Right now Walmart is offering a FREE bonus baby and beauty pack with some extra goodies with purchase of many different diaper deals. Walmart claims this is a $35 value but we think that is a little steep of an estimation. However, when you consider the good diaper deals already – this bundle is a GREAT VALUE whether this bundle is as much as a $35 value or not! Here’s what is included in the FREE bonus:
Diaper Deals including this bundle:
There are a couple of shipping options for these diapers: .97 to ship to your door or will your order will ship FREE with a qualified order of $45 or more – so you can do the above deal 3 times in the same order (as it is such a good deal)!
Diapers.com
Diapers.com sells name brand and generic diapers similar to store prices (with sales here and there) and will even let you attach coupons that they provide like the ones that are in the newspaper (coupons are listed with each item that have them, jsut check the box to apply the coupon). Shipping is FREE if you spend $49 or more.
There are three ways to save on diapers right now at Diapers.com:
As the name of the site is Diapers.com, there are literally too many options to post here. From our years of experience, your first order with the $10 off ($49 or more) and the ecoupons, you will come out with prices right around the same as Amazon. But after that initial $10 discount, Amazon still runs the best deal regularly!
Head to Diapers.com here to see the deals!

Alex and Cassie (The Thrifty Couple) and our 5 kids
We announced a few weeks ago that many awesome changes are taking place here at The Thrifty Couple! We continue making changes to make our site better, more efficient, more user friendly, and easier to get the information you have wanted that never expires (like our recipes, articles, money savings tips and budgeting tips).
We made the first big change and announcement last week and we enjoyed hearing your encouragement on the change. Nearly everyone was super excited about the new homepage and all of the timeless information being easier to access and find without having to wade through dozens of posts, while at the same time still posting all of those wonderful deals, savings, coupons and FREEBIES – just one click away on our blog (HINT: the blog is easy to bookmark for direct linking)! 
We had been posting around 10 deals, savings ideas, coupons, and freebies every day for many months now – but we know many of you are just looking for many more posts to help you find those deals, coupons, savings tips and freebies/samples that will fit your family. We haven’t been able to bring you more than the 10 posts as we’ve been trying to run our household, manage our many family businesses, and homeschool our children. But we had an idea!
We know many other “Thrifty Couples” that each come from different stages of life, family dynamics, and budgets. Why not have them share some of those daily posts with you to help give you some variety and perspectives each and every day? So we asked and they excitedly said YES! You might have even noticed that the number of daily posts are starting to increase! And its only going to get better!
Honestly, we are super excited about this! Why? There are many reasons, but here are the top three:
Cassie and I will also be able to start adding videos on couponing specifically and our unique approach to it (as referenced in the coupon corner on our homepage) plus you will soon find some really handy downloads for “Family Financial Focus” and “Healthy Harmonious Home” coming soon as well! We have been wanting to do all of these things for a very long time and so we are so ecstatic to bring you even more every week!
Here’s what you can continue to expect from our site:
In our posts, you will now note who it is that has researched and brought this deal right to you by noting the author right under the post title. Cassie and I will still be doing many of them, in fact probably about 10 a day from us still! Want to know who is writing the post? Make sure to check out the author on the top of each post. See this one is written by me
So the next question is, who are all of these new Thrifty Couple Contributors?? Well let us introduce them to you! Don’t forget to stop by our About Us if you don’t know who we are or our background from being the Very Unthrifty Couple to becoming The Thrifty Couple.
Welcome to Our New Thrifty Couple Contributors:
 |
Jake and Kiz live in a house with 5 bedrooms, 4 children, 3 goldfish, 2 felines, 1 dog, and a dove in a dying spruce tree. They spend their time playing in the garden, coupon shopping, and running their kids to and from trumpet lessons, piano lessons, and swimming lessons. Kiz is a Spanish teacher at a Christian school and enjoys donating her time at the local Pregnancy Care Center. They love their kids and know first hand the financial reality of raising a family in today’s society with four kids – the last two being twins. They used Dave Ramsey’s system to pay off their consumer debt many years ago and do their best to stretch their tight budget as far as it can go to enjoy life as a family of six. |
 |
Mark and Desiree are parents of 6; Mark teaches college philosophy and Desiree is a homemaker and homeschooling mom. We’ve survived (and even sometimes thrived!) for many years on a very tight budget while raising a large family and while Mark finished his Ph.D. at the same time; we know up close the trials of the current economy, and are excited to share with you some deals and strategies that can help make ends meet, pay off debt, and meet your goals. |

