Check for Coupons

Do you have a Kraft First Taste account or a Loreal Paris membership?  If so, you should log in to see what coupons and offers you have. 

I haven't logged into my First Taste account in a while and had several offers.  Tip: When you click on an offer from your homepage and it goes to a screen for you to forward the offer to friends, click the "My Homepage" button at the top of the page.  You should see an offer for the same product again, but when you click it, this time you will be able to print a coupon.

If you don't have a membership, be sure to sign up.  You'll get some coupons or offers right away, but even more as you continue your membership.

I'll add this to my calendar.  Be sure to check it regularly for free events and activities.

New Pull Ups $2 Coupon & Potty Training DVD

Walgreens $5 Deal Week of 7/18

This is a repost of Jeri's post @ CouponSTL.  Thanks for letting me repost this every week.

The most cost effective way to shop at Walgreens is to roll your Register Rewards from week to week.

If you are following my weekly Walgreens $5 Scenarios, you have no Register Reward from last week to start with. But, there are a couple of little money-makers this week to start building your Register Rewards again.

Check out all of this week's Walgreens deals HERE.

Transaction #1purchase:
(1) Colgate Total Advanced Toothpaste $3.49
(1) Pilot G2 Pen $1.19
use:
(1) Colgate coupon (7/11/10 SS) - $1.00
(1) Pilot printable coupon -$1.00
Walgreens coupon in July coupon book for Pilot G2 Pens -$1.00
= $1.68 + tax out of pocket and Receive a $3.50 Colgate-Palmolive Register Reward

Note: You should be able to use both a manufacturer and Walgreens coupon for the Pilot Pens. If you have the cashier ring the manufacturer coupon first, you will end up will a small amount of overage. Some Walgreens will not ring up the coupons in this order.

Transaction #2Repeat the 1st transaction
Now you will have (2) $3.50 Colgate-Palmolive Register Rewards

Note: You need to separate the Colgate purchases. Only one Register Reward per offer will print per transaction.

Transaction #3purchase:(1) Gillette Fusion ProGlide Razor $9.89
(2) Dawn Dish Liquid @ $2.29 each = $4.58
(2) Penway 2-pocket folders @$0.09 each = $0.18 (needed as filler to use your Register Rewards)

(2) .25 Dawn coupons (6/6/10 P&G or 7/4/10 P&G) -$0.50
Walgreens in-ad .99 Dawn coupon -$2.60
(2) $3.50 Colgate-Palmolive Register Rewards from previous transactions -$7.00

Couponing: The Easiest "Trick" aka Stores' best kept secret

A number of stores, Target, Walgreens, CVS, Family Dollar and Dollar General offer what are known as "store coupons."  You've seen these.  Next to the expiration date where it normally says "Manufacturer Coupon" they'll simply say "Store Coupon" or "Target Coupon" etc. 

The big secret?

You can use these coupons with a Manufacturer Coupon to increase your savings!

This is how many couponers score free or extremely cheap merchandise at many of these retailers.  So, if you don't want to worry about how to roll Register Rewards or Extra Care Bucks, keep this trick in you're back pocket and you'll still be shelling out a lot less.

This doesn't guarantee that every store offering Store Coupons allows you to combine them with Manufacturer Coupons.  You should check with that store first, but those I've listed DO allow this at this time.

No Free Smoothies at McD's :(

I just heard about this yesterday and didn't have a chance to post it before they decided to cancel this event.  :(  I wanted to pass along news of the cancellation just in case you'd heard about it elsewhere.

Bummer!
