What You Can Get For Free Starting This Sun. Feb. 26th

I've been wanting to blog for the past two days and hadn't been able to come up with anything. I just went on www.southernsavers.com and looked at the drugstore ad previews next week and found a few freebies I wanted to let you know about. Also Harris Teeter has at least 1 freebie this week too. There may be other freebies after reward bucks etc. at the drugstores but this is what jumped out at me as being completely free upfront.

In the coupon insert this sunday there will be a .75/1 any colgate toothpaste coupon. 6oz colgate is on sale this week at Harris Teeter for $1.50. So after the coupon doubles it will make it free. I'm all about free toothpaste deals :))

The next deal is for the UP2U single pack gum. The $1 coupon was in the Feb. 5 SS. It's on sale at both CVS and Rite Aid next week. Check with your CVS store our local store here starts honoring next week's ad at 4pm on sat. so you can get this week's and next week's deals at the same time.

At CVS it's .99 My store is really good about adjusting down coupons. If your store isn't, you might want to do the deal at Rite Aid. They're on sale there for $1. You will only have to pay tax.

Paid $2.02 for 5 Packs of Stayfree

I loved the Stayfree sale at Rite Aid this week. Buy 1 pack of Stayfree for $3 get $2 UP back. I had several of the $1/1 coupons as well as the buy 1 get 1 free coupons.

Transaction 1

used 1 $1/1 coupon
$2 UP

paid only .20 tax and received $2 UP

Transaction 2

2 stayfree 24ct. $3 each

plus $4 UP from previous transaction

Saved approx. $18 on all these femine products. The pads are regularly $3.99.

I'm not keeping any of these for myself. I'm donating all these to our church's Team Kenya who will be going to Kenya this summer. Feminine products are something that are in great need of over there.

Harris Teeter and Rite Aid Bargins I Couldn't Resist

After 2 transactions at Harris Teeter and 1 trip to Rite Aid yesterday I was very happy with how much I've already saved this week.

HT trip #1: 2 starkist tuna pouches= free paid .2 tax, saved $3.50

HT trip #2: 3 starkist tuna pouches, 1 eat. think. smile nutrition bar, 1 jar of wolfgang puck pasta sauce= .6 tax. I also got another .75 coupon off my next shopping order coupon.

Rite Aid: 3 packs of Mentos UP2U gum, 1 hershey's bar, and 1 hershey's air delight bar= .48 including tax. I also got a $1 UP reward which is a coupon off my next order

Everything in all 3 trips was free except 1 hershey's bar after sales and coupons.

Rite Aid Savings

Today I went to Rite Aid and got some free stuff and more great deals. The small bottles of Gain dish soap are on sale this week for .89. There was a coupon in the inserts last week for $1/1 gain dish liquid. All the Maybelline cosmetics are 40% off. I also had a $1/1 maybelline coupon. I got 25 digital prints developed for $2.49. There was a in-ad coupon in the paper for the digital prints. That's less than .10 a print which is a great deal.
The mascara was regularly $5.19 and on sale for $3.11. Minus my $1 coupon I paid $2.11 for it. The 3 bottles of gain were free after the coupons. So after all coupons I paid only $5.24 for 3 gain, 1 maybelline mascara, and 25 digital prints.

How To Shop Rie Aid

Ok, here's the post that was promised on how to get the best deals at Rite Aid and pay the least amount possible.

Rite Aid has a video values program. By going on Rite Aid's website you can watch video clips about different products they sale. The videos are approx. 30 seconds- 2 min. each. After you watch a video all you have to do is enter the security code that's given. You can chose which videos you watch by category, brand, etc. Each video will give you a coupon for that product or similar product by that brand. Each video is worth 1-2 credits. When you watch enough videos and earn 20 credits you can print a $5 off $20 coupon. You can chose which coupons you want to print. They're stored in your account so you can go back later and print the ones you haven't previously printed.

The great thing about these coupons is that you can use them with manuf. coupons and in ad coupons. Therefore you can use up to 3 coupons on one item! Paired with sales this could give you some really cheap stuff! I used a video value coupon today with a manuf. coupon and got Johnson and Johnson Baby Lotion on clearance for .41! Don't forget to check the clearance racks.

Rite Aid has recently started a Welness Program. This is similar to CVS extra care program. You sign up for a card, have it scanned every time you make a purchase. You earn 1 point for every $ spent on non perscription purchases, 25 points on pharmancy. When you get so many points you get extra savings off everything you buy every day etc. They also send you printable coupons too.

Happy shopping at Rite Aid!
