FREE BEES--> February 2026

 


January provided our family with 24 free items!  


This year I am focusing on being more selective on what I pick up for free.      I am still seeking high quality items or preferred brands which my family will use.  As a result, I may need to pay a little for items previously picked up for free, but I am comfortable with this.   


I will not be making a goal again this year, but am grateful for anything I am able to secure for my family.    Instead, my energy will be used to research how to elevate the items I purchase or get for free in our current economy.   

    

Traditional ways of picking up free-bees are as follows: digital coupons, printables from the company when available, store coupons and reward programs, samples, and rebate apps such as IBOTTA.     I will seek additional ways to buy items at a significant discount or free.       


January (11 items)


Here is my February 2026 list of Free-Bees!  


February (13 Items)

  1. Milk (1 gallon)- Meijer Store Coupon

  2. Meijer Sliced Cheese (8 oz)- Meijer Store Coupon

  3. Blue Diamond Almond Milk (½ Gallon)- Kroger Store Coupon 

  4. 10 - 4x6 photos- CVS Store Coupon


Most Grateful for:  Dairy Products→ We eat a lot of dairy products, so anytime we are able to pick up dairy products at a reduced price or free, it is a blessing.      


What is your favorite deal this month? Blue Diamond Almond Milk Items


We are coming in a lot lower in our selection of free-bees that we picked up, but the quality is high and we will use every purchase to elevate our standard of living.   However, I was able to pick up much higher quality items at rock-bottom prices this month which will also help.

Living Large In the Cheap Seats---> June -July 2025

  Living Large In the Cheap Seats June- July 2025 I was first introduced to “Living Large In the Cheap Seats” by a college friend, Chris J., who introduced me to lawn tickets for popular bands.   We were able to see concerts at a significantly discounted rate.   After reading Brokenomics by Dina Gachman, I revised this concept and decided to share it with you.  I have been doing this for years and enjoyed wonderful experiences for FREE! Concert in the Park Series The Keehner Park concerts are 7-9 p.m. on select Saturdays between Memorial Day and Labor Day at the Keehner Park Amphitheater.  The free concerts welcome all guests to pack a picnic for the evening.  Sorry, but alcohol is NOT permitted. June 7 – Southwest Ohio Symphonic Band June 14 – Miami University Steel Drum Band   June 21- UC Community Band  June 28- West Chester Symphony Orchestra July 12-  Strings Attached Band July 19- Cincinnati Shakespeare Company - A Mid Summer Night's D...
