Rite Aid Video Values & Olay ProX

Two topics here:

#1  Today is the last day of October, so you need to watch the Rite Aid Video Values videos for coupons you will want to print before the new coupons come out tomorrow.  **One of these should be the Olay ProX $7 coupon, because:

#2  I'm a member of Vocal Point and received a 1.0 oz jar sample of Olay ProX Wrinkle Cream in the mail.  It really did make my skin so soft.  They also sent (5) $10 Olay ProX coupons.  It's really worth it to join Vocal Point, because they often send generously-sized samples and high value coupons on a variety of items (Kashi cereal, Cheerios, Secret Clinical deodorant, etc.)  Join HERE.

You will need the following for your Savvy Scenario once these go on sale:

Olay ProX Skincare Product (Wait for a sale, they are $42 reg price)
Use $10/1 coupon from Vocal Point (*if you do not have these, use the $5/1 coupon from 10-11 PG)
Use $7/1 coupon from Rite Aid Video Values
Use $5/$25 Rite Aid coupon
Submit  $20 MIR form   ($20 rebate when you purchase $50 of Olay ProX by 12/31/09)

I will keep you posted.

new Rite Aid coupons

I'm a creature of habit... every morning I browse through the printable coupons on coupons.com to see what's new.  I was just browsing through HERE and there FAB Rite Aid coupons!

Using zip code 90210, I found a $3/$15 coupon.
Using zip code 49321, I found a $5/$25 coupon.
Reportedly there is a $4/$20 which you could find by trying different zip codes, but in my opinion, you are better off using the Video Values $5/$20 anyway!

Print them now, but they are all valid today through 11/3/09, so save yourself some ink and only print the ones that will work best for your savvy scenarios!

Don't forget the $5/25 coupon is available through 12/19/09.

Rite Aid 10/25 - 10/31

Update:  FYI I did not highlight the Crest/Scope deal this week because I noticed in the November SCR booklet that the same Crest toothpaste will be FAR (and potential MM with a likely PG coupon) 11/15 - 11/21.  I choose to wait for FREE toothpaste, but if you need it (and mouthwash) now, the $0.99ea this week is still a decent deal!

Rite Aid Single Check Rebates

Don't forget today was the last day of October SCRs.  Enter your receipts by 11/23 and request your check!  November SCRs run 10/25 to 11/28 and are posted HERE.

Here is your motivation to get your feet wet on the program if you haven't tried it yet:

Products I got FREE in October (national brand items)
 - tooth whitening strips
 - toothpaste, mouth wash, dental floss
 - razors, refill cartridges, shaving cream
 - air freshening kits
 - toilet paper
 - gum, chocolate bars, bottled water
 - vitamins, supplements, energy bars
 - baby wash, lotion, powder
 - shampoo, conditioner, stylers
 - batteries
 - light bulbs
 - cough medicine, cough drops, nasal sprays, allergy relief

I know sometimes it's hard to imagine FREE.  Completely FREE.  I'm not exaggerating.  Even after tax, I came out ahead by combining sales, coupons, and rebates.  Just try one transaction.  If rebates are not for you, then try another store like Walgreens or CVS.  To each his own... and to each his own money to keep in his own pocket!!

Energizer Rebate

We have until 11/14 to use our $0.75 Energizer Battery coupons from 10-4-09 SS.  I'd love to use them and submit THIS rebate for a "Keep Going" Journal.  Energizer will donate $1 to Susan G Komen for the Cure for each journal shipped.

Purchase any combination of three (3) of the following products:

Energizer® MAX®,*

* Eligible pack sizes include AA/AAA-8, C/D-4, 9V-2 or larger.

Energizer® Ultimate Lithium,**
Energizer® Advanced Lithium** or

Energizer® Rechargeable®** batteries

** Eligible pack sizes include AA/AAA-4 or larger.
 
Feel free to alert me to any Energizer Battery sales you see in the coming weeks!

Update:  $1 IP coupon HERE

Discount Tire Rebates

Please prepare yourself because I am about to use the "S" word:

I need new tires.  Desperately.  I have been procrastinating (which is so unsafe, I know!) and telling myself I will get them before it SNOWS.  I am not ready for SNOW.  Yes, I realize I live in Michigan.  Anyway, I have always shopped at Discount Tire.  Maybe because my parents always did?  Or because they do quick/free rotations? 

Here are some rebate forms valid until 10/31/09.

•$70 Mail-In Rebate on select sets of Bridgestone tires

•Up to $50 Mail-In Rebate on select sets of Goodyear tires

•Up to $75 Mail-In Rebate on select sets of Cooper tires
 
I have had the same brand/model of tires on my last two vehicles.  I decided on them by reading the reviews here.

Family Fare and D&W coupons

Both Family Fare and D&W have published these frozen food coupon fliers.  They have 28 coupons that expire 10/31.  *Note:  while they say "Spartan Coupon," they are manufacturers coupons (the bar codes start with 5) and cannot be stacked with manufacturer coupons.

I found the D&W coupons near the entrance to the store and the Family Fare coupons in the frozen food section. 

My favorites:

$1/2 Spartan Frozen Fruit

$1/1 Klondike Bars or Sandwiches

$1/2 New York Garlic Toast or Sticks

$1/2 Spartan Premium Frozen Vegetables

$1/1 Breyer' Ice Cream (BOGO until 10/24)

and many more!

If you're feeling lucky, you can submit the sweepstakes form on the back to win free groceries for a year.
