Free Purex Sample
So, I decided that it was taking too much time on Fridays and Tuesdays to do the freebie posts, and then I was losing some of the freebies by holding off on them. So I am going to try keeping up with them as I get them We'll see what this does with my time around the house.
So anyway, here is a free sample of the Purex 3-in-1 wash sheets. This has reset, so no worries about if you got them before. These are nice and simple to use, but they are high-priced, and (in my opinion) have way too much detergent and softener for me to use them more than just from the samples.Yours should arrive in 6-8 weeks.
Thanks Our Thrifty Ideas!

Friday's Freebies
Okay, well, I know its later in the day than I normally get these up, but oh well. Hopefully you'll all still catch them.
Starting us off we have a Free Carabiner. These are nice, especially with kids, for keeping track of things...like keys! Put in on your keychain, and then you can clip them to your belt loop, or often there will be a loop right inside your purse or diaper bag. Makes it lots easier to find/get to your keys when you've got your kids with you. (and when you don't).This is from ALTCO in celebration of their 60th anniversary. Go here to request yours. Allow 6-8 weeks for delivery.
Thanks Our Thrifty Ideas
Next on our list is a free sample of Dove Moisture Hair Care. This is through Costco, and you do need your membership number. Go here to request it and allow 4-6 weeks for delivery.
Thanks Freebies2Deals
And now we have a free sample of Moist Sure. It is a hand soap with lotion in it. Go here to get your freebie. Just fill out your info, hit submit, and wait 3-4 weeks for your sample.
Here we have a free sample of Loctite. (I'm guessing super-glue-esque) Now, on this one you do have to have a company name, but you can make one up, or even put in "______ Household" as yours (with your last name filling in the blank" It doesn't say it has to be a formed company. ;) I used my blog title.
Thanks Our Thrifty Ideas
Okay, this one isn't exactly a get-something-in-the-mailbox freebie. However, Odwalla is offering to plant trees in whatever state you request. They are going to plan 175,000 trees, or go until August 17th. Let's make it so they don't get to their deadline, they are currently at about 41.5 thousand. I would much rather have them run out of trees to plant. Head on over to the Odwalla Plant a Tree Page to say which state you want to have a little more green. It does ask to connect to your facebook account, but it also gives you an option of just entering in some of your info instead.
Thanks Freebies 2 Deals.
And here we have a free sample of Cottonelle toilet paper and moist wipes. This is through Walmart, so go here to request it.
Thanks Our Thrify Ideas .
Well, good luck everyone. Have a fantastic weekend.

Grocery Store deals
I know this is a day late today, but it really isn't my fault. The ads didn't come til a day late. Silly holidays messing up my timing. ;) That's okay though, I prefer to have the holiday. So anyway, in my opinion there weren't only 3 stores that had any deals worth mentioning. Now remember the deals I post are always IMO (in my opinion). That is why I always suggest finding multiple blogs. I won't see all the deals, because there are somethings that my brain automatically skips over. For example, my blog is the wrong place to look for deals on soda. I don't drink soda, my husband doesn't drink soda, so I have no idea if there are coupons or rebates or what a good price is for it at all. So obviously, if you're going for soda deals, you'll need to find another blog. Anyway... getting back to the grocery deals.
Sunflower Farmer's Market:
I think I've said this before, but I will reiterate, Sunflower is more of a health foods store (not entirely, but the majority of "couponing" cannot be done there. That being said, they often have great prices on meat and produce, and if you are going for the health foods, then they're great, and its actually one of my favorite stores to shop at.

Ridley's issues
Well, I don't know if it is my internet connection, or if it is Ridley's website, but I am not being able to view their ad online, and I don't know if I'm going to get their ad in the mail today, so it may be a while before I'm able to post the deals for the double coupons today. I will keep trying to view it, and I'll get that list up as soon as possible. In the meantime, check out these coupon websites and print the new coupons that came out today.

