Coupons for La Choy Creations and Eagle Mills flour

Woohoo! I love getting flour coupons, and since these are on the same page, may as well get them both right? You never know when your going to see a really good sale, or find something on clearance and wish you had printed that coupon.

Free Sample Playtex Gentle Glide



Well, I know this is an expense a lot of us deal with, and I know I haven't seen very many deals where this becomes free, so any time I can get a freebie of it, I'm there. So, all you do is go here, fill out your information, and a few questions, hit submit, and they will send you your sample (which includes 3 tampons) in 4-6 weeks.

And here come more freebies!!

But again, if all of these tabs still work, there are too many for a separate post, so have at them all in this post!

Ritz Munchables-Here's another one of the facebook fan freebies. Just go to facebook, become a fan here, and  then click on the green square (where it says to) fill out your information, and they will send you your free sample. (4-6 weeks).

Physicians Formula- okay, not exactly a freebie, but almost. It's a b1g1 free coupon that they're giving you. So again, go to facebook and become a fan here. Then you need to register (click on "Register now") fill out your info in the pop-up and they will email you your coupon. Now, most of these I would fill out with your junk email address, but this one, you may not want to, just in case it gets lost in there. It also actually looks like you can print the coupon twice!

10th Anniversary freebies- This is great. Vistaprint is having a 10th anniversary sale here, and they have 10 products that they are willing to give you for absolutely free! But the offer ends in 2 days, so you have to act fast! There are return address labels, business cards, calendars, tote bags and more! I haven't done it yet, because I want to get this done first, (and with the uploading of photos and such... I'll do that next), so I don't know, but I'll be willing to bet you need to pay shipping at least on the order, if not on the individual items. edit: you do have to pay shipping, but slow shipping (21 days) is $5.97. Still a fantastic deal!

Free Puffs Plus to-go pack- Yay for these! I love keeping them in my purse or diaper bag, so that I actually have tissues with me when I need them. So, go here and enter your vocalpoint email address and password. If you are not a member yet, go here to sign up. Once you are registered, and have logged in through the first link (puffs) fill out your information and hit submit. You will be sent a package, and it should be there within 3-5 weeks.

Free Stride Gum-Here's another facebook one. Go become a fan of Stride gum, and then go to the MegaMystery tab. You will need to use Firefox for this one, because it seems the others have a bug. But once you're on the MegaMystery tab, click on the Stride gum picture, and then fill out your information and they will send you a package of the mystery flavor.

So there you are. 5 new freebies for you all to check out. Have fun!

And the results are in...

Well, the results of my work doing couponing anyway. I've been doing various freebies, and rebates, and they have started to make their way into my mailbox. These have come over the past 2-2 1/2 weeks.
 So, I've got a coupon, 2 things of shampoo and conditioner, a bar of soap, a packages of prunes and an $8 check! I love this. All except the check were freebies, and the check made it so that I got 2 packages of paper for $1 each. My favorite use for the shampoo/conditioner samples... TRAVELING!! I don't have to pack full sized anything, and these are very unlikely to burst in transit, and they take up very very little space. I'm hoping to have enough of these by July when we go on our family vacation. I'm also hoping to have saved enough from couponing, and my survey sites that we don't really have to pay anything from my husband's paycheck.

Ad match-ups for the week of March 15-20

Okay everyone, I figured that since I match things up anyway, I'd let you all take a peek at my list. Most of these are from the Sunday papers, but I didn't write which week (sorry, maybe next time) However, I found this great website, that you can go to, and enter in the brand name, and it will tell you what coupons are available from the Sunday papers, and then tell you what insert they're from! Great isn't it! If the coupon isn't on the list, then I probably printed it from online, from either Coupons.com, smartsource.com, or target's coupons. So yeah, here ya go. Next time I'll try to be better about getting you the specific coupons.

So many freebies!!!

Wow, So, I have tons and tons of freebies that I've found (if they all work) and I don't have time to go through and give them all their own separate post. So this is going to be the major post of the day with all of these freebies in it. They all worked for me, hopefully they'll all work for you as well.
Here's the first one.  Olay Total Effects. I'm actually currently using it, and it's pretty good, though I don't know about it's claim to younger looking skin. So, go to the website, click on request your free sample, follow the directions, fill out the information, and you should have your freebie in about 4 weeks.


