Gatekeeper at Cedar Point – Win Tickets

Have you heard? Cedar Point is opening this Saturday, May 11th!  Are you as excited as I am?

Read on to find out how to enter to win a 4-pack of tickets to Cedar Point!

This Thursday, I was invited to Media Day at Cedar Point and was able to preview the new winged roller coaster, Gatekeeper.  Before even entering the park I was blown away by the new entrance.  Not only are there trendy new buildings for ticket sales, guest services, and season passes but there is also a new gate with a super sized screen above it welcoming you to Cedar Point.  I had to chuckle when I saw that one of the sayings on the sign said, “Yes, you ARE here yet”.  For those of you with little ones, you are sure to understand.

It felt great to finally enter the park after the long winter months.  We spend so much time at Cedar Point as a family, five months out of the year, that it really feels like our second home.  With season passes, we are able to visit the park from the warm days in May to the crisp cool nights during Halloweekends in October.

As you walk through the newly designed gates you’ll get a rush of excitement as you look up at the new coaster as it zooms by overhead.  I love that this allows everyone the opportunity to a part of the Gatekeeper even if they don’t actually ride!

This unique coaster is unlike any other as it’s not only the longest winged roller coaster but it also has the longest drop of any winged roller coaster on the planet!  You’ll zoom up to speeds of 67 miles per hour during your over 2 minute and 30 second ride.  Since you are actually sitting on the wings of this coaster be sure to ride from both sides so you’ll get a different experience both times.  This ride is a MUST-DO for any coaster enthusiast.  Throughout the day I heard excitement from all around as they exclaimed their own love for this ride.

Five Things You Shouldn’t Pay Full Price For!

Welcome New Day Cleveland viewers!  I hope you love to save money!  If you do, I can help you out!

Be sure to “like” me on Facebook to keep up with all the latest deals!

 

Today on New Day Cleveland I shared,  Five Things You Should Never Pay Full Price For.  Here’s a recap.

 

1.  Personal care items:  Personal care items such as  toothpaste and shampoo are must-have staple but lucky for us, we can easily get these items for pennies on the dollar and sometimes even for free.  Even if you are not an avid couponer it’s easy to snag these savings at your local drug stores by keeping an eye on your local ad and my website.  If you haven’t already, head over and snag a FREE full-sized bottle of body wash from CVS (if still available).

3.  Magazines:  Cover prices can be really high so instead, grab a low cost subscription to your favorite magazine.  You can save as much as 90% off of the cover price if you shop around.  Each day, I post a magazine of the day.  Today your can snag a years subscription to Elle for only $4.49 which makes it only $.37 an issue!  Or head over and snag Family Circle for only $3.99 which is only $.33 an issue!

You can also grab a BOGO FREE subscription to the ever popular All You Magazine!  Want to shop in the store?  Here are three magazine printable coupons that you can use.

$0.50 off on All You Magazine $1.00 off your favorite magazine $1.00 off on Real Simple Magazine


2.  Clothing:  Head for the clearance racks as soon as you head into any store.  By buying your clothes off-season you’ll be able to save a ton on money.  If you have a favorite store that you like to shop at be sure to head over to their Facebook page or website and sign up for their newsletter.

4.   Restaurants:  Find local places where you can score great deals or that offer half off appetizers or free kids meals.  Signing up for email alerts from your favorite restaurants will also keep coupons regularly in email.  Keep your Entertainment Book or other special coupons in the car with you so you’ll be able to slash your bill even when eating out on a spur of the moment.  Don’t forget, you can snag a $.50 ice cream cone at Burger King!

5. Cereal:  Each week there are deals for cereal at your local grocery store.  Once you pair these deals with a coupon you’ll really see the savings stack up.  While $1 or less is a stock-up price for me, below you’ll find a good cereal deal that you can find at CVS for just a little bit more.

Cheerios – $2.29
$.50 CVS coupon from in-store coupon machine
STACK with
$.50 Cheerios printable coupon
or
$.75 Multi Grain Cheerios printable coupon
