Printable Coupons Might Get You FREE Frosted Flakes at Giant

You probably saw our post on deals at Giant in the coming week - deals made blazing hot by pairing coupons with the Giant ad's four dollar doubler coupons.

There are $1 coupons for the following at www.coupons.com right now! Whether or not you can use these with the dollar doubler coupons depends on your manager's willingness to flex, probably, as the fine print specifies newspaper/magazine coupons, though doesn't explicitly rule out printables.

Frosted Flakes ($1.88 at Giant this week, but potentially FREE if your Giant lets you double it!)
Corn Pops
Frosted Mini Wheats
Rice Krispies
Froot Loops
Raisin Bran
Apple Jacks

Thanks so much to Frugally Blonde for posting about this! There's a $1.00 off Special K coupon on Coupons.com right now - and Liz is the blog to read about working this week's Special K Target gift card deal, pics and all. :)

ANOTHER Full Week of Double/Triple Coupons at Participating Shopper's Food Warehouse Locations! April 30 - May 6

Another full week of double and triple coupons at participating Shopper's Food Warehouse locations, 04/30-05/06!

This week is the third full week that participating locations are doing triple coupons up to $0.50 in value, and double coupons $0.51-$1.00 in value.

Click here to find your nearest participating Shopper's Food Warehouse location. If your ad doesn't say anything specific about it, call ahead to find out if your location is participating.

Click here to see our entire master Shopper's Food Warehouse April Double/Triple Coupons Matchups List - where you can post comments with your best deals, or even a Mr. Linky link to your blog post detailing your Shopper's run! Many prices from past weeks' ads are still the same.

Trying to muster motivation for a trip? Click here to see our recent post of free or extremely cheap items. It's around 30 items - and if you only got one of each with one ad insert coupon, you'd pay just $2.74!

Special note: A reader emailed us a great story. She went to the Lorton Shopper's Food Warehouse, whose ad (like mine the last three weeks) did not mention double or triple coupons. She asked the manager if they were participating, and the manager said no, but that he/she would honor the ad for the reader's transaction. It took the manager's special authorization at checkout, but what an encouraging customer service experience! It goes to show that if you are willing to ask, you might persuade your location to become a participating location just for you. :) Thanks for sharing this sweet tip, Jen!

5 Reasons to Visit Giant this Week (05/01-05/07) - Dollar Doubler Coupons Included!

Hot diggity dawg, there are some sweet deals to be had at Giant in the coming week. Of course, many of them depend on you possessing dollar doubler coupons. The first few times that Giant offered these, they were also available in-store in the ads, but not the last time! Therefore, we advise that you keep your doubler coupons from the ad you receive in your paper or mail, and ask neighbors or friends for some others if they won't use them.

Remember that all coupons up to $0.99 in value double automatically every day at Giant, so only use the doublers for your $1 coupons. The dollar doubler coupons are usable in sets of 4 per $15 transaction. Click here to see an actual May 1 transaction - and Mr. Linky links to other blogs' Dollar Doubler strategies/transactions!

Here are the top 5 reasons we spotted to visit Giant this week:

  1. Free cereal! Kellogg's, Post, or Quaker Cereal (specifically: Frosted Flakes, Cap'n Crunch, Fruity Pebbles, Cocoa Pebbles) are $1.88. Applicable coupons: $1/1 Kellogg's cereal, 04/05 RP. Double this one with the doublers to get free Frosted Flakes! My husband is going to love this one. Even if you don't double them, they are just $0.88/box after coupon.
  2. $0.20/each Dannon. Dannon Yoghurts (Fruit on the Bottom and Light'n'Fit) are 20/$8, or $0.40 each. Use the $1/10 coupon from the 03/15 SS, and double it, to get them for just $0.20 each.
  3. $0.50 light ice cream or fro-yo! Turkey Hill Ice Cream is 2/$5. There was a $1.00/1 Turkey Hill light recipe ice cream or frozen yogurt in the 02/22 RP, and if you double this, it will make the light recipe or fro-yo $0.50/carton!
  4. Cheeeaaap Ball Park Franks. Beef franks are BOGO, and the $1/1 coupon in the 04/26 SS can be doubled - meaning you are getting up to $4 off the price of one package - to get two packages! These couldn't possibly get any cheaper.
  5. FREE crab meat! Use this $1/1 printable Crab Classic coupon to get the 2/$4-priced Crab Classic free when you use a dollar doubler coupon.
Here are other deals and Giant coupon matchups that we spotted, starting with other freebies:
  • FREE Vitaminwater10 (still 10/$10) when you use the $1/1 from the 04/05 SS insert. Yes, it's still free. :)
  • Coffee-Mate creamers are 2/$4. Go here to get a $1/1 printable (register with your junk email address), making the creamer FREE if you use a dollar doubler coupon.
  • Riceworks Chips (gluten free!) are 2/$4. Use the $1/1 from the 04/19 RP to get them for FREE when you double it! There was also a BOGO Riceworks coupon in the same insert.
  • Potential freebie alert: Russel Stover Chocolates are BOGO. There were BOGO-type Russell Stover coupons as follows - not currently sure which, if any, would apply:
    ~ 11/02/08 SS: Russell Stover Sugar Free Candy, 3 oz. bag, Buy 2, Get 1 Free (expires 5-31-09)
    ~ 11/09/08 SS: Russell Stover Private Reserve, Internationale, etc, 3.95 to 4.95 oz. BOGO (expires 5-31-09)
    ~ 01/11 SS: Russell Stover Sugar Free Big Bag, any 10 oz. $1 (expires 7/31/09) Dollar-double the coupon to get $2 off - and use 2 coupons + 2 dollar doublers, for a total of $4 off.
    Let us know if you try any of these and have success (or not).
  • $4.99/lb. (half price!) Porterhouse or T-Bone Steaks.
  • $0.24/ear of Sweet White Corn (or $1.88 for 8). All right! After watching it be $0.88-$0.99/each, this is a big price drop. Does anybody know how long this stuff stores? In other words, how much can I get away with buying? lol
  • $1.88/lb. tomatoes on the vine.
  • $1.99/lb. (half-price) spareribs, dinner links, or brats.
  • Pepsi 12-packs are 4/$10 ($2.50 each), must buy 4.

