FREE Swiffer Dusters Extender and Refills - with a small MM @ Wal-mart

I found this deal at Wal-mart yesterday and was really excited about it (I know, it doesn't take much to get me excited about a deal!).  I love the Swiffer Dusters, they are the best for dusting.  I was very low on refills for my Swiffer Duster, so I have been keeping my eye out for a deal.  Nothing has been really great so I was just going to bite the bullet and grab some refills at Wal-mart with the $1.00 off  Duster/Sweeper coupon from the P&G yearly coupon booklet.  When I looked around I found something that looked like a deal - this magazine offer was hanging from the handle of some of the Swiffer Dusters Extenders. 

I am loving all these magazine offers lately that give you the option to get a refund for the price of the subscription instead of the magazine itself and I took a chance that this was one of them.  You can't actually read about the BONUS until you cut it in half to reveal your code.  This one gives you that option and it turns out to be a really good one - $12 refund!!

Here's how I worked this deal to get the most for my money, and a small MM to boot!

Buy one Swiffer Dusters Extender $8.97 (make sure it has this tag, not all did)

Buy one Swiffer Dusters Refill $7.97 (my store only had the 10 count boxes)

TOTAL = $16.94

Use $1.00 off any Swiffer Duster/Sweeper on the Extender from the P&G yearly coupon booklet

Use Get a FREE Swiffer Duster refill WYB Swiffer Dusters Extender Kit (up to $4.99 value) from the 1/30 PG insert (this expires on 2/28 so hurry!)

Now your total is down to $10.95, submit for the $12 subscription refund by 3/31 and you have yourself FREE Dusters and an Extender plus $1.05 MM (not including tax). 

A few notes, the Extenders are hanging up above the Swiffer products at my store, I had a hard time finding them at first because I wasn't looking for them hanging up.  Also, my store only had the 10 count refill boxes for $7.97 and the FREE coupon only allows for $4.99 off.  If you can find the smaller $4.99 boxes you will have yourself a bigger MM.   IF you do find the smaller boxes, stop back and let us know what store you located them at. 

Walgreens MIR's

Did you send in for any of the Wags MIR's that they started offering recently?  The first ones I sent in for were the Neuragen and the Similasan MIR's and I am happy to report that both of those came in the mail this week.  You can see my original post on these two here.  I was very happy to receive these since both of them were MM's!  The Neuragen was a $10 MM and the Similasan was a $1 MM - a little extra cash just in time for the holidays!  Neuragen even sent me a $10 coupon with the rebate check!  Keep watch on your mailbox if you sent these in, you should be getting them any day. 

NOTE: the rebate amounts on both of these were NOT reduced by the $ amount of the manufacturer coupons - I received the full rebate amount even though I used the coupons.

New Olay Rebate

We have ANOTHER new Olay rebate, and this one includes other P & G products as well.  This may work out great with some of the Black Friday products at Wags.  Here's a link to the rebate.  This is a $20 rebate wyb $50 in Olay, Venus, Covergirl, Secret, Pantene, Herbal Essences or Clariol between 11/23 & 12/31.   Have fun with this one!

Olay Products on Sale at Target

Deb mentioned the get $20 when you buy $50 worth of Olay rebate here. Here's how to make this one into a money maker .... This week Olay products are on sale at Target and you also get a $5 gift card for every 2 you buy, so ... buy 8 Foaming Facewashes ($3.50) and 8 Refreshing Toners ($2.84) which will equal $50.72. You will get back $40 in gift cards for buying 16 products and when you submit for the $20 MIR, it will be a $9.28 MM. Other types are also on sale, so check the isle for other products you might use as well.

Note: The signs were not up indicating the Toner as part of the sale at my Target on E State, but I had them scan it at the register and it is included.

Also Note: There are coupons out for Olay Facial Cleanser or Moisturizer ($1/1 in the 10/10 PG and 10/31 PG), but they will only work if you understand how to avoid the register GLITCH (This is the best explanation I have found from Totally Target). The coupons will make this a bigger MM, so if you want to use them, I suggest taking your receipt and coupons directly to customer service after checking out and having them apply them as 'forgotten coupons' rather than dealing with the hastle of the registers.

New Olay Rebate

Olay sure is generous with the rebates! Here's a link to a $20 rebate wyb $50 worth of Olay Facial Moisturizers, Facial Treatments and/or Facial Cleansers. All purchases must be made by 1/31/2011.

Keep your eyes open for a great sale and coupon match up to really make the best of this one!

