Questions about how eCoupons work? Check out the eCoupon FAQ page.

Most of these deals use a Safeway double coupon, which is available at Oregon & SW Washington (Wahkiakum, Cowlitz, Clark, Skamania & Klickitat Counties) Safeways only. You can double up to 4 manufacturer’s coupons per transaction, up to $.50 each. The double coupon is found in the weekly ad at the bottom of the middle page.

We are proud to be apart of The Grocery Gathering over at BeCentsAble, posting for Safeway in Oregon & SW Washington.

I’ll add more deals as I find them. Leave a comment with any you come up with!

If you really like Post Honey Bunches of Oats or Post Fruity Pebbles (there may be others too), you need to get $1/2 Post cereal coupons off ebay NOW! There’s a great sale starting tomorrow at Safeway that includes a catalina.

We did not receive the Post coupons in the Oregonian 2/28 SS inserts, so your only opportunity to get them is through ebay or a coupon clipping service. The Buy It Now prices are quite reasonable, but will certainly go up as people get excited about this deal! Remember to buy from a west coast seller to get them quickly.

I’ll get the deals up soon, but just wanted to give you a heads up!

For more information about using ebay to get coupons, head to my previous post.

Dollar Tree has Muir Glen Organic Pasta Sauce for, naturally, one dollar! I found this at the Chehalis Dollar Tree in Washington, but I would imagine it would be at all of them. They had Beef Bolognese flavor. This is a fantastic price for organic pasta sauce.

I had the opportunity to try out Gymboree Play & Music in Bridgeport Village over the last two weeks. My older boys (2 and 4) went to both the family play and art classes and we had a great time! There are a few things that especially stood out to me:

::  Personalized attention: We’ve taken a few preschool classes through city parks & rec departments, so we have a bit of experience with these types of classes. The teachers at Gymboree blew our other experiences out of the water. My boys were called by name. If they wanted orange paint, they got orange paint. If they were jumping off a structure, the teacher created a pit to make it more fun. You sure feel special at this place.

:: Flexible structure: I’m all for rules and institutional structure. Let’s face it, playing by the rules is a necessary part of functioning in the world. But I loved that the people at Gymboree let my boys explore the gym while the other kids climbed up the imaginary tree. And that the art teacher encouraged my four-year-old to finish painting his butcher paper orange (yes, the entire thing) while the rest of the kids did the three other scheduled projects.

Obviously, if we were there every week I would make them do what everyone else was doing. But it was great that the new kids were allowed to get used to what was going on.

:: Options: The Bridgeport Village location has tons of different classes to choose from at very convenient times. I also like that they have classes that accommodate different ages so siblings can attend together.

If you’re looking to get your little kids into a high quality, organized activity, I encourage you to give Gymboree a try. Tuition is a bit pricey, but I think it’s worth it if you have the room in your family’s budget. It’s also a great way to meet other parents and connect with families in your community.

************************

The owners of the Bridgeport and Cedar Hills/Beaverton locations are extending a great offer to Frugal Living NW readers.

My apologies for not having pictures of our experience at Gymboree. My fancy-schmancy camera is on the fritz.

I super-heart Johnson’s Buddies Soap. If you haven’t tried them, you really need to head out to Target or Walmart and pick up one for free!

Johnson’s Buddies Soap regularly priced $.97 – $.99 at Target & Walmart
Use $1/1 coupon here, here and here
FREE after coupon

Since the product is priced below the coupon value, it may “beep.” The cashier just has to adjust the coupon’s value down to the price so it doesn’t become a moneymaker.

Thanks to Moms By Heart, Hip 2 Save and Common Sense With Money for posting many of these deals.
