Toys R Us: Pampers-In-A-Bin

I think this is a great idea. Pampers-In-A-Bin. And the cutest bin ever no less. A Toys R Us-exclusive 14-gallon Rubbermaid storage bin filled with Pampers diapers. The bin shown in the Toys R Us ad is a size 3 Pampers Baby Dry. I tell you this because I know the number of diapers in a package is based on the size. See I am learning about this baby stuff.

Back to the bin, there are 204 diapers, a bonus Pampers Dry Max diaper sample, and over $20 in coupons. All of this is a $70 value but is priced at just $45.99. If my math is correct, that averages out to be about 22 cents per diaper.

That doesn't include the coupon pack or the Rubbermaid bin. I would think you could use a Pampers coupon on this as well. Quantities are limited and rainchecks are not available.

Sunday Speak: What Can't You Pass Up?

We had an Ask The Divas feature, and people were asking us questions. Well, we're turning the tables. Each Sunday, we're gonna ask you guys some questions. It'll give us a way to know you better; you a chance to know us better; and we can all be friends.

Sound great?

I thought to.

So, each Sunday, we're gonna get a little chatty.

To kick things off, we've got this question: What deal will you not pass up, no matter how big your stockpile is?

For me, it's hand soap. When I first started couponing hardcore all those many years ago, the only thing I couldn't stock up on was free hand soap. There was no such thing. I had makeup and body wash and toothpaste that I was giving away in bags, but I was sparingly using my hand soap, wondering.

Finally, when my hand soap was on its last limb, there was an okay deal at CVS [[by okay, I mean, it was like a three-pack of hand soap giving back $1 in ecb]]. I snatched it up. The next week, there was a real deal, and I bought as many as I could. I went from zero to twenty in a month.

And good thing. It was months [[like, almost a year]] before I saw free hand soap again. So of course, I stocked up again.

And, just this most recent trip to A&P triples, I got some more. I have a ton now, but I know that this is a practically yearly occurrence. And that cheap newspaper coupon is only 35 measly cents, so that doesn't help hardly ever.

So, for me, I can never pass up a hand soap deal, no matter how many I have. What's your sale of choice? What can't you turn down?

Meijer: Good Deal Alert -- Free Kraft Cheese [[Today Only]]

Melissa and Shelly from Stockpiling Moms' just emailed me to let me know you can get free Kraft Cheese at Meijer. Good thing the email came just as I was checking emails because this deal is good for today [[January 31]] only.

The ladies let me know that Kraft Cheese is on sale for 3/$5 this week [[ending 02/06]]. You'll get $1 off when you buy three, so you're looking at $4 for three. So far.

But they did say free.

How? Buy six Kraft Shredded/Block Cheeses for $10. Get $2 off instantly, and you're looking at $8. Use three $1/2 here or from the 1/24/10 SS. That's $5.00 oop.

And, when you buy five or more Kraft products, you'll get a $5 catalina. Making this -- yup -- free after the cat.

The cat ends today, which is why you have to get out there now.

Victoria's Secret: Love Rocks

I'm a little non-committal when it comes to tattoos. Okay, a lot non-committal. The permanence of it all just doesn't sit well with me. I've wanted a tattoo for the last twelve years, and I've had the same idea for the last four, but, the actual tattoo, well, I'm a few years shy of getting under the needle.

But I can go to Victoria's Secret no problem.

Right now, according to Deal Seeking Mom, you can get a free Love Rocks scented tattoo from Vicky's.

Put it on, smell pretty, and it's done when you take a shower. Sounds like the perfect tattoo for committment-a-phobes. Hey! We're people too!

Anyway, that being said, I'm pretty sure Vicky's is coming out with a new perfume line [[or maybe it's a single scent, I'm not sure]] called Love Rocks. And with Valentine's Day right around the corner, what great timing. Coincidence? I doubt it.

6pm.com: Cheap Crocs

Me, I am not a fan of Crocs. I can't wear any flat shoes. You know all about me and my stilettos. Enough said. There are so many people who do like Crocs out there. My mom being one of them.

This deal at 6pm.com is for all the Croc lovers. Visit 6pm.com and save up to 70% off Crocs! They are like $5 a pair. Really great deal. Standard ground shipping was $6.95. Even with shipping it is a good deal.

