Possible items to give to local food shelves - with ZERO cost to you!

Just a friendly suggestion folks, if you are going to Walgreen’s this week, pick up a pack of the maxi pads that are on sale (Buy for $2, get $2 Register Rewards).  Or, grab the King of Shaves 5 Blade system on sale for $4.99 (you get a $5 Register Rewards back).  If you don’t need them, PLEASE donate them to your local food shelf or shelter.

On that same note, there is currently freebie offers out right now for Poise Hourglass, Playtex Sport, and Carefree pantiliners. Plus, you can request a free FULL DAYS SUPPLY of Members Mark Formula.

Better Than Free Brita Water Pitcher at Walmart!!!!

Do I have a fabulous deal for you!  Right now you can get a 5 cup Brita Water Pitcher at Walmart for around $8.97 (note, Walmarts don't always have consistent pricing, so you could pay more or even less than this price).  Print off this $5/1 Brita Watcher Filtration System Pledge printable.  Then submit for a $10 mail-in rebate.  You will end up being PAID to buy this pitcher after you receive your rebate!  WOOT!

(Thanks, Pocket Your Dollars!!)

Total Spent (Before Tax) = $10.95

Transaction 2

Monday, September 26, 2011

Please request and then donate these freebies to a food shelf!

Many of these products are in great need at local food shelves and shelters.  So, if you don't need them for yourself, please consider requesting and then donating these products. 

Poise Hourglass Pads

Playtex Sport Tampons

Simply Right Baby Formula (they send an entire days worth of formula!!!)

Carefree Panitliner

Get $4.12 plus 48 free razors at Walmart

This is an awesome deal and I just HAD to share it!  There is currently a $6/2 Schick Disposable Razors coupon on coupons.com.  Print this coupon and head to Walmart.  There should be 12 packs of razors for $1.97 each.  Because Walmart gives overages, after buying two 12 packs, you will have $2.06 to use for other items at Walmart.  PLUS, did you know that you can print two of these coupons off?  So technically, you should be able to get 48 FREE razors and $4.12 in overage!  Be aware that this is a super hot deal, so they may have a hard time keeping these razors in stock.
