FREE Dishwasher Magic


Keep your eyes peeled for "Try Me FREE" hangtags on bottles of Dishwasher Magic to get a full rebate after purchase. This product cleans out your dishwasher. Walmart should be carrying this product.

Walgreens Mid-Week Ad 10/27 - 10/30


Walgreens mid-week ad has some good buys for Halloween in it especially if you are in need of a costume. There is a $5 OFF coupon on the front cover on any adult or child costume regularly priced $14.99 or higher.
Also, check out the bagged candy ad for Nestle, Hershey's or Mars candy. Buy one at $2.49 - $.50 Register Reward = $1.99. Now I know there are $.50 coupons out there for this candy but there is also a save $1.50 off 3 coupon in the 10/10 Red Plum. You would only get one $.50 Register Reward doing this deal this way but you do save money: Buy 3 bags at $2.49 ($7.47) - $1.50 coupon - $.50 Register Reward = $5.46 for 3 bags of candy. That's $1.82 per bag, not the best price but not bad either.

FREE ENERGY BARS


Check out the MID-WEEK Walgreens ad that runs from 10/27 - 10/30. On the back page you'll see that you can pick up ONE FREE Fullbar Fit Bar and Balance Bar per visit after Register Rewards. This would be a good opportunity to try these bars since it's FREE!

FREE Gum at Super America


If you are already a Speedy Rewards member at Super America you should have received an email from them overnight. It looks like just one of their regular emails and easily dismissed but go all the way to the bottom of the email and there is a link to a coupon for a FREE PACK OF WRIGLEY 5 PRISM GUM on your next visit to Super America. Yay! Coupon expires 11/30/2010

Applebee's Deal at Cub Foods This Week


I almost missed this good deal at Cub Foods this week!
"Save $5.00 on your next shopping trip when you purchase an Applebee's $45 Anytime Triple Pack." With the holidays coming up this would be a nice gift for 3 friends! Just break the cards up from the Triple pack and give each friend a $15 Gift Card. Otherwise, if you visit Applebee's often this would also be a great deal.

There will be a mid-week Walgreens coming out tomorrow, October 27th. Be ready for some deals on Halloween candy so start clipping your candy coupons from the recent Red Plum, SmartSource and November coupon booklet to take advantage of the sales! Yay!

FREE REACH Floss or Toothbrush


Always cut out your $1.00 coupons for Reach dental floss or toothbrushes and you'll never pay for either ever again. These came out in the 10/10 Smartsource so be sure and clip them.

It all adds up!

It all adds up!

Mills Fleet Farm Offer


Hey, here's a great coupon good at Fleet Farm! You'll find this coupon in this week's ad.

Here's an idea. Purchase a couple of pairs of Carhartt jeans and turn around and head on in to their Christmas Toy Department and start stocking up on Christmas gifts for the kids!

OOPS! Make that a MONEYMAKER!


There is a $1.00 off coupon in the 10/10 Smartsource for the Colgate Sensitive Toothpaste which is FREE after Register Rewards this week at Walgreens. Take this coupon in with you when you go in and it'll be a $1.00 MONEYMAKER!

ValleyScare!


Just wanted to remind folks that there was a $10 OFF REGULAR ADMISSION to ValleyScare! in the 9/26 Smartsouce.
This will be the last weekend to use it - duh! It's Halloween weekend.
If you want this coupon stop by my desk and just take it - it'll be on the corner.

Keep your eyes peeled for the Farm Rich Sandwich Melts that are supposed to be in stores, I've heard Walmart has them!

Nature's Touch Grade A Large Eggs - $.79 a dozen!

Nature's touch Grade AA Butter - $1.69 pound!

Baking season is upon us and remember that butter lasts a long time in the refrigerator. It may be time to stock up on butter to make those fabulous Christmas cookies!

I also want to put in a plug for Kwik Trip's fruit. I buy it quite often and am always very pleased with its quality. They always have apples, oranges and right now they have pears! Yum!

FREE Battery at ACE Hardware


If you have signed up for the Ace Hardware Rewards program and email program you should get this great coupon for a FREE 9-VOLT ALKALINE BATTERY for your smoke detector FREE in honor of Fire Prevention Week - October 3-9, 2010. Even if you aren't in the program it's a good idea to replace the batteries in your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide protectors, especially before winter. I personally change mine when the time changes each spring and fall. This may seem like overkill but these detectors ARE LIFESAVERS!

FREE Toy from Fisher Price


When you sign up for freebies you never are quite positive that you'll get them so it's always a GREAT SURPRISE when you do!
I received this great little Fisher PriceTRIO car building blocks in the mail the other day. What fun! I have a little neighbor that should just love this!