Big Lots: Good Deal Alert -- Big Savings

Big Lots has a rewards program called the Buzz Club. If you know about that, you probably know about this coupon. But if you don't, I've got news for you. If you click here, you can print off a coupon good for 20-percent off your total. It's only good until today [[January 31]], so you probably wanna hurry out shopping. Just put Big Lots on your list of things to do today.

Diapers.com: Pampers Deals

Diapers.com is so much more than just diapers. The site has everything you could need for your baby ... at least, that is what the Web site tells me. Really, I don't know what you need for babies other than lots of Pampers.

But I do know if you spend $49 or more on Pampers, you will get free shipping and your order will ship in just one to two days. For a limited time, first time customers can use the code 10PAMPERS to save $10 on their first diaper order.

Now, if you signed up for Pampers Gifts to Grow like we told you to, you would have gotten an email that if you clicked through to Diapers.com you would also get 500 bonus Pampers Gift to Grow points, just by using the code at checkout. So after you are done shopping, head over there to sign up for yourself.

Target: Free Olay Soap

In order to get this freebie, you have to act quickly. Okay, you have until tomorrow [[January 31]] but don't waste time when you should be going to Target. Olay soap in the trial size section is only 97 cents.

There is a $1/1 Olay coupon that does not exclude trial sizes. But the coupon expires on 01/31. See why you need to get to Target as soon as possible? I got eight of them, no beeps no problems. Just more free soap.

Bath & Body Works: Good Deal Alert -- 20% Off

If you get a chance, head over to Bath & Body works today or tomorrow [[January 30 and 31]] with this coupon. Be careful when you click it because the print prompts automatically. If you're shopping online, use the code 20PERCENT at checkout for the same savings. The coupon doesn't seem to have any exclusions, which means you can hit the clearance baskets and pick up a few cheap gifts.

Borders: Good Deal Alert -- Save 33%

Borders gives out weekly coupons, which you'd notice if you read this blog often because we post them nearly every week. But, what used to be a 30% coupon has turned into 33%. That 3% adds up. If you're buying books weekly, that's almost like getting two books a year for free.

I think.

I'm doing quick math in my head.

In any case, head over to your local Borders with this coupon for the savings. Just make sure you're there before Febuary 1. If you'd rather shop online, enter BJT7138P at checkout and you'll save too.

Saturday Sample: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri

I could open my own nail salon with all the nail polish I have. Of course, most of it was free, but that is besides the point. I would have to call my salon Sally Hansen with a side of Revlon. I only use those two brands. That's it, no exception. And Revlon is okay, but nothing compares with Sally for me.

Since I have so much nail polish, I paint my nails every day. Well I used to. Since I found Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri, I only have to paint them every other day or so. I know that doesn't seem like a huge difference, but it really its. I am not sure how I ever existed without this stuff.

You paint your nails, one or two coats, wait about a minute [[the bottle says two, but I don't listen]]. Swipe on the Insta-Dri and you are good to go in a minute. Not only is this a polish drier, but it doubles as a top coat. No smudges, no sheet marks, nothing.

No more blowing on your nails, waving your hands like a lunatic, or trying so hard not to smudge. With Insta-Dri, those days are long over. Another thing I love about it: It makes your nails really nice and shiny. Your polish never looks dull.

There is only one bad thing. If you paint your nails and use the Insta-Dri today, then paint another coat and use the Insta-Dri tomorrow, you are good. If you try to paint them and use the Insta-Dri a third time, I noticed the polish can get a little cracked and that causes it to flake or peel off easily. But really, your nails won't need to be painted again a third time, so it is not a huge deal. Since this also contains an anti-chip, your polish lasts longer.

In checking out Sally Hansens Web site, I see the company has Insta-Dri nail polish colors as well. I haven't tried them just the clear top coat! Oh, I am so excited to find a deal on that as well.

I have never seen this on sale, and actually got this as part of a bonus pack of nail polish so my first bottle was free. My Rite Aid sells Insta-Dri for $5.49. I will be stocking up whenever there is a sale. But even if there is not a sale, this is worth so much more for me. I will now be paying for nail polish [[well just the Insta-Dri, let's not get too carried away]]. And I am totally okay with it.

