Earth Day special coupons and discounts!

Just because it is Earth Day, it doesn't mean you don't get to have fun shopping!

We already mentioned the free medium beverage at Peets Coffee shops with purchase of environmentally-friendly products.

But there's more! Walgreens is giving away free green bags with purchase! These are reusable totes, bright green but actually they are quite nice. Perhaps good to carry on cloudy and foggy days so cars can see you from a distance :-) You can get the coupon from their website or if you are in any of their mailing lists, check your email for a link to the coupon!

We will have more updates as we discover more exciting Earth Day specials!

Hot deal: Walgreens Register Rewards are awesome this week!

Even if you hate the nice mail-in rebate deals this week at Walgreens, you will be thrilled by the Register Rewards deals that are running this week.

Register Rewards are ideal for regular Walgreens customers. They are like a rebate, but instead of you having to mail-in the rebate, and wait for the check to arrive, the register reward coupon prints at the checkout register when you pay for the item. So you can use your rebate at any time. You can even take your items to the car, and walk back in. These rebates are usually good for about 2 weeks from printing, so don't forget to use them before they expire.

Having said all that, these are GREAT if you buy stuff at Walgreens regularly.


This week's Register Rewards specials

+ Colgate 6oz MaxWhite or MaxFresh toothpaste, gives you a $3.50 Register Reward, even though the price you pay is $3.29. Nice!!!

+ Blink Gel Tears (moderate+) or Blink Tears (mild) gives you an $8 Register Reward

+ the Register Rewards are usually good for two weeks after printing. Check the expiration date on yours and make sure you use it!

We hope you find this useful and if so, please tell your friends about it!

Free in the Sunday paper (June 29 to July 5)

Welcome to a new edition of the Free After Rebate in the Sunday Paper! We have some nice goodies this week, so be sure to pay attention!


Two freebies at RiteAid
And they are nice deals too! Both qualify for the Single Check Rebate program, so you can submit them online, without needing to mail-in receipts or anything else. Nice! A new rebate-month starts today at RiteAid so be sure to remember to process your June 2008 rebates as well.

The two free items are the Giovanni Shampoo and Conditioner, priced at $7 before the rebate. This is a sleek-looking bottle, and looks like something you would get at a hair products store. These are 8.5oz bottles. Do note that this is a three-day rebate, so you have until 7/1/08 to get it. It won't last for the whole week!

Next up something for men, $6 before the rebate, either a 6oz Oxy Face Wash or a 5.2oz Oxy Shave Cream. This is a brand new item, and it's good for the whole week, but don't sleep on it, because they may run out of store. The better the deal usually, the faster they run out of stock!


Free Software after rebate at Staples
If you don't mind mail-in rebates and such, you can get the Norton Antivirus 2008 free after rebate at Staples. Do note that this requires mail-in rebates through Norton, and it's not necessarily going through the nice EasyRebates program of Staples. Be sure to check their website and circular ad for more details!

This software package is good for one-PC. Some other packages may be good of up to three PCs. Oh these crazy software peoplez are confusing us!


Free at Walgreens
A new rebate-month starts at Walgreens today, so be sure to remember to process your June 2008 EasySaver catalog rebates. Walgreens only gives us one week, they expect them to be postmarked by Saturday July 5, 2008, and with the 4th of July holiday, you'd better get them out of the way on Monday!

Anyway, back to this week's freebies, Walgreens has a 99c rebate that makes the Hebert's Fully Loaded Bar free after rebate. They have two flavors, Dark Turtle or Rocky Road. The packaging is colorful and rather unique, so it's hard to miss. These are candy with an attitude! No more generic wrappers :) The bars are 2.75oz. Dark Turtle as the name suggests has dark chocolate so you can consider that a nutriotional supplement :)

Also free after mail-in rebate using the rebate on the package (not the EasySaver catalog) is the FreeStyle Lite glucose monitoring system. Limit one rebate. The price you pay is $10, and after you submit and receive the $10 mail-in rebate on the box, the item becomes FREE. Of course none of the rebates refund sales tax, but hey, they help build schools and such :)

Free after rebate in the Sunday paper ads!

It's Sunday again, so let's take a quick look at all the freebies in the Sunday paper! We start with Rite Aid where we find your choice of either a Crest ProHealth Night toothpaste (6oz) or Night Rinse (250ml) for FREE after a $3 single check rebate. Rite Aid rebates can be submitted online, so there is no need to mail receipts or collect and submit UPC codes. That is so last century! This is good for the whole week.

