Free Razors at CVS!

<p>This week I combined a ton of coupons to get these 4 packs of razors for free!</p>
<p>They retail for $8.29, and there is a promotion this week to get $10 in rewards when you spend $30. I bought 4, and used the following: 20% off, $4 off $20 purchase, and 2 buy one get one free coupons. That came to just over $9 for all 4 packs!  Sweet! I then used rewards to pay the balance, and earned back $10.

I also got these 2 hand creams free with a coupon from the CVS Facebook page. I love coupons for straight up free stuff- no need to wait for a sale!

I am setting aside one pack of razors and one hand cream for the One Voice project, and the rest are off to Upward Bound House:)

Hair care freebies at CVS

Last week I got 2 great coupons from the coupon machine. One was for $1 off any shampoo, conditioner or styler, and the other was for $1.50 off the same. I bought one V05 shampoo at regular price $1.19, and one conditioner on clearance for $.89. They were both free!

I'm glad I kept that coupon!

Months ago I printed a few copies of a great high value coupon for $5 off Samy hair color. I had one left over that expired today, and it was perfect to match up with the sale at Rite Aid this week! They are no longer available to print so I was glad I hung onto this one.

Samy hair color is on sale for $8.99. I used the coupon and my total was $3.99, and I earned back $5 in rewards.

I also bought 2 Right Guard deodorant. They are on sale for $2.99 each, and I had a $3/2 coupon. So my total was $2.98 and I earned back $1 each in rewards.

I used the rewards I got last week buying hair gel and laundry soap, and all three items were free. One deodorant is going to One Voice, and the others to UBH. Good week so far!

New partnership for the holidays!

This week I am dividing my coupon hauls between 2 organizations. Freebies will still benefit UBH, but I am also collecting goods for One Voice. My husband's office is sponsoring 4 poverty level families, providing supplies, toys and cash for rent. I have agreed to make bags of personal supplies from my couponing this week and next and from my personal stockpile. I'll post pictures of the bags before they go out. Each one will be personalized depending on the ages and genders of the family members.

I am so excited to work on this project and compile meaningful kits for these families!

If you have anything you would like to donate or would like more information please let me know!

56 items so far!!

I just updated my spreadsheet and I am at 56 out of 100 items toward the goal!  I have only got 5 weeks until Christmas, so I better get working:)  Looks like there will be some good freebies next week, and I am hoping with the Holidays around the corner that the stores will run great promos to get customers in the door!

The total retail price for these 56 items is $260.80.  Pretty awesome amount of freebies:)

Better than free hair gel at Rite Aid!

I have been so busy with Black Friday shopping that I just today made it to Rite Aid for this deal.

This gel was on sale for $1.99, and is a good example of double dip rewards!  It was printing a $1.99 weekly reward, and a $1 monthly reward for each one!  So I spent $1.99 and earned back $2.99.  Pretty good!  I bought these along with some laundry soap using rewards, so they were free and going in the donation pile!

Toys on sale at CVS!

I couldn't believe the toy deals at CVS this week. I was expecting they would just have cheap, overpriced stuff, but check out this one deal:
Thursday night I stood in line at Toys R Us for the doorbusters. One of the toys on my list was a walking Iron Man robot toy. My son specifically asked for a red robot. It was advertised at $9.99, which was half price. I bought 2, one for my son and one for his friend.
Later, I went to CVS and discovered they had the same toy in their buy one get one free toy sale. But, guess how much? Only $9.99!. I was also able to use rewards to pay, so I got both completely free. I will definitely be returning the 2 from Toys R Us!!
I also got this cool Hot.Wheels toy for UBH. I bought a Crayola item and got this for free too.
My black Friday shop at CVS brought home $130 worth of goods, and I only spent $.50! I also made back $19.15 in rewards. My Christmas shopping is done!!!

Brushes and floss for free!

I snagged this double toothbrush pack and 2 90 count flossers for free this week at CVS. They all generated an equal value reward (i.e. if it cost $2 you get $2 back). I used rewards to pay and got these free without lowering my reward count!

Children's Advil Moneymaker at CVS

I can't donate this to UBH, but I wanted to share the great deal I got!

The 1oz Children's Advil was on sale for $2.37 each, and generating a full value $2.37 reward.  I was excited to go in using my $1.50 facebook coupon and make money on the reward side.  When I scanned my card at the machine this week in store I also got a $3 off any Children's Advil!!  CVS would price adjust the coupons down because they don't allow overage, so I decided to buy 2.

My cost before coupons was $4.74, and I had $4.50 in coupons, so I paid $.24 for both and make back $2.37 (limit 1 on the reward).

The best part is they don't expire until 2015, so they are a great addition to my stockpile!!

CVS rocks this week!

