Free Ice Cream for Mother's Day at Coldstone Creamery

Certain Triangle area stores will be having free "like it" sizes of their Signature Creation Strawberry Cheesecake for all Moms on Mothers Day. All Coldstone Creamery's should be hosting some type of Mothers Day event- check your nearby store to see if they're participating in the free ice cream for Moms deal.

Personally, I think Dads will get the better deal in June. They'll get a free "like it" size of Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter. Yum!

Kroger Mega Madness!

Kroger Mega sales can be quite the godsend when it comes to stockpiling and this March Madness event has been no exception! I've lucked into some great .50/1 Coke Zero coupons which have made for moneymaking 2 liters and I made a smart trade for a bunch of B10G5 Powerade coupons so looks like our garage will be filled up with our favorite beverages!

In a trip last night, I filled my cart with the following items:

15 bottles of Powerade Zero - used B10G5 to take $4.95 off the order
9 two liter bottles of Coke Zero - used .50/1 tearpad q's to make them each 30 cent mm's!
8 bottles of Shamrock Farms Rockin Refuel protein drinks - used .50/1 to make them freebies
12 Snickers bars - used .50/2 insert q's to make them freebies

The Mega Event takes $4 off your order for every 8 qualifying event items (the powerades and cokes were qualifying items).

Total spent: 43 cents!
Total saved: $57.67

With a triples event looming on the horizon from Harris Teeter, can we get any more spoiled here???

Free Purex @ Walgreen's - YMMV!

Discovered this *HOT* unadvertised deal on an HCW thread and wanted to share. There is a month-long unadvertised B1G1 deal on Purex Liquid Laundry Detergents. If you have any of the B1G1 insert q's, these will mean free Purex at your nearby Walgreen's. Keep in mind these q's expire on 3/06 so you only have a few days to get this deal!

YMMV means "Your Mileage May Vary." Some Walgreen's may not accept B1G1 coupons on
B1G1 sales or you may just run into a difficult cashier. Always ask to speak to a manager if you have an issue with coupon redemption. If the manager refuses to accept the coupon, you can simply have them void out the transaction and leave. You can then try your luck elsewhere or just give up on the deal depending on your level of patience and tenacity.

I went to my closest Wags this morning and should have just turned around when I saw that the cashier was someone who has routinely had issues with my coupons (especially when I'm buying freebies after coupons) but I figured I'd give it a try anyway. The manager on duty seemed completely confused by the entire idea and was about to call in to another manager there when I waved my white flag and left. I decided to try my luck at another location and had absolutely zero difficulty with the transaction- no questions, no attitude whatsoever.

I wound up paying $1.39 total for six 50 ounce jugs of Purex Free & Clear- enough for 192 loads of laundry!

Free Keebler 100 Calorie Right Bites cookies @ Lowe's Foods

This deal has only 3 more days left and supplies may be limited at your store, but it was too good not to share. Use your Lowe's 3 week coupon to get each box for $1.49- this came in Lowe's fliers a few weeks back or you can ask cashier if they have one you can use on hand. Then use .75/1 manufacturer's insert coupon and voila- free cookies! I am always on the lookout for free or dirt cheap lunchbox snacks for our school-aged children. Stella loves the Pecan Sandies and chewy chocolate chippers too!

We've also continued to stock up on free G2's at Kroger. You should see our garage! I need to start taking and posting pics of our stockpile.

Speaking of Kroger, they have another mega event starting tomorrow - one of the deals is a small moneymaker after coupon. Quaker Quakes will be 49 cents each after the Mega promo $5.00 off when you buy 10- use .75/1 manufacturer's q's and make 25 cents each bag. I stocked up on these when they were free after coupon at Harris Teeter last week and they are yummy. My personal favorite is the Vanilla Creme Brulee flavor. Delish!

More Grocery Store Freebies!

I had a kid-free shopping experience earlier this morning and found some great finds to use with some new coupons from this morning's inserts...