  • $1 mangos. Smooooothies are calling my name. :)
  • $0.20 limes (5/$1). Cinco de Mayo celebrations!
  • Bob Evans Mashed Potatoes (includes sweet potato) are 2/$5. Use the 03/22 SmartSource insert's $0.35/1 coupon, which would make these $1.80 each.
  • Johnsonville Breakfast Links are 2/$5. Use the $1/2 coupon from the 04/05 SS (the one with the Sears optical cover), and get it doubled, to make them $1.50 each.
  • SeaPak Shrimp Entrees are 25% off. Use the $1/2 coupon from the 03/01 RP, or the $1/2 printable coupons available here, and dollar doubler the coupons, to make them even cheaper.
  • Tribe Hummus 8 oz. packages are 4/$10 ($2.50 each). Use the printable $0.55/1 (any - page 4) or $0.75/1 (organic - page 5) to make them $1.40 or $1, respectively.
  • California Pizza Kitchen Pizzas are $6.49. Use the going-fast printable $2 coupon to make them $4.49 - cheaper than the Giant brand imitations.
  • Stella Cheese is $6.99/lb. Use the $0.55/1 coupon printable here (page 2) to get it for $1.10 cheaper.
  • Lean Cuisine entrees are 4/$10 (no coupons apply).
  • Ben & Jerry's single-serving Ice Cream Cups are 4/$5. OK, we give up. There is no practical reason to buy these - not even a coupon matchup. But if you (or a loved one) are having one of those days, is not $1.25 a small price to pay for 3.6 oz. of heaven (and no tempting carton in the freezer later)?
  • Tyson Any'tizers are 2/$7. Use the $1/1 coupon from the 03/08 SS - and dollar-double it! - to get them for just $1.50/bag. Wow, that was easy. ;)
  • Bertolli Complete Dinner for two is $6.99. Register here (use your junk email address) for a $1.50/1 frozen meal printable coupon to make them $5.49 each. This is part of the Meal Deal for the week - see the bottom fo the post for details.
  • Sorrento Ricotta Cheese (32 oz. big cup) or 1 lb. cubes of Sorrento Mozarella are $3.49. Use the $1/1 Ricotta or Mozarella coupons, issued in the 02/08 SS and the 03/22 SS, and dollar double them - to make them cheeeeap at $1.49. Lasagna or stuffed shells, anybody?
  • Sargento Shredded Cheese is 2/$5, all varieties. $0.50/1 Sargento Artisan Blends or Bistro Blends Natural Shredded Cheese, 5 oz. or Larger (01/18 SS), doubles, make the cheese $1.50/bag. $0.50/2 Sargento Natural Shredded Cheese, any 2, 5 oz. or Larger (01/25 SS), makes them $2/bag.
  • $1 half gallons of Over the Moon Milk. Normally this is priced around $3.50/half gal., but the $1/1 from the 03/01 SS (there are also some $1/1 tearpads by the milk at CVS) will make this week's 2/$6 price $1/ea when you pair the coupons with dollar doubler coupons. Read our Over the Moon review here.
  • Kashi Heart-to-Heart cereals (many varieties) are $3.33. Use the $1.50/2 coupon currently available at coupons.com to get them for ~$2.58/box.
  • Nonni's biscotti is 2/$6. Use the $1/1 from the 02/22 SS - and double it - to make it just $1/box.
  • Dunkin' Donuts coffee is $6.99 - and the $1.50/2 coupon from the 04/05 RP would make it $6.24/each. Not really a deal unless you're out and life is not worth living without DD coffee. :)
  • Ritz Crackers, all varieties, are 2/$5. If the Ritz Bits sandwiches fall under "all varieties", then you can use the $1/2 coupon from the 03/01 SS, dollar-doubled, and get them for $1.50/box.
  • $1.50 Blue Diamond Almonds, (4/$10 on sale) when you use this printable Internet coupon for $0.50 off any Blue Diamond Almonds, which will double. There was also a $0.75/2 coupon in the 01/18 SS which would double, making them $1.75/each.
  • Campbell's Chunky Soups (includes Healthy Request) are 2/$3. Use the $0.50/2 coupons from the 10/12/08 SS or the 01/04 SS to make them $1/each.
  • Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks are 4/$6 (must buy 4). Use the $1/2 coupon from the 03/08 SS - and double it - to make them $0.50/box.
  • Dole Fruit Bowls and Fruit Jars are 2/$4. Use the $1/2 from the 04/26 SS - and double it - to make them $1 each, or the $0.75/2 from the same insert to make them $1.25 each.
  • General Mills Cereal (MultiGrain Cheerios, Honey Nut Cheerios, Cheerios, Frozed Cheerios, or Kix) are $3.49. Use the General Mills coupon - which includes any Cheerios - from the 04/05 SS - $1/3, and double it, to make the cereals $2.83/each. This is not a deal, especially when you can get free Frosted Flakes.
  • Bertolli Pasta Sauce is 2/$5. Use the $0.75/1 or $0.60/1 Bertolli coupon from the 04/05 RP insert, which double automatically, earning you $1.20-$1.50 off. Final price is $1.00-$1.30/each.
  • Ragu Pasta Sauce is 2/$5. The 04/01 (or 03/31?) Red Plum had a $0.30/1 coupon, which would double, making the Ragu $1.90/jar.
  • Duncan Hines Brownie Mixes are 4/$5 ($1.25/each). Use the $0.35/1 (02/01 SS insert) to get them for $0.55 each, and as Crystal of Money Saving Mom mentioned, when you buy five, you can mail in for a $5 coupon booklet! 5 x $0.55 is $2.75...so you'd end up at least $2.25 to the good if you eventually used all of those coupons in the booklet.
  • $0.99 avocados. Guac!

