6/25/11 Wal-Mart Trip :: COMPLETELY FREE

I went shopping after I got off of work on Friday evening (well since I didn't get off until around midnight, would it actually be considered Saturday morning???) to Wal-Mart to get 8 pkgs of Tic Tacs (green apple flavor), which I previously mentioned my Wal-Mart had on clearance for $0.50. I used (8) $0.75/1 coupons and got a grand total of $1.60 back in CASH! My husband was so excited! He was actually instructed not to touch the tic tacs until after I had taken my pictures. hehe

p.s. it took me over an hour to construct this graphic -- I'm a little rustier in photoshop than I've previously though :(  However I did get my inspiration from this scrapbook template. I'd also like to thank my Mom for sending me like 6 of these tic tac coupons! I love that she sends me her extra coupons from her paper every week. This is the best example I have to date to show why coupons are so awesome!

FREE Sample of Dove Daily Treatment

I know Dove has done lots of FREE Samples for their daily treatment conditioners. I do not know if this offer is just ALIVE again or if it is a new freebie. I love getting FREE Dove Samples in the mail.. plus Dove usually sends good coupons with it.

FREE Sample of AlternaVites

AlternaVites is currently offering a free sample of their powder vitamins. I always enjoy finding new products to try.. who knows.. this could be the one sample that changes your life. Get yours today!

thanks, Michelle's Couponing 101

Save $5 on Tylenol Precise

Precise is a new product Tylenol put out for pain relief (available in heat patches and medicated cream). Their website is now offering a $5 off coupon when you register with them! This is an even sweeter deal if you can score this while it's on sale.. even without a sale, $5 off is still a pretty darn good coupon. Grab it while you can!

thanks, Michelle's Couponing 101

Even Sweeter, it's a BRICKS coupon!!! :):):)
Click here to bypass signing up and go straight to the coupon. :)
Triple whammy of sweetness, click HELP to get it mailed to you as well.

I always mail an extra coupon to my Mom who isn't very computer-savvy. I know she really appreciates getting great coupons in the mail. And even better, about weekly now, she mails me her extra coupons from her Sunday paper and sometimes the ones she gets in the mail (if I have a coupon mailed to her house that she doesn't think she'll use, she'll send it to me :D). For an extra coupon by mail, I would suggest asking your friends or neighbors if they mind if you have a coupon mailed to their house as well. Whenever I send my Mom these coupons I put their dog's name on it (thank god, he has a normal name and not one like Fluffy or something!) that way she'll know that I sent it and that it's not junk mail. The turn around for getting Bricks coupons by mail is actually pretty good. I usually receive these coupons within a week or so after requesting them.

FREE Breast Cancer Awareness Pin

1 Sale A Day is giving away FREE Breast Cancer awareness pins + free shipping. I recently just received my free lock and key in the mail. Head on over to score this sweet deal before it's gone!

FREE Cars 2 Coloring Pages

I just played Mater's Secret Mission on Facebook and won Cars 2 Coloring pages. Granted what I really wanted was the 2 free tickets to see the new movie but this is just as cool, I suppose. My nephew LOVES Cars. So much so I think his first word was "cawh" (with a new england accent -- even though he was born in FL). :)

FREE Sample of Murad

Stop by Sephora inside of JC Penney to get your FREE sample of Murad Oil-Control Mattifer SPF 15. I LOVE when Sephora has these print-at-home coupons for these freebies! I would love Sephora regardless because they have awesome make up.. but these are just pretty awesome too...

*offer valid until 7/13/11 or while supplies last

thanks, Michelle's Couponing 101

*edit: If they run out of whatever sample it says on your coupon, usually they will compensate you with a different free sample.

FREE Sample of Carefree Acti-Fresh Liners

Walmart.com has a new sample out now for Carefree Acti-Fresh liners. "They're thin & absorbent you'll forget you're wearing a liner." This is not normally a product I would buy OR use, however, I like to get the free sample because of the coupons that they usually come with.. esp. Carefree. The price is always right with this product and it's a great item to donate!


I realize I might sound selfish asking for a sample of a product I don't even use, but I do donate and/or give to my friends that are less fortunate and I think that has to always count for something!

Crest Samples from Wal-Mart

Walmart.com is offering new FREE Samples for Crest products.. most free samples come with valuable coupons!

