Impromptu Shopping Trip = HUGE Savings and LOTS of Free Items!

Yesterday, my mom and I decided to take the girls and go out to a few stores and see what kind of deals we could get.  We knew there were coupons in this past weekend's paper that would make for free items at some stores, so we decided to try our luck!  I was surprised at how much we were actually able to get!!!  I had gotten extra papers this week since I knew the coupons were going to be good, so I was able to stock up on several things that we use on a regular basis for FREE!!!  Here's a picture of everything I got:

We decided to go to a new Family Dollar - well, not a new store, but new to us!  I found the L.A. Looks hair gel for $1.75 and had $1 coupons (from this past weekend's paper).  My husband uses this stuff every day.  And they also had 5 ct. packs of Zyrtec on sale for $4.50 with a $1 in-store coupon and I had $2 manufacturer coupons (printed online weeks ago), making them only $1.50 each!

Dollar General had a great deal on the Air Wick Freshmatic air freshners - on sale for $4 and I had $4 coupons, making them FREE!  These will be on sale all week if you can find time to swing by there!

We also made a trip in to Food Lion to get FREE Marcal paper towels (with $1 coupons from this past weekend's paper) and FREE Splenda Essentials (with $3 coupons from this past weekend's paper).  (This sale is now over.)

Kroger has Ivory body wash and Crest toothpaste free this week after coupons from this past weekend's P&G insert.

I also went into Walmart where they have 3-packs of Cascade action packs on sale for $.97 - $1 coupons from this past weekend's P&G insert made them FREE!  Plus, I found Gillette Fusion Proglide packs (with one razor, small body wash, and two other trial sized products) for $4.97.  After the $4 coupon from this weekend's P&G, I got them for $.97 each!

The box of Cherrios and can of Ocean Spray juice were mailbox freebies that I decided to throw in the picture!  :)

All in all, I ended up with 45 items totalling $95.40 in value for only $9.49!  Not bad for a quick morning of shopping!!! :)

Have you all picked up any good freebies this week?  I'd love to hear!

Mailbox Freebies!!

This week was a GREAT week for mailbox freebies!!!  I have been so excited about what all I got in the mail this week, I just had to share them with you!

First, yesterday, I received a package from Tide that had all of this inside...

I remember signing up for a free sample of Tide Stain Release, but didn't think it would include a 10-pack bag! 

Then, today, I received a coupon booklet with several coupons inside - including 3 FREE product coupons!  Along with it came a $2 rebate check I had been waiting on also!

I don't even remember signing up for this one!

Once again - just goes to show you that it pays to sign up for free sample offers!

Have you gotten any great freebies in the mail lately?

Mailbox Freebies!

As I've mentioned many times, I LOVE getting freebies in the mail!  I sign up for every free sample I come across - not just for the products themselves, but also because almost every free sample I receive comes with a coupon attached!  Here's a pic of some of the freebies I got this week!

Okay - so the All You magazine wasn't free, but I'm always excited when it comes!!! :)  The Victoria's Secret mailer I received came with a coupon for a totally FREE panty, and I also received a coupon for a FREE 8-pack of Jif To-Go peanut butter!  (Jif sample no longer available.)
Then, a few days later, I got this one...(if you want to turn your computer sideways to see it....)

with the points I've earned from the "Old Orchard Fan Club."

FREE peanut butter, FREE panties, and FREE juice!  Not a bad week for mailbox freebies!
