Easy Deal of the Week: Penny Glue at Staples

Don't say that a penny doesn't buy you anything!

I always seem to see pennies lying on the ground, and if I didn’t worry about what kind of germs they might be harboring I might just pick them up because now I know a penny really can buy you something! Head to Staples this week to buy school glue for just a penny. Each customer is allowed to buy two bottles at a time. While we were there we picked up some other deals that were just a quarter and we’ll be donating it all to local school supply drives. Have fun!

Easy Deal of the Week: Free Bengay Pain Relief + Massage

Here’s an easy deal for Bengay Pain Relief + Massage. Head to Walgreens with this printable coupon for $5 off any Bengay product. You should be able to print two. These are on sale for $4.99 at Walgreens which means you should be able to get them for free. You may need to purchase a filler item like a piece of candy since the coupon value is actually greater than the product price.

Easy Deal of the Week: Free Ecotrin

It’s time to stock up on pain reliever! The title of this post isn’t actually accurate because this Ecotrin is better than free. You can actually make $2 on each bottle of it at Walgreens this week. Print off these $2 off coupons for Ecotrin.  You should be able to print it twice. I had three $2 off coupons and the bottles of Ecotrin are on sale for $2 at Walgreens. Plus when you buy them you’ll get $2 in Register Rewards. I had to pay $.12 in tax for each transaction. Make sure you ring them up separately because otherwise you won’t get all of your Register Rewards! I plan to donate mine because I already have plenty of free pain reliever from past transactions. You should have enough free pain reliever to take care of all of your headaches this summer. :-)

Easy Deal of the Week: Five Free Bottles of Old Spice Body Wash

That's Almost $30 Worth of Old Spice!

I hit Walgreens to pick up my Sunday paper and scored almost $30 worth of free Old Spice products. I used three coupons from the 5/2 PG insert to make this awesome deal happen. This week Old Spice body wash is on sale for $4.49 and you’ll get $4.50 in Register Rewards when you buy one. I used two buy one get one free coupons to get four free bottles. Then I used another coupon that gave me a free deodorant when I bought another Old Spice body wash. I had to ring this up in three different transactions and I ended up with five free body washes and one free deodorant worth nearly $30! I’ll be donating some of this, and the rest should keep my husband stocked up for a while.

Print this twice! Then head to Walgreens where Scrubbing Bubbles is on sale, buy one get one free this week. With very little work you will get four free bottles of Soft Scrub. That’s $15.96 worth of cleaning supplies for FREE. While I was at Walgreens I also picked up a can of EOS moisturizing shave cream for @2.99 and got $2.99 back in Register Rewards, making it free as well. Not bad for a few minutes of work!

Free Di’Giorno Pizza and an Excuse to Host a Party

A few weeks ago I signed up for an account at HouseParty.com. I applied to host a Di’Giorno Pizza Party and I was selected! They sent me lots of great freebies and coupons to give to my party guests, plus six coupons for free pizza!

It was so fun to go to the grocery store and walk out with $48 worth of food without paying anything! About 20 people ended up coming to the bash.

They all got to try Di’Giorno’s new Pizza and Breadsticks combo packs and everyone seemed to enjoy the free food! I’ll gladly host more parties if it means I don’t have to cook!