For Example: In yesterday's mail I just received another FREE sample from Wal-Mart for the Huggies Pull-Ups Flushable Moist Wipes. While getting the sample was awesome (I am just starting to make a baby stockpile.. *ya'know, just in case*) and what made the sample even sweeter was that there was a coupon inside for $2/1... now if I am to stand corrected.. the last time I was at Wal-Mart, they had these wipes for $1.64 which means if I used the coupon I just got in the mail with my free sample, I will be making money off the purchase! I always love when a store pays you to take it's products! It doesn't always happen as often in the South US but we take what we can get down here. :)

Publix normally sells Olay Regenerist Regenerating Cream Cleanser for $6.99. This week as advertised it is apart of the $2.50 off sale making it $4.49/1. This is a very sweet deal to start out with... but wait, it gets even sweeter!

I bought two of these when I did my weekly shopping trip on Wednesday. I am well stocked up on this product from previous sales so I've decided to add it to my donation bin where I am hoping to accumulate several hundred dollars of merchandise before actually donating -- my husband would like to write it off on our taxes next year and doesn't want me to do the donating small amounts of the time. And I agree, if we're going to donate we're going to donate A LOT of stuff all at once rather than make several small trips (way not to waste gas, honey!)

My Rite Aid Experience, yesterday

I wanted to blog today about the experience I had yesterday at Rite Aid.. and let me tell you it wasn't a pleasant one. I had all of my transactions broken up, however, some of them they were completely wiped out of the product (no St. Joseph's aspirin or Colgate toothpaste, wtf?) and the other the cashier didn't know how to handle my coupons. At one point she voided a transaction and with that the coupons should have been voided off but instead they said they couldn't take my coupons for a different transaction because even though they've been voided by the computer the computer now considered them dead coupons. I am very lucky that my Publix takes Rite Aid coupons because I'm not sure how much longer I can continue to shop at Rite Aid. My cashier(s) were both very rude. I think she was starting to be very frustrated at ME for daring to use coupons at her store (I think she might have been the manager). I tried to get the Dial Body wash deal however the computer refused my coupon and the manager/cashier lady insisted it had to be because I didn't get the Nutriskin stuff because that was what was shown on the picture.  Anywhere else I've used those coupons at I haven't had a problem with the register taking them.. just at Rite Aid. Did anyone else encounter this problem?

My Rite Aid Shopping List this Week

I thought how cool would it be to share MY shopping list with you for Rite Aid this week. I've put a good 8+ hours into writing this sweet spreadsheet. It's taken me so long mostly because I kept double checking the coupons that I have vs which I need to print with frequent breaks to watch t.v.

Click here to download my Rite Aid Spreadsheet zip

It's been a long time since I've down a file share sort of thing. However, the good thing is that MediaFire is a completely free to use site and hasn't failed me yet when uploading files. I hope to be taking this shopping list with me later when my husband gets off work so we can go to Rite Aid together. He's always amazed at how little I can pay sometimes!

Save $2 off Digiorno Pizza + Sides product

On DiGiorno's facebook they are now offering a $2/1 Pizza and sides coupon. However, why get it off their facebook if I have the direct link to their bricks coupon (hehe). Also if you click HELP you can get it mailed to you as well. I love when Publix has the 2 for $11 deal on these pizzas. I pair it with my coupons and stock up. It feeds me and my hubby for about a week (not one pizza... we usually buy about 10 of them!). This makes me wish my other computer worked so I could print more than just two.. :( But the good news is, I'll most likely send this coupon to my parents as well and my mom will mail it back to me. :)

Winner of the L'Oreal Cosmetic Coupon Giveaway






Congratulations TBH4!

Thanks for participating everyone!

Wal-Mart scenario with Tic Tacs

I was at the Gulf Shores, Wal-Mart this evening and was able to find the green apple tic tacs on CLEARANCE for $0.50 each. I got the $0.75/1 *regional* coupon in my newspaper last Sunday. I was so happy to get the product for free and score overage. Be sure to check your local Wal-Mart's clearance section.. you never know what kind of awesome deal you might find!

Green Apple Tic Tac, $0.50
$0.75/1 Tic Tac candy
Final OOP: FREE + $0.25 overage!!!

Regular tic tacs usually retail for about $1 at Wal-Mart ($0.99 right now at the Gulf Shores, Publix) but the green apple flavor has been a little harder to come by lately as, a lot of stores are clearancing it out. If it's a flavor you like, or can stand, this is a GREAT deal!

