Cellfire $100 Gift Card Giveaway – Week 3!

By:

We’re in the third and final week of our Cellfire $100 Gift Card giveaway! Contest ends June 30!

LAST CHANCE TO ENTER! You’ve got a chance to win a $100 gift card for the Cellfire-affiliated grocery store of your choice. (In Illinois, that would be Dominick’s or Kroger/Hilander.)

All you need to do to enter is reply to this post. On July 1st, I’ll choose a poster at random to win the $100 gift card! It’s that easy!

It’s also a great time to check out the e-coupons on Cellfire, if you haven’t already — there are always some great ones to use each week, like…

Save $1 on Starbucks VIA coffee

My die-hard Starbucks lovers will like this deal! VIA is Starbuck’s new line of instant coffee that they promise is “just like the Starbucks coffee you know and love*” — they’ve captured Starbucks signature brew in an instant coffee. My husband’s had these and said they were “surprisingly very good!” They come in 8-packs in Colombia or Italian Roast varieties.

This week, Starbucks VIA is on sale for $6.99 at Dominick’s. Load this $1 off Starbucks Via coupon from Cellfire and stack it with the $1 manufacturer coupon from 6/20 SS or a printable. You’ll take 8 cups of Starbucks VIA home for $4.99 – that’s about .62 a cup… certainly cheaper than a trip to the coffeehouse!

So what are you waiting for? Simply reply to this post (if you need a topic idea, tell us the strangest thing you’ve ever heard in the checkout lane while using coupons…)

Week 1’s entries are here, and Week 2’s entries are here! If you already entered during the first two weeks, it’s not necessary to enter again, though if you’d like to post again — go for it!

Legalese: This $100 grocery gift card giveaway is being sponsored by Cellfire.com. Responding to any of the Cellfire contest posts on June 15, June 22, or June 29 will qualify you to enter the contest. Contest will close at Midnight on June 30, CST. A winner will be chosen via random-number generator on July 1, 2010. In the event that usage for Cellfire via my blog link increases 25% over last month’s Cellfire usage for the duration of this contest, Cellfire will also award me a $25 grocery gift card for hosting the giveaway. Good luck to everyone!

  2. I love the Cellfire IPhone App, very convinient for me to load coupons this way. Coupon Queen you had me at “Deals…” :-) Get it?

  6. Thankful for this bonus way to stack coupons! Never would have heard of it except for your blog, Jill! Thanks for how you’re teaching us to save even more money than we ever thought possible!

  10. Giving the contest a try. It’s awesome Cellfire would do this for your readers (and you). Thanks for all your work and help! Wishing everyone good luck!

  12. Love, love this website. have told many people about it and we love to share the savings! Thanks for all the hard work you do for us!

  13. Cellfire is so easy to use! I love the stacking and especially LOVE the $avings!

  17. Thanks, Jill, for making super couponing so easy and fun; I really appreciate what you do for us all!

  19. Jill-Thanks for all these great opportunities! I’ve never loved coupons so much in my life!

  21. Thanks, Jill for all that you do. I’ve definitely changed the way I shop…and it feels so good to save money!

  22. Thank you Jill for all your hard work. I truly admire and appreciate everything you do. I check your website daily and learn something new from it every time I do.

  24. Learning more each week. Thanks for your hard work and for sharing what you know!

  27. It’ll take a long time for me to spend $100 at Dominick’s, but I’ve found a really nice store now and lately it’s been worth the extra drive.

  29. “Are you that lady that’s been on TV talking about coupons?”

    I laughed when I heard that and told them, “no, but I read her blog”.

  33. My kids have really picked up the coupon addiction you gave to me……for our anniversary this week they made us a card with home made coupons! “No whinning for a day”, etc…only they expire in one week….yikes!

  34. I am a school teacher and I have been waiting all year to be off for the summer so that I could concentrate on couponing!!! I am so excited!!! Thanks for everything!!!

  35. I have 3 small children (the baby is 5 months old) and I said to myself that I won’t do super couponing until they are older and I will have more time but I think I’m getting sucked in slowly :)
    Today will be my first trip to Jewell with coupons in hand.