UPDATED: Foot Locker: Friends And Savings

Update: The coupon says NOTHING about exclusions, however, the Shape Ups and the Reebok equivalent are both excluded from this coupon. As may be some other styles. I don't know. I didn't ask. Guess who's not a happy camper ...

I've been wanting the Sketchers Shape Ups ever since I tried them on around Christmastime. See, they're supposed to make your legs toned, and I've been dying for calf muscles ever since I was about 13. This could be my chance.

Around Christmastime, Foot Locker was offering $25 off a $100 purchase. Well, the trouble was one] my shoes were only $99.99 and two] they were totally out of stock. So I've been holding on to my gift cards, waiting patiently.

And the day I've been waiting for has finally arrived.

Through today, you can save 25% off at Foot Locker with this Friend's and Family coupon.

Hopefully my shoes will be in stock.

CVS: Brushing Away

We say don't pay for toothpaste. Ever. And I mean it.

Don't. Ever. Pay. For. Toothpaste.

But what if your stash is small and you need toothpaste? That's fine. Head over to CVS this week [[ending 01/30]]. Crest 6.4 oz tubes are on sale for $1.99 and giving back $1 in ecb. Well, if you look in the aisle, you'll find a blinkie for $1/1 ... which just turned this into a penny moneymaker.

So please, follow my mantra: Don't ever pay for toothpaste. And if you do, please oh please let me know why.

Walgreens: Stop Smelling

When my grandma visits New York, she's pretty good about figuring our her drugstore deals. She doesn't exactly get it enough to do it on her own, but when I'm with her, she's a pro. The only trouble is I could never convince her to buy things she didn't need, like any type of men's products. It didn't matter that she has male grandkids and sons-in-law. If she couldn't use it herself, there was no convincing her to get it -- moneymaker or not.

Now, she's finally grasping the concept of stocking up on things she can give away as gifts. So I've been put on mens deodorant watch.

Luckily for her, I buy her the paper most every week, so she can get in on this deal.

At Walgreens this week [[ending 01/30]], Sure deodorant is on sale for $1.50. You're gonna wanna pick up the Sure for Men because in this Sunday's inserts, there was a coupon for $1.50/1, making this free.

Be sure to pair this with the Pert Plus for Men deal that Beth found and your mens gift bags will be looking up.

CVS: Good Deal Alert -- Eucerin

My mom has sensitive skin and when her skin gets really dry, she can only use Eucerin lotion. She uses whatever free stuff I get her otherwise, but with the dry winter weather she needed Eucerin. So she bought one last week at CVS for $10.99. I tried to convince her to wait for a deal but she wouldn't.

So of course, now CVS has a deal. When you spend $20 on Eucerin [[excluding Aquaphor]], you will get $10 back in extra bucks. There were $1/1 coupons in the 01/24 inserts. Prices start at $5.49 and go way up from there. This is a great savings.

Target: Good Deal Alert -- Clearance Electrasol

Lisa so kindly sent me her Electrasol coupons that she didn't need. I was waiting for a really good deal to use them. Luckily, since they expire soon, I found that deal at Target.

Electrosal is on clearance for just $3. Combine that with the coupon for $2.50 off and your total is only 50 cents. I can handle that.

Starbucks: Free Snacks

So, Lisa doesn't have Internet today, so she frantically text messaged me to ask that I post this. These are the details I have:

Today only from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. Starbucks will be offering some free Sahale Snacks.

Items include:

Barbeque Almonds with Mild Chipotle + Ranch
Cashews with Pomegranate + Vanilla
Soledad Almonds with Apple, Flax Seeds, Date, Balsamic Vinegar + Red Pepper

Sahale Snacks says this is a nationwide promotion, so get over there today

Starbucks is also offering free samples of Kind Bars on February 5th!

Old Navy: Braving The Elements

I don't get to the mall as often as I'd like. I just don't have the time. Okay, I do have the time. But not the drive. Or the motivation to drive, anywhere, in this ridiculous cold.

Maybe this weekend?

I dunno.

But, if you head out, head over to Old Navy. According to Old Navy's Facebook, Old Navy is offering 30-percent off the entire store today [[January 29]] and tomorrow [[January 30]], between 9 a.m. today and 9 p.m. tomorrow.

