Stock up on Free Water

My fridge is stocked with Sobe water. I’ve got close to a dozen different flavors of the refreshing drink and the best part is that I got it all for free. The 20 ounce bottles of Sobe are on sale, buy one get one free, at CVS. You can easily get your hands on buy one get one free coupons by playing the Sobe heads or tails game online. I’ve won lots of coupons and I had my husband play too so we could get even more coupons. When you combine the sale with each coupon you’ll get two bottles free! Regular price a bottle of Sobe will set you back about $1.50 so that’s a great easy deal… especially for summer!

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.

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.

I hear lots of people say they don’t have time to use coupons. Here’s a deal that took me about two minutes to line up. Just head to SoftScrub.com to sign up for their email list. You’ll get an email containing a link to confirm your registration. Then go back to the website and click on “Special Offers.” You’ll see a Buy One Get one Free Scrubbing Bubbles coupon. 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!

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!

Need something to get you through the next few Mondays? How about free coffee from Dunkin’ Donuts? I picked up my free medium coffee this morning. You can choose between hot or iced. You may want to call ahead and make sure your location is participating. But according to company emails it’s happening all day Monday through the rest of March.

Free and Cute Magazine Storage

Since I’m a freelance writer I subscribe to a lot of magazines. And I buy quite a few, too. The two magazine holders I had in my office were stuffed to capacity and magazines were starting to pile up. I needed additional storage because I like to have a variety of issues on hand for inspiration or to reference.

I had a large flat rate box from the Post Office sitting around because I had written the wrong address on it. I used a box cutter to cut one end off so that it was a great size for holding magazines upright. Then I painted it with a few coats of chalkboard paint and soon I had a new, free way to store issues of Redbook, one of my faves! Don’t you just love chalkboard paint?

My charity purchases for January were down because for half the month my husband and I committed to not spending any money. We called it the Two-Week No Spending Challenge. But before that I managed to pick up a few great deals to donate to a local shelter. I only bought $11.46 worth of items, but I actually earned $1.10 buying it! Here’s what I got at Publix:

2 Bags of Halls Cough Drops: -$.17 each

1 Pack of Dentek Mint Picks: $0

2 2-Packs of Lightbulbs: -$.55 each

1 Box of Whole Wheat Linguine: $.34

Total Cost: $0!

My husband and I are a little over halfway complete with our Two-Week No Spending Challenge. Although we spent $10.12 this morning (I needed some cough medicine bad!) that is the only thing we’ve purchased in ten days! On Friday we went on a freebie hunt. It made for a really fun date of seeing what all we could score for free. Here’s a list of what we got:

* 2 Free 2-liters from Bi-Lo using a coupon I got when I completed this survey about my recent visit to Bi-Lo.

* Free movie from Redbox using code “BREAKROOM”

* Free movie from Blockbuster Express using code “GV9TA4″

* Two free Fresco tacos from Taco Bell using printable coupons.

We will finish our challenge as of midnight on Friday night, but we both agree the Two-Week No Spending Challenge has been a great experience!

A couple of weeks ago we adopted Milo. He’s a six-year-old Corgi/Jack Russell/Pembroke mix. He’s a bit crazy and likes running laps around the house in the afternoon. He plays hard and sleeps in weird positions. But he’s already become a beloved member of our family.

Milo Snoozing in My Office

I just discovered that if you adopted a dog in 2009 you are eligible to receive a month’s worth of free Pedigree dog food. Print out this free dog food form, fill it out and send it in to Pedigree, along with proof of your adoption. We adopted Milo in January of 2010 so I’m not sure if we’re eligible, but I think it’s definitely worth a shot. You must submit your requests for free dog food by February 2010.
