Deals in the area today 10/17/12

I don't post every internet freebie or deal I see around because many of them are flooded on other sites and some aren't all that great of a deal.  Here's a couple that seem to be pretty good and are one-day only deals.

 

My Coke Rewards has a one-year subscription to Cooking Light magazine for just 150 points TODAY ONLY!  This is a great magazine and I believe you can also get the digital subscription free with the print subscription if I remember correctly!


Kroger's daily Cart Buster deal of the day is BOGO Chef Boyardee can or cup.  You can only load this to your card today and it expires 10/31/12.

Free Best Life butter @ Kroger

I just saw at Kroger that this butter is on sale 10/$10. There were $1/1 coupons in the 1/2 SS, making this free!

Freebies from Crest!!

I don't recall signing up for this, but last night when I got home, I found a FedEx box waiting for me. Inside of it was a whole Crest whitening kit. It came with:

1- Crest Whitestrips professional 2 hour treatment (good for 3 mos)
1- Crest Whitening toothpaste (some new kind I've never seen)
1- Crest Whitening dental rinse (some new kind I've never seen)
1- Crest Whitening toothbrush

Apparently I signed up to be a part of their trial group. I sign up for so many things that I honestly can't remember where I saw this at to sign up for. The letter inside said that I have been chosen to be a trial panelist of these products and they'll send me a survey to complete in a week or so!

COOL!!

Free Samples

Do you sign up for free samples?  I do!  I love getting "presents" in the mail all the time and most samples come with really good, high value coupons too.  Even if I won't use the product (like baby items, etc), I sign up for the samples any way.  I can always find someone who wants the sample and I can use the coupons to trade for ones that I do want.

Here's one of my favorite websites for samples.  You can sign up to receive a daily email too that will let you know what the sample of the day is and provide you a link to sign up.

I also like the Walmart sample website.

CVS: Free Hand Sanitizing Pen

Check out this post to register for a FREE hand sanitizing pen from CVS.  All you have to do is enter your CVS Extra Care # and your e-mail and the link for the coupon will be e-mailed to you.  This is a Twitter deal, so if you have a Twitter account, follow CVS so you can get notice of these special deals.

Free Amazon Prime Membership for 1 Year

I just read this post on CommonSenseWithMoney:

".....Amazon is offering a full year of Amazon Prime ($79 value) to college students. To get this freebie you will need a valid .edu e-mail address and specify college, year and major...."

For those of you in college or with kids in college, this is a GREAT freebie!  I am a graduate student alumni, so I still have my college e-mail account active and was able to take advantage of this.  The best thing is you don't need to set up a new Amazon account to take advantage of this.  I logged in with my standard e-mail/account and was just asked to put in my college e-mail address so they could send me a verification link.  The free PRIME membership is tied to my standard e-mail/account.

This is great to have in time for birthdays and Christmas ordering!

Kroger:
Buy 1 Scrubbing Bubbles power sprayer $7.99
- Use $5/1 MQ from 4/11 SS

Pilot FriXion pens and highlighters

This week at Wags, you can get a 3pk of the Pilot FriXion erasable pens and highlighters for $1.19. Use the $1 coupon found in the April booklet to get it for $0.19/ea.

Better yet.....buy 3 and submit for a $4.50 rebate!!! That's a $3.93 MM!!

I bought each kind yesterday to see if they even worked before I posted this....and to my suprise THEY WORK GREAT! The "eraser" erases the pen or highlighter mark with friction instead of the normal method which means you don't rip your paper or have left over marks!

Inventory alert: The 419 Wags is out of the pens as of this morning and there were only 1-2 highlighter packs when I left. Wags in Salem had nothing! If you want to get in on this deal, keep checking back as they may stock a little each day or get more in when the truck comes in.

Thanks, Hip2Save

Freebies at CVS next week 4/11

Looks like there will be a couple good MM's next week at CVS:

Dove shampoo or conditioner will be free after ECB's, and will be a MM with the $1.50 MQ from the 3/28 RP (there was also a $2 IP from their website a few weeks ago if you still have those).

Dial Nutriskin body wash will also be free after ECB's, and will be a MM with the $1.50 coupon from Coupons.com (see my right side bar to print from here).

As always, you can get the full line-up of sale match-ups from SouthernSavers with a printable shopping list (she posts CVS on Friday and Wags on Saturday), so I'm not going to post all of the deals. I just wanted to give you a heads up so you can print the q's now before they're gone!