Harris Teeter:

FREE Hershey's Extra Dark bars w/ $1/1 q from today's inserts
FREE Wolfgang Puck's Organic Soup w/ $1/1 q from today's inserts
FREE Mission Tortillas w/ .75/1 q from today's inserts

Kroger:

FREE Gatorade G2 bottles with .50/1 q from today's inserts

We go through sports drinks like crazy in our home so this was a welcome surprise! If you can find any of these q's on a coupon clipping site, grab them quick! They are going fast.

Office Max Freebies!

If you're like me and do a lot of internet coupon printing and trading of q's, you'll love this deal! Office Max Reward Members will get back the money they spend on these items this week- you have to buy the exact items specified. They are:

Sharpie Fine Point Black Permanent Markers, 12 pk.
Ascend Recycled Peel-to-Seal No. 10 Envelopes, 50 ct
Boise X-9 Paper, 10 Ream Case

They are pictured on the front page of the Office Max ad this week. I love the Rewards program! The Rewards I earned last year helped me to get a Garmin Nuvi for DIRT CHEAP on Black Friday. It is a great program.

Drugstore Deals - Week of 10/11

Whoowhee, it's a crazy good week at Rite Aid this week! I'm even listing my planned scenario for an over $10 moneymaker. Here are this week's highlights from the big 3:

CVS

Nothing much going on at CVS this week. Freebies (after ECBs) are a carving tool and a nylon treat bag for Halloween. They'll also have Brach's Candy Corn on sale for 44 cents a bag through Tuesday. For all the details, click here for Southern Saver's match-ups.

Rite Aid

Even though I've already earned my $20 Gift of Savings, I will most definitely be making a Rite Aid run this week. There will be 13 freebies to be had after Single Check Rebates (5 of these will actually be moneymakers!) including lots of cold remedies just in time for cold & flu season. Click here for Southern Saver's match-ups. My grand plan will include purchases of the following:

Comtrex 20 count
Children's Throat Cooler 6 ct.
Simply Saline Mist 3 oz.
Simply Saline Children's Nasal Mist 1.5 oz.
Chloraseptic Allergen Block Gel, 20 ct.

Total before coupons: $25.95 (will give $5 off $25 Rite Aid coupon to cashier first)
Total after coupons: $12.95 - $13.95 depending upon which Comtrex coupon I can find in store

I'll receive $25.95 back in Single Check Rebates making this a $12 - $13 moneymaker. Sweet!

Walgreen's

Month long Register Reward deals continue on and there are some new deals to be had- most notably $8 in Register Rewards when you buy 8 participating Unilever products (including Skippy peanut butter & Ragu spaghetti sauce). Click here for all the details on Southern Saver's match-ups.

Lowe's Foods Greenpoints Ends Today!

I would have missed this had Sue Stock not mentioned it in her N&O blog...Lowe's Foods is ending their Greenpoints program today! So if you have any Greenpoints accrued, get to your nearest Lowe's to redeem them tonight. I just got back from spending my Greenpoints to get a free gallon of milk. I also picked up some Oikos Greek yogurt for free thanks to $1/1 insert coupons found in this Sunday's paper (it was in 9/27 SmartSource for most other regions) and used a $3 Catalina I earned from McCormick purchases to also get some blueberries for 99 cents AC.

Oikos sale ends today so if you want some free Greek yogurt (I can't yet attest to the taste of Oikos but I love Trader Joe's greek yogurt), get over to Lowe's ASAP.

Drugstore Deals - week of 10/03

Things have been crazy busy here so I haven't been posting as much as I typically do- my apologies- we have a lot of personal stuff going on right now and it's potentially likely to keep us occupied (& stressed!) for the next several weeks...if not longer. I didn't have opportunity to post our Friday Finals. I haven't done a good job in keeping receipts this past week and our spending was up due to my stocking up on lean ground beef & chicken drumsticks from Food Lion. Oh well- we can't all be perfect, can we? Without further ado, here's a brief store-by-store breakdown of deals.