When you buy $10 worth of Old El Paso, you get a free 8 oz. Giant Shredded Cheese. Limit 1 per transaction. All items must be purchased in same transaction.

Old El Paso Dinner Kids are 2/$5.
Old El Paso Salsa is 2/$5.
Old El Paso Refried Beans are 10/$10.
Old El Paso Taco Seasoning or Chili Mix are 10/$10.

There is rumored to be a peelie on Old El Paso Products for buy any 2, get a seasoning free, so if you are pursuing this deal, keep an eye out.

The Meal Deal for the week is as follows:

Buy a Wish-Bone Salad Dressing and a Bertolli Complete Dinner for two, and you get a FREE Giant European Salad (9 varieties available). All items must be purchased in one transaction.

Matchup with the Meal Deal:

Bertolli Complete Dinner for two is $6.99. Register here (use your junk email address) for a $1.50/1 frozen meal printable coupon to make them $5.49 each.

Reader Jen posted these deals in a comment on another Giant post from this week. Thanks for sharing, Jen! :)

Nature Made 100 ct. ORGANIC flaxseed capsules are on sale for $5.49 (down from $10.99) and I had two $1 NM coupons that doubled. Well, one of them did. The register does track the 4 doubler limit so my 5th was rejected (I had intended only to buy one if the printable went through but got confused). Anyway, even without the second double coupon, I got 200 for $7.88!!

And Finish dishwasher gelpacks (20 ct) are $3.50 (down from $4.99) so with the $2.50 off from last weekend's inserts they are $1!! Woohoo!

Did we miss any sweet deals? Post a comment to let us know! We relish reading each and every one. :)

Wednesday is 31-cent Scoop Night at Baskin-Robbins

Support your local firefighters and attend 31-cent Scoop Night at Baskin-Robbins!

The special runs from 5 pm - 10 pm on Wednesday, April 29, and 31 cents will buy you a small scoop of ice cream. That's a deal!

B-R is my husband's favorite, so each year I wait in line to bring him home as many scoops as the shop will allow! Last year my B-R shop placed a limit on the number of 31-cent scoops you could buy per person. I'm guessing it will be the same this year.

As always, contact your local shop to verify participation. Find your local Baskin-Robbins here.

Monday 04/27's RedBox Free Rental Code, and Other Free Rental Codes!

It's RedBox Free Rental Monday! Movies must be returned by 9 p.m. the following night...I love that feature because it means that I don't have to stress myself out the following day trying to schedule in a trip to the Redbox. By the way, you don't need to return your RedBox rental to the same Redbox machine; you can return it to any RedBox machine. See link at post bottom for RedBox locations.

Get a free night's rental with the Monday April 27 Redbox Free Rental code (good for movies rented out today only): 4CW33N is the 04/27 Monday code.

But please note:

If it's your very first time using RedBox, use the code REDBOX first (this is a one time only code good only on the first time you use Redbox) If you want to use this code and the Monday 04/27 code, then you pretty much need to rent two movies tonight, using REDBOX and then the Monday code.

Other codes:
BREAKROOM and DVDONME are supposed to be good for free rentals anytime, so wait to use these until tomorrow, when you must return your Monday DVD(s). There is a history of regular Monday one-day-only freebie codes, so never use these on a Monday if you can help it. Instead, if you want to rent on a Monday, check out Redemption Unlimited under the RedBox Free Rental Codes label, or head over to insideredbox.com to find those one-day-only codes.

Find your local Redbox kiosks at nearby gas stations, grocery stores, and other locations.
Search the Redbox Movie Titles for tonight!

She said this deal is going on until midnight on Tuesday. She was not sure if all the Harris Teeters are doing this promotion. We just got our 3 bags for $10.00!"

