Discover Artscow!!

Alot of people I know from the frugal community are hot for VistaPrint because of the great deals they can offer. I want to take a moment and introduce everyone to Artscow! Artscow has an extremely long list of 'freebies' available to you as a member. Many special offers are emailed almost daily, for example, one of the most recent offers was a Sleeping Mask for 2.99 with free shipping.

These masks are designed with YOUR digital photo or image. What a fabulous unique gift at a managable price.  I will mention that the ONLY drawback that I have noticed is that they are based out of Hong Kong and that items are shipped and processed there, causing the items to arrive slower than most American based companies. I've found that if you plan ahead and watch the sales, it's a great way to stock up on gifts that won't break the bank.

Rite Aid Score!

I wasn't going to use these BOGO coupons that I had because I don't wear makeup but my youngest daughter has decided to start wearing a little bit. So since I scored this all for FREE I don't mind getting her a little bit to see how she likes it. Alright, I had 6 BOGO Covergirl products. At Rite Aid they accept BOGO w/ BOGO sales with virtually no problems. Today the manager checked out my order and said this was the first time he'd ever seen anyone do this and then proceeded to ask if I'm 'one of the people that comes in everyday'. You would have thought if I was he would recognize me, anyway he stated that he would let me do it this time but that the coupons read per purchase. Long story short I got $80.60 of FREE Covergirl today!  WEEHAW! I have found my charger so I have pics tonight.

Rolling 'CATS' @ Safeway

I have been so busy today taking advantage of the frozen deals at Safeway. Once again, no photos, sorry, I was so preoccupied with getting everything into the freezer I simply forgot. So far I have purchased 40 Michael Angelos and 20 Smartones dinners. I've also found some great deals on cheese, yogurt and other misc items. My total savings for today only is at $176. Not too bad I don't think.  I have to admit this is the first time I've taken full advantage of 'rolling cats'. In the past I would get one and simply use it on a next purchase and that would be the end of it.

Albertsons Betty Crocker Fruit Snack Deals!!!!

Starting tomorrow March 3, Albertsons will have their Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks on sale for only $1 per box. Which in itself is a great deal! However there are a few printable coupons out there as well as a Catalina that prints to sweeten this deal.  For the Catalina here is the info:

Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks Catalina good until 3/21

• Buy 3, get a $1.50 Catalina
• Buy 4, get a $2.50 Catalina
• Buy 5 or more, get  back a $3.50 Catalina

Here is the best way to take advantage of this HOT SALE:
Buy 5 Fruit Snacks ($5)
-use (2) .50/2 printable coupons from here, here, here, or here, + 2 doubler coupons
= Pay $3, and you will get a Catalina for $3.50 off your next purchase! Money maker!
Then, of course you could go and buy 5 more boxes, and then do the same deal only this time use that $3.50 Catalina coupon you just earned (you would have to have something else for .50 in your cart as a filler) and pay nothing, plus get another $3.50 Catalina back. This is called rolling the deal.

There have also been found in various places $1/2 peelie coupons for the fruit snacks, so if you find those on your box here is how it goes:
Buy 5 Boxes fruit snacks, ($5)
-use (2) $1/2 peelies + 2 doubles
= Pay $1, get back $3.50 – *massive money maker!*
If you don't have any coupons it would still be a great deal if you were to roll it many times. The first time you would pay $5, but every time thereafter if you paid using your $3.50 off coupon you would only pay $1.50 for 5 boxes, which is not too shabby.

If the stores sell out quickly (which I am guessing they will…get a couple of rain-checks in sets of 5..this Catalina deal runs until 3/21!!!)

Thanks Fistfullofcoupons for the heads up on this sweet deal!

My scores today!

 

Here's the 2 deals I scored today. 1st is the Walgreen's deal I spoke about earlier today, 8 bottles of purex, 5 pkgs Nabisco cookies and 1 pkg Always....all for FREE!!!  The next deal is 8pkgs of Scott Tp and 1 bottle of Aveeno shampoo at Rite Aid, now the total for those were $10 BUT I used the $25 GC for transferring a RX to them, so in a sense they are FREE because I didn't' spend anything OOP! Just another way to stretch your $$.

Have you joined Pssssst.... yet?

I mentioned a couple weeks ago about the General Mills Pssst program and how I have scored BIG savings from joining. Today I received an email that said they are sending me YoPlus Yopliat Yougurt. In the past couple months I have also received, full size packages of Granold Nut Clusters and Chocolate Cheerios. I suspect they will be sending along some High Value coupons as well. Anyway my point is that if you haven't signed up with this yet, you're missing out, and hey it's free!  Click Here to Sign up

Crazy Cashier at Wags!

On my lunch break i decided to head to Walgreens for the free laundry soap (B1G1 Purex w/ the B1G1 mfr.).  Let me break this down for you, I picked up 8 Purex Laundry soaps (I had 4 mfr B1G1), 5 pkgs Oreos @.99 (I had 5 $1/1 Nabsico coupons) and 1 pkg Always Infinity ( I had 1 FREE mfr cpn from a sample I had ordered).

The cashier rang up everything and then I handed her my coupons, the 1st 4 nabisco coupons rang up with out any modification, the 5th wouldn't so I explained to her she would need to price modify and she told me she would have to call her manager for that. She proceeded to scan the Always coupon and marked it accordingly. Last were the B1G1 coupons. She informed me that she couldn't use this coupon because it would be giving me the items for free. I explained to her how it worked and luckily I remembered the name of the manager that had helped me with this exact same thing before so I asked if Bill was in. He wasn't, so she called another manager who, from what I could gather from her end of the conversation told her to go ahead and scan the coupons. The cashier repeated many times, "I understand, but she is going to leave the store with all of it for FREE" She finally hung up the phone and said "yeah this coupon isn't good for you because we are already giving you the free one so you should save your coupon for later" I smiled and said "no, Wags is offering thier own promotion for the soap and that the MFR is actually paying for mine, Wags actually earns money." She picked up her phone again and the manager must have been more forceful this time as she scanned the coupons. This left me with a .95 balance. Now I had already done my math knowing full well this order was supposed to be free. I asked her if she had finished with the last Nabisco coupons price modification and she held it up and said that if she did that I wouldn't even be paying .99 for all of the stuff there. I acknowleged this and stated that she needed to price modify it. She finally did it but was not happy that I was walking out paying ZERO! I couldn't beleive that a cashier was arguing with thier supervisor!!! 

Free Laundry Soap @ Walgreens

Purex on sale for BOGO at $5.99

*Buy 2, Use BOGO Purex Coupon from 2/21RP insert
FINAL PRICE = FREE

The way this works is the store gives you one free through the sale and the manufacturer gives you one free through the coupon. Most Walgreens stores will honor these, but not all. So be sure to ask before you check out.

Facebook Freebie!
