Walgreen’s – FREE Rembrandt, Organix Shampoo, Carefree Pantyliners, Zone 6 Razor, Colgate, Reach Toothbrush

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….

Rembrandt Toothpaste– Walgreens has this on sale for $2.99.  You’ll get a Register Reward for your next purchase worth $2.99, making this FREE.
Carefree Pantyliners –Currently on sale for $1.99.  You’ll get a Register Reward on your next purchase for $1.99.  Print the online coupons / printable coupons here:  https://secure.startsampling.com/sm/100830/captureAddress.iphtml?item=100830&source  for $1.00, and you can apply this $1.00 to another item in your transaction…(see Honorable Mention below).

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.

HONORABLE MENTION:
Oscar Mayer Bacon– Walgreen’s has them as a Buy One Get One free (BOGO) for $5.99.  Use the coupon from this week’s SmartSource Insert for $1.50.  In addition, you’ll make $1.40 from the transactions above, which brings this total to $3.09…about $1.55 each…pretty good deal, if you ask me!

RedBox Movies – Free movie codes!

Do you know about RedBox?  Have you seen them around?  They are the new, latest craze that may eventually be what pushes Blockbuster off the cliff for good.  For me?  One more way to shop sensibly.  Forget crazy club cards and browsing aisles and aisles of movies.  Go online to http://www.redbox.com, see what’s playing, and..maximum..spend a $1.00 on a movie for the night…and you only have to go to your corner Walgreens or your local Kroger or Fry’s store.  Redbox is now a part of Coinstar, which is the green machine you see in the grocery store that will turn your coins into paper money or a printable grocery  coupons credit. 

Our world is virtual–we are now “there”, and there are online coupons, promo codes, or printable coupons for just about anything nowadays. 

The great thing about Redbox is that they will send you movie codes where you can get movies for FREE. Go to http://www.redbox.com/Help/Signup.aspx.  You’ll get free codes sent to you when you register (and on other occasions). 

This link:  http://www.insideredbox.com/redbox-codes/  has free codes almost every day, so visit here if you don’t have one handy!  The FREE code is good once per credit/debit card…doesn’t matter if you have a joint account..it’s tied to the card itself.  Keep in mind that if you don’t return the movie the next day, you’ll be charged $1.00 for every day it’s not in the machine, so return timely.

Is this a great deal…or what?   Enjoy!  ~CouponCathy~ www.shopsensibly.com

Reach Toothbrush – is currently on sale for $0.99.  Use the grocery coupon for $1.00 in the SmartSource Insert of Week X, which is WAY back in Week #23, and it’s toward the back of the insert.  Use the coupon to get yours for FREE.
