Fry’s – FREE Sunny D Smoothie, Crest Toothpaste, and Oral B Toothbrush

Sorry for the late notice on this one…I was in Canada last week on Holiday, cooling off a bit from the Phoenix heat.  I just got back from Fry’s and got an amazing deal.  They are still having the 10 Item Mega Event….and I was able to get quite  few things for free outside of the event as well.  This 10 Item Mega Event only runs through tomorrow night, (as the new ad kicks in on Wednesday)….so hurry and pick this stuff up!

Sunny D Smoothie Punch – When you buy 10 of the promo items, this is only $0.89.  The coupon is for $0.55–which doubles up to $1.00.  It’s located in Week V (Week 22) of the SmartSource Insert.  There are also two more coupons…both are located in the “All You” Magazine, Weeks T and Z (Weeks 20 and 26 respectively).  Pick up one…or three!
Yoplait Fiber One Yogurt– This one is a tricky freebie.  These are on also sale with the 10 Item Mega Event for $1.99.  There is currently a coupon on Clikfire.com for $1.00 when you load it to your Fry’s card.  There is also a coupon in Week B (Week 28) of the SmartSource Insert for $1.00..making this FREE. 
****There are also SEVERAL internet coupons for this item during Week B as well…I believe they came from coupons.com.  You can only use the Clikfire coupon stacked on top of the manufacturer’s coupon once…but paying only $0.99 cents for additional yogurt 4-packs is still a great deal if you have the internet coupons!
Crest Cavity Fighting Toothpaste – These are on sale for $1.00…they are NOT a part of the 10 item mega event.  However, they are still free when you use Coupons from Weeks W and A (Weeks 22 and 27) of the Proctor and Gamble Inserts.  Coup’s are worth $0.75 and $0.50….doubling up to $1.00 making these FREE.
Oral B Indicator Toothbrush – These are on sale for $1.00 as well…they are NOT a part of the 10 Item Mega Event either, but they are still FREE.  Coupon IS for $1.00 is in Week A (Week 27) of the P&G Insert.

If you’re searching for a few cheap extras that will get you to your 10 items, consider these:

Quaker Quakes- The price is only $0.49 when you put them towards your 10 items.  No coupon, but other than free, these are as cheap as they come.  The caramel flavor is absolutely OUTSTANDING, and my second favorite is the Apple/Cinnamon. 
Arrowhead Water – Gallon– The price is only $0.49 as well..no coupon, but for a gallon of Arrowhead Spring Water, this is the cheapest I’ve ever seen it!!
Kraft or Sargento Shredded Cheese –  The 10 item mega price is only $1.39.  Choose from Mozzarella, Chedder or Blends…great deal on these too.

Well..hopefully you can get there tomorrow, 7/29.  Happy Shopping, and don’t forget to take our Sizzlin’ Summer Survey for a chance to win a $100 Restaurant.com Dining Certificate.  Here’s the link:  Cathy’s Survey Link to the Sizzlin’ Summer Survey Giveaway!!

Right now, you can practically walk out of Fry’s with an entire cart full of free stuff– I did.  Not only are the previous blog entries still current (Quaker Quakes, Angelsoft, Brut, & McCormick), but now we can add Challenge Whipped Butter and Tobasco to the list!

Challenge Whipped Butter:  Fry’s has these on sale for $1.00 each.  There are 3 internet coupons out there, that I know about..they are at coupons.com in weeks K, L, & N.  (Weeks 11, 12, & 14).  All are either $0.50 or $.55 each, and doubled…round up to $1.00, so you can get all 3 for FREE.  There isn’t tax on butter either, so I walked out paying ZERO.

Tobasco:  Fry’s has it at $1.00.  This past Sunday’s SmartSource insert (Week Q), has a coupon for $0.50.  When doubled, it’s $1.00 and it’s free.