Roundup: Some Recent Worthwhile Reads

For fun and info, here are some articles that pinged our radars this week:

Five Frugal Food Tactics from Trent's Kitchen - includes a recipe for make-your-own cream of soup. Nice! Thanks to A Simple Dollar's Trent for these sweet tips. Trent also did a great post which serves up the a choice reason to seek frugality: the more frugal you are (that is, the more you pursue it as a lifestyle), the more you can afford to take on a job that really delights you, instead of one that drags you down.

Gina's post alerted us to Mindi's Coupon Ethics - Why Stores Don't Trust Us - which came with a follow-up Coupon Ethics: Coupon BarCode Decoding. We had no idea that there were so many ways to cheat/fraud the system - which definitely helps to explain the occasional surly attitude you can run into while couponing. More incentive to respect print limits, honor coupons' stated terms, and remain ever friendly and honest in your coupon dealings - do it for yourself and your fellow couponers! Many thanks to Mindi for putting major points in this hot-button issue all in one spot.

Ginger of Attention Target Shoppers did a post on the "Recycle Bank" - recently featured on Oprah - in which recyclers can accumulate credit for shopping at participating Target locations! Wish there was a participating location closer to us, but maybe in the future...(Thanks so much, Ginger!)

Finally, Ginger also covered Huggies' New Enjoy the Ride program, and included info on $2 Huggies coupons and codes to redeem in the program for points.

Earn $2 CVS ExtraCare Bucks for Every 2 Prescriptions Filled with Printable Coupon, May Through June 15, 2009

Go here on the CVS website to click through to the certificate that you can print out and redeem in-store on your CVS account. Normally you need to fill two prescriptions just to get $1 ECB in your quarterly rewards - this coupon doubles to give a $1/1 ratio! Double ExtraCare Bucks, yee-haw!

If you have a family that fills a lot of prescriptions, and regularly, this is gold. OK, not gold, but if you print out the certificate and redeem it on May 1 (ends June 15), you could be several ExtraCare Bucks richer come July 1, when the ECB rewards for the previous quarter will print out at the coupon kiosk or after your first in-store purchase. :)

FREE Admission Tip from A Reader for Today's Just Between Friends Sale!

Reader Heather told us about this sweet free admission deal for this weekend's Just Between Friends Sale, on today and tomorrow:

You can get free admission to the Just Between Friends sale on Saturday if you take the ad on page 13 of the April Washington Family magazine. I've seen free copies at libraries and outside CVS. You can view the magazine online too at www.washingtonfamily.com. I don't know if they will accept a print out of the ad for free admission but it is worth a shot if you can't find a copy of the magazine.

WOW! :) Thanks so much, Heather, for the tip!

Organizing Dates

A while back, my husband and I spent a couple of hours on a Saturday sorting through moving and storage boxes that had been accumulating in our office. I found at least $30 worth of office supplies, including:

Specialized printer papers:
Photo paper
Business card paper
Window cling paper

Other office supplies:
3-ring binder transparent sheet sleeves
Staples
Binder clips
Pens and pencils (we handed these to our young daughter to 'test' while we sorted other stuff)
Scotch tape
Highlighters
Mechanical pencil leads
Mailing envelopes

I was shocked at the amount of usable office supplies that resulted from just 2 hours of organizing. If I had needed any of these, I might have bought them before realizing that they were hidden in the boxes upstairs. And now: I have an organized cabinet full of office supplies.

Do you have some storage or moving boxes that haven't been opened in a while? You might be surprised to discover what useful things are hiding out in them. A little time can pay big dividends!

Lands' End Free Shipping, No Minimum (April 24-April 27)

Enter the Promotion Code SUMMER and the PIN 00001207 in the space provided.

Be sure to go through ebates for your purchase to get 3% cash back!

Did you know that Lands' End has a new set of three lines of fits in their women's clothing? That's right! The selection is no longer only relaxed shirts and high-inseam, tapered pants. For example, Fit 1 features more figure flattering and streamlined, modern cuts in shirts and pants both.

Lands' End has one of the best guarantees in the business ("Guaranteed. Period."). I know of customers who have returned winter jackets that Lands' End no longer carries because of broken zippers and the like, and Lands' End still graciously went out of the way to make it right by replacing it with the nearest possible equivalent. You can't beat that commitment to customer service. Lands' End clothing - especially outerwear and accessories - easily lasts through several seasons.

High-Value Coupons at the Limited - $25/$50 purchase!

Rumor has it that at thelimited.com, you can use the following codes to get $25 off for every $50 you spend. We haven't tried it out ourselves yet, but the comments that users left next to this entry imply that you can stack the codes, meaning: spend $150 in an order, use three codes! Since there were 4 separate comments stating that these worked, we are taking a leap of faith that they are not user-specific/one-time-use.

If anyone tries these and has success (or not), let us know in a comment! :) Go to thelimited.com today.

Edit: I just added 6 $60 items to a cart, went to checkout, and when I selected "Enter Virtual Dollars" under the "Enter Coupon Code" box, 7 empty fields appeared. I entered all six codes above, and the transaction took off all $25 values - $150 total! Not that I had plans to buy 6 identical $60 dresses today; I was just trial-running it for those of you wanting to do a big wardrobe boost. Yes - all 6 virtual dollar coupons can work in one transaction! Woo-hoo!

5 Reasons to Visit Giant (aka Stop and Shop) This Week (04-24-04/30)

  1. $1.79/lb. chicken breast. This is stock-up price, peeps! Freeze it straight up, or cook it for a recipe, then freeze it. You're saving 58% on the normal price.