Target 101
Okay, well, here's another in our series of couponing 101 posts. This time, I'll do my best to teach you how to get the best deals at Target.
Starting us off, we have the Target corporate coupon policy. You will probably want to print this off and carry it with you. I personally have never had a problem at my Target, but I know people who have. You are not doing anything wrong by using coupons, and they actually get paid anywhere from 2 to 16 cents per manufacturer coupon they get. So, really, you are making money for them. So carry the corporate policies, and if you run into problems, show the cashier their own corporate policy. If it still doesn't work, ask for the manager. I would also suggest keeping their corporate phone number (1-800-440-0680) with that coupon policy, so that if you are still having problems, you can call corporate while you are right there in the store. Corporate wants to know when their employees are not following the policy.
So that you don't have to go read the policy right now, I'm going to give you the basic gist of it.
-Target will accept 2 types of coupons: Target coupons and Manufacturer coupons. They will accept 1 of each for each item.
-You will not get cash back if the coupon is valued over the price of the item. They are supposed to adjust the price of the coupon down to match the item.
Now, a couple things about Target coupons.
-There are a few places to get Target coupons:
1-From the register. Every so often, a catalina will print out with your receipt. I don't have any way of letting you know when or what items to buy to get these, but they are nice bonuses.
2-From the mail. Target will periodically send out coupon booklets in the mail. These are full of coupons that you can then use with manufacturer coupons to get fabulous deals.
3-The internet. Target has coupons on their website. Now, a word about these coupons. They aren't all Target coupons. Unfortunately, there is not really any way to tell before you print them if they'll be Target coupons or Manufacturer coupons. Once you print them though, look at the top of the coupon. If it is a Target coupon it will say so. If not it will say Manufacturer coupon. The manufacturer coupon you can technically use at any store that accepts internet coupons. However, you may have some difficulties with them, because there is generally a target logo on it. If you ever have a problem, show the cashier that the top says "Manufacturer Coupon" and that there is a valid manufacturer address on the coupon. Stores get money for every manufacturer coupon you use. So, if the coupon has a manufacturer address listed, the store will get money back when they send the coupon in to them.
Now, price matching:
Target does price match. They call it their Low Price Promise. However, this is a bit of a convoluted policy. If you want the whole thing, you can go here to view it.
Couponing to Disney has a great, detailed post on this, but I will give you a few of the finer points here.
-In a nutshell, they state that they will match the price of an item in a competitor’s printed ad that is priced lower than at your Target store.
-The competitor's ad must be local and current, and the item has to be the identical item. The problem with the identical item bit is the ads that say 'selected varieties'. In that case, you'd be able to get the one pictured, but depending on your store, you may not get any of the other items included.
-If you have Target coupons, they must be used first. So, for example Kmart is selling Oreos for $2.00 and Target’s price is $2.50. And you want to price match and have a $1 Target Store Coupon and a Manufacturer’s coupon you want to use. Instead of just price matching and accepting both your coupons- they will take that Target coupon first and if it makes Target’s price cheaper than KMarts price (which it will- now the Oreo’s become $1.50) they will not match the price. You will still be able to use the manufacturer coupon though.
In my opinion, the best times to use the price-matching is when it is either a store that does not accept manufacturer coupons, or if there is a gift card deal involved.
And finally, clearance items!
Target has great clearance sections hidden all over the store. They are generally on the 'inside' end-caps. So, walking along main aisles, you are not very likely to see them. You can find all sorts of random things on clearance in these end-caps, and they will accept your coupons on them. Another way to find clearance items, is right after the holidays. Yes, there will be a holiday clearance section, but if you are... say... back looking at the refrigerated cookie dough, and you see a package that looks like the holiday that just passed, you may want to go price check it because it will probably be on clearance.
So that is how Target works, as best as I can tell you. I hope that helps.

SO SO SO SO SO EXCITED!!!! (in Orem)
Edit! I was wrong on the way they are doubling the coupons, the coupons do not all double to $1. See the actual doubling amounts below.
K, so you all loved the Smith's coupon deal (with the doubling to $1) right? Guess what! Ridley's Family Market has announced (it was in the Daily Herald today)that they will be "doubling" coupons every Tuesday! I put that in quotations because they won't exactly be doubling. Any coupon under $1 will be doubled to $1. So...
$0.25=$0.50
$0.35=$0.70
$0.55=$1
$0.75=$1
$1=$1
Those are the most common coupon amounts for under $1.
Ridley's Family Market is the store that bought out Albertson's in Orem on 1600 N and State St, and on Center St. and State St. The doubling is only happening at these 2 locations, but can I just say how excited I am! Oh my goodness. I don't know that I'll be able to justify making it up to Family Fresh Foods in Ogden anymore. Maybe I will, because of the coupons that are over $0.50, but it won't be worth quite as much. Still crazy good. I am so excited. So, I will be starting to get the Ridley's deals up as early as I can Tuesday morning (if I can't find a way to get the ad on Monday) so that you all have a chance at them.
Thanks Our Thrifty Ideas

