A Mail Goodies Update

I haven't posted about my little mail goodies in a while.  They have been rolling in almost everyday.  Here are some pics of a few that have joined the ranks within the last couple weeks.

This is the best goody that has arrived in a long time.  It was a box from Bob's Red Mill.  Four full size bags of quinoa, hot cereal, honey oat granola and 7 grain pancake and waffle mix.  It also included a sample of Almond Butter...YUMMO.  The retail value on this goody is over $10.00.  

Next week, cam this little gem...2 q's for 2 free  twix bars and $1/1 gallon of milk.  We drink about 5 gallons of milk a week in our house....and milk q's are far and few, so I was ecstatic when this one arrived:)

This isn't really a coupon (but does come with some discount perks...lol)  I finally drank enough coffee using my re-loadable Starbucks card that I have now received my GOLD card....totally geeked about this:)

These goodies all came yesterday.  I got some Bath & Body Works q's. a free Swiffer Duster 360, a q for a free pint of Open Nature Ice Cream from Safeway (Dom's) and a gift check from  Hallmark to use during ornament premiere.  I am totally excited about the last one....hopefully I will win an ornament at this one like I did at the last one...lol:)

Wags and Q's

Recently, I have been doing most of my shopping and deals at the Meijer.  I have picked up stuff at Jewel and Dom's (and of course Target) but they just haven't had the amount of goodies that Meijer has.

I ventured to Wags the other day to pick up some more cheap diapers and more tape (I told you....free tape is my kryptonite)  Here is what I picked up for a total of OOP of $15.93 and got back 2 $2 OYNO Cats:

Transaction #1:

• 1 Jumbo pack Huggies Slip-On Diapers $9.49.  Used $3/1 = $6.49 and got back a $2 OYNO Cat

Transaction #2

• 1 Jumbo pack Huggies Slip-On Diapers $9.49.  Used $3/1 = $6.49 and got back a $2 OYNO Cat
• 3 rolls Scotch Tape $2.97.  Used Wags q .60/1 (limit 3) and manufacturer q $1/3 = $0.18.
• 3 mini-notebooks $1.47.  Used Wags q .34/1 (limit 3) = $0.45
• 1-10 pack pencils $1.39.  Used Wags q $1/1 = $0.39
• 3 travel size listerine $7.27.  Used Wags q $1.50/1 (limit 3) and 3 manufacturer q's $1/1 = $0.03 MONEYMAKER

I really like the idea of these slip-on diapers since I am really starting to push potty training for my little one and this is a much cheaper alternative than Pull-Ups right now.  

I saved a total of $20.82 in clipped q's.  I did not roll my cat from the first trans to the second because Wags does not allow you to roll them.  If I used the one from the first transaction, I would not have gotten another one in my second transaction and would have lost out on $2.00.  

I know I haven't talked about any mail goodies for a while....but rest assured, they are still arriving daily.  Here are two recent arrivals from Vocalpoint.  I LOVE getting q's from them...they are always high value and a lot of the time include a q for a free product.  If you haven't signed up for Vocalpoint yet, you can do it here.  

In the past week I have gotten a q for a free bad of lettuce from Fresh Express and 3 $1/1 q's.  Today, I got a mailing for Bounce dryer bars (which I LOVE) with 1 $2.50/1 and 3 $1.50/1....I always look at my q's as cash....so, I got over $10.00 in the mail in the past week...love it!  Now go sign up for some free money!

Wags and Q's

Wags had a pretty good deal going on Little Swimmers, so it was time to stock up for the summer.  Here's what I took home for only $10.70:

Wags had them on sale for $6.99/package plus an in-store q for $2/1.  I used 3 of those and stacked them with 3 $2/1 manufacturer q's for a total savings of $12.00.  Now, if only the weather would start warming up so we can get to some swimming sooner rather than later.