Old Navy said you won't need any coupons, and the only exclusion is gift cards. Maybe you can buy some gloves and a scarf ... in case it's cold when you leave the store.

Happy Birthday Jess

Happy Birthday to you.

Happy Birthday to you.

Happy Birthday to Jess.

Happy Birthday to you.

UPDATED: Free Sample: Pampers Cruisers With Dry Max

In the back of my head, I'm always worried that a baby in diapers will be a baby with fluids running down it's body because the diaper is sagging off. If you're single and childless, you know the thought. You see a baby. It's crawling around. Mommy and Daddy are busy elsewhere. And you can smell it. And you're silently hoping that Mommy and Daddy will start paying attention because, if not, you don't want to be the one on diaper duty.

No pun intended.

I swear.

I bring this up now because it's Olympic time. And the United States is sending some athletes with babies. And, clearly, Mommy and Daddy could be occupied on the slopes, the rink, or the curling field [[field? rink?]]. So they can't be worried about leaky diapers. Enter Pampers to the rescue. Pampers created specially-branded Team USA diapers -- Cruisers with Dry Max -- technology that they're outfitting the Team USA babies in when they head to Vancouver.

You don't have to be an Olympic athlete to get in on these. Nope. All you lucky Drugstore Divas readers get to hear about it first: Starting today [[January 29]], you can head over to Pampers' Web site to request a free sample pack with three diapers.

The quantities are limited, so hurry. But, if three diapers isn't enough for your little one, well, come back in a few days when we're gonna have a surprise for your kiddie ... if you're lucky [[oooh, see what we're hinting at?]].

UPDATED: I'm still waiting on the official word, but try this link to get your sample. You can choose sizes 3, 4, or 5.

UPDATED AGAIN: It's up on the Pampers site now. It's on the right side. Let me know if you can't find it. Or if you do and you got your diapers =]

Brueggers: Free Bagel

My favorite food is bread products. I love bread, rolls, and bagels are for sure my favorite. I could eat bagels for just about every meal if my metabolism would allow. But anyway, I am so jealous I can't get in on this free sample.

Brueggers will email you a coupon for a free bagel with cream cheese just for signing up for its email list.

Too bad there are no Brueggers bakeries near me. If there is a store near you, think of me when you are enjoying your free bagel.

Godiva: Indulge Yourself

Godiva isn't a little out of my price range. It's a lot out of my price range. So much so, I kinda had a mini-heart attack earlier this week when I saw CVS was carrying Godiva, and maybe, just maybe, I'd get an urge in the future to blow a few ecb on the high-end cocoa.

If you don't mind paying for this out of pocket, you're in luck.

Between now and Sunday, January 31, if you spend $50 online, you can get a free 32-piece milk chocolate solid gems box. Just enter the code GEMS at checkout.

What's even better if you're a moneybags, is this is actually good for every $50 you spend, per recipient. So, if you're Tiger Woods and have a couple people to buy Valeintine's gifts for, well, they can each get their own freebie.

Free Sample: Keeping Resolutions With Kashi

I'm a big fan of Kashi. Usually. Sometimes it looks like sticks and twigs to me, but most of the time, I'm really appreciative of the seven grains.

I've had lots of experience with Kashi, so I'm giving you this advice firsthand. But, first, you have to head over to this link to start your free sample request.

You get to choose between three, and here is where my help comes in. Your choices are: Go Lean
Crisp! Toasted Berry Crumble cereal; TLC Dark Chocolate Coconut Fruit & Grain bar; and Go Lean Crunch! Honey Almond Flax cereal.

Skip the bar.

Oh sure, it looks good and sounds even better. But, the chocolate up top, it's really rubbery. No one in my house liked it. And we're all big Kashi fans. So, stick with one of the cereals. I picked the toasted berry, if you're wondering.

If Kashi runs out of samples, the company is gonna give out dollar-off coupons instead. So you'll still get something. But don't dilly dally if you want cereal.

Price Chopper: Good Deal Alert -- Cheap Coke

Price Chopper has a great deal on Coke this week [[ending 01/30]]. There is an in-ad coupon from the Price Chopper flier that you will need. The deal is when you buy four 12-packs for $11 and you have the in-ad coupon, you will also get two 2-liters of Coke.

