Join the Fishful Thinking Ambassador Network

I got this in my e-mail yesterday and thought I’d share. I was able to get “in” – Here are a few disclaimers: It appears that they are mainly looking for people with children in the 4-7 range who also have an account on a social networking site such as Facebook or MySpace. Also, if you sign up, you will get an e-mail from them to verify your account. Make sure you do this!

Here’s the information:
The Pepperidge Farm® Goldfish® brand and Dr. Karen Reivich, in partnership with RepNation, invite you to become a Fishful Thinking Ambassador. Fishful Thinking Ambassadors are an active network of mothers who want to learn more about positive parenting and also have an interest in sharing their experiences with others.

If you successfully become a Fishful Thinking Ambassador, you will receive a free Welcome Kit with promotional materials and samples to help you get started. Each Ambassador has the flexibility to participate in ways that fit within her own schedule, and can decide the activities in which to get involved. Ambassadors will have the chance to earn prizes and incentives as they participate in the program and spread the word about Fishful Thinking. Examples of Fishful Thinking Ambassador activities are:

Encouraging people to visit the Fishful Thinking website and learn more about the program
Creating personal Fishful Thinking Storybooks about their children, and sharing them with friends and family
Hosting small events or get-togethers for specific Fishful Thinking activities
Sharing personal feedback on the private community site through Reports, Blogs and Polls

Mothers with at least one child at home between ages 4-12
Socially connected online, i.e. Facebook, Twitter, and/or blog etc.

Buy Tigger & Pooh Musical – $17.99

Use $10 Target gift card
Use $6 peelie coupon

Spend $18.98 OOP, get a $10 Target gift card back

Then, send off for the $5 Ortega rebate here and the $5 Disney/Rayovac rebate here, total OOP = $8.98 for both movies!

Here’s another scenario:

Hot deal at Randalls (ends today)

There is a “Buy 5, Save $5 Instantly Mix and Match Promo” that ends today. Here’s what I did:

*Buy 3 bags Tostitos or Ruffles – $2.99/each (before $5 off)
*Buy 2 jars Tostitos salsa/queso – $2.99/each (before $5 off) – look for displays of Frito Lay/Pepsi products with tear pads for $1 off salsa/queso/dip when you buy one bag of Frito Lay chips (there were several of these at my store and they were also at my Kroger store)

Total after instant $5 off and using 2 $1 tear pad coupons = $7.95

Plus, you get a coupon for a free MLB team t-shirt with your purchase of 5 participating items!

A few other great deals:
*Hebrew National Franks are 2/$6 (my husband prefers these, but I don’t buy them very often because of the price) – I had $.75/1 tear pad coupons that came out sometime around the Super Bowl

*Rotel – 2/$1

*Super coupon – Life cereal = $.99 – use the $1 off printable coupon here and it’s free!

It’s Redbox Monday!

Today’s free movie code is: TS473G

You can use the code once per card (so technically, you can get more than one if you have the time to watch more than one in one night!)

On Mondays, they have promotional codes for free movies. Sign up to have the Monday code texted to your phone here. To learn more about Redbox (or to find a location, see what’s available, or reserve a selection online), check out their blog here and their site here.

If you are new to using Redbox, Dealseeking Mom has a great tutorial here.