Friday Freebies
Well, my internet connection does seem to actually be working today, so lets get these done before I start having problems.
Starting us off today, courtesy of Vanessa over at Our Thrifty Ideas, we have a free sample of Nexcare bandages. Go here to get your 2 free. Just fill out your info and hit submit.
Now we have a free sample of Suffuse tea here. This one is a tad bit more involved. You’ll need to click on the link on the lower left side of the page. It says “click here to begin”. You will then be filling out a survey, and once you submit that, you will be sent an email that will have your discount code in it. You will need to use that code to get your free tea samples.
And here’s yet another from Vanessa. (Thanks chicka) This one is a shampoo sample again. (I just love these, as I’ve said so many times) Free Aveeno hair care, available here. Just go sign up, and it will arrive in 4-6 weeks.This one is through CVS, so I'm hoping to get this one, even though I've gotten the Aveeno samples before.
Now we have some more free vitamins. I keep hearing that I need to start taking vitamin D supplements, because its “too dangerous” to try to get it from the sun, (skin cancer and all) and that if you wear sunscreen all the time, you probably aren’t getting enough D. I’m not worried so much about me, but I’m of the opinion that while I may not as concerned about this type of thing for myself, I’m not going to choose the less healthy way for my daughter. She will get the best I can give her until she is old enough to choose that she would rather do something else. (anyway… off the soap box) Here is a free sample of Vitamin D through NatureMade. Just fill out your info and hit enter.
This one looks kind-of… interesting. But it’s free, so I’ll give it a go. Here are some free samples of Kraft Sandwich shop mayo. (so this is flavored mayo) Just fill out your info and click ‘send my samples’. It should take about 4-6 weeks for delivery.
Now we have a freebie from Walmart. I have to admit, I'm starting to like them more. Well, I like their prices, and that they give freebies at least. Anyway, go here to get your free sample of Olay Total Effects. It is limited to 1 per household, so if you've already ordered this from Walmart, you're ou of luck. If you haven't, then it should be here in about 4 weeks.
Here's another skin care sample. I don't know how well it will work or anything like that, but skin care is often one of my biggest expenses, so the freebies are great for me. Just fill out your information and click 'submit'. I don't know how long it will take, but if you don't like the shades available, they will have their complete line available on July 15th.
Well, I ended up with a fair number of them being expired. Maybe I need to post freebies more often. Hmm, we'll see if that happens. I'm still quite proud of myself for getting any posted. This week has been a bit off for me. Hopefully I'll be right back in it starting on Monday. (Or today or tomorrow if I see anything really really good.) Have fun with these!

Sorry.
I know today would normally be a freebie day. However, unfortunately my internet connection seems to be struggling, and I am not being able to load any of the pages. I'll be back again on Friday. Sorry everyone.

Walgreens 101
Okay, I know some people have been telling me they aren't quite able to figure out how to get the best deals at some of the stores, and I know that when I first started out, Walgreen's was one of the most difficult stores to figure out. SO... Walgreen's is going to be my first in a series of 'store 101' posts. Hopefully these are helpful.
About Register Rewards
-A Register Reward (RR) is a coupon that prints out with your receipt. You don't have to ask for it, it will automatically print if you fulfilled the requirements listed in the ad.
-You can only get 1 Register Reward per transaction for a certain product. So, if you have 3 coupons for toothpaste, and want to get the RR with it for all of them, you will need to do 3 transactions.
-However, you can buy multiple DIFFERENT items that all have a RR on the same transaction, and you will get all of them. So, you have a toothpaste and a tampon RR you are trying to get, you can buy both in the same transaction, and get both Register Rewards.
-Do not pay for a transaction with a Register Reward from the same item, if you are expecting another RR to print out. If you use a $2 Carefree RR to pay for a Carefree item that offers a RR, the new RR will not print.
-A Register Reward counts as a manufacturer coupon in the count.
-Walgreen's will only allow you to have 1 Mfr coupon per item. So, say for example you have 3 coupons from the Sunday paper, and you want to use a RR as well, you will need to have 4 items. The Register reward counts as a mfr cpn in this instance.
Other Walgreen's Info
-You must always pay sales tax. This doesn't seem like a big issue right off the bat, but it can cause you some interesting issues. Where that becomes a problem is with the super-duper deals where you get things for less than free with coupons and previous RRs. So, say for example, you have a $5 RR. You are buying shampoo, and you have a coupon that makes that item $4.99. YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO USE THE RR! They won't adjust the coupon like most places will. You will have to buy a filler item. Now, they do have things like pencils for 10 cents, so it doesn't have to be a huge deal. Or, I usually find something in their ad that week that is a killer deal without coupons, (and I don't have any coupons for) and I'll use that as my filler, so it is at least something I will use.
-Walgreen's does not have a corporate coupon policy. Managers can decide at any given time whether or not they want to take your coupon. So, the deals that I post may not work for you at your Walgreen's, if you have a manager who is clueless on how to use coupons. I've not generally had a problem with the Orem Walgreen's if someone needs a new one to go to.
-Most places, it is 'generally understood' (so to speak) that you give the manufacturer coupons to the cashier first, and then the store coupons. However, if you've been having problems with it beeping at you, Melea, over at Freebies2Deals talked to one of the managers and he said to give the store coupons first. So if you've been beeped too many times, try switching that around.
As an extra note: Your Walgreen's may not restock on Monday or Tuesday, so you go, thinking to get the deals, and the shelves are empty. Ask which day your Walgreen's restocks. It may be that they restock on Wednesday, and so if you wait until mid-week to hit the store, you'll get the best deals, and the best availability.
I hope this helps keep confusion at bay.

