you will only pay:

$25 dining or gift certificates for $2
$10 dining or gift certificates for .60 cents

Think of them as a $10 off or $25 off coupon.

**You will see the prices change during checkout. As you browse their site all the prices you see are the regular prices.**

Publix Senior Discount Day

Remember that EVERY Wendesday is Publix Senior Discount Day...receive an additional 5% off your bill if you are 60+ years old. See the Publix website for details at http://www.publix.com/

SUNDAY PAPERS ~ 5/24/09 ~ NO INSERTS

**If you get the paper delivered to your house, call and place your delivery on vacation hold for this week...it should extend your subscription by one week ;-) **

$5 off $25 Walgreen's Coupon ~ Wed. & Thurs.

Walgreens $5 off $25 purchase coupon HERE
Only valid Wednesday and Thursday...so hurry!
Remember the total has to be $25.00 AFTER any other coupons or discounts (fine print on coupon) so look for really great deals that also offer register rewards...that way you get the most bang for your buck!

Barnes & Noble ~ FREE book/reading program

Go HERE for more info.

Here's How It Works:
1. Kids read any eight (8) books of their own choosing.
2. Kids use the Summer Reading Journal to tell us their favorite part of each book. A parent/guardian signs the journal when it's complete. You can also get a Spanish-language Reading Journal.
3. Children bring their completed Reading Journal to a Barnes & Noble store between May 26th & September 7th, 2009.
4. We'll give them a coupon for a FREE book! They choose from a list of exceptional paperback titles.
* * Eligible books will be listed on the coupon. Choices must be made from available stock. No special orders. Limit of one (1) form per school-age child (grades 1-6), please. Incomplete forms will be ineligible for free books.

Deal Spotted ~ Target

Great deal at Target right now...

Special K cereal is on sale for $2.39 each...buy 5 get a $5.00 Target gift card!


Work the deal like this...

Buy 5 cereals $2.39 each = $11.95

Use 5 $1.00/1 MQ coupons - $5.00 (coupons.com printable)

Get a Target $5.00 gift card - $5.00

Total for 5 boxes of cereal = $1.95 or $0.39 each

**You will need multiple computers to print 5 coupons since the print limit is 2 per IP address. However there were also some MQ's given out at Target during a sample day...so if you have those Q's you are good to go.

Awesome!!! Thanks Lindsey for passing this along!!!
