FREE Animal Crackers @ Wal-mart

Here's a printable coupon for $2.00/2 Nabisco crackers.  Use these at Wal-mart on the small $1.00 boxes of Barnum Animal Crackers for TWO FREE boxes!!  I haven't tried this since I used my coupons last week at Walgreens for FREE Ritz crackers but I have read this on several money saving blogs.   I wish I had a couple of these coupons left since my son would really like some FREE animal crackers!! 

Alice.com

Alice.com is really an innovative way to shop.  For those that are busy and can't make it out to the stores to take part in some of the great deals that we find, there's still a way save big and have your items delivered right to your door.  On Alice.com you can shop for items that you need and they even have coupons that you can apply to your purchases - no clipping necessary!  You can't use manufacturer coupons that you have clipped but if you check out the "best deals" section you will find items that have coupons to use with your purchase.  The best part is that shipping is always free.  I could see using this service when life gets a bit hectic and you just don't want to make those extra stops for the necessities.  Signing up is free and once you order $50.00 in items you get a $10.00 credit to spend on anything you want or need.  Head on over and create an account to check out some of the prices - you won't be disappointed!

Getting Started: Electronic Coupons

There are several websites that you can access to load electronic coupons to your store shopping cards.  You can do this by signing up at the website and registering your cards.   Then you can browse the coupons available to load to your card.  Once you make your selections, these coupons link to your shopping card and when you make your purchase of these items using your shopping card, the coupon automatically comes off at the register - no clipping necessary.  The great thing about using electronic coupons is that you can also use clipped or printed manufacturer or store coupons on those same items really reducing your out of pocket.  It's about the only time I can think of that you can actually use TWO manufacturer coupons on one item. 

Here's the links to some electronic coupons:

PGeSaver.com
Shortcuts.com
Softcoin.com
Cellfire.com
Upromise.com

The electronic coupons at Upromise work a little differently than the rest.  At Upromise, you load the electronic coupons to your cards and when you buy those items, instead of the coupon coming off at the register, the coupon amount is deposited into your Upromise account. 

You are also going to want to check with your store or shopping card's website to see if they also offer electronic coupons or offers.  One of the cards that I have for Jewel grocery stores offers regular coupons each week and then there is a section of coupons tailored specifically for me and things that I shop for based on my past shopping habits.  I do, however, have to login and update these offers every week because they expire.  They usually run the same schedule as the sale flyer does.

I have added links to these electronic coupons on the sidebar so that they can be easily accessed.

Redbox Movie Rentals

Have you ever rented a movie from Redbox?  I see these all over the place in my travels and have always read about great deals for free movies, but I have never tried one - I think it's about time that I do!  Listed below is an entry from a blog that I read regularly, as well as a few codes for free movie rentals.  You can find the blog here and on my sidebar as Deal Seeking Mom. 

She lists four current codes for free movie rentals:  RBX2NITE, FREE45W, DVDONME  & BREAKROOM.

It looks like she posts these codes every week - very sweet!!  I see lots of free entertainment in my future!

Here's a link to search for a Redbox machine near you and at this site you can also browse movies and reserve your movie right online.

Here's her entry about using Redbox rental machines:

By popular demand, here’s how to use those Redbox free rental codes that I post every Monday! By the way, rentals are only $1 regularly, so this is a great resource for cheap entertainment even without a free rental code!


It really could not be easier. The first thing you should do is find your nearest Redbox using their Redbox kiosk search. From here’s it’s just three simple steps to redeem your free rental code:

Select “Rent with a Promo Code”. You’ll find this option on the opening touch screen in the lower left corner. Now enter your code, of course.

Select your movie. Redbox always has a great variety of choices. You’re sure to find something appropriate for your family, and new releases are added every Tuesday. You can check out the current releases here.

Complete your transaction. You’ll need to enter a credit card to check out, but you will not be charged unless you do not return your movie by 9:00 p.m. the following evening.

Speaking of returning movies, you can return them to any Redbox location! You need not return it to the specific location that you rented it from. They are always due back by the following evening at 9:00 p.m. The good news, however, is that you will never be charged a late fee. You will only be charged for another night’s rental at the rate of $1. This is great for those of us with mommy brain that tend to forget about these things until about 8:59 p.m.

One of my favorite features is the ability to reserve your Redbox movies online ahead of time. How cool is that option?!? Unfortunately it cannot be used with the free rental codes at this time, but I’ll be the first to shout out the news if they ever add it!

Be sure to check back here every Monday for the latest free rental code valid through midnight CST.

HOT TIP! – You can actually use them more than once. The trick is you will have to use a different credit card or debit card for each transaction.

Looking for a free rental code that can be used anytime? I suggest you check out Redbox Insider. They usually have several working codes listed at any given time!

