In my mailbox

To all you new couponers out there, be encouraged! Mail in rebates really do work!

Today, in my mailbox, I received a 10.00 gift card to Rite Aid for a promotion they had in their October Single check rebate program; a 20.00 check from Olay for their eye roller deal last month (which double counted for my 100.00 Rite Aid Gift of Savings reward); (2) 5.00 checks from SC Johnson for purchasing candles at Kmart when they had their double coupon days back at the end of September (or was it beginning of October? I can't remember anymore!) I also have my 64.00 Single Check Rebate check from October that's still waiting to be deposited. So that's 104+ dollars I have!! I probably spent about 45.00 purchasing all the goods for the rebates, so for a double profit, that's worth the time spent couponing and shopping, dontcha think?

Oh, also in my mailbox --coupons for fruit from Vocalpoint, my free Shutterfly photo book I ordered last week, and a coupon for a box of free Fruitabu (organic smooshed fruit snacks for kids)!! What a great day :)

Safeway Morningstar and Quaker granola bar Deal

While I was shopping at Safeway today, I came across some new Morningstar recipe booklets which have several 2.00 coupons on the back page. The booklets were on the door in the frozen food aisle. The spinach and veggie nuggets are clearance marked at 2.49, so with the coupon they are .49!

Also, I bought a couple of Quaker chewy granola bars which were priced .99 w/ the Safeway coupon. There is a 1.00/2 m.q. coupon available here
This makes each box just .50 cents. Also, when I bought the two boxes, a Catalina coupon (the coupons that print out with your receipt) printed out w/ my receipt for another 1.00/2 boxes so I can do the deal yet again and stock up on granola bars at a great price!

Target Car seat Clearance

I read about Target having a clearance sale on certain Graco car seats, so yesterday I ran over there and sure enough, I managed to find one on clearance for 12.50!!! The car seat is the Graco Comfortsport. The style I found was Midas. It has also been reported that the Ryder style is also on clearance. I found mine hiding under the displays of baby swings and cribs, amongst other car seats.

Fabulous SC Johnson rebate!

Click here to get the full details, but SC Johnson & co. has a rebate going where if you purchase 3 of the included products, you get a $5.00 rebate. I will be keeping my eye out for the cheapest item matchups for this deal so that it can be a great moneymaker. There is no start date listed so I am guessing the promo is already going. The end date is 7/15/2010 (so there's no rush) ;) and each family can get up to 3 rebates!

I know, I know, who wants a triple flex vitamin supplement sample? I DO!!! I have actually had my eye on these supplements for weeks now, ever since the crackle in my knees has turned up it's volume. Does this stuff work? I dunno, but I'm willing to find out for free! If you want a sample too, just click here!