Good only for three days (Sunday, Monday and Tuesday) is the CharlesWorthington of london Big Hair Texturizing Sea Salt spray. Wow what a name! Yours for free after a $5 single-check-rebate at Rite Aid! Remember, this is only good for three days so don't sleep on it!

The last free item from Rite Aid is a traditional mail-in rebate, which you will find on the box of the next item. This is separate from the RiteAid Single checks rebate, so be sure to read the instructions! The item is the Freestyle Lite or Freedom Lite blood glucose monitor, for free after a $10 mail-in rebate.

Now off to Walgreens, where we have one free item, the AccuCheck Aviva blood glucose monitor, free after a $20 mail-in rebate. The rebate is in the product box, this is not part of the monthly Walgreens Easy Saver catalog program, so be sure to read the rebate instructions and follow the necessary steps. You have to mail it in separately and to a different address.

We haven't checked Longs Drugs yet, but if we do find any freebies there, we'll update this post!

Free stuff in the Sunday Newspaper (June 15)

This is a good week for freebies in the Sunday paper! Both Rite Aid and Walgreens are offering a number of good freebies, including a trio of items for people living with diabetes. So, let us take a quick look!


Free after rebate at Rite Aid
Rite Aid rebates can be submitted online, so there is no need to mail-in receipts or cut UPC codes. These are rebates for people who hate traditional rebates.

Free after a $3 rebate is the Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship Shampoo or conditioner. I kid you not, I couldn't even make up that name even if I tried. An LTR with a shampoo? How AOLish :) Limit one per household. Do note that this is only good on the LTR shampoos only, not the whole Herbal Essences line-up!

More hair product, the Organix Shampoo or Conditioner can be yours for free after a $5.49 rebate. This is a 13oz container, and it's good for three days only, June 15 to 17. So don't sleep on this one. Only good for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday!

And now something for parents of young ones, Diapermate Disposable diaper bags, 75 count, for free after a $2.49 rebate. Limit one per, as our most of the Rite Aid rebates.

If you like one-time use film cameras, then cheer! You can get the Fuji QuickSnap for free after a $10.99 rebate. This is 400 speed, with 27 exposures. Limit one rebate. Remember, this is a one time use film camera, not a digital camera!


Free with Register Rewards at Walgreens
Walgreens has two type of freebies, the traditional free after rebate, and the newer free after Register Rewards. Register Rewards are instant rebates that you can use towards your next purchase at Walgreens. If you are a regular Walgreens customer, these are as good as cash. There is a small list of items that you cannot buy with Register Rewards (alcohol, etc), but they are good for most of the stuff in store.

And with that out of the way, you can get the Oral B Cross Action power toothbrush, or replacement brush head, for free after $5.50 in Register Rewards.


Free after mail-in rebate at Walgreens
Walgreens has a trio of products for people living with diabetes. The first two rebates are part of the monthly Walgreens EasySaver catalog rebate program. A 60-ct of Multibetic vitamins is offered for free after a $10 MIR, and a 2oz shot of GlucoShot, available in assorted flavors is offered for free after a $2 MIR. Limit one rebate per item.

The next item has the mail-io rebate on the box, it is not part of the Easysaver Walgreens rebate. You have to submit it separately. It is the Freestyle Lit or Freedom Lite blood glucose system, for free after a $10 separate MIR. MIR being mail-in rebate.

And as a bonus, you will get $4.49 in Register Rewards when you purchase the Freestyle or Freedom Lite, and you can use those on your next in-store purchase of Glucerna cereal (9.5oz or 11.1oz). See store or website for more details!

Walgreens coupon for 15% off order of $50 or more on Taxday!

Walgreens has a new special for Tuesday, April 15, 2008, aka Tax Day! Simply enter coupon code DAY2SAVE when you place your online orders, and voila, you save 15% if your order is $50 or more! A way to "enjoy" tax day, especially if you are not getting a refund!

Walgreens also has a free 4x6 digital prints special, and on top of that there are more free stuff available this week at Walgreens, Rite Aid, Staples, and Longs Drugs. Be sure to check our weekly freebies post for all the details!

Free stuff in the Sunday Paper Ads (after rebate of course)

Welcome to another edition of the Sunday Paper Freebies! In today's episode we have drugstores and Staples freebies! We start with the latter.


