Have You Missed Me?

It turns out I can't keep up with 3 part-time jobs and a blog. I so wish I could continue with the weekly updates, but life is getting in the way! There are so many wonderful blogs and forums out there, I feel like I'm just a drop in the bucket anyway.

I'm still going to the drug stores every week and shopping for great deals, I am just unable to post consistently and I feel bad that you all can't rely on me! I may post some random deals but try not to hold your breath!

I have lots of excuses

Is everyone on spring break this week? I hope so, because it seems that this blog is! I got back late Monday night from a long weekend in Wisconsin and added a 3rd part time job (+ blogging) to my to do list, so Can I Get It For Free is taking a breather this week. However, if I don't get on the ball, I'm going to miss all the sales too...so I hope to make some sort of short list and post it soon. The ladies on the A Full Cup Forum always have their eyes on the great deals, so you can check them out if you are itching to get to the store!

Rite Aid through 4/3

Boring this week...

**Buy 2 Veet products BOGO, should be one for $5.99, print 2 - $3 coupons here = 2 free
**Buy 2 Clearasil Daily Pore Cleansing Pads 90 count $4.49 each, print 2 - $2 coupons here (click on printable coupons and then personal care) also print a $1 RA Video Values coupon= possibly $.50 overage

The items above are completely free with possible overage at the register. Pick up a piece of Easter candy to cover your overage and hope that the cashier doesn't freak out!...but even if they do, the coupons and sales are completely legitimate!

CVS through 4/3

**Stayfree of Carefree Pads 14-24ct or pantiliners 38-60ct $3.99 with $2 ECB (limit 4), buy 2 and use 1 - $2 coupon from Sunday’s paper and BOGO coupon from the 1/3 paper = $2 overage
**Bioluxe Buy One at $9.99 get one free, look for one with a Free after rebate handtag = 2 free after rebate
**Oral B Advantage $2.99 with $2 ECB (limit 1), use BOGO coupon and $.75 coupon from the paper = $.24 for 2
**Huggies Jumbos 2 for $17.99 with $5 ECB, print 2 - $3 coupons from Coupons.com = $3.50 each

It's going to be sad when all these diaper deals disappear...

Wags through 4/3

The first five items listed are free after RRs, no coupons needed...but coupons make for great overage!

**Dentek floss 55 yd $2 with $2 RR, use $1 coupon from paper (expires 3/31) or print one here = $1 overage
**Dove Shampoo or Conditioner 8 or 12oz or styling product 7 or 9.25 oz with $4 with $4 RR, use $1.50 coupon from Sunday’s paper = $1.50 overage
**Dulcolax Balance 8.3 oz $10 with $10 RR, use $3 or $2 coupon from paper or print a $4 coupon here = up to $4 overage
** Simply Saline Allergy & Sinus $7 with $7 RR, use $1 coupon from paper = $1 overage
**Walgreens One Daily Multivitamins $3 with $3 RR= free!
**Litehouse Caramel Dip $1, use $1 coupon from the paper (expires 3/31) = free

**Airwick i-Motion Kit 50% Off, should be $4 after sale, use $4 coupon from paper or print one here = free
**Buy 2 or more participating Zrytec, Benadryl, Tylenol or Sudafed products get a $5RR…buy 2 Children’s Benadryl $4.99 each, print 2 - $1.50 off coupons here and use $1 coupon from the Wags Childrens Activity Book (takes off $2) = 2 free

Here’s a scenario for someone starting out with no RRs.
Transaction #1 (I’m going to get the free after coupons items in the first transaction)
Dulcolax $10
Litehouse Caramel Dip $1
Halls $1.xx
Airwick $4
Total : $16.xx
Coupons:
$4 Dulcolax
$1 Litehouse
$1 Halls
$4 Airwick
$.99 Halls in-ad (hand over last) (this doesn’t take off $.99, it makes the product $.99) (Wags coupons should not count in item-to-coupon ratio)
OOP: $6
RRs received: $10
Overage: $4
______________________________
Transaction #2
Dentek floss $2
Dove Conditioner $4
Simply Saline Allergy & Sinus $7
Walgreens One Daily Multivitamins $3
Total: $16
Coupons:
$1 Dentek
$1.50 Dove
$1 Simply Saline
$10 Dulcolax RR
OOP: $2.50
RRs received: $16 (one for each item)
Overage: $3.50 (RRs received – RRs used –OOP)

So over those 2 transactions we spent $8.50 out of pocket, but have $16 to spend next time!