And for number 2: Get a $1/1 coupon for Kix here. I love those coupons, especially on cereal, because as long as they are not DNDs then if you have a store that will double, you can get cereal for really really cheap. You should be able to print it twice (yay for that) and it will expire 1 month after you print it. Edit, it is a DND, so no doubling, but it is still $1/1

For our third freebie, HURRY HURRY HURRY, there are only 10,000 of these spring cleaning kits from SC Johnson. This includes:
One box ziploc bags
One Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning gel
One Pouch of Pledge Multi-Surface wipes
Go fill out your information, but then you'll have to wait, because they aren't being mailed out until June 15th. Hopefully a good number of us will get in the first 10,000.
Okay, okay, this one isn't a freebie, but we all need lots of printer ink, and here is a great code. eForCity.com has great prices on ink, and the ink works very well, even though they're not actually the name brands. They do have a 10% off code effective right now though. You can use the code EF10YEAR to get 10% off any order, including printer ink, through March 31st. (Thanks Melea for this one)

The next one is more coupons actually. We have an offer from Kraft foods and P&G to get $20 worth of coupons for Albertson's. Now, for any of us living here in Utah, that doesn't necessarily do a whole lot of good, seeing as we don't have any Albertson's anymore, but they may be Manufacturer coupons, in which case they would be great. Just go here and fill out your information and they'll send you your coupons in the mail, and you should have them in 2 to 3 weeks.
Okay, anyone for free children's books? Let me tell you I sure am. Go here to find books, and you can open them with Adobe Acrobat (which you can download for free here) Yay! for reading to our children!

Okay, so some of them actually were already expired, but that still felt like a lot. Go get 'em!

Rite Aid

Well, the CoverGirl freebie I told you about (double up the b1g1s) worked. Unfortunately though, I have to say that overall I am not very pleased with Rite Aid. They just didn't have very good stock. I tried to get some of the deals I had looked at, and they were out of the products, and for the CoverGirl, they were out of my color in all but 1 type. Now, I didn't complain too much on that one, because they did have my color, and it was free, but unless there are super good things like that again, I probably won't be shopping at Rite Aid very much.

Free Huggies Snug & Dry sample



Free diapers are my favorite! Yes, it is a sample, so only 2, but still, especially on this one, I'll take what I can get. Fill out your information here and answer the questions at the bottom of the page. Submit it and then wait 4-6 weeks. You do NOT have to be a Costco member to get this.

Free Nelson's Pure and Clear Face Wash


Yay! for free samples, but they only have 5,000, act fast. Go here and fill out your information. Unfortunately, it won't tell you whether or not you're one of the 5,000 when you register, but it may send an email to you about it.

$1 Wheat Thins coupon


Go here to get a $1 off coupon when you become a fan on facebook. This is great! Especially if you have access to a store that will double coupons, then you can get this for free or nearly free. Yay! I love this. Its so fun.

Rite Aid Freebies

So my friend over at Our Thrifty Ideas Become One let me know about this great deal at Rite Aid. They will allow you to stack a b1g1 coupon on top of their b1g1 deal. She got $42 worth of cosmetics for pennies (tax is still applicable). For those of you who've been getting the Sunday papers, you should have a b1g1 Covergirl coupon. It was in the February 7th P&G packet. Rite Aid has a b1g1 promotion going on for the exact same thing. Free Makeup anyone?!?!?! Now, That worked at her Rite Aid in the Salt Lake Valley, I'll be going to one down here in Utah Valley to see if they do that here too. Hopefully it is a company-wide thing.
Thanks Nessa!

Free LCD nightlight

Now, I know, not everyone needs a nightlight, but if you have nieces, nephews, grandchildren, children, or even just friends with small children, this is free, so you may as well get it for one of them!

Just go here, sign up (close the pop-up window, you don't need it), and they will ship you a FREE LCD nightlight in the next 7 to 10 business days

Free Purex 3-in-1

Okay, so I told you last night that I was going to get you some freebies today, well, here's the start of those. Taking care of my baby obviously takes first precedence, but she's asleep right now. As long as she stays that way, I have a lot of tabs in my browser with links to free stuff. Hopefully they all still work for you.
Go here to get a free sample of the Purex 3-in-1 (it has 2 sheets). You just need to fill out your information and a few questions, and then they'll send you a sample (6-8 weeks for delivery)

Sorry, and good Walgreen's deal!

I know, I know, its been a few days since I posted, which isn't as normal anymore. We've had some interesting things going on this week here at my place, (including fixing my computer) so I haven't really been able to get on here. I promise though, tomorrow will have as many freebies as I can find, as well as some good deals. To start off with... here is my favorite deal from Walgreen's this week.
Walgreen's has the John Frieda collection on sale for $5.99, but there is an in store coupon for $2 off.  If you don't have the coupon, no worries, it is in the blue March booklet that is by the ads when you first walk in. So, now, we're seeing the fancy salon-quality hair care on sale for $3.99. That's looking much more reasonable. But wait! In this week's (3-7) Smartsource coupon booklet there was another coupon... $3 off of 1! Let me tell you, I was way excited to get these for $0.99 each. I get 4 papers a week, so I got 2 shampoos and 2 conditioners for $4 (plus tax). Sorry, I know its a little late in the week, but you still have 2 days to be able to get this deal.