When we got home, we checked the mail for our daily goodies.  I have to admit I get a bit excited to see what is awaiting me in the box everyday...what will my Postman bring?  Today he brought me a couple goodies:

• 1 Cottonelle q for a free container of Cottonelle wipes (up to $2.89)
• 1 free sample of Zantac plus two q's: $1/1 and $5/1 (as if I didn't already have enough Zantac...good thing it has a long shelf life)
• 1 free sample of Seattle's best coffe plus a q for $1/1
• 1 20% off your entire purchase at Hallmark (oh, how LOVE Hallmark:)

Thank you Mr. Postman...until we meet again tomorrow...

Mr. Postman - Round 2

Some days opening the mailbox is like opening a present on Christmas Day.  This is what awaited me last Thursday:

Target sent my 3 free Goodnights underwear and a $2/1 store q (my favorite kind because I can almost always find a manufacturer q to pair with it).  I also received my two free pizza coupons I mailed in for when I got that stellar deal on the two Toy Story 3 Operation games, a $1/1 Pampers wipes q and a free 5ct. Zyrtec q.  As good as cash....

Mr. Postman

Here is another good q that arrived in the mail today complete with sample.  I love Vocalpoint.  They always send out high value coupons and samples...and these Mini Wheats are super YUMMY!  You can sign up at Vocalpoint here.

There were 3 $1/1 q's and a B1G1 q.  Thanks Vocalpoint!

Got Free Coke?

At our house, we are Coke drinkers.  We don't believe in wasting money on sub par Pepsi or RC or any of the other inferior colas...Yes, Coke is another one of my brand loyalties...and I refuse to pay full price for it.  I prefer to take it home for free or change and Dominick's makes that possible.  Here is one of my favorite coupons and it arrived in the mail today...

If you are a coke lover like myself, you can snag yourself these little gems by simply entering the Coke Rewards points on the inside of bottle caps, 12, 20 and 24-packs.  If you aren't entering those points, you are literally throwing money away.  

Every so often Dominick's will run a B2G2...sometimes it will even include free crackers or chips.  Recently, they had a B2G3...a steller deal.  This is where you want to use these coupons.  You can use them on the two 12-packs that you have to pay for, taking all of them home for just $2.00 or $0.50 each.  Since Dominick's cranks up the price of the two you have to pay for to $5.99, you have to shell out $2.00 for the 2 12-packs you are paying for as the coupons are only good up to $4.99.  Not free, but pretty stinkin' close.

If you are a Coke drinker like me, stop throwing away money and start entering those points!

Mr. Postman, Bring Me Some Joe?

When I came home today from getting a haircut and a trip to Target, this was waiting for me:

I belong to a website called Vocalpoint, they send out newsletters and exclusive samples, high value coupons and offers.  While I thought this mailing was pretty HOT, the goodies on the inside were even ....HOTTER..LOL.

There were 6 coupons total...one for a free pint of Breve Creamer by International Delight and 5 more for $0.55/1.  If you have read my earlier posts, you know that I just stocked up on about 17 pints of this creamer...so I don't need any for a while.  Thank goodness these don't expire until the end of July.  Hopefully Meijer will have another 10 for 10 sale somewhere around that time and I can keep my coffee-drinking hubs caffeinated in style.

Mr. Postman, Bring Me a Coupon

So in an earlier post I said I get at least a coupon in the mail everyday...most times its several.  Today I got free product and coupons.  I just love it when a company wants you to try their new product...that means they are usually eager to give it away and sales on those items tend to be pretty good.

Last week, Tide was giving away free packages of Stain Release tablets to the first 150,000 fans to request one on Facebook....and winner, winner chicken dinner...I GOT ONE:)  It arrived in the mail today and had a 10 pack of stain release tabs (a must with 2 boys), one load of tide and a $2 coupon...LOVE IT.

Tide is one of those products I am loyal to.  Other things I will sway on to some degree, but I love Tide.  I have tried the others and they just don't make the cut.  The only problem is Tide is expensive and Proctor and Gamble are pretty stingy with the coupons for Tide....so I have to take my wins when I can get them.  A couple weeks ago, I picked up the powder version of stain release for $0.64 per 26 oz. container...A STEAL!  I brought home 9 of them.  I almost did a happy dance in the aisle.

It is late, so I am off to bed....but I scored some more good deals that I will blog tomorrow so check back!