My Target Trip!

Target has lots of super deals. I don't go REALLY often, just because I would get in a lot of trouble with all the wonderful (non-sale) items there. But I went to Target on Tuesday. They had a similar deal as Toys R Us on Toy Story 1 and 2....and I was planning on going to TRU Tuesday for the deal, but I realized that the $2 extra I would spend at Target on the movies (they were $22.99 each with $10 off when you buy 2, where TRU was $16.99 when you bought 2) would be spent in the gas to get there (P.S. Target price matches, so if I had received the TRU ad in the paper I could have used it to get them for $16.99 each). So since I was making a trip to Target I decided to look around for some other deals. I came out with the following...

**Toy Story 1 & 2, $22.99 each, minus $10 off for buying both, minus 2 - $10 off coupons = $15.98 PLUS they each came with movie tickets for Toy Story 3 which comes out in June, worth $8.50 a piece...so I would say I came out on top by $1.02!!!**
**Target brand formula 40oz $16.xx, found $1 peelie coupons on Target brand body wash/lotion = $15.xx! (P.S. there were also peelies for $.75 off Target wipes and $1 off Target pull-ups)
**Target brand Toddler refill wipes (flushable) $1.24, minus $.75 peelie coupon = $.49
**AirWick I-Motion $6, used $5 newspaper coupon and printed $1 Target coupon = free
**Monopoly $7, used the $5 coupon from Sunday's paper, but if you missed it, you can print one here = $2
**Connect 4, used the $4 coupon from Sunday's paper, but if you missed if, you can print one here and print a $3 Target coupon** = free
**Buy 10 Sobe, get a $5 gift card, I printed 2 - $.50 off Target coupons** and I printed 2 - BOGO Sobe coupons here = $8 out of pocket, $2 for 10 after gift card!

Before coupons my total was about $89 and after a lot of HUGE value coupons I paid about $36. How ridiculous is that!?!

**After linking the Target coupons above, I looked through them online and it seems as if they've taken down the Connect 4 (it was $3 off select Hasbro) and Sobe coupons. BUT there was a new $3 off select Disney DVD/Blu-Ray. I'm not close to my printer to check out the details, so I'm not sure what it's for...but if it's for Toy Story, that's an extra $6 ($3 each) off!

***you could technically get 2 free products with the Kingsford but I didn’t want to bank on RA having KC Masterpiece or Hidden Valley, if the do, then you could replace the milk and decrease your cost….your cost would also be decreased if the Glad is more than my estimated $3.

Free Pastry at Starbucks

Tomorrow, March 23, get a free pastry with drink purchase from open until 10:30am with this coupon. It says you can print it, or show it to the barista on your "mobile device."

Toy Story 1 & 2 Combo Packs $6.99 Each, Plus 2 Free Movie Tix

Toy Story and Toy Story 2 are being released tomorrow (Tuesday) in a DVD/Blu-Ray combo pack. I don't need the Blu-Rays and really don't understand why they have to be sold together...but that's where the sales and coupons are, so that's what I'm going to get. Also each combo pack (should) comes with a movie ticket (up to $8.50) for Toy Story 3 which comes out in June!

First, log in or sign up for Disney Movie Rewards. Then, enter code 786936294507 in the "enter code" box for a $10 off Toy Story coupon. Then, enter code 786936294521 for a $10 off Toy Story 2 coupon!

So far it looks like Toys R Us has the best deal. When you buy both TS 1 & 2 you will get them for $16.99 each...Buy both, use one each of the $10 coupons = $13.98 out of pocket plus 2 movie tickets!