CVS is having an amazing "free after rewards" promotion this week.  There are tons of items that are generating a full value reward, so if you can use a coupon it makes the items better than free.  A few examples are Starbucks and Coke drinks, Advil and Children's Advil, Hot Wheels, Kleenex pocket packs, and tons more.  I got a bunch of great deals, but these are the 5 items I am adding to the donation pile:

Carmex lip products are on sale for $.99 and generating a $.99 reward.  I also used a $.30 coupon.

Visine was on sale almost half price for $5.50.  I used a $4 CVS coupon and a $3 manufacturer coupon, which was price adjusted to make it free.  I also got $1.50 in rewards.

Right Guard deodorant was on sale $2.99 each.  I bought 2 and used a $2/2 coupon, so my cost was $3.98.  I also got back $2 in rewards for each one.

U by Kotex were on sale for $1.49, and I got back $1 in rewards.

I used some of my rewards from last week to cover the out of pocket on this, so everything was free and I made back about $7.50 in rewards.  I also bought one additional deodorant on another transaction to bring my total up so I could use my reward, so that makes 6 items from this trip toward the 100 item goal.

Free Dove Body Wash at Vons!

It is rare to get personal care items free at the grocery store, but this week I scored these awesome freebies!

Dove body wash was on sale for only $2.49 each when you buy 2.  I used one $2/1 internet coupon, and one $2/1 Just 4 You Vons electronic coupon, so my total was only $1.  I also had a $2 catalina coupon off my purchase, so $1 of that was applied to this purchase, making them free:)

Free Enfagrow!

Today I made a trip to Rite Aid for another free Enfagrow 4 pack.  I hope the toddler population at UBH likes these drinks - I have donated a total of 14 of these already, and they were all free:)

This week I received a coupon donation for $7 off any Enfagrow toddler drink.  Not all stores carry this item, but my local Rite Aid has them priced at $6.99.  Another great freebie!!

Baby Love Body Spray

Rite is having a great fragrance promotion this week - buy any fragrance and get $5 in rewards. These body spray were only $5.50 each, so I bought 2, used $11 in rewards and paid only tax. Also, I got back $10 in rewards.

These kinds of deals are great for rolling rewards. I had a few expiring this week, so with this purchase I was able to get something to donate and extend my rewards for 2 more weeks:)

Free Razors with BOGO coupons

At the beginning of this week I was so happy to see a deal on Schick razors at CVS because my BOGO coupons were about to expire, and I love BOGO deals!!

CVS was offering a $10 reward if you spent $25 on brands including Schick.  These razors were $9.79, so I picked up 4 and used the BOGO coupons to get 2 free.  I paid for the other 2 using some of those amazing Revlon rewards from last week, and got my $10 back too.  I did have to pay more than tax out of pocket, so the other 2 packs were not technically free.  But these 2 are going straight into the donation pile!

4 Free Dry Idea Deodorant at CVS

I got a great deal on these deodorants this week! They were on sale buy one get one free, and the price was $4.29. I bought 4 so my cost was $8.58.

I used 2 $3/2 manufacturer coupons, one $1.50/$4 or more deodorant purchase from the coupon machine, and 1 $1/1 CVS coupon printed from the website.  Luckily at CVS you can stack a manufacturer coupon and store coupon, so I got a total of $8.50 off!!

The remaining $.08 I would count as free anyway, but it was actually on my bill with some other items and I used rewards.  Awesome deal:)

4 Free Revlon Nail File 24 packs!

This was my last couponing trip for the week - 4 free 24 packs of nail files at CVS!

After the awesome deal I got this week on clippers, I was looking for stock at other stores to see if I could repeat it.  All Revlon cosmetics and tools are generating a $7 reward when you buy 2, so of course everyone was looking to buy to cheapest items for the deal, which are the clippers.  But these packs of files are priced at $3.79, so they made for a good deal too. Check it out:

I bought 4 at $3.79, so my total was $15.16.  I had a $15 from the awesome Aveeno deal from this week as well.  I spent $.16 plus tax (I am counting these as free - I pulled $.16 out of my car armrest:).  And, I made back $14 in rewards.

I also scored some great Halloween stuff this week at 50% off.  I bought a great costume for my kids' dress up bin and some candy to use for stocking stuffers.  Great week at CVS!

Free Colgate at Rite Aid

Today I picked up 3 Colgate toothpaste for the freebie pile! They were on sale for $3.50, and I used $.75 coupons. They also generated $3 each in rewards. I bought these and a razor for my hubby's Xmas stocking, and paid entirely with rewards. I will post a summary shot soon to show all the freebies toward the 100 goal this week:)

Free Advil PM at Walgreens!

You can pick up the 4 count boxes of Advil PM free this week at Walgreens!  They are on sale for $1 and there was a coupon in this past Sunday paper for $1 off any Advil PM.  Yay!  I can't donate these items, but a great time to stock up:)
