Dark Chocolate Reese’s Cups FREE After Coupons!

By mainely  //  Inserts  //  No Comments

Thats right, more free candy. And this is the dark kind of chocolate so its got healthy junk like antioxidants in it, lol.

The Sunday inserts had a .55/1 coupon. Which means free anytime they are 2/$1 or .49 each or places that double coupons.

RA regularly has these for .89 each, but often does a 2/$1 or bogo sale.

WAGs has these 2/$1 or .49 each with in-ad coupon all the time.

Shaws has these for .89 each regularly. Which means when they double they are free (no overage since they will only double to .89 no matter what). When they are 2/$1 or .49 or .59 each they will be free and possibly overage if your cashier is negligent (or you cheat and use a SCO to try and dodge manual override of overage).

So go clip those coupons and stock up.

Forums Now OPEN!

By mainely  //  Forum Stuff  //  No Comments

Alright, finally finished fleshing out the sections. Plenty more information to get filled in, along with a full rules list, but that can be finished over the course of the evening. I just wanna get everything opened up before the weekend so we can get started trading!

They can be found in the navigation dropdown at the top of the page or the link to the right of the page. Eventually buttons for posting and linking will be shared and maybe a membership drive?

Please remember I do require you use the screen name you use at other sites so that you can be easily recognized. Anyone found using a different name will be banned automatically.

Welcome to the site.

Lunchables FREE After Coupon AGAIN!

By mainely  //  Shaws  //  No Comments

Lunchables are in the Shaws add for .99 each again next week. Which means free not only with the .75/1 tearpad coupon, but also with the $1/1 insert coupon from the other week. They are the more basic ones without a drink, etc but not a bag deal if you only have to buy a drink…

FREE Purina Pro Plan Pouch

By mainely  //  Inserts  //  No Comments

In today’s Smart Source (one of two SmartSource inserts today) there was a Strip of coupons for Purina Pro Plan products. One was for $3 off any size Pro Plan, another was for a free pouch of Pro Plan up to 1.99. Which sounds to me like free Pro Plan. Yay!

Purina is my favorite dog food company. Its has been the food I fed my oldest dog for most of his life after we weaned him off a raw food diet. The fact that they hand out coupons like candy makes it nicer…

Lunchables Coupon at Gas Stations

By mainely  //  Tearpads  //  No Comments

There is a coveted Lunchables .75/1 tearpad at select gas stations. I found mine at a local Irving station.

Why is this important?

Well for one thing they are on sale for .99 at Shaws this week. Shelf price is over $2 so you might be able to double them for overage. At bare minimum you can get them free.

At a second glance they are a dollar at Target. So .25 each there. Not a bad deal, especially if you have kiddos that eat them daily.

So forgo paying at the pump or head inside to check out the cooler cases and see if you can dig up this gold mine.

Forums and Stores and Updates-Oh My!

By mainely  //  Blog Stuff  //  No Comments

So I’ve been toiling away on the hidden backside of the site. A forum and a store are in order for the future. Somewhere to chat and share information and whatnot. And somewhere to possibly offer coupon organizers and coupons themselves-should I see sufficient interest to start a clipping service. Just have to finish tweaking the interfaces, fleshing out the framework and making it all look pretty.

Stay tuned.

By mainely  //  Contests to Enter  //  No Comments

Are you ready to ditch the frumpy plastic bags and start sporting reusable ones! Enter to win one of 3 stylish starter kits or 2 chill bags from Blue Avocado by pledging how many plastic bags you’re willing to give up. Simply fill out the form below to submit your pledge! If you are a Twitter user, your pledge will automatically be posted on Twitter!

Click here to ENTER!

Mambo Sprouts is one of my favorite groups. They have coupon booklets they send out, printable links, and fun contests. And not using plastic bags is fun and easy to do. Just last month Shaws gave away FREE reusable bags with their weekly internet coupons. Last summer they gave away FREE insulated bags with the weekly coupons. I’ve even gotten winetags for $1 off reusable grocery bags, which I used on the .50 foldable ones to get two FREE.

And the best part (aside from helping save the environment) is no more broken handles because the plastic bags aren’t strong enough even when you use two….

Align Double Dip Rite Aid SCR

By mainely  //  Drug Stores, Rite Aid  //  No Comments

Align is in two rebate offers this month at Rite Aid.
#15 Align Digestive Care, 28 ct. $10.00 Rebate
#18 Purchase Thirty Dollars ($30.00) Worth of Select: P&G Health Care Brands and receive back by mail a FREE $10.00 Rite Aid Gift Card
Includes Prilosec, Metamucil, Align, NyQuil/DayQuil, VapoSyrup, Always/Tampax, Gillette Razor Cartridges or Shave Gel, Pampers, Clean ‘n Go, Swipers, Crest, Oral-B, Scope, Fixodent & Glide.

Shelf price of Align was 29.99 when I looked. It shows as 28.99 in their online store. 28.99 is advertised week of 3/7-3/13. Maybe we’ll get lucky and it will go on sale the last week or so.

(1) Align 28.99
-(1) $5 Align manu coupon (2/7 P&G insert)
-(1) $5/20 or 5/25 RA VV coupon
18.99 oop, get $10 align SCR, and 28.99 toward P&G

If the Gillette Sating Care double dips as well you can toss that in to finish the P&G. A few scents are on unmarked clearance (avocado is the one I bought for 1.49, get $1 SCR).

Should be free or a moneymaker after both rebates clear. Which is pretty good since this stuff has been $20ish since it came out.

Nature’s Bounty Vitamins & Supplements BOGO

Nature’s Bounty goes on sale but one get one FREE at alot of retailers. Any time a products goes on sale for bogo FREE its a good chance to get it cheap or free by using two coupons while paying for only one item at full price.

This week they are on sale bogo FREE at Rite Aid. Prices range from just over $4 to over $40 for the fancy stuff. Average prices are in the $4-14 range. They also qualify for the Heart Smart rebate that is running over several months at RA (buy $25 get $10, buy $50 get $25). This is the perfect week to get the rebate done for little or no out of pocket expense.

Nature’s Bounty has a rewards program which allows you to enter the information from the bottles to gain points which can be put towards the ability to print out coupons. When you sign up you get access to a $2 coupon immediately.

So what we are going to do is pair the bogo free, $2 coupon (you can print up to 6 by using the back button after printing the first one), and a $/$$ RA coupon (currently available are 3/15, 5/20 and 5/25).

Results may vary as to using more than one similar RA coupon. You may also not be able to use more coupons on the NB than they are worth. You may also be in the Wellness + areas or be able to use their coupons. You may then be able to use the $2 wellness coupon instead of the $1 RA VV coupon. If any of these is the case it may be a bit more oop or you may need to purchase different things.

$15 transaction:
(4) NB items (4.99 for our math)
(1) Proantinox UTI treatment (6.99)
-(4) $2/1 NB coupons
-(4) $1 NB VV coupons
-$3/15 RA VV coupon
1.97 oop, get back $6 Proantinox SCR (plus 9.98 toward the Heart SCR)
4.03 net profit

$20 transaction:
(8) $4.xx items (4.99 for math purposes)
(1) Anti-monkey butt (3.99)
(1) Listerine pocket packs (3.99)
-(6) $2/1 NB coupons
-(2) $1/1 NB coupons (www.coupons.com normally has these or some bottles have peelies)
-(8) $1/1 NB RA VV coupon
-(1) 5/20 RA VV coupon
.94 oop, get back $3 monkey butt and $3 listerine SCR (plus 19.98 towards Heart SCR)
5.06 net profit