Freebies at Staples
Staples uses Easy Rebates, which are the most consumer friendly rebates out there, as you don't need to mail or photography anything. You simply enter numbers from your receipt on the Staples rebates website and thus you submit your rebates!

The freebies are Pentel retractable assorted highlighters or permanent markers. You can chose one or the other. The highlighters are a four-pack of orange, yellow, pink and blue. The permanent markets are blue, black and red. The SKU codes are 698067 for the highlighters and 698057 for the permanent markers. Both are of the retractable variety, working like a pen in that you click it for the writing tip to come out of the shell. The SKU numbers are helpful so you can easily match the offer to the product display at Staples. And you don't need to rely on a CSR to match the offer with the rebate!

Also free, after a $140 mail-in rebate (not Easy Rebate), is the Peachtree Pro Accounting 2008 software package, by Sage. Limit one per customer. You still have to pay sales tax on the whole amount however. Be sure to check the box or the Staples website for more details.


Free after rebate at the drugstores
Longs Drugs is offering the Refresh Dry Eye Trial Pack free after a mail-in rebate using their Longs Rebate Catalog. You assemble all your rebates for the month, and mail them all together in one envelope. The price before rebate is $5, which is what you pay in-store. Plus any applicable taxes of course :)

At Walgreens, free after a on-box rebate (not a Walgreens Easy Saver Catalog rebate) is the Accu-Check Aviva blood glucose meter system. Limit one per person. The rebate amount is $20, which is what you pay in-store. Remember the rebate for this item is on/in the box, not the Walgreens rebate book!

Meanwhile Rite Aid has three items that are free after rebate. Rite aid rebates can be submitted online, which spares you the trouble of making photocopies and mailing stuff at the Post Office! Not to mention that you know within 3-4 days whether your entry was approved. Which gives you plenty of time to fix it or return the item if you accidentally got the wrong one. The three Rite Aid freebies (after rebate) are:

Aquafresh Extreme Clean toothpaste, 5.6 ounces, limit one, price $2.49

Colgate Total Advanced toothpaste, 4oz, limit one, price $2.99

Samy Shampoo, conditioner, or stylers, limit 1, price: $4.99


Free after manufacturers coupon
Rite Aid is offering the Adidas Action 3 antiperspirant/deodorant, 2.6 to 2.8 oz, for $4.99. And if you dig into the coupon section of your sunday paper you will find a coupon for $4.99 off this item. So if you use your coupon at Rite Aid, you will get this item for free. No rebates to mail, this is free after coupon!


Totally Free: 15 prints at Walgreens (on Tax Day!)
As an extra incentive to get your taxes done early, Walgreens is offering 15 free 4x6 prints on Tuesday April 15, 2008. This is unconditional, no rebates, no other purchases. You do have to present a coupon which you can find in the weekly Walgreens circular which is in your Sunday paper, but also in each Walgreens store. You will also receive it via email if you are in the Walgreens mailing list. And you can probably print it from their website as well. It's FREE :) The prints of course are 4x6 digital prints, don't expect to get 15 giant posters for free :)

You can also do this online, promotion code TAXDAY. For online stuff, you can redirect them to your local Walgreens shop or you can get them by mail, which I assume will have the additional cost of shipping and handling.

One roll of film developed free at Walgreens (Wednesday)

Walgreens is continuing with the free theme this week. As you may recall, last week they offered a free ink cartridge refill. This week, they are offering free development of one roll of film on Wednesday April 9, 2008.

As with before, the coupon is available for free in the Walgreens circular which you can find in your sunday paper, in your local Walgreens store, and also in your email inbox if you are subscribed to the Walgreens emails.

The offer applies to 35m film, APS film and one-time use cameras. Limit one roll per customer! This is free one-hour development even, so it's not like you have to wait forever to get it.

Be sure to check the Walgreens site to find participating stores in your region.

No purchase is necessarily, they are using this as a ploy to get people through the door. With digital cameras being more and more popular, and places developing film fewer and fewer, we are guessing they are trying to capitalize on that.

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.

Free Printer Cartridge refill on April 2nd at Walgreens!

Fans of free, we have some good news for you! Walgreens has been sending emails to the people in their mailing list for a free printer cartridge refill special on Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008. Check your emails if you are subscribed to Walgreens specials, or check their website for more details.

The refills are available for the following brands only, Dell, Lexmark, Okidata, HP, Xerox, Sharp and Primera. As you can see it is a pretty nice list as it includes some of the most popular manufacturers, but obviously not all of them as Canon, Brother, and Epson are not on the list. To see the complete list of compatible printers, be sure to check the Walgreens Printer List.

