Freegan Haul

Yummi! EPIC bc of where it came from and how super clean and quick the dive was.

Sheckys Girls Night Out NYC

It was my first time going to this Girls Night Out Shecky's event, a friend sent me an awesome deal for tickets just $9 !  Honestly, not a horrible event but we left as soon as we got our drinks worth in and more.  I'd say the gift bag pictured above is cool but not super exciting.  Was it worth it? Well it depends ..if your just going with your girls and don't mind standing ..it was crowded and a line to get in as well.  You do get cheap drinks from I guess ok looking male bartenders.  I'd go if you want a cheap night of drinks with the gals.  Their was promo dessert wines which I loved, a beer section of Guinness girly beers and a regular drinks section. The reason I wouldn't recommend it to some people is that it was a little ghetto, NO ONE really seemed into shopping.  I'd say when I went 90% of the people were ghetto and loud and trying to cut.  Some people I saw brought in a bag of fry chicken from outside and just at it at one of the few standing tables.  But considering the bag had two full price products granted everyone gets something  a little different  And you can use this a quick pregame drinks place and goodie bag is worth at least $6 alone.  But thank goodness that I had plans afterwards.

Rite Aid Black Friday 2013

Starting with the out right freebies!

The food deals, honestly lowest pricest I've seen for these products.  And who doesn't need baking soda?

The Awesome quick cheap stocking stuffers or gift basket products.

I will say that these Home Repair gift cards are golden!! I'm going to get the max, its buy a $50 card and get $10 up reward back.  Thats 20% easy discount!

And the hidden sneaky deal is the Kushyfoot products limit 6, at $1.99 each they are so freakin worth it, it even includes the to go flats!

Rite Aid Look Ahead sales starting Nov 24

Finally, a reason to get excited and back into Rite Aid.!! Lots of freebies for the weekly sale starting Nov 24!  All these freebies are fine to get because you can easily roll your up Rewards to their Black Friday Freebies!  I personally plan to get my freebies on first day and then use them to roll onto the AWESOME Tide aka P&G deal they have.  You do need lots of your P&G coupons though but hopefully you took heed to what I've been saying and stockpiled a bunch of these booklets.

Tide Deal
Scenario 1
Buy 6 Tides  at $5.94 = $35.64
 use 6 $2 off coupons = -$12
Pay OPP or with other ups= $23.64  and get back $15 up rewards making real cost just $8.64!!!
Thats $1.44 a bottle + tax!
note with this scenario you will need to make 2 transactions as its 4 like coupons per transactions.


Other deal to mention not the best but the GROUPON and Living Social movie ticket deals are really scarce these days is the MOVIE gift cards, buy $25 worth and get $5 up reward, basically a 20% discount.  Its a good deal because there should be no exclusions and its an easy gift .

thanks to I heart Rite Aid for the aid scans!

NYC Freegan Finds and Update

Healthy Work Snacks- BYO so you don't waste money on vending machines!

I know I've been pretty MIA lately .. I've just been enjoying life, working and of course DIVING!! Anyways, I've finally got a day to myself and so I started thinking of the work week ahead.  My fridge is packed full so come Monday I'm moving a weeks worth of food to my office fridge.  I can't believe I didn't get more lunchables on my of my dives last week they threw a ton of them out in boxes (which I've since removed for extra space and so I don't have to clean).  Grr I had no idea they had Capri Sun's in them as well, man who'd of thought I would have found OSCAR MYER lunchables on a dive.  So thats why I havn't even been posting pictures of my Hauls any more because I've kinda got my grove on diving.  Remember all the things I said I had trouble finding .. well not anymore I have tons of Cheese, Yogurts, Lunch Meats, and just enought that I've probably spent less than $30 these past months on food.  And those trips were more couponing stock pile trips.  The above is a weeks worth of work week snacks.  Sometimes, I'll add whole grain cereal to the yogurt for healthy breakfast.

Anyways, I've also found lots of actual EGGs in my dives now too.  Crazy huh.. and I did take some pics of some recent things like tons of Organic Butter.

And the below, again.. I'd wish I'd had grabbed more of this stuff.  Its so yummi!  And these box things are the easiest because to clean all I do is remove the boxes!

I just wanted to say how amazingly grateful to have the chance to do these Food Rescues aka dumpster diving.  It is one of the best things about living in NYC!  I've literally just used all the extra money I've saved and TIME (I rarely cook)  to have fun and just relax!  And while I've been writing this post, I've been doing a yogurt face mask :)

Epic Weekend food rescue

Above was from large group dive.
And below was from a much smaller group.  It was pretty epic because I got tons of SUSHI not pictured, sandwiches and salads and... a huge bag of my favorite cookies!  And also not pictured was huge super cold cooked meat ! I had to give away stuff to make room for it.  But I literally got a huge bag full of premium sausages!