CVS

CVS has a $5 Moneymaker again with the Bayer Breeze ECB deal coupled with old insert coupons. You can also pick up some free Revlon nail color, a variety of bar soaps and, of course, free toothpaste (Colgate Total Advanced, to be precise). Read all about these deals and others here on the SouthernSavers match-up page.

Rite Aid

You can score some free Super PoliGrip powder and Act II Popcorn balls (not exactly a perfect combo, I know). There's also a $1 moneymaker to be had with Scalpicin Anti-Itch Medicated Wipes. Rite Aid is also offering a $10 off $25 rebate for certain Johnson & Johnson products. Click here for more details on these and other deals at Rite Aid this week thanks to Southern Savers' match-ups.

Walgreen's

There are lots of month long freebies thanks to Register Rewards that mirror that of last week's listings. I plan on using up all my Halls Refresh coupons to earn a stash of $1 Register Rewards that I hope I'll be able to use during a Harris Teeter Super Doubles promotion should they have one prior to the expiration date on these. Click here for details on Southern Saver's match-ups.

Drugstore Deals - week of 9/26

Some good deals at the drugstore this weekend! Rite Aid is a little slow but will have lots of freebies coming up over the next 2 weeks. Walgreens has lots of freebies after Register Rewards but as previously indicated, the rules of coupon redemption are usually more hassle than these are worth. But I likely will stop by for a few of their deals and earn some RR to redeem at Harris Teeter during the upcoming super doubles. Here's a quick store-by-store breakdown of the week's highlights...

Rite Aid
You can get free Nivea Lip Balm, Crest with Scope, Gillette Fusion Power Razor, Dentyne Gum (if you have some B1G1 blinkies and your RA accepts B1G1 q's on B1G1 sale items), Profoot Symposium Pain Relieving Gel, Oral B Advantage and Renpure Shampoo. The Renpure, Oral B and Profoot are all small moneymakers if you have the coupons necessary to make it work. You can find out all the details by clicking here for Southern Savers' match-ups. I'll also be trying to use a soon to expire B1G1 IP for Sobe Lifewater to get 2 for free.

CVS
Unfortunately, I am forced to stop at CVS this week to roll soon to expire ECBs. There are a couple of freebies to be had - namely, the Vaseline Sheer Infusion Body Lotion and Fruitopia or Viologie shampoo/conditioner. You can also get $10 ECB when you buy $25 worth of Proctor & Gamble products. The best way to make this deal work for the least amount of money is by buying Tide Stain Release or Bounce Dryer Bar with larger value coupons. You can find out all the details by clicking here for Southern Savers' match-ups.

Walgreen's
Walgreen's has 10 available freebies this week thanks to the Register Rewards program and coupons! Freebies include Vaseline Sheer Infusion Body Lotion, Emergen-C Booster, Oral B Advantage 1-2-3 Toothbrush, Chapstick Fresh Effects, Robitussin DM to Go, Dentek Floss, Halls Refresh Sugar Free lozenges, Trident gum, Herbal Essences and Gillette Fusions Razors. You can find out all the details by clicking here for Southern Savers' match-ups.

Happy shopping all!

Yummy! Free ice cream!

Cold Stone Creamery will be hosting an "ice cream social"to benefit the Make-A-Wish foundation tomorrow night from 5-8 p.m. Make a donation (any donation!) during this time and receive a free 3 oz. Jack's Creation Sundae. This sounds yummy! It's made with sweet cream ice cream, brownies, caramel and rainbow sprinkles.

We're lucky enough to have a Cold Stone just a short drive away. I'm doing a happy dance just thinking about this!

Free Sandwich at Chick-Fil-A

Today only, go into any Chick-Fil-A sporting your favorite team gear (whether it be NFL, NHL or your kid's soccer team!) and get a free Chick-Fil-A sandwich. Stella approved of this deal - see the thumbs up! I think she really liked her sandwich.
Be prepared for a long line but they'll get you out fairly quickly. Happy Labor Day all!

Free Softsoap Body Wash at Lowe's Foods!

