Get a $20 rebate when you buy Olay Regenerist Anti-Aging Eye Roller and a Pantene shampoo or conditioner. We have posted this on the Rebate page on the right side bar.  You have until October 25th to take advantage of this great rebate.

Here are some more rebate tips:

  • Only buy one item per receipt that has a mail in rebate. Most if not all rebate offers require the original receipt. Some stores can print two receipts if you ask.

SC Johnson $5 Rebate Up To $15

Frances | September 30, 2009

We have added a new rebate to the Rebate page on the right side bar.

This rebate is from SC Johnson and may include products that you have already purchased. This rebate ends 7/31/10 so you have plenty of time to gather your receipts.

You can do this rebate three times for up to $15 back.  Here is the link to the printable form.

Get a $5 rebate if you purchase any of the following items:

  • Drano
  • Fantastik
  • Glade
  • Nature’s Source
  • Off
  • Pledge
  • Raid
  • Saran
  • Scrubbing Bubbles
  • Shout
  • Windex
  • Ziploc

Check out the Rebate page for other rebates.

As you know we are always on the look out for “Try Me Free” peelies
and tear cards in the grocery store. This is a great way to try
products for free.

Did you know that you can even use a coupon for these free items? It
is OK, don’t worry, you are getting your cost of postage back plus
some. But, be careful when you use CVS ECBs and rebate forms. CVS ECBs
can show up as a coupon and making your total purchase less than the
amount for the rebate item.

Here are a few helpful hints to tracking and keeping up with rebates.

Number One and the most important of all tips.
Apply for the rebate immediately after you get home. Even if you
haven’t opened the box. You can cut the UPC code from the box without
opening it. Have you ever heard the saying “if I don’t do it now, I
won’t do it”, well Mamo
use to say this all the time. It is so true for us, if we don’t file
that rebate immediately when we get home we won’t do it. It will end up
in a drawer or purse and it will not see the light of day until it is
too late. We know it is hard, you just got home from the store, kids are
hungry, the phone is ringing… Do yourself a favor and place it where
you will see it again after things settle down. Tape it to the TV or
computer screen, put it next to your keys, place it with your bills, or
what we do (we have a clean desk) we place it on our desk out in the open so
we have to deal with it. If it goes in the desk drawer we will never see
it again.

Number Two
Make sure you only buy one item per receipt that has a mail in rebate.
Most if not all rebate offers require the original receipt. Some stores
can print two receipts if you ask.

Number Three
Take a minute in the store and read the rebate. Make sure you
understand the small print and that you have met the purchase
requirements and the rebate period has not expired.

Number Four
Place the receipt, rebate form, and UPCs in an envelope immediately
when you get home. Those UPCs are small and can get lost. Receipts to
us are like the socks in the dryer, they just disappear to never be
seen again. We immediately address the envelope (sometimes just the
first line of the address) and place the rebate form, UPCs, and receipt
in the envelope and place it on the desk for later.

Make a copy of the rebate form and receipt. Create a rebate file or
keep track of your rebates on a spreadsheet. We have not had a problem
with getting rebates back but you never know. We also like keeping
track of the rebates I receive. For the spreadsheet, we place the name
of the company, when it was mailed, and the link to the offer.

Free Admission to Disney

Frances | September 30, 2009

Disney is offering a new program called Give A Day Get A Day. If you volunteer to work at “participating organizations” you will receive a free ticket to the park.

Children ages 6 years of age can work as a volunteer for their free ticket.

Combine this with a free admission on your birthday and you could enjoy a nice weekend vacation.

Here are the details from the site:

BEGINNING JANUARY 1, 2010, when you sign up to volunteer a day of service with a participating organization (and your service is completed and verified) you’ll get one day admission to a Walt Disney World® or Disneyland® theme park, FREE! We want to inspire one million people to volunteer a day of service.

Check out the FAQs, for signing up your children who are at least 6 years of age. They can volunteer as well.

