This weeks deals

I took a blogging class yesterday and decided to give it a try. So, here goes on my latest obsession. I have saved over $600 in March alone on coupons and rebates. I try to do my couponing on Monday mornings so I'll keep you posted on the latest killer deals at the grocery stores. They only way to get the super killer deals is by clipping the coupons out of the Sunday paper. Even if you think you would never use them, clip them anyway. You may change your mind if it ends up being free. You can always donate stuff to shelters or food banks if you can get it free.

FREE stuff and samples:

Print out a Borders coupon for 25% off list price of one item (3/28 - 4/1)
Get your free sample of Hamburger Helper Microwave Singles, click here. (Just tried mine for lunch and its a super small portion and really salty (plus who knows what kind of meat that was I just ate) but, for free, I would give it to a kid. Its about a little kid portion anyway, which must be why they show a kid making it on their marketing materials)
Get a Gas-X Thin Strip free sample, click here.
Free sample of Staphaseptic, click here
Get a free sample of Garnier Nutritioniste, click here.
Get a free sample of Carnation Instant Breakfast, may or may not be good in your area, click here.
Sign up for a coupon for free Coffee-Mate, up to $3.99. It comes via snail mail.
Print off coupons for Dawn Direct Foam and Cascade, click here.
Print off coupons for Pantene, click here.
Print off coupons for Swiffer WetJet, click here.
Free sample of Always, click here.
Print $2 coupon on Olay Definity, click here.
Free sample of Dove Body Lotion, click here.
Print off $5 coupon on Schiff Move Free, click here.
Pantene $2/1 Here is a link I got in my email. When you sign up, they will mail you a coupon for $2/1 Pantene. link: http://www.pantene.com/en_US/index.jsp

Join the PREVACID "Beyond the Burn" program. http://www.prevacid.com/. They will mail you some info and an instant savings card. Use each time you go to the pharmacy and show your card you automatically receive up to $25 off your co-pay (no rebates to mail in). It's valid until Dec. 31, 2007.

Print out the form for $5 back when you buy 3 Jolly Time Microwave Pop Corns plus Open Season DVD. (10/31/07)

And, don't forget about the Safeway movie deal. Buy 10 participating frozen items and get two free movie tickets up to $12 each. Nice way to go see a movie for FREE and not have to go to an early bird show to get cheaper tickets. I bought the green giant vegetables (print off coupons here: http://www.bettycrocker.com/coupons-promotions/coupons/default.aspx) since almost everything else listed was junk food. At least we'll eventually eat the frozen vegs. AND there's a rebate form for green giant vegetables here: (http://www.bettycrocker.com/NR/rdonlyres/4E463917-648E-44E9-B17B-141BB10679E9/0/GGrebateform.pdf) so if you're not crazy about them you can get your money back on at least one of them. I thought the corn was waaayyy too buttery, so I just listed that as my reason for dissatisfaction or you could list value as your reason. Whatever....it just ends up being another SUPER KILLER DEAL

Combine this with the Rite Aid rebate on Dr. Pepper good through the end of March (see Rite Aid list here:The RiteAid Weekly Double Plays (to 3/24 & 3/31) . Print out this list in pdf format. )and you get a Super Killer Deal.

Dr. Pepper seems to be on a Spring marketing blitz, so stock up if you like the stuff

Send to
Diet Try It Refund Offer
Box 49145
Strongsville, OH 44149-0145
I already bought mine for the Rite Aid rebate anyway, so I will copy the receipt and send in for my rebate. BUT if you haven't bought any recently Albertsons has them on sale 3/28 - 4/3 for 10/$10. So,,,,,only a buck each AND you get your money back. I'm not crazy about Dr. Pepper, but can use it for parties and camping, etc.