John and Darrelyn were just recently married. Darrelyn has been couponing for a couple of years, starting when a friend introduced her to the idea of saving money through the use of couponing. At first she started just as a hobby, and then it turned into a major way to save some money. Darrelyn is a Christian school teacher, and John has just recently earned his teaching degree and is currently looking for a teaching position. More than ever, John and Darrelyn need to save money because of their single income, and couponing has been a great way to save and make the ends meet. Darrelyn loves to find great deals online and at her local stores to save money on groceries, gifts, and some of the fun things in life. |
 |
Mark and Lynda are a couple of baby boomers who love the Lord, life, fun, and cannot resist a deal. We really like saving money! Lynda has returned to college after raising children for 30 years to learn about computers and Mark is a CPA. We are a thrifty couple because we are trying to position ourselves to be ready financially for retirement and to be able to help others who are less fortunate, and to constantly discover ways people can save money and live life in service. Lynda and I would ultimately like to be in a good position financially and spiritually to be able to serve the Lord on some missions. |
 |
Kael and Calli are a deal-seeking newlywed couple loving married life together. As busy and fiscally conscious college students, we are constantly on the lookout for useful and easily accessible deals. We want to thrive in our community and share our experiences with others who may have similar desires. We work throughout the summer and save our income to pay our living expenses throughout the school year which requires a lot of creative frugality. Some of our hobbies include: outdoor activities, college life, electronics, home crafts, cooking, and planning fun date nights. |
And please feel free to welcome each of our new “Thrifty Couples”! We are excited to have them on board and hope you are too!

Has anyone else’s week just flown by? Maybe its because the sunshine and heat have been amazing this week – but as usual, that heat translates into dry skin between dry hands and dry, cracking heels. That’s one major reason we shared this week our luxurious, moisturizing skin cream that we make ourselves. Not only does it work for our dry skin (HINT: put it on your dry hands and feet at night and wear cotton gloves/old socks on your hands!), but it works well to manage our son’s eczema. We can’t state this will work for everyone, but it has been exciting that we don’t have to use as much of the harsh steroids to minimize his outbreaks. We hope you love it!
Make sure to check out our list of 14 FREEBIES and samples that are available at the time of us posting this (right under the Grocery and Drugstore deals below). We especially love full-sized freebies as well, including the giveaway of the Glade Spring Scents Collection that we have actually won ourselves before – make sure to enter! Plus, if you haven’t signed up to SneakPeeq before, you can get a FREE bracelet (pictured above) just by signing up. Make sure to check the post for the details to make sure you get your free bracelet!
We have gone through each of the following deals, coupons, samples and amazing FREEBIES with a fine-toothed comb so you can know each one is still available (some prices may have changed a bit but are still close to the original posting price)! Make sure to check the list twice so you don’t miss anything this weekend!

This is one of our favorite coupon. There is a new coupon for .50 off Hormel Natural Lunch Meats.
But here are a couple of deals you can get!
Both Walmart and Target (and probably other local grocery stores) sell this for $2.98 everyday.
Here’s the deal you can get:
Also, we often see these go on sale for $2.50 at grocery stores all around town = final is $2.00 after coupon
If your store doubles coupons, then this coupon will be valued at $1 = final is $1.50 – $2.00 each with doubled coupon!
Check out these helpful links to help you save more money!