  36. Ok, so I already posted on the other 2, but maybe 3rd time is the charm?? :)

    Did you know I am a closet couponer? My boyfriend HATES for me to use them so I do all of it on my lunch hour at work and then pick up the items either on my lunch hour or on my way home. He just gets stuff like body wash put on his bathroom counter and he just looks at me with a knowing look. He knows I didn’t pay for it, but as long as he doesn’t have to be there, he doesn’t care. Kind of dumb, but it works!

  39. I get so excited when I save money with coupons. Your DVD has changed the way I shop. I recommend everyone get the video so you can watch it over and over until you get the hang of it. Even my husband has told his friends about my great savings!! Shopping is now fun. I never thought I would enjoy shopping this much.

  43. I love the surprises that are offered on Jill’s site. I’m hoping my name is picked for Cellfire.

  44. Jill, I’ve always been a coupon user, but now thanks to you, I am a “couponer”…and learning to be a super “couponer”! The money I save from the coupons is helping to pay rent…I hope someday it will help pay for a vacation. Thanks for all you do!

  48. Thanks for all you do, Jill! I’m new to the site and still learning the ropes. I never imagined how much you could save by doing this. I spent a grand total of .21 at Dominicks’s the other day and I am officially a true believer!

  49. I’m excited to attend your class offered at the Gail Borden Library in Elgin next week.

    I went to visit a friend and she was deep in planning for her next shopping trip. She told me all about the great deals she had found.

    That night I went home and signed up for the class.
    Thanks

  51. Jill,
    I used to try so hard to save 50% on my Dom’s receipts. Now I shhot for 75-80% on a regular basis. You have me shopping where I like going again and I no longer feel like I have to chase the sales! Thanks for all the help and advice!

  54. Hoping to win, to try out Dominicks. Just moved into an area where they have one! Thanks for the opportunity!

  55. Thanks for offering this opportunity to win $100.00. Family could use it.

  59. Thanks Jill for posting these great opportunities to help us all save more money! I’d really LOVE to get this cift card! It would help our family out a TON.

  61. I’ve been away from this link way to long, seems like the last few weeks have been sooo busy! Glad I looked today :) Thanks Jill :)

  62. I hate working because I know I am always missing out on some good deals. This would be great if I could win.

  66. Jill, thanks so much for all you do and these contests are fun! I am on the site now looking up coupons. What a great help it is.

  73. Hi!
    Supper women,
    Thank you for all your help, my life has changed a lot since I follow your advise even though I’m not an expert and sometimes I make mistakes, like with the Kraft deal, I never bought expensive cheese in my life, even before knowing about your tips, I bought 5 cheese but did not print cat, and I return the cheese and buy again with different one, but didn’t work either, and this time was regular price so the customer service lady ask me what I try to do, I explain it was suppose to print a Catalina, and also be in sale, so she just gave me the cat, and told me, now go ahead and feed your children, she refuse to return it and told me it was not in sale, well I was so embarrassed and got stock with the expensive cheese which my family hate it because is not their preferred one. but it was worth it with other deals I made before,

  74. Pick Me! Pick Me! (I know you can’t see it, but my hand is raised :) )

  75. Anytime I tried to log in for months & months, I couldnt without having to request a new password,,, for whatever reason I dont know, but everytime was getting to be a real pain in the keester, but this time I tried and it actually worked HOORAY!!!! So on that note, I’m entering for your Cellfire contest, maybe my luck is changing. Have a wonderful day!

  78. Hi Jill,
    My family and I just want to thank you for all your help to save us sooo much money since I was laid off of work while pregnant with my first. This has allowed for me to stay home with my little one for a while and not have to take just any job out there. I have gotten quite a few people started on this. My mom calls me the super coupon queen…..YA RIGHT!

  79. Thank you for ALL you do, I am having a really fun time, and getting all sorts of fantastic deals. One problem though, I’m starting to dream about coupons! Is that healthy? lol

  80. Thank you Jill for all you do!! Even though I have not officially gone to one of your classes (I will be there on July 7th at Gail Borden Library) I still have learned a great deal from your postings! There was a once upon a time when paying for groceries wasn’t a worry, but with today’s economy (and my husband taking a 60% pay cut) you have have helped me grately! I have a family of 4 kids & having $100 WOULD go a long way!