You must be at least 18 years of age to sign up, and you may sign-up up to a maximum of 8 additional members of your same household. Children must be at least 6 years of age to volunteer under this program and receive a theme park ticket. Children ages 6-17 must be accompanied by an adult when volunteering. Other age restrictions may apply to certain eligible volunteer opportunities.

Here are some Frugal Fairhope Disney Cost Saving Ideas.

Disney is also offering free admission to the military through December for the Florida park.

A Word About Downloading Coupons

Frances | September 30, 2009

Most of the coupon sites at the very least require you to put in your name and email address. The reputable companies give you an opt out option. Typically we will opt in to their newsletters to get access to more coupons. So far, our junk mail has not been a problem, but we use the filtering email that helps a lot with junk mail.

Now there are sites that we do not like and do not pull coupons from unless we really want the coupon. There is one site that makes you go through tons of offers before you get to the coupon you want. It is frustrating to have to mark “no” to all the questions, who has time for that? We want to print my coupon, see an advertiser or two and go.

We have set up several free email accounts. Several of the email accounts are for junk filters. With most accounts you can forward emails from several email accounts to one account. You can reduce the amount of junk email if you filter the junk mail from the original accounts before it is transfered to the one final account. If the email makes it through the first account you can always mark it as junk in the second account. From time to time I will go into email folder of the junk email to check for emails that I may want.

We only use the junk email accounts to sign up for coupons, sweepstakes, and free offers so we are not crowding our inbox with offers we do not want.

$109.72 in Publix Groceries for $14.07

Frances | September 30, 2009

img_7606

$109.87 for $14.07!

This included 9 packages of ground beef, 2 packages of chicken, 6 Publix shopping bags (free) and lots of other stuff… Check out how we worked the meat purchase. For those of you who were looking for meat and chicken coupons, take a look.

2 Shelby Chicken Chili $2.19
2 Packages of Chicken $3.04 & $2.01
9 Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper B1G1 $1.99
9 Packages of Ground Beef $1.99lb
-Used 9 $1 ground beef WYB Hamburger Helper printable
-Used 9 $1 ground beef tear pad from Spanish Fort Bruno’s
-Used 2 $1 chicken WYB Shelby Chili (peelie on package)
-Used 3 $1/3 Printable
-$5 off $25 CVS coupon

Final Price: $8.44 ($36.44 in groceries for 71% off)

FFF Tip: We tested our theory on the nice employees at the Fairhope Publix store and asked the butcher for 9 packages of ground beef placed in 1lb servings and to split the boneless chicken into 2 packages.  We were able to stack our coupons on ground beef (Publix and manufacture).

There was a peelie on both Chili boxes for $1 off boneless chicken packages.  So we picked the cheapest package of chicken we could find and ask the butcher to split that as well.

The best part is that we did not have to wait, he came and tracked us down in the store (did I tell you that I love Publix). Try and get that kind of service at Wal-Mart and they might kick you out of the store. :-D

Keep in mind, Publix rings up the B1G1 as half price so you don’t have to buy two boxes to take advantage of the B1G1 sale. We bought the Hamburger Helper in sets of threes to take advantage of the manufacture coupon.

Here is the deal on the Velveeta Cheese Shells and Kraft BBQ. We found a great recipe for baked beans for the Kraft BBQ sauce. We took this photo before we left the house, so you could see the deal. The products in this photo were from the previously posted Target deal.

img_7605

2 Kraft Barbecue Sauce B1G1 $1.79
4 Kraft Velveeta Shells & Cheese Dinner $1.67
-Used 2 $.35 peelies found on packages that we had previously purchased.
-Used 2 B2 Velveeta Get Kraft BBQ free that we had from previously posted Target deal (see BONUS).

Final Price: $5.97

FFF Tip: We noticed that the Velveeta boxes had this same peelie from the previously posted Target deal. So again we have two more peelies for another deal. We know it is hard to resist peeling the peelies off of packages, we wouldn’t recommend doing this without purchasing the product. Tear pads and blinkies that is a different story, because they are not attached to the product.

