Rent a Redbox DVD... Get a Free Night's Rental

Redbox reached 1 Billion (holy cow!) rentals and is celebrating by giving everyone a free rental.  After you rent a Redbox DVD go to Thanks a Billion, register (different than your redbox registration) and enter your DVD code to get a free rental code! 

There is only one free rental per customer, but there are prize giveaways so be sure to enter all your Redbox DVD codes for multiple entries.

Got 2b Facebook Coupon

Angie at Short On Cents turned me on to this super coupon... visit Got 2b's facebook page to print a $2.00/1 coupon. 

Angie checked the price for these at Target and found they start at about $3.50, making them $1.50 after the coupon.  I saw these on BOGO sale at Walgreens a few weeks ago, so I'll probably hold on to my coupons to see if that sale comes around again soon (it would make 2 free!!!)

I made a mistake... or an explanation for my absence

You may have noticed, I've been virtually absent from this blog for the last week or two.  I can explain...

A friend talked up Hulu to my husband and I made the mistake of bookmarking it for him. This means I can hardly ever grab any computer time while he catches up on seasons of shows!!!

If you're not familiar with Hulu, its currently* a free video service with an amazing library of television shows and movies you can watch on your computer over a streaming internet connection.  We have the slowest connection offered by our cable provider with a 54 Mbps wireless router and have absolutely no problems with the stream. I highly recommend checking it out.

*I've heard a nasty rumor that this will soon become a subscription based service, but if it does I lobby that the commercials should be cut!!!

Olay Regenerist Cream Cleanser or Cleansing Cloths for $0.97! ...and Possible Money Maker!!!

Remember the "Thanks, Mom" P&G coupon book for mailing in reciepts for $50 in P&G products...?

A coupon from that book makes Olay Regenerist 30ct Cleansing Cloths or 5oz Cream Cleanser only $0.97!!!





Here's how:
Walmart has 30ct Regenerist Cleansing Cloths and 5oz Cream Cleanser for $5.97.
In that book are (3) $5.00/1 Olay Regenerist FC/FM coupons
(I assume FC/FM means Facial Cleanser/Facial Moisturizer)
final price: $0.97 each!!!

Note: I tried this on the cleansing cloths and the coupons scanned with no trouble.

Here's how to turn it into a money maker:
These qualify for the $10 when you buy $30 of Olay, Venus, Covergirl, Secret or Pantene products Mail-In Rebate. You'll need about $12 more to get to $30, but if you took advantage of Walgreen's Secret Deodorant clearance deal a few weeks ago, but weren't quite to the $30 point, these can get you there... making this a Money Maker! 

If you're not taking advantage of the Mail-In Rebate, you can hang on to the receipt and submit it toward the new coupon book for mailing in $50 in P&G receipts.  See a list of coupons in the new book here, by clicking "view coupon book values."