  2. General Mills Cereals are Buy 4, save $4 on cereals that are 14.25 oz. or larger. The 04/05 SS had a coupon for $1.00/3 General Mills Cereals - Basic 4, Boo Berry, Cheerios (any), Chex (any), Count Chocula, Curves, Disney. A recent SS had a coupon for $0.50/1 General Mills Honey Kix Cereal (will double to $1 off). The best coupon we saw, though, is the $0.75/1 Banana Nut Cheerios cereal from the 04/19 SS. If you have 4 of these (which will all double to $1.50 off), you'd be getting $2.50 off each box of Banana Nut Cheerios - that's gotta be cheap!

  3. Green Giant Valley Fresh Steamers are BOGO. Use the $0.50/1 from the 04/05 SS to get $2 total off 2 (they double) - meaning you are getting these very cheap.

  4. Philips Claw Crab Meat is BOGO. There was $1/any Phillip's product in the 03/22 SS, and you can use two, which would make this crab meat pretty cheap. Homemade crab cakes, anybody?

  5. Breyers ice cream is BOGO. It normally is priced around $5, SO $2.50-$3 each is probably your price point. The $0.75 coupon in the 04/05 insert will double, making it around $1-$1.50 each.

Living Well, Feeling Great Promotion at Safeway, now through May 5: A Two-Week Obsession Worth Nurturing

Safeway is hosting a rocking deal in the next couple of weeks in its Living Well, Feeling Great Promotion - through May 5. When you buy $30 worth of groceries from a massive list of over 3,000 participating products (listed by Slickdeals' Bob, thanks!), a $10 Catalina coupon, good for any purchase you make at Safeway, will print out.

This limited time offer is ever so much more than a fixed 33% discount; it is only the beautiful foundation of a panoply of coupon stacking possibilities. You need to buy only $30 worth as a subtotal - coupons and Catalinas can bring your price much lower!

So the goal here is to use coupons (and once you start working the Living Well, Feeling Great promo deals, using aka 'rolling' Catalinas from past deals) to bring your $30 total down as close to (or under!) $10 as possible. If you bring your post-coupon/post-Catalina total down to $10 (or less) - and then receive a $10 Catalina for your next purchase, you're getting free groceries (or paid to take them away!). This is a primo promotion for snagging donations for your local food bank, too. Find your local food banks today.

Moneywise Moms has done an in-depth look at possible deals so far over the course of several posts. Just today, Gina showed us how to make an impressive profit off of the Living Well, Feeling Great promo by buying Deer Park Water 6-packs at Safeway. Click here to see Moneywise Mom's original post detailing the terms of the promotion, and to see all of the Mr. Linky's to other sites' posted deals!

Other examples of sweet deals (the first three from Moneywise Moms, the fourth from Blessings in Bargains)
Yes - if you pursue some of these deals passionately, you could be going to Safeway once (or more!) daily until May 5, but what a cheap stockpile you'd have accumulated after then - like a lifetime supply of Deer Park! :)

Have you done this promo? What deals have you scoped out? Any unexpected profits or setbacks? Post comments to let everybody know.

Free Shipping on Mrs. Meyers products for Earth Day, through 04/22, plus $5 off $25 coupon available to use!

Today and tomorrow, Mrs. Meyers earth-friendly cleaning and home products are shipping free from mrsmeyers.com. If you sign up for the email (bottom of web page), you'll get a coupon for $5 off a $25 purchase - 20% off if you can get your subtotal close to $25. (The coupon is good for around a month.) I have tried the lavender scent in the shower spray and countertop spray, and have found the scent to be agreeable.

You can see reviews for Mrs. Meyers products/scents here at drugstore.com's Mrs. Meyers lineup. The prices on the Mrs. Meyers site are at least $0.50/unit cheaper than at drugstore.com, where there is currently an offer for a $40-valued Seventh Generation Shopping Tote filled with earth-friendly samples with any $30 minimum green and natural purchase. However, if you ebates your drugstore.com purchase (mrsmeyers.com not available through ebates), you'll get 6% back, and that alone would probably nearly make up that $0.50/item difference. You also earn 5% cash back as credit for your drugstore.com spending (works like CVS quarterly ECB rewards - issued to your account at the end of a quarter, good to spend online for a month). Your first order at drugstore.com over $25 ships free (repeat customers, the minimum purchase is $49). The code BEAUTIFUL is remored to get you a 10% discount on beauty and spa products; maybe the natural/green beauty products included in this tote deal would also fall under this deal?

SO....what did we learn here in short for current natural cleaning product deals?
  • Mrs. Meyers is 20% off, shipping free at mrsmeyers.com. No ebates available.
  • Buy at least $30 of Mrs. Meyers (and any other natural cleaning products), and you will get a $40-valued natural samples tote included. You get free shipping $25 min. first-time customers, $49 min. repeat customers (standard shipping is $5.99). 6% cash back from ebates, 5% cash back from drugstore.com's quarterly reward.
The best deal for you is detemined by a combination of the following:
  • How much Mrs. Meyers you want to buy
  • Whether you want to order other 'natural cleaning' or drugstore (toiletries/meds/cosmetics) products in addition
  • Whether it would be your first time ordering on drugstore.com
  • Whether or not the free tote deal appeals to you
Happy green cleaning shopping. :)

Last Day for 15% of at Sephora.com

In the vein of Mother's Day gifts - or bridal shower gifts? - here is a code for 15% off at Sephora.com, ending today: BD2T9CB5

Orders over $50 ship free - but we're pretty sure this means post-15% discount, so you need to put $59 worth of items to get your post-15% to be $50.15 - ergo snatch free shipping, too. FYI, $5.95 is the standard shipping fee for under $50.