You can print the coupon online but you can also find it in the weekly Walgreens circular ad which can be found in your Sunday paper, but also in your local Walgreens store! Check the Walgreens site to find participating stores in the promotion.

The coupon is located on page #5 of the ad, and the special is only good for Wednesday April 2nd (In Hawaii, the special is valid on Monday April 7). You don't have to buy anything to get this freebie! The promotion goes all throughout the day, obviously during the hours that the store is open. Some are open 24 hours, others are open for fewer hours.

The value of this freebie is $10 for a black refill and $15 for a color ink refill, but on that very day you are getting it for free. It is probably Walgreens way of introducing this service to the world and getting repeat customers. A risky perhaps strategy since many people like FREE :)

The terms on the coupon state one refill per person per household, and other restrictions and such may apply.

Free after rebate in the Sunday paper ads this week (March 9 to 15, 2008)

Let's take a quick look at what stuff we have free after rebate in this week's Sunday paper circular ads! The deals are good March 9 through close of business on Saturday March 15, 2008; or while supplies last!

Walgreens offers the Listerine Smart Rinse, 8.5 oz, free after mail-in rebate through their Easy Saver Catalog. The price you pay is $3.49 plus tax. The tax is not refundable.

Also offered free after mail-in rebate, and the rebate is on the box of the product, not in the EasySaver catalog, is the Accu-Check Compact Plus or Aviva Blood Glucose Meter. Limit one per person. The price you pay is $20.

Meanwhile at Rite Aid, you get the Schick Quattro Titanium Trimmer or Quattor Titanium Razor for free after a $9 manufacturer's mail-in rebate found in most of the coupon sections of your Sunday paper. This is not a rebate from Rite Aid itself. Check the coupon section of your Sunday paper for it!

If you find this helpful or interesting, be sure to share it with your online and offline friends, and add it to your online bookmarks!

Free after rebate in this week's Sunday paper

Hello fans of freebies! Let's see what we have in this week's Sunday newspaper ads. FREE is good! We like FREE! So let's get started!

First up, not rebates, but rather Cash Register Rewards at Walgreens. These are better than rebates, since you receive them at checkout, and can use them the next time you shop. They do have their restrictions, but if you are a regular shopper at Walgreens, or if you can find something to buy there (they do have a variety of items), then it's a good deal. Lots of soaps this week. Details here.

Staying at Walgreens, and using their new March 2008 EasySaver rebate catalog, you can get FREE after mail-in rebate the following three items: $13 rebate will make the Garnier Nutritioniste Skin review free. The packaging looks nice too, with the bright green and black. And FREE feels better :) And your teeth will feel better when you brush them with the free after $3 rebate Colgate Total Advanced toothpaste. It won't taste good - very bland taste - but it tastes FREE :)

The last item is an $8 rebate, and gives you Nature Made Liquid softgels - vitamins or supplements. This is good for 60ct to 100ct. Be sure to check the rebate book and the available selection so you can get the right item. There are softgels, liquid gels, tablets, caplets, craplets, and such ;-)

Also free after a $10 mail in rebate is the Green Dot PRePaid Vista or Mastercard card, but beware! These have monthly fees regardless of usage, so only get them if you can't get a regular gift card or other Visa or Mastercard card.

And the last free after rebate item at Walgreens is the One Touch Ultra 2 blood glucose testing system. Limit one free. The rebate is not part of the EasySaver catalog, but rather you have to use the rebate on the box of the Ultra 2.


Rite Aid
And now to Rite Aid! A combined rebate, both the Rite aid rebate and a coupon in the coupon section of the Sunday paper will magically convert the Mach 3 disposable razors into FREE (eventually). It's a $3 coupon and a $3 rebate. You will receive the $3 Single Check rebate from Rite Aid after you submit your March 2008 rebates and of course the coupon discount will be applied right away.

The good thing with the Rite Aid single check rebates is that they can be submitted online, and there's no need to xerox and mail receipts and forms and such. How 20th century! Do it all online! Well done Rite Aid!!!

Also free after a combined $6 Single Check Rebate and a $4 coupon from the Sunday paper coupon book is the Gillete Venus Embrace green razor for dramatically smooth skin. Limit one item for coupon purposes. Five bladed are included in the package.

And this concluses our freebies segment. Did we miss anything? :)

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.

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.