We love it when this coupon comes out as this is one of our favorite magazines as it is filled with loads of coupons and we refer to these coupons in a lot of our deals and store deals that we post. So this coupon is a great one to print and be able to get the “magazine coupon” for less!
What You Can Expect in Each Issue:
Walmart is the only store that currently sells this magazine and it sells for around $2.49. You can use this .50/1 All You Magazine coupon = final is $1.99 and take it for a test drive.
You will want to HURRY and print the coupon as it may go fast!

We hope you all are loving the fact that Earthbound Farms has been releasing all of these great coupons the last couple of weeks like we love it! Well, it is time for another great coupon for the day from Earthbound Farms. Get a coupon for .75 Earthbound Farms Organic items! It can be any item! To get your coupon, you will need head over to the Earthbound Site HERE and register or log-in and click on the above coupon. It says “.75 off Kales” which, combined with a sale should make for a good deal. But when you print it, you can actually use it on any Earthbound Farms product. This coupon does not expire until the end of May, so you will have a month to use it! Watch for markdowns too!
Just as we shared many times before for the most likely best deal on Earthbound Organic Produce, you can actually get very cheap organic carrots from Earthbound Farms at Walmart. These are easy to peel and steam for everyone to enjoy or even ground as baby food!
Here’s the deal:

Just last week we shared with you our secret, 2-by-2 Formula we used to pay off over $100K of consumer debt in just seven years. If you’re new to the 2-by-2 Formula or want a refresher, we encourage you to check out our post where we finally revealed our personal, 2-by-2 Formula that we developed and used to pay off our $100K debt in seven years.
To give you a quick refresher on what we are talking about, the 2-by-2 Formula states the following in regards to your income:
Note: We are only focusing on the income side of the 2-by-2 Formula in this article as it relates to the question at hand. Don’t forget to check out the formula in whole where we also discuss decreasing spending as well.
With that, we receive a question a few times in comments and via email:
Question: How you can make the 2-by-2 Formula work for a family living on a variable income? Isn’t that impossible on this plan?
Answer: Its honestly simple. See why below!
To make it work with variable income, the first step is to calculate your average monthly income based off your variable income.
Average Income = Total Income / Number of months
Please note, don’t get stuck on this step as this is only used to establish your baseline and 2% of your amount honestly isn’t going to change that much. After you establish your baseline income you’ll never use this amount again – throw it away for all we care! You could use the last three months or even the last year – either way it will be ok as you’re only trying to establish a starting point. We promise.
Your goal for the first month is then to increase your income by 2% of that baseline income. For example, if your baseline income is $3,000 (after calculating your average income), then the 2% additional income you need to bring in that first month is $60. It is this amount (the additional income) that you will want to make your goal for the first month.
Then at the end of each month identify that additional income directly resulting from the specific actions your family took to increase your income, whether through ideas of your own or maybe even one of our ideas from Over 100 Ways to Earn Extra income. Whatever you track as that month’s actual, additional income is then increased the next month by 2%. Seems easy, right?
Subsequent Month Additional Income Goal = Prior Month Actual * 1.02 (shortcut for 2% more)
So if your goal was $60 for the first month and you brought in only $55 of actual, additional income that first month, your next month’s goal would be as following:
Example: $55 actual income (goal was $60)
Next months goal: $55 * 1.02 = $56.10
All the sudden what seemed difficult at first becomes simple! Your family should be able to identify the additional income resulting from your additional work. And all you need to do in applying our 2-by-2 Formula is increasing that income each month by 2% over the actual income from that prior month.
The goal here is to remember we are talking about making small changes each month that incrementally will add up to a large whole! And when you realize that it will be much easier to see the forest instead of the trees.
If all this sounds too overwhelming: If you honestly don’t want to calculate anything at all just use last months income, whatever it is and take 2% of that. If that was your highest month, use your lowest month. The key we want to emphasize is to just start somewhere! Our goal is to help you find a starting place and work at improving each month in small, yet achievable ways.
Keep sharing your questions and thoughts as they really make this better for all of us. And always remember that we want your questions and feedback. We’ll be sharing more each week and would love to clarify as much as we can this 2-by-2 Formula. Email us or leave a comment at the bottom of the post – we would love to hear your thoughts!
