New Home Made Simple coupon booklet!!!

There's a new Home Made Simple coupon booklet you can sign up for, this time it's called "Organize in Style"...I hope it comes with the $1 Dawn Hand Renewal coupon since we get those FREE at CVS quite often, if not, I sure will miss those.......anyhoo, sign up for yours [HERE]

New $1/1 Clean & Clear printable!!!

YAYYYYY!!!!! I'm sooooo excited! SmartSource.com has a new $1 printable coupon for any Clean & Clear product. There's also a $1 Target printable which you can combine with the $1 manufacturer coupon to get a total of $2 off one full sized product. The reason I'm so excited is because I still have a raincheck for the Finishes facial moisturizer (pictured above) from when they were on sale at Target for only $2....so, for ME this is how my deal will look.

Buy Clean & Clear Finishes moisturizer (reg $6.49)

Use $1/1 coupon from SmartSource.com

Use $1/1 Target printable

Use my Raincheck to make each product $2

Final price = FREE!!! woohoo!

***if you don't have a raincheck, you can use the $1 printable from SmartSource.com and use it at Target for a FREE trial sized Clean & Clear product since the coupon has no size restriction.

Walmart is offering a free sample of Better than Ears treats for dogs....you can access the sample [HERE].

Surprise peelie coupon on large drink cup at McDonald's

We went to McDonald's the other night and ordered a large drink (lately we've been buying drinks there since they are only $1 for any size)....to our surprise it had a peelie coupon like pictured above for a FREE 12oz. Smoothie or Frappe!!! It expires on 8/15 just like the ones that were in the Parade magazine a couple weeks ago. The only weird thing I noticed, is that it says it is for "your future visit" , "at least 2 hours after initial visit"....so, I'm guessing you can't buy the drink, then turn around and get the free smoothie right away...kinda strange, but oh well....lol.

BOGO Soft Serve cone @ Baskin Robbins!

There's a printable coupon available for a FREE Regular soft serve cone at Baskin Robbins w/ the purchase of a regular soft serve cone [HERE]. Keep in mind prices may vary by location, but at the Patterson (CA) store on Sperry Ave, (and also the Ripon store) it's only 99¢, so after coupon it's 2 for 99¢!!

FREE One Touch meter!

Are you diabetic??? If so, answer a few questions [HERE] and see if you qualify for a FREE One Touch mini starter kit which will include 10 test strips! After answering the questions, if you are offered a free meter you will even get to choose your favorite color out of the bunch.

M&Ms coupon Sweepstakes!! =possible FREE M&Ms!!!

There's an M&Ms coupon sweepstakes going on....it kinda reminds me of last year's "Real Chocolate" promotion....sign up [HERE], and hopefully they will send you a coupon for a FREE bag of M&Ms candy. You can also enter daily through August 27th. They will be giving away over 500,000 coupons, so those are really good odds of winning!

*I say "hopefully" since when you sign up all it says is, "thank you for entering"....hmmmm, I'd just sign up anyway since last year I got at least 4 of these coupons in the mail...never hurts to try..lol.

$2.99 meal deal @ Quiznos is back!

Yay! There's a printable coupon available for a $2.99 meal at Quiznos again! The meal includes:

10¢ Bic pens @ Target!

Target will have their 10 pack BIC cristal pens on sale for 60¢ this week (7/18-7/24), they also have a $1/2 Target coupon on their website,

•Buy 2 Bic Cristal 10 packs ($1.20)

•Use the $1/2 Target printable

•Final price= 20¢ for both!

*Best thing is that when you use Target coupons, you don't pay tax on the amount of that coupon, so we would only be paying tax on 20¢!

NEW Gain Dish Soap coming soon + Walmart sampling event

I received this random postcard with coupons from P&G ( I have no idea how, I didn't sign up for it) , anyway, it had a coupon for a FREE 11 0z. bottle of new Gain dish soap which will be in stores this August...I had never heard of this dishsoap before so I decided to "google" it & see what other information I could find....to my surprise, I stumbled upon a Walmart sampling event for this new dish soap, evidently they will be handing out free 11 0z. samples as well!!! That's a pretty good size sample...(the FREE Dawn with Olay dishsoap we've been getting free at CVS with the Home Made Simple coupons are around 9 oz., so it's even a little bigger than that, woohoo!!)

Did anyone else get this awesome coupon in the mail this week???!!!?

The Walmart sampling event will run anywhere between 7/22-7/25/10, you can check if there are any participating stores near you [HERE]

***for my local readers: looks like the only store participating is the SuperCenter in Modesto (on McHenry Ave)...which will actually be on Saturday the 24th, from 11 am-4pm.

FREE Kool Aid Fun Fizz @ Savemart!

I spotted these trial packs of Kool Aid Fun Fizz at Savemart and if you have any $1/1 tearpad coupons you can get these free since they have no size restriction. I also found a $1/1 coupon included with a free sample of the Kool Aid Fun Fizz that was in a multi-pack of Oreo & chips ahoy cookies I purchased a few weeks ago....so, you may have these stashed in your binder somewhere. I actually had them since the beginning of the year when my fiancee found them at FoodMaxx, they had a long expiration date (12/31/10!), so I held on to them and , a few months later.....came in handy. Oh, and the coupon went through with no beeps!

