FREE Fekkai Shampoo at Saks Fifth Avenue

Okay..I admit.  I’ve actually used this shampoo (when I had my $100k salary/career) and it’s incredible.  Seriously…it’s some of the best shampoo you can buy.  It’s $23 for an 8 oz. bottle, and you can get it FOR FREE one day only at Saks Fifth Avenue.

There’s a trick….it’s only on September 17th, so put it on your calendar.  You MUST TAKE a bottle of shampoo to trade for it.   (I’m sure that if you follow my posts, you have quite a few that I’ve instructed you to get for FREE.)  I couldn’t find the info. on the Fekkai site, but I did find the ad in the September issue of Elle Magazine.  I bought the magazine, just to make sure before I wrote this post. 

Now…I will twitter about it a few days ahead of time, and also remind you ON the 17th, but make a note of it.  It’s worth the trip to the mall for this one…

Coupons + Box Top Promotion at Albertsons = under $1.00

Okay…so this is NOT a freebie post, but it’s close!!  All of these deals are under $1.00 in this sale.  I spent $26.80 and saved a whopping $102.00 at Albertsons yesterday.  Anything with a Box Top attached to it is on SUPER, MEGA SALE, at Albertsons.  I’m assuming that Jewel and Albertson’s other chains has this going on as well, but check your store before gearing up.

In last Sunday’s paper, there was an insert by General Mills pushing their Box Top Promotion.  In addition, several schools are having a contest for prizes.  If you have your internet coupons from the last 3-4 weeks, you’ll have over 30 coupons to use in one, single transaction.  Here are locations for internet coupons.  http://www.coupons.com, http://www.smartsource.com, http://www.bettycrocker.com,  http://www.boxtops4education.com,  http://www.clickmycoupon.com,   http://www.pillsbury.com,  and  www.cellfire.com.   In addition, last week, (Week F/Week 32), you’ll find at least one coupon on everything below!!!!.

Hamburger Helper- On sale for $0.79/box.  Smartsource internet coupon in Week E (Week 31) for $1.75 off three boxes.  You pay $0.29/box. 
Chex Mix  All flavors, including the “Select” which is the chocolate coated are on sale for $0.79.  There are about 10 coupons located in Week E (Week 31) spread across the sources above for $0.50.   You pay $0.29/bag.
Suddenly Salad– Also on sale for $0.79 each.  There are 3 internet coupons from Week E (Week 31) for $0.40 each.  You pay $0.39/box.

Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters-On sale for $1.49 per bag.  Again, 5-6 internet coupons over the past 2-3 weeks.  Coupons are for $1.00, bringing each bag down to only $0.49!  These are actually healthy, as well.

Trix Cereal-On sale for $1.49 as well.  There are, again, 4-6 internet coupons over the last 5 weeks for $0.55 off one box.  This brings your price down to $0.99 each!

This is a classic Coupon Stacking situation.  Use the coupon with the sale!!   Like I said, I walked out of Albertson’s saving over $100 in one transaction, and had close to 200 Box Tops for my kid’s school.  I can either donate some of the food, or start my winter stock-up!    

Happy Shopping!  ~CouponCathy~ www.shopsensibly.com

Air Wick Freshmatic Ultra I-Motion  Could they add ANY more words to the title of this product?  With all the new air fresheners out there, I was thoroughly confused, at first, as I don’t normally buy these…but since it’s FREE this week, I thought I would try it.  CVS has these on sale this week for $5.99.  Stack the coupon from Week F–this past Sunday, which is Week #32) of the SmartSource Insert for $6.00, and get it this week for FREE!!

Revlon Color Stay Mineral Mousse– I could easily match my skin color to this, so it’s GREAT!  Not only do I like the “weight” of it on my skin, but it’s got SPF in it as well!  These are on sale for $9.99, but you get a $9.99 ExtraBuck back at the bottom of your receipt for next time.  Stack the coupon from Week C (Week #29) for $1.00, and you come out ahead!  I thought it was worth a try and I’ll actually buy this again!!