KMart advertised that if you buy both you'll get $10 off the total purchase...but they didn't advertise how much they cost. However, with the $10 off and 2 - $10 coupons, that's $30 off the original price! If you printed the $10 off $20 coupon you could try using it. It seems that KMart "mistakenly" posted the coupon on their website (really?!?!). You could try using it though...I might. Depending on how much the movies are, or if you are buying other items there are always $5 off $50 coupons available.

$10 off $20 at KMart

Get your paper out, make sure you ink is full and print print print! $10 off a $20 purchase good through 5/22!!! I mean that's like half off anything you want...dog food, grass seed, DVDs, shoes, 2 liters, washer fluid, toys!

Okay, if you can get over the excitement of regular priced items being half price, how about SUPER DOUBLES starting the first week of April!!! During Super Doubles weeks, KMart doubles up to $2 coupons and up to 5 coupons in a transaction. So for every $2 coupon you'll get $4 off! I think the hardest part will be not going negative with the $10 off coupon!

I am not going to post a list of free after Super Doubles items, the lists are WAY too long - there are other people that have already done all the work and I am not going to copy and paste everything onto this blog. My first suggestion would be to visit the Kmart forum of A Full Cup. They're going to give you the most up to date information and a ridiculous amount of scenarios and examples.

However, here are a few ideas for the $10 off coupon for this week...the only problem is you'll have to visit KMart 3 times over the next 2 days if you want all 3 deals!

**Buy $30 worth of qualifying items on page 13 of this weeks ad get $10 off your next order...purchase 5 - 12 packs of Quilted Northern at $7.49, use 2 - $1 off 2 coupons from the paper and the $10 off $20 coupon = $25.45 out of pocket - $10 OYNO - $5 rebate = $10.45...that's less than $.18 per roll!
**Buy $20 in qualifying items on page 3 of the ad get $3 off your next order...purchase 2 Huggies at $9.99 and Colgate toothpaste at $2.50, (also add in a piece of gum or something really cheap because you'll need as many items as coupons in order to check out).... hand over the $10 off $20 coupon first then 2 printed $3 off Huggies at Coupons.com (click on household), and $1 off Colgate from the paper = $5.48 for everything! (depending on your cheap filler item!)
**Buy the Princess and Frog DVD at $20.99 and Princess Tiana Doll at $10.99 get $10 off at the register for buying both (page 1 of the ad), hand over the $10 off $20 coupon first and then a printed $5 coupon here = $6.98. THEN purchaes 2 Band-Aid items and submit for the $5 rebate here (Band-Aids are free at Wags this week) = $1.98 for the DVD and doll!

30% off Old Navy

Walgreens Monthly Deals: Kleenex

Someone asked me about the Kleenex RR in this weeks Walgreens post, but for some reason I can't publish comments tonight! So, I'll just explain in a post...

Walgreens has weekly and monthly Register Reward offers. Often the monthly offers are just advertised for one week in the weekly ad and even just one week on the shelf. But the original shelf tag describes how long the sale is (but is often taken down after the advertisement week). The Kleenex Register Reward started a few weeks ago and lasts through 3/21. I didn't mention the deal until this week, because they are on sale this week with an in-ad coupon for $.89 which makes it a great deal after coupons and RR. The complete offer is:

Buy 6 Kleenex get $3RR; Buy 5 get $2RR; Buy 4 get $1RR. The best deal is buying 6 because you may use 2 - $.50 off 3 coupons making them just $.22 after the in-ad coupon!

CVS through 3/20

There’s not too much at CVS this week, but it might be worth going for some cheap candy!

Life of a $35 Visa week 3 & 4

I wasn't able to get out much on week 3, so I am putting weeks 3 & 4 together. It is discouraging that when I worked full time I could pick a different drug store to visit on my lunch break each day, and now that I hang out with 2 kids all day it's difficult to justify a 5 minute trip with all the coats and car seats in and out and "stay there," don't move," "just one more minute," and even a "I'll give you candy if..." It's easier to just wait for Jeremy to get home. And because I haven't been shopping as often, I regret to say that I've let a $5 ECB and a $2 and $3 Register Rewards expire. That's $10!!! I've got to keep on top of it! You can check out weeks 1 and 2 here and here. I've bought some things I've "needed" this week so I haven't made much profit - that along with my lost RRs and ECBs increased my out of pocket a bit!

