Free Cereal And More

The only thing better than getting freebies in the mail is when you find a really good printable coupon and can get a full size sample of the product while you are out doing your grocery shopping. Here are two printable “free after coupon” offers and one “nearly free”. 

Kashi is offering a printable coupon for $2 off one of their products when you join the Kashi community. I used the coupon to buy a box of Go Lean Crunch from Wal-Mart and after the coupon only paid 50 cents.

Kraft is offering a printable coupon for $3 off LiveActive Cereal.  The cereal is priced at $2.98 at Wal-Mart so you will make a few cents. Also, I was able to print out two coupons.

Excedrin is offering a printable coupon for $2 off Excedrin Migraine 24 ct. or larger. Through Saturday CVS has this product on sale for $1.99, so after coupon it is free! I was also able to print out multiple coupons.

You Can Still Afford To Dine Out

* This offer has ended.

I love going out to eat: somewhere nice, somewhere fast, or just somewhere for dessert. As long as I get out of this house and don’t have to cook I am happy. As often as I want to go out, with the rising cost of food and gas I have to find ways to save money.

Check out the Irish-themed restaurant Bennigan’s and sign up to join their club. They send many coupons throughout the year that include buy 1 get 1 free entrees or your choice of a free appetizer or dessert. They also send email updates on restaurant promotions like $5 burger days.  The restaurant in our area had a kids night where with the purchase of an adult entree your could receive up to 2 kids entrees for free. I could not find any information on the website about this so check your local Bennigan’s first.

A Book Full Of Savings

* This offer has ended.

Visit Entertainment.com to buy a 2008 Entertainment Book right now for only $9.99, with shipping as low as $2.49.  These books sell for as much as $30.00 in my area when they are first issued.

The books are sold by city and include thousands of dollars worth of coupons for local savings such as dining, shopping, sports, entertainment, services, and attractions. There is also a section of national discounts for travel, theme parks, retail and internet shopping, and more. With the use of just one coupon the book can pay for itself. It is good through the end of October, so there is still plenty of time to save.

TV Freebies

CVS 101

Do you want to get 100% FREE full-sized products from CVS? Do you hear a lot of talk about ECBs and just don’t understand? If so, you are in the right place.

Before You Start – You will need to sign up for a CVS Extra Care card. This can be done in-store or online here. Once you have your card, create an account at CVS.com and register your card. This way you will be able to view your rewards online and earn rewards when making online purchases. It is important to check “Yes” when asked if you would like to receive emails from CVS. This is one way to get the coupons I mention later in this post.

What Are Extra Care Bucks– You earn Extra Care Bucks (otherwise known as ECBs) by purchasing qualifying items. Each time you purchase one of these items and use your Extra Care card, a slip will be printed at the bottom of your receipt showing the amount you have earned.

The slips can be used like cash, though they do have some restrictions: prescriptions, alcohol, gift cards, lottery, money orders, postage stamps, pre-paid cards and tobacco are excluded (restrictions may vary by area) and no cash back can be given if the ECBs you are paying with total more than your actual total.

Remember to save your slips and keep them in a safe place. Each slip has a barcode which the cashier will have to scan when you check out. The barcode links them to your Extra Care account so they can only be used by you with your card. They also have expiration dates, and even though some cashiers can “push through” expired ECBs, you don’t want to risk losing them.

ECB deals can be found in the weekly flyer and list how many of an item can be purchased and still earn ECBs. This limit usually ranges from 1 to 5 of each item. CVS has discontinued the monthly Extra Care Value book and replaced it with a Clip Free coupon book. This book can be found at the front of the store where the weekly flyers are located. Unlike the Extra Care Value book, it is rare for there to be monthly ECBs deals listed in the Clip Free book.

You will also earn 2% of your in-store and online purchases in the form of ECBs and $1 in ECBs for every two prescriptions purchased in-store or online. These ECBs will print out on the bottom of your receipt once every three months. Remember to have your Extra Care card scanned with each purchase or your account with not be given credit.

Coupon Directory

Of course coupons are a great way to save money, especially when combined with sales or rebates, as my regular readers all know. You probably get your coupons from the Sunday paper or in the mail, but there are many more coupons to be found online. In fact, you can get plenty of great coupons that are worth $1.00 or more on some of your favorite brands with just a couple of clicks. Just be sure to buy the cheapest printer paper you can get and stock-up on ink when it goes on sale. You can save 10% off your ink and paper by joining the Staples Reward Program.

Here is my list of places to find printable coupons. Some of these sites I’m sure you’ve been to by now, but some may be new to you.  If there is a quality coupon site you love that is not on the list, or if you find a mistake, please let me know and I will add it!