A third way to save - you can get a whopping 8% back right now by buying at Sephora.com through ebates, so that $50.15 total would net you back $4.01.

And a fourth way to save on this - Sephora has a lot of Christmas-era items clearanced up to 75% off - items that are still perfectly great for gifting right now - like:

Hershey's, Schweppes, 7-up, Wrigley's, Dr. Pepper, and Tootsie Roll lip balms, organic/natural!
Home candles (travel candles and soy candles) in some of the same fragrances!

Monday 04/20's Redbox FREE Rental Codes, and Other Free Rental Codes!

It's RedBox Free Rental Monday! Movies must be returned by 9 p.m. the following night...I love that feature because it means that I don't have to stress myself out the following day trying to schedule in a trip to the Redbox. By the way, you don't need to return your RedBox rental to the same Redbox machine; you can return it to any RedBox machine. See link at post bottom for RedBox locations.

Get a free night's rental with the Monday April 20 Redbox Free Rental code (good for movies rented out today only): M6FR97 is the 04/20 Monday code.

But please note:

If it's your very first time using RedBox, use the code REDBOX first (this is a one time only code good only on the first time you use Redbox) If you want to use this code and the Monday 04/20 code, then you pretty much need to rent two movies tonight, using REDBOX and then the Monday code.

Other codes:
BREAKROOM and DVDONME are supposed to be good for free rentals anytime, so wait to use these until tomorrow, when you must return your Monday DVD(s). There is a history of regular Monday one-day-only freebie codes, so never use these on a Monday if you can help it. Instead, if you want to rent on a Monday, check out Redemption Unlimited under the RedBox Free Rental Codes label, or head over to insideredbox.com to find those one-day-only codes.

Find your local Redbox kiosks at nearby gas stations, grocery stores, and other locations.
Search the Redbox Movie Titles for tonight!

5 Reasons to go to CVS this week - 04/19-04/25

For the rest of this week's matchups, see Erica's weekly deals listing at I Heart CVS.
  1. Bayer Aspirin Quick Release Crystals are $2, and you get back $2 ExtraCare Bucks, so FREE after ExtraCare Bucks (FAECBS). Even better, if you use the $1/any 24 ct. or more coupon from the 03/22 SS, you can 'profit' $1 on this deal! (Limit 1)

  2. Edge Infused Comfort or Hydrate Shave Gel is $2.89, and you earn back $2.89 ECBs, so FAECBs! (Limit one on this deal.)

  3. Act Rinse mouthwash (18 oz. bottle) is $3.79, and you get $2 ECBs back. If you use the $1/1 coupon from the 04/19 SS, you can get these for just $0.79 each. This deal is limit 2.

  4. When you buy $20 of Benefiber, Gas-X, or Maalox, you get $10 ECBs back. Coupons that apply:
    * $2/1 Benefiber Chewable or Caplet 02/22 SS or 04/05 SS
    * $2/1 Benefiber Powder 02/22 SS or 04/05 SS
    * $2/1 Benefiber Stick Pack 02/22 SS or 04/05 SS
    * $1/1 Gas-X 03/08 SS
    * $1/1 Gas-X Thin Strips 03/08 SS
    * $3/1 off 2 Maalox 03/08 SS
    * $1.50/1 Maalox Liquid 03/08 SS
    * $3/2 Maalox Product 02/22 SS
    * $1.50/1 Maalox Total Relief 02/22 SS

  5. When you buy One a Day, Flinstones or Citracal, (prices start at $7.49), you earn back $4 ECBs. (This deal is limit 4.) Applicable coupons:
    * $1/1 One A Day Adult or Teen Multivitamin Product 03/22 SS
    * $4/2 One A Day Adult or Teen Multivitamin Products
    03/22 SS
    * $1/1 Flintstones Childrens Multivitamin Product 03/22 SS
    * $1/1 Citracal Product SS 03/22 SS

=============

Here's a potential scenario if you were mailed the leaflet with six weeks' worth of $/$$ coupons at the beginning of April - or were emailed a coupon recently (lucky you!).

Bayer Aspirin = $2
Edge = $2.89
Act = $3.79
Vitamin = $7.49
==============
Subtotal = $16.17

Use coupons:
$3/$15 purchase at CVS (the $/$$ coupons that were mailed in the early April leaflet)
$1 Bayer
$1 Act
$1 Vitamin

Subtotal after coupons: $10.17 + tax
ExtraCare Bucks earned back: $2 + $2.89 + $2 + $4 = $10.89

$16.17 worth of toiletries, vitamins, and aspirin...pretty much free. :)

Old Navy Weekly Site Refreshed - Newest Codes April 16 and April 17

The Old Navy Weekly site - where you can click through the ad to find high-valued in-store coupons - has been reloaded and refreshed!

