FREE Nivea Body Wash

Last week’s paper had a $4 Nivea women’s body wash coupon in it. It was in the Red Plum insert. If you got the coupon you also got the $3 Nivea men’s body wash coupon and if you were lucky you might have got the $1 Nivea lip coupon or $1 Nivea lotion. Yes, unfortunately it was a regional coupon set. The Portsmouth, NH paper I buy had the body wash but not the others. The Boston Globe had them all. It also had the Purina pet food coupons. But on to the FREE body wash.

This week (5/2-5/8) Rite Aid has the women’s body wash advertised for 3.99. Better yet there is a $5/20 from the Video Values you can use. Buy 4 body washes, toss in something a hair over $5 and pay less than a buck. Great way to get those Single Check Rebates done. Also a great way to buy a Mother’s Day gift (its Sunday), diapers, baby food, or anything else not normally on sale.

Walgreens is having a Nivea sale as well. 25% off and Register Rewards when you buy a certain amount. I haven’t checked the price of the women’s or men’s wash on sale but it should work out to a money maker or even break after coupons and Register Rewards.

Target and Walmart both have the women’s body wash for less than $4. You might even get the penny or two extra towards the rest of your purchase.

All this sounds great right? But beware most places are out of stock. Completely. I only found four bottles of body wash last night between 6 stores. And then only because they were behind some Dove body wash. So get rainchecks from Rite Aid. Ask when deliveries are and plan to get there when they are restocking to help your chances of getting what you want. Just remember that if you take everything they get in (if they are silly enough to let you) the customer behind you will be in your shoes just the day before. Share the deal and leave a couple behind….

And don’t buy some from Ebay unless you are desperate. The prices are so jacked up its criminal.

$1 J&J First Aid Blinkie

While leisurely strolling through the local Shaws Thursday evening (while trying to dry out enough to stop squishing in my sneakers) I went down the OTC med aisle. There in front of the bandaids was a blinkie machine with $1 off any J&J First Aid item (signified by the red cross). There have been several reincarnations of this coupon both in the Sunday inserts and blinkie machines. So long as the denomination works out to at least $1 off one it nets free stuff, overage, etc.

My favorite is the mini first aid kits. They come in a little white plastic box and have a couple items. Not much but a nice thing to toss in a backpack, purse or glovebox. They retail for under a dollar at Walmart and Target. So free first aid kit.

They will also gain you cheap or free gauze, first aid tape in several types and assorted other items depending on where you use them and the sales.

In the past people have used these on non red cross/first aid products. Some people were told this was ok, but the indication is clear from the variety of items pictured that baby wash is not the intended item for discount. There are plenty of coupons for those items without being greedy and pushing the envelope.

So head out and look for these. They don’t expire til 5/31/2010 s you’ve got plenty of time to use them.