Walgreens 10/24 thru 10/30

Hello frugal friends!  Walgreens has some good money makers this week on things that my family actually uses so this makes me a happy camper.  I have a MM offer for 4 of my frugal friends so keep on reading! :)

The first MM you will find is on Contac Cold and Flu.  It's on sale this week for $6 and you get a $6 RR in return for purchasing it - FREE cold & flu medicine going into the cold and flu season is a good thing.  Stock up on what you think your family might need for the entire season.  You will want to use the $2 off printable manufacturer coupon found here to make some moo-lah on this one.  Remember you can print it twice per computer.  (sorry, it looks like this print may have met it's max already!)

The next MM is on Colgate Sensitive toothpaste.  I am all over this one because this is my toothpaste of choice!  It's on sale this week for $3.49 a tube with a $3.50 RR in return.  Use the $1.00 off coupon from the 10/10 SS, .75 off coupon from the October ALL YOU or the .$1.00 off printable manufacturer coupon here and make an extra .75-$1.00 on each one you "buy".

Mentos gum is on sale for .99 each with the in-ad coupon.  Use the $1.00 off manufacturer coupon from the 10/3 SS (there's TWO coupons on this page!) to turn each bottle into a .01 MM.  We go through tons of gum in our family so I am loving this one also!  FREE gum is good, but when you can turn it into a MM that's even better.  Make sure you hand over the manufacturer coupon first and then the in-ad coupon otherwise the register will beep and cause cashier confusion!

If you need more gum, there is another good deal on Trident but it's not a MM.  I did get in on this one also because Trident Layers is my kiddo's favorite gum.  It's also on sale for .99 a pack with the in-ad coupon.  Use this .75 off printable from Facebook here, the $1.00/3 coupon from 9/12 SS or the $1.00/2 from the 10/24 SS.  Remember you can print the Facebook coupon more than twice if you log into your Facebook page on a different computer.  These will cost you any where from .24 each to .65 each depending on which coupons you use.  Don't forget to have the cashier scan the in-ad coupon.

This week Wags is doing something a little different.  There are three products that are FREE after mail-in rebate.  This mail-in rebate form prints out at the Catalina machine just like an OYNO does.  At first I wasn't too excited about these because you don't get your money back immediately in the form of a Catalina and you have to wait for your rebate.  You are also limited on the # of offers you can purchase by how many addresses you have to send rebates to.  Too much work for me for a FREE item BUT, once I searched around and found a $1.50 off coupon for the Chestal cough syrup I changed my mind a little bit.  That quickly turned this FREEBIE into a MM!  The coupon is in the 1/24 RP insert.  If you have not been couponing for a long time you probably won't have this insert in your stash so here's where my offer to you comes in.  I had 7 of these coupons but I only have 3 addresses to mail in rebates to.  That leaves me with 4 extra $1.50 off coupons.  The first 4 local frugal friends to leave me a comment or send me an e-mail telling me that they will use these coupons will get them.  One coupon per friend so we can spread the coupon joy around!  Good Luck! :)

New Olay Rebate

There's another great Olay rebate available.  Go here to print a form for a $20 rebate with the purchase $50 in Olay facial moisturizers, cleansers or treatments.  All purchases must be made by September 3, 2010.   Rebate submissions must be postmarked by September 17, 2010.

Now go work your magic and find a great sale and coupons to use for this submission! :)  Don't forget about the three $5 off coupons in the P & G Year of Savings coupon booklet. 

Reminder: Rebate Deadline - Swiffer Refill Rebate

If you are submitting a rebate request for the Swiffer Refill Rebate the envelope needs to be postmarked by 7/30/10.  I didn't make it to the $20 threshold for this rebate so if there's anyone out there that could use my receipt toward the rebate I would be happy to give it to you.  My one lonely receipt has $4.99 in Swiffer refills so if you are just a little short this may help you out.  The receipt goes to the first person to contact me.  You can leave a comment, e-mail, call or text me. 

Olay Regenerist Rebate Deal

Last night, while I was watching TV and organizing my coupon binder I ran across some coupons that will make the Olay Regenerist Rebate Deal at Wal-mart a bigger MM.  Here's my original post:

"Then there's an Olay deal that I snagged today. Some Olay Regenerist products are $6.27 at Wal-mart. Grab three $6.27 Regenerist cleansers (facial wipes or squeeze tubes) and then any three other Olay cleansers. Use three $3.00 off one Olay Regenerist Facial Moisturizer or Cleanser from 7/4 PG and three BOGO Olay facial cleanser (up to $6.99) from 7/11 SS. The total for this comes to $9.81 (tax not included) and then you can submit for this $10 Olay rebate. FREE Olay!"