Just wanted to pass a quick freebie to you Lowe's Shoppers- all Softsoap body washes are currently on sale for 2/$3 (even the new Serum kinds!). Pair the sale price up with the .75/1 coupon that appeared in last Sunday's SmartSource and it's free thanks to coupon doubling!

Drugstore Deals - Week of 9/05

This is not a particularly noteworthy week for drugstore freebies & moneymakers but there are a few things I'll be taking advantage of... here's the scoop drugstore by drugstore!

Rite Aid

I'll be skipping out on a Rite Aid trip this week as there is nothing, in my humble opinion, worth stopping by for- but I'll definitely be there next week when they have a Huggies sale & Single Check Rebate offer. I'll be picking up 3 Huggies Pure & Natural Packs for $13 out of pocket and then filing for a $10 SCR- making each pack a mind-blowing $1 each. You can read all the details about this deal & others from this coming week here at southernsavers.

CVS

I'll only be doing one deal at CVS this coming week- and that is for FREE multi-packs of Schick razors after ECBs and a $3/1 coupon from 8/16's SmartSource insert. Click here for summaries of all the other deals available at CVS this coming week.

Walgreen's

There are a couple of really good deals to be had at Walgreen's- namely, a FREE Scrubbing Bubbles Shower Cleaner kit (after Register Rewards and a $7 printable), yet more free Glade candles (these will make great teacher's gifts!) after Register Rewards and $2 printables and another free Glade Sense & Spray to add to our growing collection after Register Rewards and the $4/1 insert coupon. If you have $2/1 Starbucks ice cream coupons on hand, you can also get yourself some free Starbucks ice cream! You can read all the details on these and other deals @ Walgreen's this week here.

One thing I've been delighted to recently discover is that you can use your Walgreen's Register Rewards at Harris Teeter!

That's about it for drugstore deals this week! Hope y'all find my lists helpful. Many thanks & kudos go out to Jenny @ Southern Savers for spotting and sharing these deals.

Drugstore Deals week of 8/29

If you're one of the lucky folks who got a $4 off Natural Instincts coupon in your 8/02 P&G Saver insert, this is a great week for you! Both CVS and Rite Aid are offering specials which turn out to be moneymakers with use of this coupon (see links to each store's sections on Southern Savers below). Alas, us here in Raleigh did not get this valuable coupon and will be missing out- no moneymaking hair dye for me. I was thinking of trying to make a quick trade for it then realized this would be impossible as the coupons expire on Monday. *Big frown*

Oh well, there are still other moneymakers to be had...

The highlights:

CVS

$3-$4 moneymaker with the purchase of Glade Scented Reed Diffuser 1.6 ounce or Soy Candle 4.9-10 ounce (limit 1 per card). I'll be using the $3 off coupon found in August's All You as I don't have the larger $4 coupon that was found in 5/31 SmartSource Insert. Item rings up at $6.99 and you'll get $6.99 back in ECBs.

$5 moneymaker with the purchase of the Bayer Contour Monitor (limit 2 per card). You can get these for free with the use of insert coupons for $20-$30 that are out there as these are on sale for $14.99 this week so you'll spend nothing but tax and get $5 back in ECBs.

As always, you can increase your savings/moneymaking potential by using an autofill coupon ($4/20) or a CRT for $5/$25 if you have these handy.

For all the deals (including the hair color one mentioned above), click here to be redirected to the CVS weekly deals section on Southern Savers.

Rite Aid

Stim-U-Dent Mint Flavor 100 ct will be free after $1.49 SCR. I'm not even sure what these are but if they're gum or mints, I'll be picking one up.

Get a $10 Rite Aid gift card when you buy $30 in P&G Products (the Clairol Natural Instincts would qualify and when you use the $4 coupon and the $5/$25 Rite Aid printable that's out there, you'll be making $$ on this deal!).

Since I don't have the $4 Clairol coupon, I'm going to take advantage of this deal by buying Cover Girl products. Jenny lays out a great scenario involving foundation and face products. Click here for all the details and other Rite Aid deals this week.