Best Shopping Trip EVER!!!

Oh my goodness! this week was fantastic as far as my shopping trip was concerned. I went to a few different stores, and came home with loads of goodies. However, I think I have completely run out of freezer space now, but that wasn't difficult to do, considering I'm living in an apartment, and only have the small one connected to our fridge. Most of these deals came from multiple copies of that budget buster booklet from Maceys (though I used them at Ridley's Family Market as well), but I did go to 5 different stores. I'm not above going to multiple stores, even if I'm only getting one thing there. (as long as the store isn't too far) So... are you ready for the numbers??? I paid $29.07 out of pocket (including tax). The original cost of everything (not including the sale prices) $136.29 That is a savings of 78.7%!!!!! Oh my goodness! That is definitely the best I've ever done. So, are you ready for the picture and the list? I'm so excited... It was fantastic. I love doing this.

no pictured: 5 gallon bucket and lid to hold the 25lbs of flour
Okay, so... Here is what I got...

-1 Satin Care Shave gel
-1 Edge Shave Gel
-5 Quaker Cereal 15 oz
-1 25 lb bag flour
-7 Land ‘O Frost lunchmeat 16oz
-8 Armour Lunchmakers
-1 WF med cheddar 2lb
-4 Babybels
-1 Aveeno lotion
-1 Shout wipes (travel)
-storage bucket w/lid
-Snuggle liquid softener
-16 buddig lunchmeat
-super saver pork 2.48lb
-super saver beef 1.63lb
-2 big buy bacon 16oz
I was reeling by the time I finished. And most of it was more "need" than just "I can get a good deal". So yeah, people ask if couponing is worth it,  well, when I got 9.5 lbs of lunchmeat for virtually free... I have to say a clear and resounding YES!!!!

Free After Rebate Clorox toilet wand

I love rebates! Even if I did already spend the money out of pocket, it is nice that companies will give you things for free. Especially on things that make your life easier. No one likes cleaning the toilet, but this does make it not quite so bad.

The Clorox Toilet Wand is priced at $9.63 at Target. You can use the $5.00 off coupon then send in for the $5 rebate. Total cost to you? Its a $0.37 money maker! (Okay, that's not counting tax, but still)

 The wand probably costs about the same at Walmart, so whichever you choose. ;)

Thanks Freebies2Deals !

Free bag of Sunchips to the first 100,000

Yup, another freebie here. A free 10.5oz bag of Sunchips this time! This is one of those facebook freebies, so all you have to do is become a fan here and they'll send you a coupon for a free bag. Now, it is only for the first 100,000, so hurry. Free is always good, no matter how small the item.

Free Purology Supersmooth

Pureology is a fabulous brand of hair care, but they are normally way more expensive that I like to pay. They are doing a drawing for a free here of their Supersmooth serum or cream. Go enter, and help tame those flyaways quickly, and free! (if enough of us enter, someone has to win right?)

Family Fresh Foods new coupon policy

 I told you a week ago that I had heard about a new coupon policy at Family Fresh Foods. Well, I called them yesterday so that I could make sure to get all of the details for you. So here are the details for the changes.

  • You must choose to either double coupons or price match, they no longer do both.
  • You need to choose on each item, so you can still do both on the same order. 
  • If you choose to price match, you cannot use any coupons on that item.
Just thought I would let everyone know what's going on with this so that you don't get caught by surprise.

Double couons event!!

Guess what! Kmart is going to be having a double coupon event! I am so very excited. This promotional event will occur April 4th through April 10th!  Not all stores will be participating, so you will want to call your Kmart. I tried to call mine (the Orem Kmart) and they did not know, and the employees will not know until the week it happens (but it sounded like they had done it before, so I'm betting they will again. The promotion should be going on at EVERY store in Utah, but some managers have been known to still refuse. So I would suggest to still call.
There are some rules that apply to the event, so read carefully.

  • You can only double 5 coupons per day. (I know I'll be shopping there every day that week, and possibly going to 2 different stores each day) ;)
  • Offer doesn't include Kmart Coupons or Pharmacy coupons
  • They will double up to a $2.00 coupon!  That means you can get up to $4.00 off an item
Thanks so much to Freebies2Deals for finding this out!
