Don't Forget About Origin's Recycling Program

I've posted this before, but wanted to bring it up again. If you take your empty cosmetic bottles (any brand) to any Origin's counter, they'll give you a free sample of their products.

If you're a MAC cosmetic user, take them back to the MAC counter or MAC store for full size freebies.

Walmart Matchups Week of 10/10

Much of Walmart's policies are at the discretion of the store  manager. Here is a summary of what the corporate policy allows, but  you'll have to check with your store.

Walmart will  price match other stores' ads, and you can use a coupon on an item that  has been price matched. Walmart accepts all valid coupons, including  coupons from other stores, but only one coupon per item - stacking of  store coupons and manufacturer coupons is not allowed. Note: I've yet to find a Walmart that actually does accept other store coupons, so I no longer list them in my matchups.

Remember: Walmart rollbacks often last longer than the dates of your local ad, so be sure to look back at previous weeks matchups here. Anything marked with an * is labeled a "One Time Offer" in the ad.