  81. Thank you Jill for all you do!!

  82. I want to tell you how grateful I am to everything that you have taught me. And my husband is highfiving me every time he can just go to the closet and pick out anything that he wants. It makes me happy when I have to open something new….like the Q-tips…I still have 2 boxes left…that makes me all giggly on the inside.
    So thank you, it has changed so much in our lives for the better!

  83. Jill,
    I wanted to thank you for your articles and money-saving advice! I follow your newspaper article in our local paper, which directed me here to your website. Last month, I was asked to teach a class on couponing and finding Internet deals, which I’ve been doing for years! Our class went very well and I directed everyone to your site. I learned about All You magazine from your posts and just subscribed at a price of 2 years for $20, which I thought was fantastic! Thanks for all your hard work and bits of wisdom you pass along to your readers! I was able to do the same for my friends at church.

  88. Although I’m kinda mad at Doms right now because they wouldn’t take my RR from wags!

  94. Thanks Jill for your teaching. I have been inspired by some friends to view your site. I am new and just starting to learn how to be a super couponer.

  99. I just starting teaching 5 of my friends the art of couponing…thankfully they don’t shop in my neighborhood:)

  104. I love your Deals of the Week Posts. You do make shopping with coupons a lot easier and more enjoyable. $100.00 Gift Card, if I win, would go a long way for us. Thanks

  107. Just love getting things for free! Love this website you have saved me time and money!Thanks Jill for your wisdom and sharing it with us!

  108. I haven’t been “couponing” for very long, but already I’m addicted! I love it. Thanks, Jill!

  109. took your class last week and I’m so inspired! thanks for sharing your wisdom. ~katie

  110. Thanks for all the helpful information you put out there. It really helps a lot.

  111. Thanks for all that you do Jill! I have completely changed how I shop thanks to you. You are wonderful!

  112. I am so addicted to couponing and my husband loves it!!! I was in the check-out line once with 4 different catalinas printing and the gentleman behind me said, “This isn’t Vegas. How did you get all that?” It made my day! Thanks for your wonderful information, Jill!

  116. I was recently turned onto you and am planning on attending your seminar next week in Elgin, and I’m really looking forward to it! I would love to win the $100 gift card… The free groceries would be GREAT!! :) Thanks for the opportunity!!

  124. OK, so the weirdest thing I get lately in the checkout line…..One customer behind me said I had the cutest little boy – and my daughter was in her infant seat wearing an orange polkadot outfit with a big pink flower on the front….so HMMM….that AND I dont see much I want to buy THIS week, but next week is a new shopping week!

    Robin in Plainfield

  126. Thanks for this great website Jill. You’ve saved my wife and I a ton of cash already in the few months we’ve been using it!

  130. I recently signed up for cellfire and have found it works well shopping at Hilander. Just think of what I could buy with $100.00!!!

  135. It’s the last day of April and I’m using up a whole bunch of the Jewel freezer deal Q’s. I had written down the price on each Q to make life a little easier on the cashier. While he was entering the Q’s, the woman behind me said, “Okay, I’ve got to know how yougot all of those coupons for free stuff.” I explained that Jewel did the freezer deal every Feb, mentioned that in the past the exp. date has been later in the year, and that the ideal way to redeem the Q’s is when there was a BOGO deal. Future Couponer in development ;)

  137. Jill I enjoyed meeting you, cellfire & ur web-site.
    I have taken couponing to a whole new level & lovin it! I even got my husband into clipin & savin!Thx for being a saving fashionista!!

  141. Count me in to win! My husband lost his job so $100 card would be awesome along with your great tips.

  142. Would love to see how I could stretch…… $100 of food into by using your wonderful method of shopping.

  144. I didnt even know this was on here as I lost my job of 7 years 2 weeks ago. I need this site more than you will ever know. Anyone looking for a good admin? :)

    I love the Couponing Queen

  149. I would be able to do a lot with $100 and it would be a huge help since my husband lost his job of 14 years a month ago. Who know that the economy would hit our fire dept also?

  152. So, I just returned from your Super-Couponing 2 workshop in Batavia and my couponing fire has been sparked once again! I can’t wait to get going with “buying” free products to give to those in need!

  156. i could use this card so bad after a week of over $1400 in car repairs(I could show proof)
