$1/1 Hidden Valley Farmhouse Original Salad Dressing
In a post last week I was telling you guys about the clearance bins that are found in some CVS stores, usually by the seasonal items.
Last night my sister and I took all our cosmetic coupons that we had and took a trip to one CVS.
The bins were marked 75% off and this is what we got:
(4) Rimmel London Blush
orig. $5.49
Less 75%
$1/1 Coupon off Any Rimmel Product
Final Cost 37¢ !!!
(4) Rimmel London Eyeshadow Quads
orig, 6.98
Less 75%
$1/1 Coupon off any Rimmel Product
Final Cost 75¢!!!
(1) Loreal One Sweep Blush
orig. $13.79
Less 75%
$1/1 any Loreal Face Cosmetic
Final Cost: 2.79!!!
The full retail value for all the make up was $65.28 and I paid only $7.33 for all of it. That’s almost 90% off!
The next time you’re off for a trip to CVS, grab your coupons and stop by clearance!
Do you shop on line? Do you get cash back for shopping online? You can with Ebates.
Ebates is basically a marketing tool for the merchants on the internet. The merchants pay a certain percent to Ebates for bringing in your sale and in turn Ebates passes on some of their profits to you. They have over 1,200 stores on Ebates, including many major retail chain stores like Kohls’s, JC Penny’s, Sears etc. At times there are promotions where you can receive extra benefits like free shipping. As a new member of Ebates they are giving $10 gift cards away for Barnes and Noble, Target, Home Depot or Magazines.com. You get to pick which one you want. Here is how it works:
Register for Ebates
Pick a store
Shop
Receive the promotional cash back (each store is different) and you will clearly see what they are offering.
Your cash back is put into your account and they send it in either check form or deposit into PayPal every 3 months. You choose.
They also have a Refer-A-Friend Program when you can make $5 on every friend you send there who completes an order!
After your initial registration, shopping is easy. Just return to their website and continue to shop from there. It really is a very easy way to save some bucks. My last payment was for $18.36!

Tonight is the season premiere of Extreme Couponing on The Learning Channel. This has been a very controversial TV show in the couponing world and has led many of the stores to change their coupon policies. I am looking forward to see what they do with the show this season. It airs tonight at 10pm est on The Learning Channel.

Is your first thought when you see a posting to get a FREE sample, why am I going to waste my time going to a website or a Facebook page and register for a sample that really doesn’t benefit me at all? The truth of the matter is it’s not about the sample for you or the manufacturer. The manufacturer is looking to add you as part of their customer base in order to promote their products. As a consumer you are looking for the benefits the manufacturer can provide. Once you register, you can expect to receive your sample and possibly a coupon. In the future, you can expect to receive heads up on new products/coupons/giveaways. So, these are the benefits, not the sample itself. If you’re worried about getting junk mail, don’t. It ‘s way too expensive for the manufacturers.
It only takes a few seconds (especially when you use Roboform) to register for samples. So go ahead a try a FREE sample and reap the ongoing benefits.
Another advantage of signing up for samples is finding something in your mailbox that’s not a bill!
In the world of coupons and the internet, the reality is that you have to fill out tons of forms to get the manufactures to give up their money saving coupons. Now before you need to go to the doctors with symptoms of Carpel Tunnel Syndrome let me tell you how we fill out forms with the click of a mouse. Roboform. And it’s FREE! You fill out your information in Roboform once and when you need to fill out forms all you do is click on the icon on the toolbar. It is that easy!
We have been using Roboform for about a year and half and would be lost without it. Every coupon/deal we blog about we do ourselves, we spend a good deal of time filling out all kinds of forms. Roboforms has been an invaluable tool to us.
Roboform also can manage passwords, however we don’t use this feature. We try to use the same password over and over for coupon purposes because it would be impossible to remember them. A hint when coming up with a password that will be good for many sites is use upper/lower case letters along with number and make it about 8 characters long.
We would not recommend a product we didn’t trust and we totally trust Roboform. So go ahead and try it. You’ll be amazed at how much time you will save.
Organizing is the key to have coupons work for you to save time and money. Although we are new to blogging, we have been couponing for years. Our method to organize is rather simple and quick. Continue reading »
