don't forget about pepsi stuff

Anyone who is doing the Pepsi Stuff Rewards program- don't forget they expire and you will lose all points if not redeemed by the end of this year! I cashed out for a 320 CD holder (figured it'd be great for blinkies, tearpads, oversized Qs) and some headphones.

Each is priced on Amazon at $30 each! I still have a bunch to spend so I hope they update the prizes... but I certainly am not counting on it!

black friday (early) at CVS

edit: round 2 & 3 added! scroll down to view

Yes, that's right- it started at 12 AM Thanksgiving! I was able to hit a 24 hr store and even then some items were already out of stock. Here's what I got (the same items on 2 cards), most are Free After Extra Care Bucks:

2 Aussie $2.99 each - $1 Q = FAECB
2 Colgate Advancedd $2.99 each - $1 Q = FAECB
2 Loreal Lip $6.99 each - $1 Q = FAECB
1 Johnsons lotion $5.69- $1 Q = FAECB
1 Garnier towlettes $5.99 - $1 Q = FAECB
1 Sally Hanson nail polish $3.79 = FAECB
1 Cover girl Liquid foundation $7.99 - $1 Q = FAECB
1 Cover girl powder $5.99 - $1 Q = FAECB
1 Playtex - $1 Q = FREE

all of the items above but the playtex and sally hansen were a money maker because of coupons.
one one card i get $10 off $50 Qs, so my total oop was $.39 after using ECB - my profit on that card was $21.01
on the other card, all i had was a $3 off 15, and i somehow LOST a colgate Q instore... so my total was $1.43 instead of $.43 :( and my profit was $12.01

The store was out of both razors, so I got rainchecks, and I didn't get a few of the items that I knew I didn't need. I ran in to quite a few ladies from HCW- very nice. I think I will head out again today but am in no hurry. I am very happy I was able to roll some big $$$ ECB from previous weeks!

edit: round 2 added!

3 transactions, at 2 stores resulted in the items below and I ended up paying $3.63 OOP with an ECB profit of almost $20!:
am now sitting on ~ $215 in ECB :)

edit: round 3 added!

2 Gatorade
2 Complete Solution
1 Schick Trimmer
2 Duracell
1 Philips Headphones
= OOP of 44 CENTS!

There are a few FREE after ECB items this week - and with high limits per card!

Complete Multi Solution $8.99 - $1 MQ = get $8.99 ECB = $1 profit (limit 5 per card)
Right Guard Pro - $7.99 - $.55 Peelie = get $7 ECB (these are not printing as of today so the cashier ended up giving me $7.99 cash back) (limit 5 per card)
Maybelline Mineral Powder $8.99 - $3 MQ = get $8.99 ECB = $3 profit (limit 2 per card)
Duracell $2.99 x2 - $5 off 2 Q and $.75 c off Q = $.25

This was 2 transactions, and I ended up with about a $28 profit because I was able to use a $10 off $50 Q and a $4 off 20. All in all a great and easy trip to 2 CVS stores!

I know, I know.... as if ANYONE actually needs more air fresheners... LOL! But this deal is far too easy to pass on. Right now the Airwick Minis are on sale for $3, down from $10.99! Amazing deal in itself, but there are $3 peelies ON the products! Making them free while adding to your points towards free cookware!

Do note though, the only ones tagged at my store were the Harvest Spice Scent - the others were $8.99- who knows why....

Randalls free!!

CVS week 11-16

WOW are there some great deals this week!

FREE after ECB Loreal Pro Age - $15.99
FREE after ECB Zantrex (energy drink?) - $4.99
Spend $10 on Glade, get $5 ECB back - (limit 5 per card)
Spend $19.98 on Duracell, get $15 ECB back (limit 3 per card)

here's what I have gotten so far! (the other items were fillers so I could use a few $4 off $20 Qs.)

So to spend $10 on Glade, I used 2 b1g1 Glass scents Qs every time I purchased 4. So i spent $5, got $5. FREE.
You can also use the Q for b1 oil refill (they are $3.99 this week), get 1 oil warmer (so i got the fan priced at $7.99). your OOP on this is just $3.99 and get $5 back- so its a money maker.

Buy 2 16 packs of Duracell at $9.99 each - use two $.75 off MQs, and one $5 off 2 CVS duracell coupon. If you add a filler like the Reeses you can also use a $4 off $20 Q- making this a couple dollar moneymaker! I won't ever need AA's again.... they last til 2015!

hallmark card deal

Posted on 11/19/2008 7:25:29 PM • Comments (0) • Full story

At Randalls (Safeway) right now there is a coupon tearpad for where if you buy any 3 Hallmark cards you can get a free 8 pack of coke bottles or 12 pack of dasani. You can also grab the free plush dog that is free with any 3 cards. It's not free, but if you are going to buy the cards later anyway.... its great! You can even do the deal with the 99 cent cards. I needed some Christmas and birthday cards though, so my total was ~ $6.