Friday Freebie Roundup
Yay! Time for freebies! And if all of them I found for you work, there are quite a few. So lets get started!
First on the list is a sample of L'Oreal Everpure. This seems to be a new one, because I was able to get it, so you should too. Just go here, and click on 'Get Sample'. You do have to be registered, so go ahead and sign up or sign in when prompted. And then you should get your sample in 8-10 weeks.
Next in line is another shampoo sample! This one is through Walmart, here, so go sign up! Hurry hurry! (No reason why hurrying is necessary, except I know I forget if I don't do things immediately, and I want you all to get freebies) Again you have to register, so sign in or sign up when prompted. However, this is a P&G one as well, so if you've already ordered a Pantene sample through them this quarter, you'll have to wait. Sorry.
Third in our round up we have a free foot cream sample from Laderma. Go here to sign up, and click on the link on the left hand side that says 'receive free samples'.
This next one seems rather useful to me. Its a free dinner plate from Cafe Marsanne. Now, you may have a matching set of dinner plates, and that is great! But it's a pretty color, and just the right size for a serving plate as well! That is what I'll be using it for, a tray for fruit, veggies, cookies, or brownies. So go here to sign up for yours. It should arrive in 2-4 weeks.
Thanks to my friend Vanessa over at Our Thrifty Ideas I have a whole bunch of freebies and coupons from Walmart. So, I'm just going to post the list, and each name will be a link. There is:
Crest Whitestrips (freebie)
Playtex Gentle Glide (freebie)
Schick Xtreme 3 (coupon)
Right Guard (coupon)
Heinz 57 (coupon) after clicking on enjoy extra savings, click on Heinz
Jack Daniels BBQ Sauce (coupon) after clicking on enjoy extra savings, click on Jack Daniels
Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce (coupon) after clicking on enjoy extra savings, click on Lea & Perrins
Woohoo! a free sample of Chex Mix through facebook! Go here to grab yours. Just answer a few questions about your 'food personality'. You'll then be able to fill out your information, and get your sample in 4-8 weeks.
Thanks Freebies2Deals
Okay, so not all of them still worked, but I thought there were still a fair amount. Have fun everyone! Enjoy your weekend!

Sunflower Farmers Market
Sunflower Farmers Market is one of the best stores for produce and meat. They have very high quality products, and the pricing is on par with the other grocery stores (especially the sales) I have had some of the best grapes I've every tasted from there (and they're on sale this week). I also buy oat meal and rice in bulk from there, because even the normal price per pound is the cheapest I've found. I don't get many coupons that are good there, because of the more organic/all natural/health foods that are there, but the prices are pretty good anyway. This is one of my favorite stores.
-Red Seedless grapes $0.88/lb
-Oats (rolled, quick or steel cut) 2lbs/$1
-short grain brown rice $0.69/lb
-organic gala or fugi apples $1.99/lb
-organic yams $0.99/lb
-Seventh generation cleaner 32 oz $2.99
$1 mfr cpn (mambo sprouts cpn booklet)
$1.99 OOP