Four 12-packs and two 2-liters of Coke products for just $11 is a really good deal. The limit is one per customer though.

Babies R Us: Oh Baby Baby

I love Swagbucks because you can win gift cards just for searching the Web.

But what I love even more are gift cards that are basically just handed to you.

And thanks to Jenn from Frugal Mom Jenn, you can get one today [[January 28]]. Head over to Babies R Us' Facebook page and become a fan. If you do, you'll get a $5 e-gift card ... that can be used in stores or online. Even better. The gift card is good until February 20, so you've got time to spend it. And it's good on anything. So check out those clearance racks.

Quantities are limited, so be sure to hurry and get yours. Then come back and thanks Jenn for finding us such a great deal.

Aerie: January's Monthly Freebie

Each Thursday in 2009, aerie gave out a free gift to a list members. What was great was it was free without purchase. All you had to do was hand over your aerie a list card, which was punched, and then you got free perfume or chocolate.

Now, in 2010, things are a little different.

You'd think the company would update the aerie a-list page, but it hasn't. Nevertheless, we've got the scoop.

Every Thursday in January, you can head into aerie to pick up your free lotion. Instead of an aerie card, though, you're gonna wanna use your American Eagle All-Access pass. It's your green [[or blue, if you've had it for ages]] rewards card. You usually scan that to get credit for any of your AE Family [[AE, aerie, 77 kids]] purchases. Now, have it scanned once a month on a Thursday, and you can pick up your free lotion.

QuickChek: Scott And Todd And Coffee In The Morning

I listen to Scott & Todd on WPLJ on the way to work in the morning. You know who doesn't? Jason Castro.

How do I know this? He tweeted to say he was gonna be on 99.5 WPLJ on Wednesday morning. I tweeted him back to say it's 95.5, not 99.5, but he didn't write me back.

If he was listening to Scott & Todd the other day, he'd know that if you head to your local QuickChek, you could get free coffee in cups with Scott and Todd's faces on them.

First you have to click this link and sign up to be friends with QuickChek on Facebook. Then you can get the free coffee, which I've heard is a blend of chocolate and macadamia nuts.

There's no QuickChek around me, so you're gonna have to try that one out for yourself.

Mail In Rebate: Hershey's Pieces

Maria from Oh Lovely {Coupons} is my best friend. Sorry to my other best friends, but you're dropped. You should have told me about free chocolate.

Maria did.

She's the winner.

If you head over to this link, you'll find a rebate form. If you mail it with a wrapper from Hershey's Special Dark dark chocolate bar, Almond Joy candy bar, York Peppermint Pattie, or Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, you'll get a coupon for a free pack of pieces. They come in Reese's, Almond Joy, Hershey's Special Dark, or York [[make sense?]].

They're available at CVS, and are actually a part of the bonus pack deals that are good through Valentine's. The coupon should only take two to four weeks, so it might come just in time.

If not, you still have to hurry. This is only good for the first 25,000.

Rite Aid: The Bunny Is Coming

Beth loves Cadbury Creme eggs. And she definitely loves Rite Aid's video values coupons. So she's totally gonna love this deal.

See, she mentioned that there was a $.50/2 Cadbury coupon this month, and that's the one she was most excited for. Well, she needs to get even more excited because if you watch the video here, print the coupon, and take it to your local Rite Aid this week, you can get two Cadbury Creme eggs for 50 cents, according to Denise from Coupons For Your Family.

Yup, they're on sale for 50 cents each, so after the coupon, they're only a quarter. Considering that if you buy these before Easter, they're usually about 89 cents a pop. So stop reading and head over to Rite Aid for cheap basket stuffers.

Referral Wednesday: Drugstore Divas On Bzzagent

I've been wracking my brain -- and some fellow bloggers' brains -- trying to figure out what makes blogs popular. It's not that we're all trying to be Homecoming Queen or anything, but we're trying to make a dent.

And one of the suggestions that came up was Bzzagent.

Now, chances are you've been paying enough attention to Drugstore Divas to know we've chatted about Bzzagent before. But, this time, we need your help. We created a Drugstore Divas bzzscape here. The more people who visit that page, the better.

