Free Ice Cream at Shop Rite

Okay ladies – I’m missing my ShopRite this week – not only do the deals overall look pretty good but Laina at Abundant Food Savings is reporting a smart little Catalina deal on Blue Bunny Ice Cream.  I know that you “need” ice cream this summer for the little ones – don’t you??

Buy 3 Blue Bunny Pints priced at .99 each

Pay $2.97

Get back a $3 Catalina

Final cost FREE!  Yep, you read that right --- no coupons, no nothing.  Just free ice cream.

There are also some $1.50 coupons floating around that will let you work the same deal with the cones and individual treats from here

Personally, the pints are easier and would work for me. 

Also – apparently this deal rolls!! (Yes, I know the pun is irresistible – it rocks and ROLLS!!)  Take the CAT and do another deal until either you get tired or the ShopRite manager gives you the old heave ho….

Rite Aid Moneymaker

Apparently Rite Aid has decided not to get left out of the game.  If you already have a Single Check Rebate going for this month (I do, for a change).... MoneySavingMom has a scenario for you.
With absolutely NO COUPONS required --- you'll make a little over $1.00 (heck, without coupons, you're not even working for it)
Then go to MoneySavingMom's other post for some additional ways to make some money at RiteAid this week.
I'm not a diaper gal --- but she's got some diaper scenarios too ---

Head on over to her post and see how to do it --- add one of them to your SCR that you already have going for this month --- and then laugh all the way to the bank.

CVS: Moneymaker Idea

Oh, CVS --- I think the "S" might be for "SWEET"  Once again this week they are offering us a moneymaker deal -- this time to the tune of $5.00.  

CVS is offering $5ECB when you buy $10.00 of Band-Aid, Neosporin or Johnson and Johnson (And believe it or not, the limit on this is 5!!)

CVS carries J&J Travel First Aid kits for $.99 (they're hard to find -- keep hunting)

There was a $1.00 off coupon in the 5/17 RP

So -- round up 11 of the coupons

Buy 11 of the kits --- use the coupons 

Makes the kits  FREE

And after the eleventh kit -- voila --- $5ECB pops out ---- 

The best part of the deal is that because CVS keeps track via the computer and your ExtraCare Card -- you can grab one first aid kit if you see it --- if you don't get all 11 rounded up before the end of the week, you've got yourself some free first aid kits.  If you get to 11 in your gathering process ----- you've made some money.  

Worst case scenario is still a win..... 

Works for me

Thanks to MoneySavingMom for passing this along

Free Starbucks Pastry

Now you know I love my Starbucks (which still astounds most people who know that I can't abide coffee -- I drink their tea lattes!)
And you know I make the most of Starbucks every chance I get (because they're so NOT budget..)
So, you know I was swooning when I came across this deal for tomorrow:
Tuesday, July 21, 2009 (that's tomorrow, right??) from opening until 10:30 am, you can use this coupon here to get a free pastry when you buy any "handcrafted beverage" (that means something they have to actually make at the bar -- rather than just plain coffee)
I'm personally a fan of the new breakfast roll they have out now --- not too sweet and very cinnamon-y.  
Pair that with your black/gold Starbucks card for the discount on that drink and you have a pretty sweet deal.


Thanks to MyFrugalAdventures for finding this terrific deal.

Free Hallmark Card for Mother's Day

Mother's Day is coming up (in case you hadn't noticed) You can create a FREE customized paper card from Hallmark. This is a $3.49 value!

All you need to do is head over to Hallmark, pick out a card that is priced at $3.49 and personalize it. (Watch the price --- this won't work if you pick a card that isn't $3.49, silly) The personalizing is actually kind of fun -- you can play with all kinds of things.

Enter promotional code CARD4MOM when you check out. Your final cost, with shipping and handling, will be $0.

Now, if you're like me, you have a mother and a mother-in-law, both of whom would love cards for Mother's Day and both of whom have a deep appreciation for my skills at hunting down free stuff. So --- there is a second code that will get you a second card --- Wow.
Go to Hallmark and get another free card by using code APRILCARD.

And the best part of all ---- it doesn't have to be a Mother's Day card --- if you need or want to do some other kind of card, they work too.... Have fun. And remember to say "thank you Hallmark" (that was my mom channelling through me!)

Need Pantyhose?? Free??

I found a super note online at PennyPinchingDiva about FREE Ultra Sheer pantyhose at Wal-Mart.

In this Sunday's SmartSource coupon insert, there was a $1.00 off coupon for any No Nonsense product.

At Wal-Mart they have the Ultra Sheer pantyhose priced at $1.00. That is the REGULAR price for these pantyhose, NOT the sale price.

When you combine the coupon with the price, you have free pantyhose.

A Thrifty Mom is also reporting that her packages of pantyhose contained another coupon for $1 off.

RedBox: Free Video Rentals

Please tell me you're not paying for video rentals anymore!! Please, please, please.

Redbox is constantly putting out codes for free video rentals.
I've written about them before and about how incredibly simple and easy it is to rent from them. Around here you can find RedBox vending machines in most of the major supermarkets, and some of the drugstores. They stand either in the foyer/entry area or sometimes are actually outside of the store. They look like giant vending machines and naturally -- they're RED. Here's a picture of one.

These vending machines provide DVDs rather than the usual soda or snacks. You insert a credit card or debit card (so they know who to charge if you abscond with their DVD). Enter one of the free codes and away you go with a free video rental. If you happen not to have a free code, you still will only pay $1.00 for the night's rental. You pay per night, and the free codes are all free for ONE NIGHT ONLY, so don’t be late taking them back!
If you sign up on the site, you’ll get a text message each Monday with a free code for the week. You’ll also get a free code to get you started. Could they be any more generous?Well, actually YES!!! They can and they are -----
For the month of March, they will put a free code on the Redblog every Wednesday. (Today’s code is: 75EA16 )

There are often oddball codes floating around that will also give you a free rental. These will work for anyone, but remember you can only use each code ONCE per credit/debit card.
2FRZEN26 (expires 3/18)

DVDONME

BREAKROOM

These codes are all one use only. You can extend the usage on any of the codes by using different credit/debit cards to swipe --- if you return the DVD on time, there won't be any charges -- so it shouldn't be any problem, just use any card to swipe.

Real Simple Receipt and Coupon Organizer

Free Gift with Purchase
(and you know I'm not actually "purchasing" here)

Here's the deal from Real Simple:
Receive a Real Simple® receipt organizer* by simply purchasing at least one product from the featured brands (Jones NY, Kenmore, Over The Moon Fat Free Milk, Smart Ones, or Triscuit) and mailing your original receipt by April 6, 2009 along with your name and address to: Smart Buys Gift-With-Purchase Offer, Real Simple, 1271 Avenue of the Americas, Room 8-112-C, New York, NY 10020. Please allow 6 - 8 weeks for shipping.
* Offer good while supplies last. Limit one gift per household. Purchase of qualifying product must be made between 2/10/09 AND 3/22/09. Proof of purchase must include the original receipt with the product and purchase date circled and must be received by 4/6/09. Some restrictions apply. Approximate retail value of the receipt organizer is $10.00.

Now, I'm figuring that Triscuits are part of the deal at CVS this week (the coupons specify Wheat Thins and Ritz, but Triscuits are in the deal) -- so that will take care of the purchase of the Triscuits. You only need to purchase one product (they must really want to give this thing away!), so that should do it.

I'm not 100% confident that I even really want this thing, but for the price of a stamp, I'll give it a try out. How about you??? Go ahead, go for it.