To really rock this deal you could substitute  the three $5.00 off any Olay Regenerist FC/FM coupons that are in the P & G Year of Savings coupon booklet for the $3.00 coupons in my post above.  Using these three would have you pay $3.81 OOP for all those products above and then you could submit for the $10 Olay Rebate.  Turns it into a $6.19 MM!  One of these coupons expires on 7/31 so if you are going to grab this one you have to do it soon to get the most for your money.

I already did this deal with the $3.00 coupons so I missed the boat on this one, but I hope you can still take advantage of it!

FREE Insulated Lunch Tote & Wal-mart Deals for 7/22

Wal-mart has Arctic Zone insulated lunch totes for as little as $3.00 each.  Here's how you can get this FREE and turn it into a MM. 

Inside these lunch totes are some coupons and a bonus offer for a six-issue subscription to Parents Magazine.  If you read the fine print of the magazine offer you can choose to get a "refund" for the subscription in lieu of the six free issues.  You just follow the instructions on the card and mail it in.  You will receive a $4.96 refund by mail making this a $1.96 MM!  The $3.00 lunch totes are pretty small so if you need something more substantial in size you can upgrade to the $6.00 lunch tote, then you end up paying $1.04 after the refund/rebate.  If you need more than one and have an extra address you can use for rebates make sure you split out into two transactions.  I found these in the front aisles by the school bags, backpacks and school supplies and they do come in a couple colors. 

I have read on some of the money saving blogs that this same deal works over at Target with their lunch totes.  Just make sure you check inside to be sure your coupons and Parents offer are there. 

Here's the coupons you will find inside:
$1.00 off Flintstones Multivitamins
$5.00 off Leapster 2 learning game or any Leapster game
$1.00 off 3 Horizon Organic Single Serve milk
$1.00 off 2 Yoplait products
$1.00 off 2 Bumble Bee
$1.00 off 2 Dole Fruit Bowls 

Also at Walmart, if you have the August issue of All You there's a $1.00 off White Cloud coupon in there (it's a card insert that you pull out).  Wal-mart sells the 4 double rolls of White Cloud for $2.00 each.  Use this coupon to get 4 double rolls for $1.00 or .25 a roll.  .25 for a double roll is the price that I aim for when buying toilet paper.  The August issue of All You is not on the shelf yet so you will only have this if you get the subscription delivered to your door. 

Next I want to remind you that the $1.00 off any Tide coupon from 7/4 PG will expire on 7/31 so if you aren't going to use the coupon on a larger size bottle, grab the .97 travel size tide for a FREE load of laundry with .03 overage. 

Then there's an Olay deal that I snagged today.  Some Olay Regenerist products are $6.27 at Wal-mart.  Grab three $6.27 Regenerist cleansers (facial wipes or squeeze tubes) and then any three other Olay cleansers.  Use three $3.00 off one Olay Regenerist Facial Moisturizer or Cleanser from 7/4  PG and three BOGO Olay facial cleanser (up to $6.99) from 7/11 SS.  The total for this comes to $9.81 (tax not included) and then you can submit for this $10 Olay rebate. FREE Olay!

Reminder: Rebate Deadline - Swiffer Refills

This is just a friendly reminder for the Swiffer Refill Rebate.  If you were planning on sending in $20 in receipts for the $10 rewards card, your receipts need to be dated by June 30th - that's next Wednesday.  The submission has to be postmarked by 7/30/2010.

I am a little behind on this one, I only have $4.99 toward my $20.  Does anyone see a great deal on any Swiffer refills so I can get another $15.01 in receipts?  I have all the Swiffer products (and LOVE them!) so any refills would be great - although I am stocked on everything!

BenGay Pain Relief + Massage MM!

Sign up over at the BenGay website to print a $3.00 printable coupon off the new BenGay Pain Relief + Massage product (excludes trial size).  Pick this up at either Wal-mart or Walgreens for under $5.  This is on a MegaSaver at Walgreens for $4.99 thru the end of the month, and the regular price at Wal-mart is about $4.97. 

Save that receipt and mail it in with the rebate form from the 6/20 RP to get a full refund back (up to $8.99).  The rebate turns this into a $3.00 MM!  Receipt must be dated between 6/20 & 8/20 and postmarked by 9/20. 

If you originally signed up to print the $5 coupon at the BenGay website that I mentioned here you can  still get this $3 coupon.  Just sign up again and it takes you to the coupon print.  :)

Schick Hydro Razor MM @ Wags!

