Free stuff in the Sunday paper (free after coupon or rebate!)

We all like free, free is good! And this is a good week of freebies in the Sunday paper of March 30, 2008.

We already mentioned the free after coupon special at Walgreens, free cartridge refill today only (Wednesday April 2nd), with a coupon. The coupon is easy to find, it's in the Walgreens weekly circular which can be found in the Sunday paper and in the stores. You can also print the coupon from your Walgreens email specials email, and you can probably find it on their website as well! The value of a black ink refill is $10 and color is $15. There are no prerequisites for this deal, no purchase necessary. They do have a list of printer cartridges that are compatible however, so be sure to check if your printer is in the list.


Two nice FAR Staples Delta Elite pens
Next up we have a nice two-pack of black pens at Staples, free after easy rebate. Easy Rebates can be submitted online, and you don't need to mail anything! The pens are the Staples Delta Elite black pens, retractable, and refillable with Parker-style refills. Limit one per customer. We checked yesterday at our local Staples and they still had some in store. This is Staples SKU number 492989. These are nice pens! And the Staples rebates are fairly fast and reliable!


Six FAR items at Walgreens
Meanwhile at Walgreens, we have six free after-rebate EasySaver catalog specials. We start with what you can eat: a free bar of SoyJoy 1.06oz), free after a $1.39 rebate. These are nice compact nutrition bar, but they are a bit dry and cardboard-y but eating them with a cup of water helps bring out the taste :)

Then at Walgreens we have your choice of Aquafresh Extreme Clean Polishing Action (5.6oz) or Advanced 2X Whitening (6oz), free after the rebate of $3.49. And if you need a toothbrush, after a rebate of $3.99 you can get the Colgate 360 Clean or Deep Clean toothbrush.

Next up, we have Turns Quik Pak (24 pack, Berry Fusion), after a rebate of $4.49. Yum for the tummy when it needs some help? :)

For the cosmetics buffs on a budget out there, the Jane Be Pure Mineral Brush or Kabuki brush is offered, the price before rebate is $4.99.

And last but not least, you can get the Wal-Zyr 24 hour allergy relief (5ct, 10mg), value of $3.99.

If you are not familiar with the Walgreens Easy Saver Catalog, you submit all your rebates together at the end of each month, in one envelope, and there is no need to send UPC codes. You do need to send the original receipts and circle all the rebate items. For all the details, be sure to check the Walgreens Easy Saver Catalog site.


FAR at Rite Aid
RiteAid's rebates are even better than Walgreens in terms of submission. You can submit them online, entering numbers from the receipt, with no need to mail anything in! That is really nice. Then at the end of each month you request your total rebate amonut for the month. More details at Rite Aid Rebate Plus.

This week's FAR special includes the brand "Certain Dri Feet" for free after a $4 rebate. You have a choice of Powder (1.25oz) or Pads (74ct). Limit one rebate per person.

Meanwhile a double $2.50 single check rebate is offered for Lifestyles (12ct) or Excite gel (0.5oz). Limit one rebate!

And more FARs at Rite Aid! Your choice of Neutrogena Triple Moisture Shampoo or Conditioner or Serum. The rebate is $3, but it is doubled, so it becomes free after rebate!

PS> Not free, but of interest to Tom Of Maine fanatics, you can any two items (mouthwash, toothpaste or deodorant) for $5 after a $1 Single Check Rebate.


RiteAid free after on-package mail-in rebates
These are traditional individual mail-in rebates, you have to send individually, by snail-mail and such, may have to send upc codes as well. The rebates are on the package, they are not in the RiteAid catalog.

The items? Accu-Check Aviva blood glucose meter ($20 MIR), Ascensa Contour blood glucose monitoring sytem ($10 MIR), OneTouch Ultra 2 glucose monitor ($30 MIR), and Freestyle Freedom Lite monitor ($30 MIR). MIR of course being the mail-in rebate.