Snickers, Mars, Twix, Dove… FREE Chocolate Fridays!

Don’t forget to go get your FREE Chocolate from M&M Mars today!!  The Chocolate Relief Act rocks.

Go to:     https://secure.realchocolate.com/   

Go EVERY Friday to sign up for a coupon for free chocolate!  Coupons will start arriving in the mail, and they are good on any of the following candy bars:  Mars, M&M’s, Snickers, 3 Musketeers, Twix, Milky Way, or Dove.

Quaker Granola Bars for $.99, FREE Colgate & Dannon at Safeway!

I know some of you are sure glad that I’m FINALLY getting to the grocery store posts, right?  Well, here goes this great coupon stacking transaction! 
Safeway (which is also Dominick’s and Von’s to some of you), has placed an insert in this past Sunday paper with Safeway store coupons.  You must buy $20 worth of groceries to get these deals after they scan your card, SO MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO NOT PRESENT ANY COUPONS TO THE CASHIER UNTIL THEY SUBTOTAL YOUR TRANSACTION.  Once they subtotal, then present the Safeway Insert Coupons…then give them your manufacturer’s coupons–in that order.   Most stores won’t be picky, but play it safe, and play it right, so they help you in the future!!

Colgate MaxWhite or MaxFresh – This is on sale for $0.99 each.  Coupon is in Week D (Week 30) of the RedPlum insert for $0.75.  Safeway doubles coupons up to $1.00, so this is FREE.
Dannon Danimals Crush Cups Yogurt – These are on sale for $0.50 each.  Coupon for $1.00 is located in Week D (Week 30) of the Redplum insert making these FREE–and putting $0.50 toward another product.  I only found the 4-packs in my store, which are on sale for $2.50, however.  Using the $1.00 brings them down to $1.50 for 4, which is still a great deal…but I couldn’t find the 6 oz “individuals” in my Safeway, (which makes it free), so let me know if you find them!!  My friend Shawn says they are out there!
So…to get to your $20, you need a few more deals…

Quaker Chewy Granola Bars – You can get one box of these for $0.99 with the Safeway paper coupon.  If you haven’t already used the coupon in Week Y of the Redplum Insert for $0.75 off 2 boxes, stack this.  They are on sale for $2.50/box.  So $3.50-$0.75=$2.75 for two boxes, which is still a deal.
Kellogg’s Pop Tarts- Use the Safeway Newspaper Coupon to get one box of these for $0.99.  If you followed my other post, you got these for FREE with the Kellogg’s, Keebler & Walgreen’s promo!!
Pillsbury Cookie Dough –  Safeway Newspaper Coupon is for $1.99.  Stack Internet Coupon in Week E (this week) at http://www.coupons.com for $0.55 off, and only pay $1.49.
Skippy Peanut Butter – Use the Safeway Newspaper Coupon for $1.49.
Chef Boyardee Canned Pasta- Use Safeway Newspaper Coupon, which is 4 cans for $3.00.  Stack coupon in Week E of the SmartSource Insert for $0.35 off 3 cans, (which will double to $0.70) bringing this to 4 cans for $2.30, which is $0.57 per can!
Dixie Paper Plates – With Safeway’s Newspaper Coupon, these are $2.99..stack coupon way back from Week S (Week 19) for $0.50…coupon will double up to $1.00, getting these for $1.99.
Mission Tortillas- Use the Safeway Newspaper Coupon for $0.99.  This is a great deal, and manufacturer’s coupons are pretty rare for these!

This should get you to your $20.00 minimum before your coupons….but if not, there are several other Newspaper Coupons to get you there.  Hopefully you enjoyed this coupon stacking this round!  Happy Stacking and Happy Shopping!  ~CouponCathy~ www.shopsensibly.com
