Okay, for those who have wondered why I haven’t posted a lot of new entries in a while..well…there just wasn’t many free things in the last few weeks.  However, Walgreen’s is seeming to make up for it this week.  I’m sure I’ll update this post again in a day or two, once I visit the store, but I wanted to get this on here TODAY for those of you who do their Walgreens and CVS run on Sundays, like me!   Here we go….

Organix Shampoo – Currently they are on sale for $6.99, and when you buy one, you get one FREE (BOGO).  In addition, there is a handtag, mail-in rebate on the bottle, where they will refund the one that you purchased!  It will only cost you the stamp, therefore getting BOTH of these bottles of shampoo for FREE.

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!!!!.

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.

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!

CVS – FREE Air Wick, Bayer Contour, Revlon, Bic Razor, Sharpie Highlighters

Hey there…CVS has a few good deals this week! 

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!!

Walgreen’s – Free Bayer Contour and Breeze 2 Monitors

Well, Walgreen’s hasn’t had too much for free lately since they did away with their rebate program a few months ago.  I haven’t heard anything new coming out to replace the program anytime soon, either, which is disappointing.  

And–with it being “end of the month”–we’re probably lucky to get the monitors.  As you all know, being able to donate diabetes monitors to those in need is one of my biggest passions….and it hasn’t stopped.  I’ve found a new non-profit to donate the monitors to…and I’m thrilled to be working with them.  Two weeks ago, I was able to take a tour of this worthy cause, and actually SEE these monitors land right into the hands of those who need them.  Mission of Mercy (http://www.amissionofmercy.org) is a 501 (c)3 here in Phoenix that provides free medical care to anyone who needs it….  No questions asked.  They take absolutely NO funding from the U.S. Government either, so they have complete control over where the money needs to go….a LOT of it goes into Diabetes Medication for those they serve.  Check them out at the link above, and you’ll see why I’m so jazzed about being able to help them out. 

Bayer Contour or Bayer Breeze 2 Diabetes Monitors – This week, Walgreen’s has these on sale for $14.99.  There are TWO ways you can get them for free….First:  Our Sunday paper coupon inserts have coupons that are good for a price of up to $30.00, thus being able to get them for FREE.  Coupon locations are:  Week E (Week 5 RedPlum Insert), Week L (Week 12, SmartSource Insert), and  Week Q (Week 17, RedPlum Insert).
***If you don’t get the Sunday paper (or have used all your coupons), there are rebates in the box that can simply be mailed in for a 100% refund…how awesome is that?  Folks around Phoenix have sent me close to 50 coupons, so I’ll be spending my week getting as many as I can, as the coupons expire on the 31st.

Oh..and if you haven’t entered our Sizzlin’ Summer Survey Giveaway (or whatever it is our marketing team called it), please enter now!  The first 25 will get a free copy of my book, and all completed entries will go into a drawing for a $100 Restaurant.com gift certificate.  Info. is below….

CVS – FREE Back-To-School Supplies: Pilot Pens, Swingline Stapler, Sticky Notes, Pencil Case, Erasers and more!

CVS is geared up to get us back to school this year for free!! My stepdaughter is already diving into the filler paper from last week (she’s already prepping for her Honor’s English Class), and can’t wait to see what I’m going to put on her desk every week. We’re slowly crossing things off the list!!

Caliber Composition Books, 100 sheets–  These are on sale for $0.99, and you get the same back in ExtraBucks for your next visit.  Our limit is two per household.
Caliber or CVS Erasers, Push Pins OR Binder Clips – These are on sale for $0.99 each, and you’ll get $0.99 back in ExtraBucks to use next time.  We’re allowed to get twoof these, so my advice..if you have a high-schooler, go with the binder clips and push pins.  If you’ve got one in elementary or middle school, go with the erasers.  Mix and match any two.
Caliber Pencil Case OR Index Card Case – Our limit is two per household, so get one of each.  The pencil cases are decent.  Price on each is $0.99 and you’ll get the same amount back in ExtraBucks. 
Pilot Easy Touch Pen, 2pk.– Again, the sale price is $0.99, and you get $0.99 back in ECB’s.  Our limit is two per CVS card.
Swingline Tot Stapler or Caliber Sticky Notes – Our limit on these is two, so pick up one of each.  The tiny stapler works GREAT in your purse, btw.  Sale price is $0.99, and you get $0.99 back in ExtraBucks.

Here are the additional FREE things at CVS this week…woo hoo!!

Colgate Total Advanced– Colgate is on sale for $2.88.  You’ll get $2.00 back in ExtraBucks.  Use the $1.00 coupon in Week B (Week 28) of the SmartSource Sunday paper insert, and you’ll have an extra $0.12 to put toward another item on the list this week…. 
CVS Tampons– Buy a box of Regular or Super at $1.99, and get $1.99 back in ExtraBucks.  It’s a good time to try a different brand..especially if you’re brand loyal to something else.  Why not, they’re FREE.
Bayer Breeze Monitors – Pick up two of these at $19.99 each.  Coupons in Week L (Week 12 ) of the SmartSource Insert and Week Q (Week 17 ) of the Redplum Insert, are both for “up to $30.00”.  You can’t make money on these–but you can get them for FREE!!!  Please donate these to a Battered Women’s or Homeless Shelter near you.  In this economy, many are losing their homes, their jobs—and their healthcare benefits along with it.  I you’ve followed me for awhile, you know this cause is near and dear to my heart.  DONATE.  Thanks! 

There are TON of BOGO’s (Buy One, Get One’s)  at CVS this week, as well.  However, I noticed…a lot of them are items that we’ve been able to get for FREE over the past three weeks…so hopefully you’ve been keeping up with the posts and your CVS shopping trips.  When we’re able to get two of these per household, who needs to pay for them?  😀   Take advantage of the backpacks though..they’re a great deal at $9.99…and you get the next one FREE.

See you at CVS this week…..  HAPPY Shopping….  ~CouponCathy  www.shopsensibly.com