Here is where to find the best remaining deal:

The model in the bottom middle square panel is wearing a red shirt. Click about 1/2 inch to the left of her smile, and you will get a coupon for 30% off your entire purchase when you buy a $1 reusable tote in-store.

The highest-value coupon snagged right away?
"Get an Old Navy Card and get 40% off everything in the store. Plus get a free reusable tote while supplies last."

If you ask us, an offer requiring us to get a credit card isn't worth the one-time savings. So the 30% one still available really is the best one out there in our opinion!

If these 30 percenters are gone when you get to the site, try this one:
In the top left corner, click on the bag with the rotating arrows and you get:"Spend a Buck on a Reusable Tote and save 15% off your Entire Purchase"

Click here to see the Old Navy Weekly Ad.

Click here to see all Redemption Unlimited posts related to Old Navy.

By the way, did you know that if you open the site in Mozilla Firefox, you can keep tapping the 'Tab' key to show you - with a simple yellow box - all of the 'clickable' places on the screen? This makes finding undercover coupons a lot less of a headache. Happy Coupon Hunting!

Some Hot Deals from Bloom Triples - and Strategizing Shopper's Food Warehouse v. Bloom

While we were preoccupied with finding out about the Shopper's Food Warehouse double/triple details and composing a master coupon matchup shopping list, reader Lisa posted a comment with a bunch of really awesome deals for triple coupons this weekend at Bloom - with several freebies. Thanks, Lisa! You made our day!

We added Lisa's matchups to the original Bloom post, and will do so for matchups that anybody else wishes to share via comment. Also check out Southern Savers' massive list of Bloom triple coupon matchups!

If your Shopper's Food Warehouse isn't participating in double/triple coupons this coming week, or you want to get rid of some of your $0.51-$0.99 coupons with the deepest discount possible, then plan a trip to Bloom, where all coupons up to $0.99 will triple. Then, to get rid of your $1 coupons (which double at Shopper's), find the nearest participating Shopper's Food Warehouse and look up our growing master matchups list for the coming week here. Remember that the Shopper's double/triple session goes a full week this time (through next Wednesday 04/22), so if you can make only one trip this weekend, consider making it a Bloom trip, since it's only good for the weekend.

Psst: There is a sweet Bloom triple coupon matchup post on Hot Coupon World, too.

Shopper's Food Warehouse April Double/Triple Coupon Matchups, 04/16-04/22

Gina (and an email tipster Sheryl) recently told us that her Shopper's Food Warehouse ad is advertising a doubling and tripling coupons round for this weekend. Thanks, ladies! Wow, that came fast after double-only coupons at Shopper's just two weeks ago! Woe is me - my Shopper's ad has no mention at all of double or triple coupons - so I may be tempted to trek to a participating store if the deals prove good enough.

Since this is a selective participation thing, let's start with this list of participating stores. Since the new Shopper's ad does not get posted until tomorrow morning, feel free to comment to let us know if your ad does or does not mention this special, so we can edit this post's below list of locations that are or are not participating.

Participating Stores:

Virginia:
Burke
Fairfax
Chantilly
Manassas
Sterling
Herndon
Leesburg
Gainesville
Centreville

Maryland:
Aspen Hill
Germantown
White Flint

We will start matchups with the ad here, assuming that even the nonparticipating ad's sale prices are the same. If you find a great deal, post a comment and we will add it to the growing list! Be sure to check back at this post to see what deals have been added over time.



Coupons up to $0.50 in value triple, while coupons $0.51-$1.00 double - unlimited coupons. This deal is good starting tomorrow, Thursday 04/16, through next Wednesday, 04/22.

****************

Some choice additional deals from last doubling session's matchups list two weeks ago:

Bounty paper towels single roll were 10/$10 last time - the $1/1 in the 4/5 P&G, doubled makes them very cheap or free, if the price still applies.

No Nonsense socks free with last weekend's $1/1 doubled (they have some socks that are $1.99 or $1.79). ** BUT note that you can get No Nonsense pantyhose at WalMart priced at $1 (so FREE), and the pantyhose have a $1 off coupon in the packaging...so...you're probably better off rolling free pantyhose, unless you really, really need socks. Thanks, A Thrifty Mom, for the WalMart tip!

Starkist Seasons bowls are on sale for $1.99 - free after $1/1 Q

Starkist Pouches are $2.09 or $2.19 - doubled $1/1 Q makes them almost free, AND, you can use the B2G1 Free Q to get another one free for every 2 you buy

Success Rice is $2.19 - $0.19 after $1/1 doubled

Quaker Rice Snacks are $1.99, ergo FREE after last weekend's $1/1 doubles


Nature's sweet cherry tomatoes $1.98 ea., use $1/2 for 2 bags less than $2

Air Wick Aqua Essences air freshner spray - $1.49, but after $1/1 = FREE

Lipton Tea Bags (16 ct) - $0.98 each used $1/2 = FREE


This contribution comes from Laura of Blessings in Bargains. Talk about eagle-eyed!