So, if you have a Bzzagent account, this is what we need from you. Sign in. Click this link, and follow Drugstore Divas' bzzscape. Below, we have six links to various parts of the blog. Rate those all five stars.

That's it. That's what we need.

If you'd like, pass it along to your friends. Every little bit helps.

The bigger we get, the more we can offer you. We're in talks with some great sponsors and we'll have some great giveaways soon, but the more popular we are, the better stuff we can offer you guys.

Walgreens: Free Shampoo For Men

This deal is on Pert Plus for Men. Walgreens has Pert Plus for Men on sale two for $5. And there is a $2 register reward when you buy two.

There is a $1.50 off any Pert Plus for Men coupon. Combine two coupons with the Walgreens register rewards and you are looking at two free shampoos for the man in your life.

If you don't have anyone to buy men's shampoo for, you can get two bottle of regular Pert Plus for $1. The regular Pert Plus coupons are only for $1, so you can use two of them instead.

Kroger: Mega Rebate

Kroger is having Mega Deals this week, and I'm completely jealous. We brought you Kroger matchups the other day, so hopefully you've had a bunch of fun shopping.

Well, to make it even better, Renae from Madame Deals, one of the members of our Supermarket Social, emailed me to let me know that after the Kraft and Nabisco deals, you could turn your Kroger shopping into a moneymaker after a mail in rebate. Wanna know how? Check out her full post here.

Jamba Juice: Cheap Breakfast

I realize that picture is old. For whatever reason, Jamba Juice doesn't mind us using an old promo picture, but when we try to get our hands on a current photo, there's all this drama with Flash.

In any case, the deal is fresh. And that's what matters. Every Wednesday in January, you can get oatmeal for $1 at Jamba Juice. Apparently, it's steel-cut oatmeal. I have no idea if that mean you'll be ripped after you eat it or if that's actually the name of a type of oatmeal.

You can tell how often I frequent Jamba Juice, huh?

I do know that your oatmeal is gonna be topped with real fruit. And fruit is probably part of your New Year's diet, so this is a pretty good way to stick with it. Through the first month, at least.

Rite Aid: Slimming Down

SlimQuick slimshots were on sale about a year ago, so I knew it came in a liquid. But it wasn't until today, when super reader Lucy emailed me, did I know they're in a powder form too.

And why did she tell me this, you wonder.

Because she found an incredible deal on the powder.

She said at her local Rite Aid, the SlimQuick weight loss packets, which usually cost about $20, were on clearance for $5.12. So far, so good, right?

But Lucy is an avid reader of Drugstore Divas. She knew how to make this a better deal. If you head over to this link, you can print off $5 coupons.

Yup. That makes this 12 cents. For something that's gonna cost you $20 if Lucy didn't let you know better. Thanks Lucy!

The Limited: Free Cami Online

I just came across this email from The Limited. The deal ends tonight [[January 26]] so hurry! If you buy any regular priced top, you will get a free cami. Add a cami to your cart and when you go to checkout it will be free.

I must have about twenty camis from The Limited. They are the best, they wash well, they last forever, and there is no annoying tag. So go splurge on a cute top for yourself.

CVS: Good Deal Alert -- Free Ivory

In case you didn't get in on the last Ivory soap sale, you should have some of the $1/1 Ivory soap coupons left. Well, this week you are in luck. CVS has the 3-pack of Ivory soap on sale for 99 cents.

I actually still have a bunch of coupons left and my mom loves this stuff so more free soap for Mom thanks to CVS.

Welcome Frugal Mom Jenn To The Supermarket Social

Please help me welcome Jenn from Frugal Mom Jenn to our Supermarket Social. Jenn is going to be bringing us her ShopRite deals.

I don't know if anyone is going to be more excited about that than me ... because ShopRite is generally my supermarket of choice [[except during A&P triples, of course]].

Jenn's blog is really pretty [[it makes me jealous and wanting a blog makeover]], but don't check it out just for that. She has a new feature each Monday called Frugal Mom Methods [[or Monday Methods]]. She's going to give you a really helpful tip each week. This week's is about freezing. Check it out ... after you welcome her to the Social, of course.

If you wanna get involved in the Social, or know a blogger who would, drop me an email at drugstoredivalisa(at)gmail.com.