We got 3 Publix bags for free and almost got these snacks for free. We will place these in the freezer to keep for the holiday parties and events that we attend. We can not even begin to tell you how nice it is to head out the door and grab a bag or box of snacks for an event where we have to bring something.

9 General Mills Chex Mix $1.67
3 Publix Shopping Bags $.99
-Used 9 $1 Afullcup.com Target Coupon Generator
-Used 4 $1/2 coupon 9/13 SS
-Used 3 Free Shopping bag WYB 2 General Mills products printable
-$.50 Printable

Final Price: $1.50 ($14.64 in groceries for 90% savings)

FFF Tip: If you notice the Publix printable coupons located on this pdf, states “Limit one purchase per coupon per customer”. We try and stay within the rules of all coupons so we asked if we could use several of these Publix coupons in one transaction. This was approved by management.

We chose the cheapest Old El Paso in order to get the free Publix shopping bags.
2 Old El Paso Tortillas $1.25
2 Enchilada Sauce $1.25
Old El Paso Taco Seasoning $1.19
2 Publix shopping bags $.99
-Used 2 Free Shopping bag WYB 2 General Mills products printable
-Free Seasoning WYB 2 Old El Paso products (only one peelie)

Final Price: $5

So if you are keeping track we mentioned that we received 6 Publix shopping bags. We did get the last one for free, do you see it?

We bought the Taco Seasoning and the extra Hamburger Helper which are both General Mills products so we were able to use another Free shopping bag WYB 2 General Mills coupon.

We were able to use a total of 3 $5 off $25 CVS coupons, bringing our total for all this for $14.07.

Laundry Stockpiling at $2.55

Frances | September 29, 2009

img_7604

We have two cards in our household so we are able to double our savings at CVS.

Yesterday we explained a simple CVS deal using $10 in ECBs from the P&G offer (Buy $25 in P&G products and get $10 ECBs). Here is the example of the deal:

2 Charmin Big Rolls 16 pack $10
-Used 2 $.25 coupon 9/20 SS
5 Dawn $1
-Used 5 $.50 coupon 8/30 $ 9/27 P&G
-$5 off $25 CVS quiz

Out of Pocket $17 (before tax)
Received $10 ECBs

We walked out of the store yesterday because we wanted to keep the ECBs to show you the breakdown. We went back to CVS today and “it” happens to all of us. You have your list, all your coupons and once you get to the store you find that the store is out of what you are looking for. Lucky for us we carry our trusted Frugal Fairhope print out of the CVS 9/27 Deals and our coupon binder so we could figure out another alternative deal while we are at the store.

Come to find out, the way we worked it today actually works out better for us because our stockpile of laundry and bath tissue was running low.  In the past we have purchased bath tissue from Sam’s Club but, since we last updated this stockpile we canceled our membership because we can find better deals than Sam’s by shopping the sales.

The above photo includes all the products we have purchased for the P&G offer of $10 ECBs WYB $25. Remember that we used two cards and four transactions to buy everything you see here.

Here is the breakdown:

4 Charmin Big Rolls 16 pack $10
-Used 3 $.25 coupon 9/20 SS
-Used $1 coupon from P&G mailer
5 Dawn $1
-Used 5 $.50 coupon 8/30 $ 9/27 P&G
-Used 2 $5 off $25 CVS quiz
5 Tide Liquid $6
-Used 5 $1 coupon 8/30 P&G
-Used 2 $10 ECBs

Final Price: $35.75 or $2.55 for each bottle and package of Charmin

The last time we bought Charmin from Sam’s Club we paid $18.32 for 854 sq ft. This is $.02 a square foot or $.51 a roll. Today we purchased ours at $.01 a square foot or $.16 a roll. Would you agree that it was a good decision to cancel our Sam’s Club membership?
