CVS: Free Kleenex Tissue Box

Till Saturday (today)

Kleenex Box $0.96 (120ct. i believe)
$1 Kleenex coupon from the flu shot booklet

= FREE

CVS $100 Coupon Book

First make sure your local CVS actually gives flu shots (use the store locater and it should say flu shot in the same section as pharmacy, store, etc.) Go up to the counter and ask for the flu shot coupon book. It is no purchase necessary so they should just hand it to you.

There are lots of great coupons like

$2 Any Tums product
$3/2 Theraflu products
$1 Total Advanced Toothpaste 5.8 oz or Total Advanced with 360 toothbrush
$1 Colgate sensistive Toothpaste or Toothbrush
$1 Dove or Degree Clinical Protection Deoderant

Potentially Free or Cheap Medicine! (MONEY MAKER)

One of my local Walgreens had several Tylenol Cold/Flu 4oz Bottles on sale for $1.01 ! These boxes also had peelies on them for $1.50 off!

Tylenol Multipurpose Cold $1.01 x 2
$1.50 peelie coupon x 2
= $0 (you might have to add some filler items to make up for the $1.50)

And what makes this deal even better is that $5 in RR should print out because you bought two tylenol cold,cough,etc. medicine!

So including RR makes it a $5 money maker!

Sadly my manager was throwing a fuss about me getting free products so he would only let me use one coupon. It came out to $0.58 + tax. Still not a bad deal.

Safeway -- better than FREE YOGURT

I just did this deal today at my local safeway and they PAID me $0.50 to do this transaction.

Yoplus 4pk. Yogurt - $2.50
$1 Cellfire Coupon
$1 Shortcuts Coupon
$1 mfr. coupon (9/13 GM insert)
= - $0.50

Shortcuts & Cellfire 101

I discovered Shortcuts and Cellfire from the Safeway website (same as Vons).

They are basically 'ecoupons' that can be loaded directly to your club card! To sign up for these websites make sure you have your account number handy.

Once you sign up / log on you can add coupons onto your card. They should be active in about an hour. The great thing about these ecoupons is that when you buy a product the savings will appear automatically! Also, shortcuts, cellfire, and paper manufacturer coupons can ALL BE STACKED. There's been some posts about the morality of stacking so many coupons, but if you look at the couponLINK FAQ on the safeway website, they say it's allowed! (So why not take advantage of it).

Walgreen Deals 9/14 - 9/19

Here's the best scenario I've come up with to maximize your benefits (: !

Transaction 1

True North Nut Crisps $3
use -$1 coupon here (print it up to two times per computer)

= $2 OOP (out of pocket) and get $3 Wagbucks

Transaction 2

WAG pads 2 for $1
coupon in ad

Listerine 250ml $2.99
use -$1 coupon here

use the $3 wagbuck
= $0 + tax get $2 wagbucks


Transaction 3 **

True North Nut Crisps $3
use -$1 coupon here

use the $2 wagbucks

= $0 + tax get $3 wagbucks
Transaction 4**

Colgate tooth paste 2/$5
use 2 -$1 coupon (9/14 sunday paper or in the toothpaste section of Safeway there should be a booklet)

use $3 wagbucks

=$0 + tax get $1 wagbucks
(treat yourself to some candy with that (: )

**Important Note: Only $2 OOP is too ideal of a situation. I didn't include tax and filler items, which will be necessary considering how many coupons are being used. Try to find really cheap candy and it'll cut your extra costs. I repeated the deal a few times (2 trips to walgreens) and spent $6 OOP for 2 bags of nuts, 2 pantiliners, 2 listerines, 3 assorted candies, 2 toothpastes, and 2 glade candles. AND I still have $3 in wagbucks left.

Walgreen Deals 101

Walgreens can be a little tricky and I actually find it more frustrating than CVS (contrary to some other money savers). Wagbucks are a lot like CVS ECB: they can be redeemed like cash on the next purchase and can earn you free items (: ! Here is the fine print on wagbucks

* Your subtotal (before tax) must be OVER the amount of wagbucks you're spending
* The number of coupons (wagbucks, mfr coupons, wag coupons) must not exceed the number of items you are purchasing.

So how can we solve some of these issues? The best technique I have is grabbing clearance candy ($0.20 - $0.50) as a filler. It's the cheapest stuff I've seen in Walgreens and it can help boost your subtotal without making it too much higher.

Also
* You cannot use wagbucks to purchase something from the same manufacturer and expect to get more Wagbucks. Basically wagbucks usually have "compliments of [insert company name]" This is to prevent people from just buying the free good and rebuying the same thing with wagbucks. So switch it up and you'll be good.

Best order to give coupons/wagbucks

- Wagbucks
- MFR Coupons
- Wag Coupons

This gives you the least issues.

College Freebies 101

Make sure to check events occuring at your college because they might also be offering free food or goodies!

To begin, if your college has a welcome week / fair, go to it! Lots of companies like to publicize themselves at these college events in hopes of influencing the 'college crowd'. At my college fair (Caltopia) I was able to snag 6 free t-shirts, 3 tote bags, 4 minutemaid microwave rice bowls, 6 indian prepared foods/rice, 4 mini containers of ben & jerrys, 6 cans of izze, 4 bottles of naked juice, and much more!

Also, although it is morally questionable to go to a club just for free food I would say 'why not just check it out? ' Honestly you might like it! And that's why clubs offer free food, to entice people like you (: !