Guest Post: Saving With Shortcuts.com

I was looking at Melissa and Shelly from Stockpiling Moms' Kroger deals, and I noticed references to Shortcuts coupons. None of the stores around me use shortcuts.com, so I'm pretty clueless about how that works. I asked Melissa if she would guest post and let us know about them. She graciously agreed.

PathMark: Good Deal Alert -- Coffee-Mate

If you've hung out with me or Mallory in the last few months, there's a chance you've been to one of our Coffee-Mate parties. And, at these parties, we've had $1/1 coupons to give away.

If you still have some, I suggest you head over to PathMark this week [[ending 01/28]]. The 16 oz Coffee-Mate creamers are on sale for $1 and after the coupon, it makes them free. Now that's a great deal.

Weis: Coke Deal

When I first looked at my Weis ad for this week [[ending 01/30]] I was a little confused. Hadn't I seen this exact deal somewhere else? Yep I did at Redner's for the same week. That was a little strange.

So Weis has Coke 12-packs on sale four for $11. And you get two free bags of Snyders of Hanover pretzels when you buy four 12-packs. The only difference in this deal from the Redner's one is that you don't need an id-ad coupon at Weis. Good time to stock up for the Super Bowl parties.

Free Sample: o.b. Tampons

I remember being in high school, and the worst thing was to have your period. Because, at some point, you had to go to the bathroom, and you wanted to do is so discretely. But you were a kid, and you didn't know any way to hide your feminine products, except for bringing your purse to the bathroom with you. Which was generally even worse when you didn't use a purse but carried your books in a backpack. So there you were, lugging your backpack to the bathroom. And, since the idea of you carrying a bomb or weapon was zero at the time [[we're talking pre-Columbine]], well, everyone knew it was your time of the month.

This season's high school females have it so much better.

See, they can just head over to this link, and get a free sample of o.b.'s incredibly small tampons. But not only are they incredibly inconspicuous because they're so tiny, they come in this really pretty carrying case that doesn't at all like a tampon holder from the past.

It's not nearly as clever as this creation, but it's pretty darn smart.

Rite Aid: Sensodyne

Our motto here at Drugstore Divas is "Life is expensive; toothpaste shouldn't be." Therefor I do not like to spend money on toothpaste. There are so many deals on toothpaste I don't see the point. But Sensodyne is never one of those free deals.

And of course, my mom only uses Sensodyne. And I never see it for a good deal. But this week is different. Rite Aid has it on sale for $4.99 and is giving back $1 in single check rebates. That brings your total down to $3.99.

There is also a $1/1 coupon that will bring your total down to just $2.99. I know that is a lot for us Divas to spend on toothpaste, but sometimes you have to be brand picky. And this is a good deal. Now if only Rite Aid had a limit higher than just one.

Free Samples: Peyton Won The Lick Off

I'm still upset over last night. I don't wanna talk about it. The Jets had the game at halftime. Championship games should only be one half. Ugh. Talk about a disappointing 30 minutes to end it.

In any case, Peyton and the Colts may have won the game ... and Peyton and his brother won the lick off with Donald Trump. Yeah, I still don't know what that really means, but I do know that anyone who is Facebook friends with Oreo will win free cookies starting right now [[3 p.m., est.]]. The offer is good for the first 125,000 people, so hurry there. And become our Facebook friend while you're at it.

You'll win some golden Oreos, which sounds like a promotion that's a little too early for the Olympics. But it would have been great with Shaun White. Love him.

Mail Call Monday

I'm typing this as the Jets are down by ten in the background, so forgive me for not being all happy and just getting to the punch. This is Mail Call Monday. On what is probably a dreary Monday.

I got ...

Redner's: Silk Soymilk

I just told you about the Silk Soymilk printable coupon. I had no idea that it would come in handy so soon. And I may have found a new grocery store in Redner's [[that was a post from just the other day]]. Redner's has Silk Soymilk on sale two for $5.

There was also a $.55/1 coupon from the inserts. After the coupons double, you are looking at just $1.50 per half-gallon. For me that is cheaper than a gallon of regular milk. And the good think about Silk Soymilk is that unlike regular milk it usually has a long expiration date. So it is okay to stock up.

Kroger: Weekly Deals For 01/25 To 01/31
