Good morning! It’s time to rise, shine and save. Pull up a chair and grab your coffee.
Queen Bee Coupons turns 3 today! I cannot believe I’ve been blogging for three years. I’ve written 10,407 money-saving posts – which averages about 10 a day, EVERY day, for the last three years (1,095 days). But how many posts really isn’t important. What’s important to me is how much money we’ve saved over these years. We are being better stewards of our money and our resources – which for most of us has been in shorter supply these last few years. As I mentioned on Monday – I owe you a big THANK YOU for visiting my site, sharing your deals, commenting on my posts and making this such a vibrant, positive and encouraging community! I’m not sure what the future holds for Queen Bee, but I sure hope you’ll come along for the ride. 🙂
Let’s get down to business and talk markdowns. I shared an article yesterday about how I LOVE meat markdowns. And apparently you all do, too! I loved the dialogue and comments over on Facebook about the topic. Then last night I get emails from readers who found markdowns in store! Perfect timing.
Shana stopped into Fred Meyer around 8 p.m. last night and found roasted deli chickens marked down to only $2.49 and a bag of 12 bagels was only $1! She was able to get everything pictured for $6.98! That’s the way to do it, Shana! Thanks for sharing your find! Are you having chicken sandwiches for dinner tonight? I would!
And Laura emailed me that she went to her local QFC and found Axe Deodorants on clearance for $1.50 – which makes them FREE after the $1.50/1 Axe deodorant coupon from the Coupons.com Savings Club coupon. Or you can print a coupon for $1/1 Axe Deodorant Stick (not Savings Club) to make it only $0.50 cents.
I love markdowns and wish I could post them more often, but they are so limited I worry some of you will get frustrated by not finding them. But just remember to always be on the lookout for those bright orange, yellow or red tags. And remember that you CAN combine coupons with them. And of course, I always love hearing about the deals you find.
COUPONS
And if you’re looking to save on your Halloween candy, don’t miss all the high-value candy coupons over at the Coupon Network. Don’t forget about our Best Halloween Candy prices post here. We didn’t add these coupons (since we posted the round-up Wednesday), but it’s a great starting point for finding the best candy bargains.
There is a new coupon for $2/2 Reach toothbrushes!
Three coupon inserts coming this weekend! Get a preview of the coupons here. Have you clipped the coupons from last weekend? Yay, I haven’t.
FAVORITE DEALS
Get a photo brag book (4.5 x 6 inches) for only $0.99 cents each with promo code BRAGFOR99 at checkout. Shipping is an additional $2.99, so your total should be $3.98. Great stocking stuffer or thank you gift!
Amazon issued a $50 coupon for Verilux HappyLite Deluxe Sunshine Simulator making it only $77, with FREE shipping. It shows up for $127.97, but clip the coupon for $50 off and the total will be $77. See more deal details here.

GIVEAWAY – ENTER TO WIN
This is Rise and Shine so how perfect that we should give away some coffee this morning? Have you heard of Java Delight UnCups? If not, listen up. . . SUPERVALU knows many of you are looking for single-use coffee pods to use in your Keurig brewers, but they wanted them to be more environmentally-friendly (yay!). Well, UnCups are made with 30 percent less material by weight than leading national brand pods. Even the cardboard is 100% recyclable, and the inner packaging bag is made with corn resin.
I think it’s fantastic that SUPERVALU made it a priority to take care of the environment and still help us get our morning coffee in a convenient easy dose. 🙂 And I also think it’s awesome they are giving away a box of 12 count Java Delight UnCups – to four lucky Queen Bee readers!
Do you want to win a box of Java Delight UnCups? Please leave a comment on this post. Any comment will do! It’s that easy.
Giveaway will end tomorrow, October 6 at 8 p.m. PST. I’ll select four random comments and email you if you are a winner (so pay special attention to the email you use).
Disclosure: SUPERVALU did not compensate me in anyway to share about Java Delight UnCups. SUPERVALU is providing the four boxes of UnCups to four lucky readers. All opinions, text and ramblings are my own.
Have a wonderful day!

I LOVE when i find markdowns on food at my local grocery store.
I found 15lb tubs of meat for only $8 and it retails for $15 or MORE, so I made sure to buy some and we had wonderful tacos that night for dinner. Markdowns help me plan dinners some nights.
And I so have not clipped last weekends coupons yet. LOL
