You're in luck because Petco has a silly, but fun little game on their Facebook page here.

Play the game, and at the end you'll be prompted for your Pals Rewards number. Enter it and a $5 credit will be applied to your card in the next 7 days.

Thanks,

Using Points for Christmas Shopping? Now's the Time to Order.

I remember one Christmas my mom used green stamps (remember those?) to get all our Christmas presents. Genius!

If you've been racking up rewards points, there are a few ways to use them to get extra mileage when Christmas shopping.
1) You could order an actual gift from the rewards catalog, like the bumble bee shaped flashlight I just ordered for my little one.
2) You could order a gift card to give as a gift.
3) You could order a magazine subscription as a gift.
4) You could order a gift card that you use to do your Christmas shopping.

However you slice it, getting those rewards can take as much as 6-8 weeks! So, now's the time to order because the 8 week mark puts the calendar near Thanksgiving (yikes!). Putting off an order will leave you with no time to try to resolve any issues if things don't arrive in 6-8 weeks. And if you're planning to shop with your gift card, you want to get it in enough time to hunt up the best deals, and Black Friday.

The one exception to all this being a gift magazine subscription. Order those in mid-October so issues don't start arriving before the holidays. Your gift might start arriving with the December issue, but more likely, with the January one.

Remember the Herbal Essense Facebook Coupon???

Mine just came today, and I almost missed it because my mailbox was full of junk and this almost got lost in the mix.

If you are expecting one...
Be looking for a postcard with 2 coupons - the coupon for a freebie, plus a $1.00/1 coupon.

FREE CFL Light Bulbs at Ace Hardware

Ace Hardware has GE Energy Smart CFL light bulb singles on sale for $1.00.  Use the $1/1 coupon from the 1/9 SS insert and it makes them free.

Beware, even though Missouri tax code states you don't pay sales tax on coupons, the store I went to DID charge sales tax. I wasn't up to explaining Missouri sales tax laws, so I just paid it. Since Ace stores are independently franchised, you may or may not have the same experience.

Double My Coke Rewards Points

If you've got Reward Codes from Coca-Cola products and you been putting off entering them... DO IT TODAY!

I've never seen Coke offer double points, so take advantage if you can.

PINK Puppies are at VS - Free with ANY Pink Purchase

If you're a fan of those cute little puppies Victoria's Secret gives away only a few times a year, be sure to hurry down to Victorias Secret because they are in. 

Get one FREE with ANY pink purchase, so look for something in the Semi Annual Sale bins. I got a set of PINK pajamas (top & bottoms) for only $9.99 PLUS the free PINK puppy. I also spied some PINK panties for only $2.99 which qualify. Clearance PINK beauty would also qualify and would make a nice valentine.

Be sure to get to Victorias Secret ASAP if you want one. These things go QUICK!

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.


View Walmart's weekly ad here.
View Walmart's coupon policy here.
View Walmart's price match policy here.

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.
