I am trying out TruMoo flavored milk thanks to BzzAgent! I got a free gallon of chocolate and 75cent coupons to hand out to my friends. I used one coupon to try the vanilla milk. We want to try strawberry next! There is also a contest going on so be sure to enter to win that too. Just go the TruMoo FaceBook page https://www.facebook.com/TruMooMilk . Let me know if you need a coupon!

Slow lately

The mail has been slow. Recent freebies:
Sat - nothing
Fri - Venom energy drink
Thur - A tea bag (cinnamon vanilla it was good!), Almond tin, and a product test for Sensodyne iso-active toothpaste. It came with 2 popsicles to eat after I try the toothpaste to see if it helps with sensitive teeth :)
Prior to Thurs I don't remember what we got except for the $30 gift card for AppleBees that I got after I filed a complaint.

Monday's Freebies

My Monday outing started with a visit to the Dr about my headaches - sooo not free, but after that I headed to Rite Aid for some rebate shopping. They had 2 packs of GE light bulbs on sale 2 for $2 with a $2 rebate so they were free (+ tax). Then they had Vaseline's new pricey little lotion on sale for $4.99 with a $4 rebate so .99 cents - except I had a $1 off coupon so it was free. Finally, they had Kotex maxi pads on sale for $2.99 with a $2 rebate - once again .99 cents, but with my $1 off coupon it was free also. So for those 4 items I just paid the tax of .88 cents! Next I went to Target, got some clearance items, but nothing free. After that I went to a pet store to get my free bag of Eukanuba puppy food. The 5lb bag was 10.99! Holy cow! I just paid the tax of .99 cents. When I got home the mail had arrived and there was a sample of Curel anti-itch lotion and Organic Gardening magazine.

Rite Aid

This week and last Rite Aid had many 'free with rebate' sales. Mostly it was cold medicine and whatnot - I love getting this stuff free because then I already have it if someone gets sick. No need to run to the store and pay full price for it when you feel crappy. If we don't use it and it expires - oh well - it was free anyhow. So I got:

Chloraseptic Allergen Block
Carmex Moist Lip care w/ SPF 15
Carmex 3 pk tube lip care
Cold Wars (to help prevent)20ct
Comtrex cold medication 30 ct
Children's Throat Cooler (kids love these, like Popsicles)-had $1 off coupon too
Sucrets cherry cough drops 18 ct
Bee MD cough drops 21 ct
BodiHeat 4 ct heat pads
Eos lip blam vanilla bean
Chloraseptic sour throat strips for kids 40 ct
LittleColds mucus relief meltaways 12 ct
Chestal cough syrup 8.45oz
Cepacol Fizzlers 12 ct
LittleColds cold medicine 1oz
Zucol cold care 18 ct
Blink Tears 15 ml


All this cost $82.51 but I will get $76.63 back (you don't get tax back) meaning all this will only cost me: $5.88!


Mail Call:
What I can remember of the recent freebies: a few free mags, a coupon for a free Chick-fil-a sandwich, a jar of Olay anti-aging cream, a coupon for a free bag of dog food, and that's all I can remember for now!

CVS

CVS is new to our area so I'm still getting used to them and their Extra Care Bucks. However, I did make the ECBs work for me this week. First, I bought a 12 pack of Lipton green tea that was on sale for $5.99 and a pumpkin carving tool that was $1.99. I used a $7 ECB that I had from my last visit so my total with tax came to $1.76! Plus I got $2.99 EBCs back. Next I bought 2 bags of candy corn on sale for .44 cents each and a 16 count Carefree pantyliners for $3.99. I had a $1 off coupon for the pantyliners and the $2.99 ECBs so my total with tax came to $1.24! And I got $3 ECBs back.

SO I got:
12 pack tea
pumpkin carving tool
2 bags of candy corn
pantyliners
all for $3 ---- and got $3 back in EBCs so it was 'like getting it for free'

The tea had a coupon on it for a free liter of Lipton Sparkling tea, but I guess they don't sell that at CVS... so I guess Ill save it for another time, but that wouldve made the deal even better!

When I was in the middle of the second transaction - you know handing the guy my stack of coupons and what not - a lady got in line behind me. I could tell she was maybe a little annoyed with all my 'stuff'. But it was so great when the cashier told me "$1.24". She flinched - big time. Yes I'm sorry I made you wait a whole minute, but I'm not paying much for my items haha :)


Today I got a free facial. When I was at the Kids Fest thing at the zoo a while back all the vendors had raffles and whatnot. Really they just want to reel you in with a free gift and try to get you to buy more. So the Mary Kay lady calls and says I won the raffle! I get a free facial and a gift card to buy from the catalog. I can bring friends and they all get free facials too (of course - more people to sell to!) So my sister and I went and we got to buff and scrub and moisturize our faces and try some foundation colors. We exfoliated our lips and hands and tested perfumes. We bought nothing, except I used my gift card. She wants us to come back and she will do our makeovers - woo hoo!

Mail Call:

Thurs: Free mags - Wood and Prevention
Fri: Free mag - Ladies Home Journal (it had a sample of eye cream in it!)
Sat: I dont remember
Mon: non mail day :(
Tue: Childrens Zyrtec BzzKit - came with a box of the Zyrtec(10 doses) and coupons to pass out, a sample of a creme to make bruises go away, and something else that came in a padded envelope, but for the life of me I cant remember what it was?
Wed: Free mag - Body & Soul

Hump Day

We only got free mags and junk in the mail today. It was a Parents and 7X7.

At Target I got some clearance items: 2 little boy t-shirts for $2 each. A pair of jeans for my brothers BD $11 and a pair of khaki for the other brothers BD $8.

At Walgreen's I got a Gillette Fusion razor and 16 Halloween pencils for .99 cents + tax. I used a $4 coupon for the razor, $2 coupon for the pencils, and a $6 Register Reward. I also got another $6 RR for buying the razor.
Then I got 3 packages of Pop Tarts (a good sale!), a thing of dried apricots (yum), and an 8oz Purell hand sanitizer for $2.98 + tax. I used the $6 RR on this and got another $2 RR from the Purell.

Walgreen's had a coupon good only on Wed for a DVD 'movie' made from your pictures and set to music - normally $19.99 - only $1! I didn't look at the ad until Mon so I only had 2 days to prepare my photos. Plus I've been feeling a little sick, so I just really quickly picked out about 75 pics and made a little movie of the grand-kids for my mom for Christmas. If I had more time I could've made it really cool, but hey for a dollar its not too bad :)