"I also found peelies on some of the Poptarts for $1/1 ... so, since they were priced at $2, they were FREE after coupon..." (emphasis on 'free' and text coloring ours...lol)

Hershey 3.5 oz Bars Dark Chocolate, $1.69, FREE after $1 coupon

GUM Crayola Style kids' toothbrushes 2-packs, $1.50, FREE after $0.75 coupon

Yoplait YoPlus yogurt 4 pack $2 - $1 off = FREE

Over the Moon Milk, 1% or Skim, half gallon - $3.49 before $1 03/08 SS coupon, after: $1.49 (compare with regular half gallon of either, $1.99, or $3.49 for a whole gallon of regular milk!)

O-Cello scrub pads, single pack, $1.29, but $0.29 after $1/2 coupon from 03/08 SS doubles

FruitSense drinks (by the juice), 2/$5, just $0.50 each after $1 coupon. Flavors like blueberry pomogranate mangosteen, lime colada, and cranberry raspberry.

Del Monte No Salt Added Diced Tomatoes $1.33 - $1 off 2 = $.66 for 2, $0.33 each

Land O'Lakes eggs are $2.79/doz. There is a $0.50 or a $0.55 coupon from the 02/22 SS that makes them $1.79 or $1.69/doz.

Reader Anna alerted us to some (as Posh would say): may-jah steals. Thanks so much, Anna, for the heads-up!

Oikos Greek-style yogurt 5.3 oz. cups, $2 - $1 coupon in Sunday 4/4's paper insert=FREE

Daisy Sour Cream 8 oz. 3/$4 - .60 coupon from Sunday 4/4 insert = 0.13

Thai Kitchen Instant Rice Noodle Soup from $.89 to .95 - .50 coupon from insert several weeks ago = FREE

and Johnsonville breakfast sausage patties were just .79 with Sunday 4/5's coupon.

And finally, from reader Amber (thanks, Amber!):

I haven't seen anyone mention Bumblebee. They didn't actually *have* the things in my store, but a Bumblebee coupon (an old one - maybe early February - I'm sorry I don't remember) has "Prime Filets" $1/1. They were priced at $2 at my store, which would have made them free, had they been in stock.


****************

Adapted from reader Lisa's comments (Thanks, Lisa!):

Melita coffee filters, $1 off 03/01 SS. (Most coffee filters at my store about $1.69 to $1.89.), so, FREE.


Barilla Piccolini, $0.50 off 03/29 SS, 3 for $4 ($1.33), so, FREE.

Dole, $1 off 3 cans; small cans of pineapple $0.80 each, so, after coupon, doubled, $0.40 for three -- still printing Catalinas for $0.75 off your next order for each 4 cans purchased. So, purchase 12 cans, use four $1 off coupons, pay $1.60, get Catalinas back for $2.25 off -- this may be the last day for these Catalinas to print. I got this information from a sign posted at Giant. The Catalinas print at both stores.

Betty Crocker frosting, $1.59, $0.50 off coupon in 4-5 Smart Source, so, $0.09 after coupon triples.



*********************

From reader frugalfriends:

(1) Huggies Cucumber & Green Tea Lotion (15 FL OZ) was discounted down to $1.49 in the baby/diapers aisle and I had a Huggies $1 off printable coupon that doubled so this item was FREE!

(2) Maple Grove Farms of Vermont salad dressings were in the "quickly reduced" section and the "Balsamic Vinaigrette w/ Pure Maple Syrup" and "Fat Free Poppyseed Dressing" both 8 oz. were reduced down to $1.09. I found 3 that had large peelies on the front "Get $1 off when you buy 2" so I bought 6 and used 3 of my $1/2 coupons which doubled, and that brought the final price down to $0.09 each!

(3) Turkey Hill Dynamic Duos ice cream, 1.5 qt. is on sale 2/$6 and I had a coupon from a Red Plum insert (unsure of date) for $1 off one, so after double coupons this was only $1!

I also noticed that there were some Karo Syrup products (Karo Brown Sugar) in the "quickly reduced" section but didn't see a price, so I'm going to go back tomorrow and see what the price was and if I should use my $0.40 coupon from a Red Plum insert (expires 4/30/09) which would triple up to $1.20 off the total (so this could be free or at least really cheap!).

I also noticed a KY product in the "quickly reduced" section that I think was $8-$9 (because the package/box had been beaten up a little but was unopened) and I have a $5 off Red Plum coupon that I might use on that (expires 6/30/09).

AND, from Laura of frugalfriends: Capri Suns are $2/pack, FREE after this weekend's $1 coupon! Woohoo!

*********************
Reader Holly asked: I noticed that the Kimberly-Clark promotion Spend $20 get $5 isn't in the triple coupon/double coupon promotion store ads only in the store ads that don't offer the triple coupon promotion. Does it still work at those stores?

For example: Manassas is offering the triple coupons and Lorton isn't but Lorton ad is offering the Kimberly-Clark promotion.

Our answer: we're not sure, ourselves. The matchup list was originally typed up on the assumption that besides the missing doubles/triples offer, the ad would be the same. Has anybody pulled off the KC deal in a doubling/tripling store? Let us know by leaving a comment!

Another note from Holly: Cottonelle is 2/$12 (cheaper) at Manassas and with the double coupon it will come out to $4!

Be sure to check out the health and beauty aisles for mark downs! I found Band-Aids for $1.49, free after $1 coupon! Also, certain Gillette and Degree deodorant were marked down to $1.84 and $2.19, also free after $1 coupon. Finally, Crest is marked down to $2, so more free toothpaste!
Thanks, Ashley!
