When Mobile Coupons and Discount Gift Cards Collide: Volume 3

May 31, 2013

Happy Friday, super shoppers! I hope this week flew by for you after the holiday and you’re gearing up for the first full weekend of summer 2013. Tomorrow brings June and, with that, the (almost) end of the school year and the start of vacation season. I’m getting pretty excited for summer because I’ve got a hot, island vacation planned and lots of parties and events to attend. The only thing troubling me? The sheer volume of things I need to buy to get ready for vacation and the change of season. A few weeks ago, I blogged about how I scored a completely free bikini with mobile savings at H&M. I also saved $10 on another bikini and some super cute summer dresses with mobile coupons. Since it’s 90 degrees here in Philadelphia and I’m writing non-stop, I’ve been drinking tons of iced tea and coffee for free!

My secret? Maximizing every app in my mobile savings arsenal and stack the savings with other easy, unconventional savings techniques, like discount gift cards. For the last few Fridays, I’ve been blogging about how you can guarantee you’ll always save at your favorite stores even before coupons, by learning how to buy and use discounted gift cards from Gift Card Rescue. I’ve teamed up with Gift Card Rescue to bring you the “When Mobile Coupons and Discount Gift Cards Collide” series, which gives you a taste of how much you can save when you combine SnipSnap mobile coupons with discounted gift cards.

Cheap, Nutritious McDonald’s Eats: $1 Blueberry Pomegranate Smoothies, BOGO Egg White Delights

May 20, 2013

Happy Monday, everyone!

It’s 80 degrees today in Philadelphia, and it finally feels like we’re in the final stretch towards summer. It’s graduation season, and with the end of another school year, lots of families are gearing up for summer vacations: long days at the pool and weeks at the beach. I can’t wait for my summer vacation and I’ve been ferociously couponing my hot weather wardrobe. I even used mobile coupons to score a completely free bikini! As you can tell, one of my chief aims in life is to look good and feel great without spending a lot of money. This applies to to what I put on my body as much as it applies to what I put in my body. I usually have way too much on my plate to actually cook meals during the week, so I rely heavily on convenience food and coffee pit stops. But, just because I’m busy, doesn’t mean I eat junk. We’re past the age when McDonald’s was to blame for your expanding wasteline; today, a fast food lunch will not only save you a ton of money (even more with coupons!) it can also save you a ton of calories – if you know what to order.

What’s on the healthy, delicious, frugal McDonald’s menu this week? Fruit smoothies and high-protein breakfast sandwiches!

This week, from May 21-23, McDonald’s is offering its brand new Blueberry Pomegranate smoothies for just $1.

A small smoothie will set you back just 220 calories and will fill you up (it has 3 grams of fiber) more than a sugary, junky soda.

You don’t need a coupon to take advantage of this deal, but if you want to make it a meal, make sure you SnipSnap this coupon for BOGO Egg White Delight McMuffin sandwiches:

I’m so excited about these new McMuffins; they’re a really great choice for a fast, delicious breakfast. With 18 grams of protein, 5 grams of fiber, and just 7 grams of fat/250 calories, you’re not breaking the calorie bank first thing in the morning.

Are you a convenience food queen like me? Make sure you follow me in the SnipSnap app and subscribe to my Fast Food coupon bundle, to get the latest scoop on high value coupons for quick, tasty food.
