CVS Pharmacy GreenBagTag

  • Posted on June 24, 2011 at 11:36 PM

There is a promotion that I finally took part of last week at CVS. I bought a cute little “GreenBagTag” for 99cents. You can find them at any CVS Pharmacy or online. My cashier told me to keep it attached to my recyclable bag (It does not have to be a CVS bag) and every time I visit CVS have them scan it along with my ExtraCare card*. Every 4th visit will earn me $1 ECB!

I plan on keeping it looped to my purse. A lot of times I don’t get a bag, though now that I’m learning the ropes at CVS and finding great buys, that may change. 🙂

*Limit one scan per day.

Couponing Challenges

  • Posted on June 16, 2011 at 11:33 PM

Can someone answer this question for me? Why do we only get coupons based on our region? How does that work? Who dictates what areas get certain coupons, while others don’t?  I can understand difference in values, but to not get certain coupons all together frazzles me.

Since I started stepping up  my coupon game I have put, and continue to put, a lot of time and effort into it. I’m yet to save more than 50-60 % on my bill. I knew it would be a challenge because of where I live. It’s still frustrating.

I may be speaking for myself, but here in Montana we take showers, eat a variety of foods, change our children’s diapers and catch colds and the flu. We may be one of  the poorest states in the country, yet we still shop til’ we drop. Throw us a freakin’ bone here coupon people!

I was so pumped last week after reading about Sunday’s up and coming coupons. Yes, I was warned and in turn warned others that not every coupon would be available to us. I still crossed my fingers. I was dying to get my hands on the $2/1 Dial coupon. When I got the paper and combed through the inserts I saw that we didn’t get it. We sell Dial in our stores! Also missing (there is more, but these were the two I wanted/needed/had to have) was the Goodlife Recipe cat treats coupon. I have 5 cats and I’m sure I’m not the only Montanan that has them.

I guess I’ll  just need to work harder. I’m not out to become an “Extreme” couponer, but I do want to save big time money.

National Flip Flop Day

  • Posted on June 15, 2011 at 2:55 AM

June 17th is Tropical Smoothie Cafe’s 5th annual National Flip Flop Day! The first 500 people to visit the store get a FREE Smoothie! In order to get the smoothie you must be wearing Flip Flops. I better get a pedi before I go, or I’ll scare everyone way.

~D

The following was taken from their site. It explains how NFFD came to be.

On June 17th, Tropical Smoothie Café will celebrate the 5th anniversary of National Flip Flop Day! It all started back in 2007 as a celebration encouraging our customers to kick off summer, and their shoes, by wearing a pair of flip flops.  As a simple thank you to our loyal customers, the first 500 people wearing flip flops at each location were given a FREE 24 oz. Jetty Punch smoothie. Soon after, we realized that National Flip Flop Day was also the perfect opportunity to spread some sunshine to those in need. In 2008, we proudly announced a national charity partnership with a magical place called Camp Sunshine. Today, we still spend National Flip Flop Day celebrating the kick off of summer by wearing flip flops and giving away free smoothies, but we also raise awareness and money for Camp Sunshine. This year, we decided to expand our charity efforts into six weeks of fundraising to help children with life-threatening illnesses and their families to make more magical memories.

Learn more about Camp Sunshine here. Make a donation at any local Tropical Smoothie CafĂ©, or right now by clicking here. And, don’t forget to stop by your local Tropical Smoothie CafĂ© on June 17th for a FREE 24 oz. Jetty Punch smoothie*. Just remember to wear your flip flops, and to maybe bring along a dollar or two to help those in need. That’s the spirit we started National Flip Flop Day with five years ago, and one we hope will continue for many years to come.

Free Lofthouse Cookies on Your Birthday.

  • Posted on June 14, 2011 at 11:11 PM

Lofthouse cookies are the best cookies ever! They literally melt in your mouth. If you haven’t had them you MUST give them a try. You’ll wonder how you have survived  this long without them. 🙂

When I found out I could get a free package of them on my birthday (they send you a coupon) I screamed out loud scaring my cats. To scare your cats too go to the Lofthouse cookie website and join their club. Click on contact and fill out the form.  Make sure you note that you want to join their “Club Lofthouse“.

What is your favorite Lofthouse flavor?

Target Coupon Policy Updated

  • Posted on June 14, 2011 at 9:24 PM

Target has made changes to their official coupon policy.  I recommend printing off a new copy of this policy to keep in your binder.

1. BOGO coupons cannot be combined (i.e. you cannot use two BOGO coupons on two items and get both for free). Unless stated otherwise on the coupon, the use of one Buy One Get One Free coupon requires that two of the valid items are presented at checkout of which one item will be charged to the guest and the 2nd item will be discounted by its full retail price.

2. A second cents-off coupon of the same type cannot be redeemed towards the purchase price of the first item.
In other words Target is now prohibiting the use of a $ off manufacturer’s coupon on the non free item when using a manufacturer’s B1G1 coupon.  For example, if you have a buy one get one free coupon for Tide, you would not be able to use a $2/1 coupon on the Tide that you are “paying” for.

3. If a Target BOGO coupon is used, one additional manufacturer coupon maybe used on the first item.
You can no longer use 2 manufacturer’s coupons against a Target B1G1 Store Coupon. This means if you have a B1G1 Free Pantene Target Coupon, you may only use one $1/1 Pantene Manufacturer Coupon.  You can no longer use 2 manufacturer’s coupons against both items.

4. If a Manufacturer BOGO coupon is used, one additional Target coupon may be used on the first item.
You can no longer use 2 Target Coupons against a Manufacturer’s B1G1 Coupon. So in other words if you have a B1G1 Old Spice Body Wash Manufacturer’s Coupon, you can no longer use two $1/1 Old Spice Body Wash Target Store Coupons along with it. you may only use 1 store coupon.

What do you think of these changes?  Since I’m still pretty new at this, I’m not bothered. Perhaps I don’t quite understand the ramifications these changes bring.

~D

Thank you Totally Target

Snail Mail Call June 13, 2011

  • Posted on June 13, 2011 at 10:46 PM

I had another good week last week with freebies. It gets better every day!

*Clock-wise*

The Aveda one is no longer available. It was for the first 20,000 on FB. If you follow me on FaceBook, I share everything I sign-up for.

Sample of Garnier Shampoo/Conditioner and Anti-wrinkle cream + $1 coupon toward any Garneir Moisturizer. I got this via the WalMart sample page. It’s no longer available. 🙁 There are always offers there so bookmark that page!

I’ve received the Yogi Tea samples before and it really is good tea. They are generous with their samples as well. This time I got two with a coupon. Last time I got four. The link allows you to send a Well-Wish to a friend, then you get to choose two teas for yourself. 🙂

The only reason I signed up for Miracle Whip is because my brother uses it on EVERYTHING. Ok, not everything, but it seems like we’re buying it weekly. Sadly, no coupons came with the sample.

Finally I got this All-In-One Survival Kit from P&G. The sample is actually from their BeingGirl.com site. I just love the cute little deodorant. It’s perfect to keep in my purse or locker at work. In the picture above you can see (if you look REALLY hard) that it also came with 4 coupons.

I’m going to blame Steve for the above picture. Unless it’s bikes, hammocks or computer related I have to beg him to help me take pictures and stuff.

I hope you’re snail mail box is getting love too! Please feel free to post what goodies you get too~