This week (6/13-6/19) the new Schick Hydro razors are on sale for $7.99 with a $4 RR.  If you use the $4 off coupon in the 6/13 SS you can get these for FREE.  To make this an even better deal, go here and print this rebate form for the FULL rebate of the price of the Schick Hydro razor!  After you fill in the info for the online form and click the "print form" button it takes a minute to print - probably because loads of peeps are trying to print this awesome offer!

New $20 Olay Rebate

Olay seems to be very generous lately with the rebates!  Here's another new rebate from Olay - this one is a $20 rebate when you purchase $50 in Olay Facial Moisturizers, Facial Treatments and/or Facial Cleansers.  All purchases must be made between April 9, 2010 and May 9, 2010. Rebate submissions must be postmarked by May 21, 2010.

Remember to combine these purchases with a sale and coupons to make a great deal.  I am sure we will see some great match-ups soon that will pair great with this rebate!

Walgreens Pilot Pen MM!

Walgreens has the Pilot brand "Frixion" pens and highlighters on sale this week for $1.19 a pack.  In the April Walgreens coupon booklet there's a coupon for $1.00 off each pack making these $.19 each.  The best part about this deal is that on the back of each pack there's a Refund Form.  The form indicates that if you purchase 1 pack you will get $1.25 refunded, 2 packs = $2.75 refunded and 3 packs = $4.50 refunded.  Today I picked up three packs and paid $.57 (plus tax) and will get back a $4.50 refund! 

Make MORE Money on your Dulcolax!! Cha-Ching!

Over at CW, peeps are reporting that you can turn your Dulcolax MM at Wags this past week into a bigger MM!!  There's a rebate here for $5.00 on Dulcolax Balance.  This rebate form states that it expires on 2/28/2010 but a couple deal seekers over at CW called the Dulcolax customer service at 888/285-9159 and found out that the rebate actually goes through 6/30/2010.  Give them a call and check for yourself if you are skeptical or just take a chance and mail it in - all you have to loose is the postage.

FREE Olay Quench Body Lotion & Olay In-Shower Body Lotion (after Rebate)

Here's a rebate to get a free Olay Quench body lotion (purchase dates 3/19-4/16). 

Next week (3/21-3/27), Walgreens will have the Quench Body Lotion on sale for $7.99 with a FREE bottle of Olay Quench In-shower Body Lotion with the purchase of the Quench Body Lotion. 

You can use coupons on this to make it a sweet deal.  There are coupons in the 2/14 RP for $1.00 off Olay Facial Moisturizer, Facial Cleanser, Body Wash, In-Shower Lotion, Bar Soap or Hand & Body Lotion (except 30 ml size) & 3/7 PG for $1.00 off Olay Quench Hand & Body Lotion (excludes trial size).  So, get both In-Shower Lotion and Quench Body Lotion for free (after rebate) and make $2.00 in the process.  YAY!

2 FREE Organic Shampoo & Conditioner @ Wags

Walgreens has a sale going on right now for B1G1F on all Renpure organic shampoos and conditioners.  The regular price for these is $6.99 each.  Hanging from the bottles are "Try Me Free" tags.  Buy two for $6.99 (1 @ $6.99 & 1 FREE with sale) and then submit the rebate form for the full $6.99 back.  All you pay is tax for some really nice organic hair care products!  I haven't tried this shampoo & conditioner yet, but I just love the bottles that this product comes it.  It's shape is different than your standard shampoo bottle and the colors are bright and bold. 

Remember if you have more than one address to submit rebates for you can do this more than once.  Just make sure if you are also buying products for the Olay $15 MIR or the P&G $100 coupon booklet that you check out with seperate transactions or get a rebate receipt. 

Getting Started: Rebate Receipts

I am not a big rebater but when there's a really great, high value rebate I am on board.  Sometimes two great rebates coinside with an awesome sale and that makes it really worth taking advantage of the deal.  I learned something from Mercedes over at the money saving blog Common Sense With Money.    She has an awesome money maker deal scenario listed out on her blog right here and it involves submitting to two seperate rebates.

She posted this information about getting a second receipt for a rebate at Walgreens and I wanted to share it with you.

How to get Rebate Receipt @ Walgreens:


- Tell the cashier in advance that you need the rebate receipt BEFORE he/she starts scanning items.

- Cashier will need to press “Special receipt” button on the LEFT key pad; it’s the middle key on the bottom row. Not every register has this button so ask for the register that has this.

- Cashier will scan the items that need Rebate Receipt.

- Cashier needs to select option “3″ when prompted. This is for rebate receipt.

- When transaction completed, 2 receipts will print.

I am sure that you can get a duplicate receipt at other retailers as well, it can't hurt to ask when you need the "original receipt" for the rules of the rebates on two different rebates.