L'Oreal Coupon Giveaway

Okay first things first. I have several L'Oreal coupons. This coupon giveaway is not in any way sponsored by L'Oreal. I've always done broad-spectrum coupon giveaways. I thought brand-specific might be a good switch up. Tell me if you like the idea. I am changing my rules a bit... as follows:
1. You MUST comment on THIS post only in order to be entered for this giveaway.
2. If posting anonymously please leave an email address so that I can then contact you if you win. If posting anonymously and this criteria is not met, your comment WILL be deleted.
3. This is a 24 hour giveaway. Which means by Thursday AM this giveaway will be over, a winner will be announced, contacted and the coupons will be subsequently mailed out.
4. If you would like to see other coupon categories be  featured on the coupon giveaway, feedback is certainly appreciated.
5. Refer your friends, family, fans. If you are referred please let me know who referred you. Also, if you are referring more entrants and you enter than you will get an extra entry every time one of your referrers enters. (meaning: if "xxx" enters and gets 5 "xs" to enter, than "xxx" gets 6 entries total. and the hope is that "xs" will also get 5 "dfg" to enter and then "xs", gets 6 entries)
6. There will ONLY be 1 winner.

Now for the coupons and the net worth of the coupons:
(3) Save $1/1 EverSleek, EverPure, EverStrong treatment
(3) Save $1/1 EverSleek, EverPure, EverStrong shampoo or conditioner

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW OVER. Winner will be announced shortly!

*UPDATED* Target Coupon Policy

Recently, Target's coupon policy has been changed and updated. You can view the new policy here. It may be a good idea to print the policy and put it with your other store coupon policies in your binder.. for future reference and in case you get a cashier that doesn't know a lot. Trust me, I've had them and if you don't watch them carefully with your coupons sometimes they won't use them and it will cause problems!

Save $2 off PUBLIX Produce

Remember when I told you to go sign up with stockingspree.com to get the $50 in Publix coupons? Well, if you referred 3 of your friends there they would send you an email for $2/1 Publix Produce item. The first time I signed up I never received this email.

Totally excited! =) I figured you guys would much rather get a direct link.. much easier!

Edit: you can also get it mailed to you. HOT-DIGGITY!

FREE 22oz Fountain Drink Deal Scenario @ Publix

This week 6/8-6/14, Publix has the Whole Buffalo Chicken Tender Sub on sale for $6.99. There is a coupon for a FREE 22oz fountain drink that is valid from 6/2-6/30 but the sub is only on sale this week. Haven't tried this sub yet (for the record, it's delish!)? Well, now is your chance.. and you can also use the coupon to get a FREE 22oz fountain drink to go with it. Perfect for lunch!

Did you miss last night's episode of Extreme Couponing (6/8)?

Did you miss the 6/8 episode of Extreme Couponing? Fear not! I've got your hookup. Click here to watch it FREE online.

Please note: I know that some couponers SWEAR by using clipping services, but I, in NO way, condone it. If you read the fine print on most coupons they will state: "Void if altered, copied, SOLD,  etc." Clipping services will try to say that they are selling their TIME but if they are giving you a coupon and you are giving them money in return for that said coupon, they are SELLING it to you and you. Do not be fooled! I get all of my coupons the legitimate way.. buy buying several newspapers when I know there are good coupons inside. Occasionally, one or two of my co-workers will buy a Sunday paper and give me their coupons. Also, my mom will mail me her the coupons from her Sunday paper that she did not want.

If you have not read Jill Cataldo's blog about gang-cutting coupons, I STRONGLY suggest it.. Also, if you purchase coupons from a clipping service, chances are they gang-cutting those coupons that you are purchasing and the stores that you use the coupon at MAY NOT BE GETTING REIMBURSED for the coupon. Please don't give COUPONING a bad name; keep it honest!

Lastly, if you haven't already check out CIC (coupon information corporation)'s website, here.

*HOT* PopChips BOGO coupon

When you like PopChips on Facebook you can get a BOGO coupon.. which is rare for PopChips.. or you can just click THIS link, which goes straight to the brick's coupon & subsequent printer. Hurry and print this coupon, I'm sure this offer won't last long!

California Pizza Kitchen $5 off $15 coupon

When you become a fan (like them!) of California Pizza Kitchen, on Facebook, you can register to get a $5 off $15 dining coupon. They will email you the printable coupon. 


Go here to find a CPK location near you!