CHEAP Binders @ Wal-mart

While I was at Wal-mart today scoping out some deals, I strolled down the clearance aisle just checking things out.  I found some zippered binders on clearance for $3.00 marked down from $10.00.  These were Mead binders, with a zippered pocket on the front and a zipper to hold it all together.  They were all the way on the top shelf and would have been easily missed with all the other clearance stuff piled up.  These are great for coupon organization.  If you are struggling with how to organize your coupons, read my post here on organizing with a binder.  It's my favorite way so far and $3.00 or less is a great price on these.  If you are thinking about switching over to the binder as a way to hold all your coupons, keep your eyes open at Wal-mart for these. 

CHEAP Ivory Soap Bars @ Wal-mart

There's a $1.00 off Ivory bar soap coupon in the 12/27 PG insert.  Wal-mart sells packages that contain three bars for $1.07.  Not a bad deal for bar soap - we seem to go through bar soap really fast so I was glad to find some really cheap.  The coupon friendly cashier at my Wal-mart commented on this today as she was ringing my transaction and confided in me that she gets a discount that would take .11 off one of these packages making this a slight MM for her!!  I love to see when others help themselves save so much money! 

FREE Downy Wrinkle Releaser @ Wal-mart

There sure seems to be a lot of freebies to be had at Wal-mart lately.  Here's a coupon for a FREE travel/trial size bottle of the Downy Wrinkle Releaser.  I have seen this in the travel/trial section at the store.  Since the coupon doesn't expire until 6/2010 and this coupon is in .pdf format you can print as many as you like and use them over time.  I have not tried this product yet, but I have wanted to so this is a great opportunity to see if it holds to it's promises to get the wrinkles out.

FREE cereal with milk purchase @ Kelly Williamson Mobil

If you live near a Kelly Williamson Mobil gas station you might want to stop there the next time you need milk.  Starting yesterday through February 7th you get a FREE box of Kellogg's cereal with every two gallons of milk you purchase - no coupons necessary!  Kelly Williamson regularly runs this deal, which I love because there is a Mobil gas station where I get my gas right by my son's school.  The way my family goes through milk, we usually end up with loads of free boxes of cereal.

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs DVD & FREE Spot Shot

Here's a coupon for $3.00 off the movie Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.  My son got this book for his birthday and he just loves it so we can't wait to see the movie. 

Wal-mart has the movie for $15.96 which is a great price on a new release, especially when pairing it with the coupon.  To make the deal even better head over to the household aisle where the carpet cleaning solutions are.  Right on the bottles of Spot Shot (aerosol and pump spray bottles) are peelie coupons for a free bottle when you purchse the movie and the Spot Shot together.  It's as simple as that, just purchase both together and you get the Spot Shot for FREE at the register. 

If you can't find the bottles with the peelie coupons, you can clip the $1.00 coupon from the 1/3 SS insert or print one here and then submit for the full purchase price rebate here.  If you do the rebate rather than the in-store freebie this will be a small money maker ($1.00 minus the cost of the stamp). 

I did this today in the store and it worked great, the casher took the whole $3.54 off my transaction when she scanned the Spot Shot peelie coupon.  Can't wait to watch the movie!

***NOTE:  when I opened our DVD case there were coupons and rebates inside.  There is a $1.00 Spot Shot coupon, 2 Chuck E Cheese coupons for tokens and pizza, a $3.00 coupon for The Secret Pirate Island playmobil interacitve DVD and a rebate for $4.00 when you purchase Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs movie and TWO packages of Ronzoni, Prince, Skinner, Creamette or San Giorgio pastas. 

FREE Rolaids, Floss, First Aid Kit and more @ Wal-mart

There's four coupons in the 1/3/2010 RP inserts that will get you some freebies at Wal-mart. 

First, you can get two boxes of FREE Rolaids with the $4.00 off 2 coupon.  Wal-mart carries boxes of Rolaids that contain three rolls of Rolaids - these are priced anywhere between $1.67 and $1.98 per package depending on what kind you choose.  Make sure you have some other items in your cart to use up your overage.

Secondly, there's the Reach coupons for $1.00 off any floss.  Use this and score some FREE floss.  The Reach floss is priced at .97 at Wal-mart.  You'll get .03 overage with this one. 

Next, there's the $1.00 Johnson & Johnson baby product coupon.  Use this on the .97 Buddies Bar to get this free with some change to spare.  (the Buddies Bars are a huge hit with our 5 year old son)

Lastly, in the travel/trial size section you will find the Johnson & Johnson Red Cross first aid kits in a travel size for .97.  Use the $1.00 coupon to get this for FREE with a few cents of overage.

While you are at Wal-mart there's a couple more freebies and great deals that you might want to check out...clip the $1.00 Tide coupon from the 12/27 PG for a FREE packet of Tide from the travel/trial size area and then head over to the batteries for some cheap Rayovac batteries.  The 10 pack of AA batteries are only $4.97 so if you pair them with the $3.00 coupon here you can take home some nice, cheap batteries.