At checkout, enter offer code SECRETVS to add the rewards card to your cart…and if you want more than one gift card, make a few separate orders!!! It looks like shipping is $5.99, so you'll pay $.98 for the panties or have a $2.02 profit on the wipes...and that's if you get a $10 card...what if you made $492 .02 profit on the wipes?!

Wags through 2/6

**Buy 5 Axe Body Wash Gel $4.11 (25% off this week), print this $1 off coupon 5 times (you’ll need 3 computers) pay $15.55 and get a register reward for 2 movie tickets! I think $15.55 is quite a bit cheaper than 2 movie tickets + 5 free Body Wash!..if you just have 1 computer you could print 2 coupons and get everything for $18.55, still a great price!
**Blink Gel Tears $7.99 with $7.99RR, use $2 coupon from the 1/31 paper, or print a $1.50 off coupon = at least $1.50 overage – also look for twin packs that work with this deal! = 2 free + $1.50 overage
**Vitamin Schick Lip Care $1.99 with $2RR = free
**Buy 2 Advil PM (16-20 ct) @ $4.49 each receive a $5 RR, print 2 - $2 off = 2 free
**Bayer Contour Blood Glucose Meter $14.99 with $10RR, use $30 off coupon (cashier will adjust it to $14.99) = $10 overage!
**Zicam Cold Sore Gel Swabs 10ct $10 with $7RR, look for $3 peelie coupon on the package = free
**Joint Juice 30 pack $10 with $10RR, register for the 30 day challenge and print a BOGO coupon = 2 free
**Scalpicin Anti-Itch Medicated Wipes $5.99 with $6RR = free
**Buy 2 Post Shredded Wheat @ $1 each, print a $2 off coupon = 2 free!
**Vitamin Water Lip Care $1.99 with $2RR = free (free all month!)
**If you haven’t completed the Pepsi Rebate yet this may be your last chance! Buy 7 - 12 packs of Pepsi products @ $3 each = $21 out of pocket and you’ll get $10 RR back. Go back and do this deal again (you may use other RRs to pay for them,but you cannot pay with the first Pepsi $10 RR)…So you’ll end up paying $42 out of pocket and getting $20 in RRs back, THEN submit for the $10 rebate = $12 actual cost = $.86 each!!!

Rite Aid through 2/6

Our $5 off $25 coupon expires Sunday 1/31, so I’m listing all the deals today so you can get out and finish any P&G transactions on the new weekly ad on Sunday. Check out this post for some Rite Aid abbreviations and explanations, and this post for eligible P&G items and a bunch of Olay rebates! Below are the P&G items on sale this week but there are a ton of items that you could buy that are NOT on sale, that you’d still get a good price on after the rebate and $5 off coupon.

**Gain & Cheer $4.99, print a $1 off Cheer Bright & Clean if it's included in the sale = $3.99
**Dawn Hand Renewel $.88, use $.50 off from paper = $.38
**Covergirl BOGO50%, use 2 - $1 off from paper
**Always/Tampax (smaller ones) $2.99, use $1 off from paper, or $1 off on package = $1.99

**Buy 2 Garnier Fructis, use 2 - $1 off from paper and $1 off from RA Video Values = 2 for $2
**Pampers Big Box $19.99, use $2 coupon from paper = $17.99
**Pampers jumbo $11.99 (online price) with $2 SCR, use $2 coupon from paper = $7.99 (not a great deal, but it works toward P&G - the SCR is good through 2/25, so you could wait for a sale if you wanted

Non-P&G items you can get for free this week! (or use them to get your $25 total for the coupon):
**Buy 2 Chex Mix at $.99 each, use $1 off 2 from paper and $1 off 2 from RA Video Values) = 2 free
**Colgate Total Advanced $2.99 with $2 SCR (single check rebate), use $1 coupon from paper = free

If you're getting to this post later in the week, you're in luck, because I just found a $5 off $25 on Red Plum! You can probably only print 2 though!

