Freebies on your Birthday

Yep today is my Birthday! Which is fabulous of course... but I thought I would share a few freebies I found out you get on your big day!

Swagbucks gave me 50 Swagbucks... just for getting a year older!

And Disney Movie Rewards also sent me an extra 100 points!

Plenty of restaurants also give out free deserts, etc. My favorite? Tucano's in Utah... they give you a free meal! Oh to be in Utah and have all you can eat meat & grilled pineapple & veggies. MMM...

What other freebies have you scored on your birthday??

Target Coupons -- Get Them NOW!

There are a couple fantastic Target coupons available on their website HERE that you can use at Fry's to score some really cheap stuff!

Here's what I printed off (remember you can print each TWICE!):

$1 off 48 oz Market Pantry Ice Cream

.50 off Deli Purchase of $1 or more (specifies store brand)

$1 off Neutrogena facial care item, excl. trial size

$1 off Produce purchase of $1 or more -- hello free produce!!

.50 off 20 oz. or 24 oz. Market Pantry Bread

$1 off Bakery Items (store brand, excludes .99 items) - think French Bread, cookies, etc.

Market Pantry is Target's store brand. Look for comparable Fry's branded items and its a match. Some cashiers may ask their manager for approval, but you shouldn't run into many problems. Also, last time I used a Target bread coupon for .50 Fry's doubled it! YMMV (your mileage may vary) but I was quite happy about the overage since bread was only .88! Also I haven't had any trouble using a competitor coupon and a manufacture coupon at Fry's on the same product. I need face wash BADLY so I am excited to see what I can score...

My Fry's Trip -- Yipee!

I headed into Fry's today to cash in on the $10 off $50 Fresh & Easy coupon. I was able to get my total up above the $50 pre tax by getting some FREE stuff that added to my total before coupons were deducted. I won't run through my whole purchase but I will give you the highlights:

Best Life Buttery Spread $1 (sale) - $1/1 MQ = FREE

Tampax Gentle Glide 18 Ct. $2.99 - $2 IPQ - $3 eQ = $2 OVERAGE!

    ** I purchased 2 packages and had planned to pay .99 each after IPQ. However in the end a $3 eQ    came off. I still can't figure out where it came from. If anyone knows let me know so I can post it on the blog! **

Bounty Basic Paper Towels 1.19 - .25 MQ = .19 each

     ** I buy these coupons in lots of 20 off of ebay. I pay $1.44 shipped! A great way to stock up on something we use all the time. Combine this with the $1/1 eCoupon and you are in for some serious SAVINGS! **

Fry's Bread .88 - .50 Target IPQ (doubled!) = .12 overage

Old El Paso Seasoning Packets 1.19 - .50 MQ = .19 each

     ** wyb 3 you'll receive a $1 OYNO Beef & Chicken Catalina

Barilla Piccolini Pasta $1 - $1/2 MQ = .50 each

    ** wyb 3 you'll receive a $2/3 Catalina Coupon -- when you use this you'll get them for .33 each! **

Guerrero Tortillas $1.50 - $1 IPQ = .50 each

In the end my savings were 80% -- Hooray! Thanks so much to Kim over at Arizona Savings for sharing the link to the $10 off $50 purchase coupon! Check out her Favorite Deals post HERE. I also loved the match-ups over at Centsable Shoppin! THANK YOU! I know a lot of work goes into those posts!

Shopping Freebies

Did you get any shopping freebies in your mailbox today?

 I received a $10 off $10 purchase coupon from Kohl's that starts on Wednesday.

 I also received a $10 off $10 purchase coupon from Victoria Secret! HOORAY! Expires Oct. 31st. There are a couple exclusions on this one, but I am happy to announce the lotions aren't one of them!

I love shopping with someone else's money!

** REMINDER ** Many of you may have received a JCPenney $10 off $10 coupon a few weeks ago in your mailbox --- you need to use it by end of day tomorrow!! Tons of clearance finds right now too -- Izod Girls uniform tops and bottoms are clearanced to $2.97! (Sorry boys uniforms aren't clearanced)

Free Whataburger -- 8/3/10

Tomorrow is Whataburger's 60th B-DAY.... and they're giving us all a present! YAY! Dress your family up in orange and head on down to Whataburger for a fun family night --- for F-R-E-E!!

FREE Crest Toothpaste

Well this past week I headed to Fry's to use up the 6 MQs I had for Crest toothpaste. They are on sale for $1 and they doubled my .50/1 MQ making them free!

Even better? I grabbed the regular kind that came with a bonus travel size on top... inside the travel size box were MORE MQs! $7/1 Crest White strips (there is an eQ on the Fry's website that you can load to your card -- a $14 total savings when used together!) BUT even BETTER in my book were the .75/1 MQs for MORE of the $1 variety! YAY! So I went back last night to score some MORE free toothpaste. I was only able to get 4 of the bonus pack kind and 2 whitening variety. But the 4 bonus packs came with more coupons!

So CHECK OUT the Crest aisle to see if you can find this variety and score free toothpaste, free coupons and MORE free toothpaste! And if you can't use it donate it to a local shelter, etc. :)

$10 off $10+ Purchase at Aeropostale!!

We DEFINATELY have this store down by the Harkins theater at the Promenade Mall...

GET THE COUPON HERE!

I printed two so my hubby and I can score $20 in FREE clothes in two transactions tonight while we are out on a date :) Oh yeah, and my movie tickets? They're the free ones I got from my Fry's Peanut Butter deal :) Hooray for a cheap date night :)

This Aeropostale coupon is only good this weekend! So hurry!

More Freebies

I love freebies!

The U by Kotex deal I posted about a week or more ago is back on... Get 'em free with the $1/1 MQ from this Sunday's paper (with the RR of course...) Someday I'll become a fan of Walgreens RR, but today is not the day. I just don't have the time! :)

Also, as mentioned in the comments from the previous 'Freebies' post you can pick up McCormick Grill Mates, Lawry's Seasoning Salt and Lawry's Marinades for FREE at Fry's this week using the coupons from this Sunday's paper.

Use your $3/1 Snuggle Coupons at Fry's to get it FREE!

Also, don't forget to use the .40/1 MQ for Del Monte No Added Sugar Canned Fruit coupon at Safeway to score FREE fruit! Arizona Savings blog notes that the coupon does not automatically double up to $1 so you'll need to ask your cashier to do so. The coupon does NOT say not to double... so it's fair! :)

Any other freebies out there?
