My Free Lunch.....

Today I went to the Corner Bakery and spent exactly $2.29. So it wasn't free but almost. It could have been free if I'd just had tap water to drink but that seemed cheap so I ordered a soda. My chicken and green chili panini (pictured above) was delicious and absolutely free.

Corner Bakery mails out postcards every couple of months to anyone on their mailing list for free items such as baked goods, coffee or paninis. To get yours click here to join their mailing list.

I had never been there before but will definitely go again. Check it out....

This Week's Deals at CVS - Some are free!

There are some great deals at CVS this week. If you have coupons from the Sunday papers then you will be able to pick up some of these items for almost free! 
CVS will give you money back for buying certain items each week in the form of Extra Bucks (or ECBs). These print out at the end of your receipt and are essentially a paper gift card that you can use on your next purchase at CVS. 


First ask the cashier for a rewards card if you do not have one and swipe it at the magic coupon machine usually located near the registers. Each week this machine will give you coupons which can be stacked with manufacturers coupons for extra good deals. They will often give you coupons for $4 off a $20 purchase too! 


* Azo maximum strength itch releif cream 1oz. $6.99 - Get $5 ECB (limit 5)
   Use the $2 off 1 printable coupon found here
   Pay $4.99 plus tax and receive a $5 ECB
   Final cost after ECB and coupon = Free!


* Campbells Select Harvest Soup - 4/$5 (You do not have to buy 4 to get this price)
   Buy 2 and use a $1/2 printable Campbells Select Harvest Soup coupon found here
   Final cost after coupon = $0.75 each when you buy 2


* Colgate Total Advanced or Enamel Strength toothpaste 4oz - $2.99 get $2.99 in ECBS (limit 2)
   Use the $0.75 off 1 coupon found here or the $0.75 coupon found in the 10/3 Smart Source (SS)
   insert of the Sunday newspapers
   Pay $2.24 and receive a $2.99 ECB
   Final cost after coupon and ECB = Free + $0.75 moneymaker!


* Purex Complete 3-in-1 Laundry Sheets 20ct - $7.99 On sale Buy 1 Get One Free (B1G1)
   Use two $3 off 1 coupons found in the 10/10 Red Plum (RP) insert of this Sundays paper (will  
   have to buy 2 papers)
   Final cost after coupon = $0.99 each when you buy 2!


*  Dawn hand renewal - $0.97
    Use the $0.50 off 1 coupon from the Proctor and Gamble (P&G) insert of the 9/26 newspaper
    Final cost after coupon = $0.47


Deal Scenarios 


Transaction 1
Buy 2 Colgate toothpastes $5.98
Use the above coupons
Pay $4.48 and receive a $5.98 ECB

Transaction 2
Buy: 2 Purex 3-in-1 laundry sheets
        1 dawn hand renewal
        Buy 4 Campbells soups
        Buy a filler item for $0.53 to use up the rest of your ECB
Use the coupons listed above and your ECBs from transaction 1
Pay just the tax.


All that for just $4.48 plus tax!

OR.... If you have a $4 off $20 coupon from the magic coupon machine you could do the following deal

Buy: 2 Purex 3-in-1 Laundry sheets
        2 Colgate toothpastes
        1 Azo Anti itch cream
Use the coupons listed above plus the $4 off $20 coupon
Pay $7.50 plus tax
Receive $10.98 in EBs to be used in your next transaction
Final cost after ECBs = Free plus a $3.48 moneymaker!


Your scenarios may be different to mine depending on what coupons you have available. You can see above that you can do scenarios that leave you with some ECBs left over. These can be rolled into a deal the following week reducing what you will spend out of pocket then. For example I currently have $20 in ECBs so if I use $7.50 of them today on the above scenario and receive $10.98 in ECBs back I will have only paid the tax out of pocket (ECBs cannot be used to pay tax).

Leave a comment below and let us know if you got any great deals at CVS this week.

Obviously your scenarios may be different to mine depending on what your Rite aid has in stock and what coupons you have. I thoroughly recommend subscribing to your local Sunday newspaper as you will earn the cost back many times over in money saved on toothpaste, shampoo etc. Look out for deals on subscriptions. The LA Times recently offered a years Sunday subscription for just $10!

And remember to input the info from your receipts into your Single Check Rebates account when you get home. However don't click on the "Request your check" button until the end of the month as you can only request a check once a month. Your check will arrive 2 to 4 weeks after you request it.

Let us know what deal scenarios you come up with by leaving a comment below.

How to shop for very little money at Rite Aid.....and occasionally make money too!

I'm sure you already know how to shop at Rite Aid however did you know they routinely pay you to shop there? It takes a little bit of preparation but I often make at least $5 when I go there.

Here's how:

1. The next time you are in Rite aid ask the cashier for a rewards card. 

2. When you get home go to www.riteaid.com and do the following.

3. Click on "Rite Aid Video Values" and register for an account. 

4. Go back to www.riteaid.com and scroll down to the box that says "Single Check Rebates" Click on that and then on the small box that says "Sign up for SCR". Register. 

Now you are ready to go shopping at Rite Aid. 

Rite Aid Video Values

After you register you can go to the Video Values page and view various short advertisements from various manufacturers. Each ad is between 30 seconds and two minutes long and you receive a coupon for money off the item for each ad you view. After you have viewed about 15 ads you will also earn at $4 off $20 coupon. Video Values coupons can be combined with manufacturers coupons from the newspaper to make some great deals.

Single Check Rebates

Each month Rite Aid offers a certain amount of money back on certain products in the form of a Single Check rebate or SCR. See here for this weeks SCRs. For example this week one of the products Rite Aid has on sale is Blistex Lip Ointment. It's on sale for $1.49 and Rite Aid will give you an SCR for $1.49. This essentially means they are paying you $1.49 to buy this product. After you have bought a product or products that have SCRs offered go home and login to your Single Check Rebate Account by going to www.riteaid.com, clicking on "Single Check Rebates" and entering your login information. Then enter the information they require which can be found on your receipt. It's very simple and I suggest doing it as soon as you get home so you don't forget to enter it. At the end of the month you can then request your SCRs which will come in the mail in the form of a check.

+UP Rewards

Another way that Rite Aid gives you money back is in the form of UP+ Rewards which print on the end of your receipt as a coupon. +UP Rewards are basically a paper form of a gift card that you can use on your next purchase at Rite Aid. Pay attention to the expiry date.

This all seems a lot but it's actually very easy as you will see. 

$5 Meal at Quiznos

There is a new Quiznos coupon out for a $5 Torpedo Combo. That's one toasty torpedo, one fountain drink and either a bag of chips or a cookie for just $5. Click here for the coupon. You should be able to print this twice. Expires on October 15th.
