Free after rebate in this week's Sunday paper ads

This is a modest week in free after rebate (FAR) items in the Sunday paper circular ads. The drugstores seem to dominate the freebies. First up, Rite Aid offers the Garnier Color Breaks Hair Color, one application, for free after a $5.99 rebate. Also from Rite Aid, Nature's Cure Yeast Infection Treatment, 1 or 3 day package, free after a $16.99 rebate. The good thing with Rite Aid rebates is that you can submit them online. There is no need to cut upc codes or mail receipts and forms. Nice! More details at the Rite Aid site.

Longs Drugs offers a couple of freebies as well, first up the Longs branded Nicotine Polacrilex coated gum, 2mg or 4mg, 40ct, for free after a $20 rebate. Also after a $20 mail-in rebate you can get the Ameal BP Dietary supplement 60ct or 90ct chewable. Ameal helps maintain healthy blood pressure. Longs Drugs rebates have to be submitted by mail, but you don't need to send upc codes.

Walgreens offers $50 in coupons for free just for asking the Walgreens pharmacist about the Walgreens Prescriptions Savings Club. This lets you pay just $13 for a 90-day supply for over 300 generic medications. Free after rebate is the Gilette Venus Embrace Razor, after a $10 mail in rebate. Walgreens rebates have to be mailed in, but you do not need to cut upc codes.

Also free after rebate at Walgreens is the Accu-Chek Ativa blood glucose meter. The mail-in rebate is on the box, not in the Walgreens EasySaver catalog. This has to be submitted separated from the monthly Walgreens rebates. The price you pay is $20. As with all rebates, be sure to make copies of everything you submit, and keep track of the rebates.