The trial pack includes 4 drink drops: 2 punch, and 2 grape....my son tried them and loves them, and I feel better giving him these than other sugary drinks since these only have 5 calories per drop & have NO SUGAR! :) If you don't have these coupons, you can look on ebay, I saw some going for around 99¢ for 10, not too bad.

FREE trial sized products @ Target!

Yesterday's paper had a few coupons you can use at Target to get FREE trial sized products...

Pantene hairspray

Use $1/1 any Pantene styler, treatment or hairspray 7/4 P&G

Final Price=FREE!

...

Olay single bar soap
Use $1/1 any bar soap, bodywash or in shower lotion 7/4 P&G
Final Price=FREE!
...

Olay Quench mini lotion
Use $1/1 any Olay lotion 7/4 P&G
Final Price=FREE!
...

Tide single load packet
Use $1/1 any Tide laundry detergent 7/4 P&G
Final price=FREE!

***although none of these coupons have a size restriction, some cashiers don't like the idea of us getting trial sized items free, so be sure to have your Target Coupon Policy handy which says if the value of the coupon exceeds the value of the item it may be adjusted down. I find that if I explain to the cashier (or sometimes even a team leader!) how to adjust the coupon, it makes it much easier...so, I always tell the cashier that it's usually done manually by pressing the "K4" button, followed by "manufacturer coupon" (I think it's "K2"), then it will prompt the cashier to enter the amount of the discount, that's it!!! Just be sure they don't scan the coupon before they press the "K4" button, otherwise it won't work.

FREEBIE @ El Pollo Loco

El Pollo Loco is offering a coupon for a FREE Flame-grilled chicken leg with any purchase. Here's a funny thought, my fiancee Jonathan likes the chicken burritos from there, but since they're almost $4, he usually orders the $1 BRC burrito and a chicken leg , then he turns the leg into chicken pieces and adds them to his burrito, he turns a $4 burrito, to $2...w/ no coupons!!! LOL....so now, with this coupon he'll be able to make his "special burrito" for only $1....hahahaha.

Offer valid from July 5-7th only!

Rite Aid coupon

If you havn't done your Video Values to earn the $5/$20 coupon, I have good news for you, there's a new $5/$25 pdf coupon [HERE] which doesn't have a print limit and doesn't expire until 7/31! This is a good coupon to use with your FREE item coupons.

Kmart Doubles next week!

Kmart has once again planned a Kmart Double promotion on a Holiday week, last time it was starting Easter Sunday, this time it's starting on Independence day 7/4-7/10/10. You can access the list of participating stores [HERE]....and like always, they've added something new to their rules, they will only be doubling coupons in the Health & Beauty departments....so basically no groceries, cleaning & paper products, pet food, and sadly, NO FREE GUM w/ our BOGO gum coupons :(

Keep in mind you must have a "shop your way" rewards card in order to be able to participate, this way they keep track of your 5 coupon limit per person per day. If you don't have one, you can sign up at the customer service desk when you get there. I'll be posting deals as I find out prices, etc. Stay Tuned!

My Trip to Rite Aid..... 7/1/10

One of the best things I like about getting FREE after coupon items, is that you build your amount up to $20 on the FREE items, then use the $5/$20 on 1 or two extra items to get those FREE as well....here's what I did:

StayFree pads are on sale this week BOGO (2/$3.99)....

Bought 6 packages of Stayfree pads @ $3.99/2

Bought 2 Got2be products w/ a bonus! (reg price $6.49, but with my wellness+ card they rang up $5.84)

Used $5/20 printable coupon from watching video values

Used 3 BOGO Stayfree coupons (-$11.97)

Used 2 $3/1 Got2be Rite Aid printable coupons from video values

Used 2 $1 Got2be manufacturer coupons I got from BzzAgent

Subtotal = -$1.32

+tax ($1.56)....Final Price= 24¢!!! yay!

*I didn't realize until I got home why I went into a negative balance before tax. Well, evidently I earned a 10% discount on the Got2be with my wellness card from getting points from previous purchases I think, I'm still not too familiar with the Wellness+ program...... overall this trip was a good deal!

Cheap Dentyne Pure gum @ Walgreens!

Yay!!! .....ok, so remember the BOGO Dentyne Pure coupons I told you to look for at either at Food Maxx or Safeway??? Well, I hope you got a hold of some because I have a sweet deal to share with you at Walgreens this week:

Dentyne gum on sale this week 3 for $1.98 through sat

Buy 6 packs -or in pairs of 3 so you can use the Walgreens coupon if that makes sense...($3.98)

Use 2 bogo coupons (-66¢ each, now your total is $2.66 )

Use 99¢/3 Walgreens coupon from July Coupon Booklet (will deduct 99¢ for every 3 packs)

=68¢ for all 6 packages! (or only 11¢ each!!!)

***now this is the price if your cashier enters the amount of 66¢ when he/she scans the BOGO coupon, I noticed on my receipt, that my cashier deducted the regular price, so I ended up with FREE gum, but they will still get reimbursed for the amount they deducted. No wonder I didn't get to use all the coupons I handed him, it was already exceeding the value of the gum. woohoo! But, If you don't get lucky, worst case scenario you pay 11¢ a pack which is still a heck of a deal. & of course if you'd like, you can just skip this deal and wait for a FREE deal since the coupons are good through the rest of the year.
