Olay Rebate Reminder

Remember the Olay Rebate that I mentioned in an earlier post...this week at Walgreens, you'll be able to make this into a great deal. Buy the Olay Quench Body Lotion for $7.99, and get the Olay In Shower Body Lotion for free.



You can then submit for the Olay Quench rebate (get a check mailed to you for $7.99) and get both products free. If you have the $1 coupons that were in the paper a couple of weeks ago, you could do this same deal...use 2 $1 coupons, pay $5.99, submit for the rebate (get a check mailed to you for $7.99) and get the two products free...PLUS make a profit of $2.00!! Remember if you have any register rewards, you can make this deal even sweeter!!

Go here to print off the rebate form:

Remember, you MUST have the original receipt to send in for the rebate!!

Free Baby Lotion Sample

How often do you get excited to check the mail? If you are like most people, then the answer is not very often...too many bills, bills, and more bills to get excited, right? Over the last several months, I've started requesting free samples from different companies, and it makes checking the mail so much more interesting.

I found a sample that is available today, that would be great for all of you moms. Baby Barn is sending out 2 2.5 oz bottles (think travel size) of their baby body wash and baby lotion. These would be great to stick in diaper bags, or if your kids have outgrown this stuff, great for shower gifts or to donate to others. To request your free sample go to:

http://www.baby-barn.com/washlotioncombosample.php

Samples usually take between 4 to 6 weeks to arrive, and by that time you will probably have forgotten about requesting it, so it will be like a little present in the mail. :)

Diaper Deal Reminders

Just wanted to remind all of you about the diaper deals this week.

WALGREENS
At Walgreens Huggies Diapers are priced at $8.99, and if you buy 3 packs you will receive a $5 Register Reward. There are several spots you can go to get coupons for Huggies diapers.

www.coupons.com has a $3 coupon (you should be able to print this off twice). There have been reports that this coupon has reset, so if you printed it off before, you might want to go there again and see if it has reset since the last time you printed it.

If you become a fan of Huggies on Facebook, you will be able to print a $3 coupon.

Go here to get another $3 coupon...you should be able to print from this link twice.
http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?bt=vi&tqnm=zcroccy60832626&o=62589&c=TW&p=UtwDRs5z


There were also $1.50 and $2.00 coupons in this Sunday's newspaper.

With all of these coupons, you should be able to get several bags of diapers at a good price!!

CVS

CVS also has a diaper deal this week. If you buy Pampers diapers, priced at $8.97, you will receive a $3.00 Extra Care Buck. You are allowed to do this deal twice.

There were $2.00 coupons off Pampers diapers in the newspaper a couple of weeks ago, so when you combine the coupons with the Extra Care Bucks you will be able to get some relatively inexpensive diapers!!

Good Luck!!

Swagbucks...Earn prizes by searching the Internet

I joined Swagbucks at the end of December, and since joining i have earned $50.00 in Amazon gift cards.

What is Swagbucks?
Swagbucks is a search engine (like google, yahoo, ask.com), except when you use the Swagbucks search engine, you have the opportunity to earn Swagbucks. You can then trade in the Swagbucks that you earn for different prizes...electronics, music, but my favorite is gift cards. The gift cards that I earn are going into my Amazon account, and I'm saving them up to help with Christmas this next year. I am hoping by then to have at least $100. Not a whole lot, but it is free money and it will definitely help stretch our Christmas budget.

I've had people tell me that they don't ever search online, so it won't work for them. Before I joined Swagbucks, I didn't search either. When I joined, I put the Swagbucks toolbar on my Internet Explorer toolbar. Now instead of typing in the web address where I used to, I simply "search" it through the Swagbucks search engine. Example, instead of typing in www.facebook.com, I simply search facebook through Swagbucks. No real difference, but when I do it this way I have the chance to earn Swagbucks.

I was very skeptical of this when I first started, so I didn't want to tell anyone about it. After doing it for 3 months, I am amazed at the fact that I am essentially earning free money just by going to different websites. I've told several family members and friends about this, and they are now earning Swagbucks too.

Swagbucks does offer more points if you sign up for different programs through them, but I have never done any of that. The Swagbucks that I've earned have come from simply searching the Internet. I thought some of you could benefit from "free money" too. It takes several days to get the hang of it, but if you are interested in trying it, simply click on the banner below to get started.

Free Lunchables and Taco Seasoning!!

Did you notice the coupon for $1.oo of one package of Lunchables Lunch Combinations that was in yesterday's paper? These are normally priced at around $1.46 at our local Wal-Mart. I ran by there today and they had a couple different varieties on sale for $1.00...so with the coupon, you'll be able to get this for FREE!! Prices at Wal-Mart will vary depending on where you live, but if you happen to be heading to Wal-Mart, swing by the sandwich meat section and see if you can find yourself some free Lunchables. The ones that were priced at $1.00 were on the top shelf at the Wal-Mart on Sherwood Way.

A couple weeks ago there were also coupons for $0.75 off any McCormick seasoning in the newspaper. There were also coupons for $1.00 off any McCormick seasoning at http://www.coupons.com/ (I'm not sure if these are still available). Certain McCormick Taco/Fajita seasonings are priced at $0.50 at Wal-Mart right now, so if you happen to have these coupons, you can also get yourself some free seasoning along with your free sandwiches!!

Good Luck!!

Albertsons Trip March 21

I posted earlier about several different sales that Albertsons is running this week (through Tuesday, March 23). I wanted to show you that the deals I posted about, are deals that you can REALLY do. I bought everything pictured below, and spent...

CVS Trip March 21

My new goal for shopping at CVS and Walgreens is to see how many items I can get for under $5. I also want to try to leave the store with at least a few Extra Care Bucks every week, so that I will be able to use those ECBs for next week's shopping trip. I bought everything pictured below (minus a Cadbury Egg that didn't make it into the picture...my husband got ahold of it :), and spent...

$0.57!! Yes 57 cents!! And I left the store with $3 in Extra Care Bucks!! I broke my trip up into two different transactions.

Transaction #1

I started my shopping trip with a coupon that CVS emailed to me for $4 off any $20 purchase. In order to use it, my total had to be at least $20 BEFORE coupons!!

2 bottles of Cover Girl Liquid Foundation $6 each

-minus 1 coupon for Buy one Cover Girl Product Get one Free (for the one I got free)

-minus 1 coupon for $1 off any Cover Girl Product (for the one I had to pay for)

Final cost: $5 (This also generated a $3 Extra Care Buck)

1 Air Wick Scented Oil starter kit $4.99

-minus 1 $4 coupon

Final cost: $0.99

1 tube of Colgate Total Toothpaste $3.99

-minus 1 $1 coupon

Final cost: $2.99 (This also generated a $3.99 Extra Care Buck)

1 100 Grand Candy Bar

-The cashier made me get something extra, because after coupons the store would have owed me money, and she wouldn't allow that...so I had to pick this up to get my total back up to a positive number.

I also used the CVS store coupon for $4 off any $20 purchase and a $5 Extra Care Buck from last week.

Total for Transaction #1...$0.05, and I received $6.99 in Extra Care Bucks

Transaction #2

1 bag of Pampers diapers $8.97

-minus 1 $2 coupon

1 Cadbury Egg

-Again, the cashier made me pick up something extra, because after coupons and Extra Care Bucks, the store would have owed me money.

I also used the $6.99 in Extra Care Bucks that I earned from Transaction #1.

Total for Transaction #2...$0.52, and I received $3 in Extra Care Bucks.

What can you get for under $5.00? Once you start using your coupons and Extra Care Bucks, you'll be surprised at how many items you can get for $5!!

Good luck!!
