Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar $29.99 (Starting Tomorrow)

Abby H.

I don’t usually post a lot of Black Friday Deals, but this one is close to my heart.

We’re a Lego Family, and a Star Wars Family, so when I saw this deal in my email the other day, I knew I had to share it.

Starting tomorrow 11/26/25, at Walgreens (and Walgreens.com), you can score this Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar for just $29.99. That’s 40% off the original price!! This deal is going to go super fast, so I recommend setting a timer or a reminder on your phone. I’ve already got a reminder set in my phone’s calendar with the link as the location.

This is going to be a great Advent Calendar for my oldest!

OTC Benefits with Medicare and Medicaid!

Abby H.

I learned the other day that some Medicare and Medicaid plans have a benefit where you can receive an allowance to purchase OTC medicines and devices to help you stay healthy. From what I’ve found, Medi-Cal (THat’s what Medicaid in CA is called) is not included in this, sadly.

To see if your plan has an allowance called an OTC health solution or OTCHS, check with your Medicare or Medicaid plan. For those with Medicare, it is often covered under Part D.

CVS is one pharmacy where you can use your allowance. They accept the following plans:

• OTC Health Solutions

  • S3
  • OTC Network
  • Nations Benefits
  • And many more

Walgreens also offers a service similar to CVS. In fact, Walgreens has a complete section on its website where you can shop for items covered by this program.

Over-the-counter medicines like pain relievers, eye drops, gas relievers, first aid supplies, vitamins, and oral care, just to name a few.

If your plan offers this feature, have you taken advantage of it before? What types of items do you purchase?

Got a Baby? Score a $5 off Huggies coupon!

Abby H.

I saw this on Tiktok, and this offer is slightly different, but it’s still pretty good.

If you’ve got a kid in diapers or you are expecting (or know someone who is), head over to the Huggies website here.

Once you arrive, you’ll see Save up to $10 on Huggies® Snug & Dry™ Diapers. Try the new & improved Snug & Dry™ softness- Click on it.

Enter the requested information, and then you will receive a text to confirm it’s you.

The offer is mobile, so you’ll have to do it on your phone.

You will select your store, and once you are in the store and ready to check out, open your phone and pull up the offer.

Show your offer to the cashier; there are instructions for them to follow. They scan the barcode on your phone and presto- you’ve saved $5!

Frugal Gift Idea: Fun Photo Collages!

Abby H.

If you’ve read my blog for any amount of time, you know I love giving photo gifts to relatives.

Walgreens has good-quality photo prints done in-store, and right now they have a coupon code for 50% Off Everything Photo! Use coupon code 50BELLS when you check out!

This offer ends on 11/30/2024, so there isn’t much time, but it’s a good deal.

I am redecorating our hallway, and I needed some new 8×10 photo collages. Using Canva (it’s free!), I made a few collages, including one of the ever-ferocious Fiona the Cat. Having Walgreens print an 8×10 cost less than $3. Don’t worry, I also made one of the kids too. I’m not strictly making photo collages of my cat to hang in the hallway.

And I discovered Michael’s is having a great sale on Belmont Frames brand picture frames. Either 65% off OR Buy one, get two free. I can get 3 8×10 picture frames for less than $20 (pre-tax), and pick them up at my local Michael’s tomorrow or Saturday.

For about $10.00 each I can make an awesome, thoughtful photo collage gift for my friends and family using both of these deals! These deals end soon, so if you want to take advantage, I recommend doing it soon.

Arm & Hammer Laundry Detergent Deal!

Abby H.

I love Walgreens and their Arm and Hammer laundry detergent deals. This week, 9/24-9/30/2023, selected Arm & Hammer laundry products are just $1.99.

This deal includes laundry liquid detergent, the Clean Scentsations Odor Blasters, or the 5 in 1 laundry Power Paks, in selected sizes.

There is usually a limit per customer in-store. I tend to order online for in-store pick-up. I do not clear the shelf.

I personally love this brand of laundry soap. It gets out all the stains and odors associated with kids and tweens. Those of you with 12-year-old boys understand what I mean!

My friends over at La Mesa Dream Dinners have teamed up with the BLISS Foundation to help seniors in need by holding a laundry detergent drive. You can learn more about it here, and this deal is a great way to help others without breaking the bank.

I’ve already placed my order online, and I’ll be dropping off my donation later this week!

The next few items are good deals, and I am definitely picking them up:

Starting off 2022 Right: How to save money at the grocery store and beyond!

Abby H.

Saving money is my bag. It’s what I’m good at, and I’ve made a name for myself as the resident frugalista in many of my friend circles.

A lot of people want to save money as one of their New Years Resolutions, and with the price of everything going up (thanks to inflation and the global pandemic), it’s becoming more important for people to learn and use some frugality skills.

So let’s get started on saving you some money at the grocery store and other places as well. Since I’ve been writing about these topics since 2016 on various blogs, I have tons of great posts that will be linked to throughout this post.

Start by making a list of what you already have at home. I use inventory sheets that I made on Canva.  I have one for the Pantry, one for the fridge, and one for the freezer. They live in plastic page protectors, and I update them when I am cooking (or afterward). It makes seeing what we’ve got on hand a breeze.

  • Shop sales- Buy and eat what is in season. This doesn’t only mean produce. Various items are on sale during the year, usually to correspond with holidays. My list of sales cycles can be seen here.
  • Buy in bulk if you are able.
  • Utilize Store apps to save money- CVS, Walgreens, Target, Vons, Ralphs, Food4less, Sprouts, etc.) all have apps with digital coupons and savings. With a few clicks, you’ll be saving money without clipping coupons! This tip is a great way to save on cleaning supplies, health and beauty aids, and OTC meds. 
  • Utilize cash back apps. My list of favorites can be found here.
  • Take advantage of local farms and CSA’s. I love Yasukochi Farms CSA. They are a local farm and have great produce boxes.

Right now they are having a New Years Sale! Choose either a 1-month regular box subscription for $88, or a 1-month jumbo box subscription for $120. To learn more or order, check out their website.

For less than $30 a week, we get a big box of produce delivered to our door. It helps us stay on budget and eat healthy!

Basically, it boils down to being organized, which can be hard. Choosing 1 or 2 of the above to get started and adding them to your routine until they become second nature, and then adding in 1 or 2 more, and so on and so on.