Wags through 1/30

**Buy $20 of Pepsi 12 packs @ 3 for $12 or 2 liters 4 for $5, or Tostitos 2 for $5 get a $10 RR – purchase 6-12 packs for $20 = $1.67 each. Get a $10 rebate after doing this deal twice (or complete 1/2 the deal at CVS ). If you make 2 transactions at Wags you CANNOT use the $10 RR to buy this again – you won’t get another RR –buy something else with it later. After purchasing 12 - 12 packs, they're $.83 each!
**Pert Plus Shampoo plus Conditioner 12-13.5 oz. 2 for $5 with $2RR, use 2-$1.50 or $1 coupons from the paper = 2 free …look for “Try Me Free” stickers on Pert Plus for Men = $1.50 overage

CVS through 1/30

If you missed the 12 free 12 packs last week, you can still get them for pretty cheap this week...but you’ll need to visit CVS and Walgreens (or you could visit Walgreens twice)! Last week you could buy $20 in items and get $10 ECB back, and you could complete this deal twice – this week, you can only do once. The reason you should complete this transaction twice is because of the $10 rebate here. You really only have to purchase $30 worth of products for the rebate, but to get the ECB or RR back, you’ll have to buy $40 worth. Here’s the deal:

**Purchase 6 – 12 packs of Pepsi @ $20 (or throw in some Tostitos @ 3 for $7), receive a $10 ECB = $1.67 per pack (See Wags post to complete this deal with the rebate)
**Ivory Soap 3 pack $.99, use the $1 coupon from the paper = free
**Soy Joy 6 ct. box $6 with $6 ECB (limit 6!) = free
**Glade Fabric & Air 22oz. or Oust Air Sanitizer 10 oz. $3.99 with $3 ECB, use BOGO coupon from paper = 2 free + $2 overage!

Rite Aid through 1/30

I apologize for the late posting this week-I got a new laptop and my programs aren't linking up that nicely yet. But I'm trying my best! Anyway, I’m going to write a Rite Aid “How-To” soon. To get us through todays' post, here are some quick explanations…
Single Check Rebate: Sign up here. Fill in your receipt information and they'll figure out all the qualifying items you purchased. At the end of the month request your check by mail (I’ve gotten $15-$35 each month since October!)
Game of Life: Through February, play this awesome game - I explained it a little bit here
Video Value Coupons: I’ve heard a little about these coupons, but I just took advantage of it Monday! Sign up here and watch little commercials to get RA coupons. They may be used with manufacturer coupons. Most commercials are about 30 seconds. When you get 20 credits (about 20 commercials) you get a $5 off $20 coupon! There are 3 items below with VV coupons.
P&G deal: Through the 1st week of February take advantage of this gift card rebate, I explained it here

**Maybelline Cosmetics 40% Off,, purchase Maybelline Mascara receive a $2 SCR (single rebate check), Great Lash is $4.89 online, so at 40% off = $2.93, use $1 from paper and $1 VV found here = $1 overage
**Quilted Northern $6.49, use $1 off from paper & $2 off VV coupon = $3.49 (great deal on tp!)

P&G Items…most of these items are not originally “free” because there are so many opportunities to get them for free after this $5 off $25 coupon and the $35 gift card when purchasing $100.
**Olay Quench Lotion $9.99 (based on Online Price), use $1 off Olay lotion coupon from paper, then submit for the Olay Quench Rebate = $1 overage

**Buy 2 Oral B Indicator $1.99 each, use $.75 off 2 from paper = $3.23 for 2
**Pampers Big Box $19.99, use $2 coupon from paper (or whatever you might have) = $17.99
**Pampers jumbo $12.99 (online price) with $2 SCR, use $2 coupon from paper = $8.99 (not a great deal, but it works toward P&G - the SCR is good through 2/25, so you could wait for a sale if you wanted