Walgreens

There are lots of freebies to be had at Walgreens this week thanks to Register Rewards program. Freebies include Rembrandt toothpaste, Reach products, Carefree pantiliners, men's razors and toothbrushes- since we're pretty well stocked on dental hygiene products etc., I'm probably not going to take advantage of any of these. Rather, I'll just stock up on cheap newspapers while I'm there. I think I'm still harboring major resentment against Walgreens over their failure to keep Huggies wipes in stock this past week.

You can find all the details on deals here if you're up for shopping at Walgreens.

Happy shopping all!

There is such a thing as a free lunch!

I'm not a frequent shopper of Whole Foods (or as it's been not so lovingly dubbed "Whole Paycheck") but these freebies made it worth the trip after hubby and I hit the gym for some speedwork on the treadmill- Whole Foods was a short hop away from our gym.

You can get coupons for a free bouquet or a free rotisserie chicken (based on text on face of coupon, I don't think you can use both coupons in one transaction- so hubby and I split up with me picking out the flowers, him picking out a chicken).

Sorry for you Yanks- these coupons are valid only in GA, SC, NC, AL & TN. For free flower coupon, click here. For your free rotisserie chicken, click here. These coupons are good until September 15! The chicken made a most welcome post-run lunch, paired with some fresh grapes, pineapple and buttered whole grain bread.

Today's Shopping

Well, I've been running around quite a bit today thanks to Stella's one year appointment this morning (poor thing had four shots!!!) and my 6 month dental appt this afternoon. In the midst of all the running around, I did manage to get some shopping done and took advantage of the CVS Glade Sense & Spray deal (as well as score some free Reese's PB cups thanks to this Sunday's 55/1 coupon).

Unfortunately for me, I did not have an ECB lower than $10, so I was out of pocket $3.49 for the 6 Glade Sense & Sprays and 8 Reeses PB cups but I did get $9 back in ECBs so it was still a good trip.

I tried to get some more baby wipes from Walgreens but struck out at two different stores. My mood brightened after following up these fruitless stops with a quick run to Harris Teeter for free Shamrock milk- I picked up 10 bottles of their Rocket Refuel (which is essentially like a chocolate protein drink) for the mind blowing total of 10 cents. A penny each! I'm going to add these to my wishlist for trades on HCW for sure.

Free 12 oz milk bottles at Harris Teeter

Shamrock Mmmmilk is on sale for $1 this week at Harris Teeter. Use the 50 cent coupon in today's paper and get it for free thanks to coupon doubling! Sale ends on Tuesday night so you'll need to act quick for this deal.

And don't forget - super doubles are right around the corner on Wednesday so get those $1 and $1.50 coupons ready!

Great Rite Aid trip

CVS is my fave store for drugstore freebies but Rite Aid is becoming a very close second...

Here's what I got this morning (and made $8 doing so!):

1 Glade Lasting Impressions
1 Glade Sense & Spray
1 Tylenol 8 Hr Back & Body pain 24 ct.
1 Goody 17 ct. ouchless elastic hair bands
1 Colgate Total Advanced whitening toothpaste
1 copy of Raleigh News & Observer (need the extra inserts and they only had 1 copy left!!!)

I used a $5/$25 Rite Aid coupon, a $3 Glade coupon, a $4 Glade coupon, a $2 off Tylenol coupon that was in this morning's paper, a $1 off Colgate coupon and a $10.00 certificate that I received from Rite Aid yesterday for the Zyrtec purchases I made earlier in the month.

I spent $1.63 at the store and will receive $10.49 back in Single Check Rebates when I file my August claim later this week- an $8.86 MONEYMAKER.

For those not yet in the know, Single Check Rebates is a program offered by Rite Aid. You can register for it online at www.riteaid.com and file your receipts electronically. It is super easy to do and when you finalize your monthly filings at the end of the month, you usually get a check in the mail 2-3 weeks after so it's quick too! I should be getting around $80 total for my purchases this month.

Many times, you'll get freebates (free after single check rebates) and moneymakers for those freebate items which you have coupons to match. It's a pretty straightforward program that I highly recommend you join.
