Old Navy: $1 Flip Flops

Old Navy is calling it a "Feeting Frenzy". I think frenzy is the right word. I can only imagine how packed Old Navy will be this Saturday. Solid color flip-flops are on sale for $1!

The limit is 5 per customer and while supplies last. Old Navy's Facebook page says you need the coupon for the sale so visit Facebook now and print yours. Don't worry I will remind you on Saturday ... like you could forget anyways.

CVS: Calling All Shoppers

This is less of a post and more of a call to arms.

See, Courtney at My Dallas Mommy emailed to let me know about the Pantene CRT and a deal at CVS to go with it.

Now, I knew of the half off shampoo, but she said that you can get Pantene for 2/$6.97 with $2 back, ending today [[June 30]].

My mom scanned all different bottles of shampoo and stylers and couldn't find any for that price. I'm headed to CVS in a bit to see what I can find. But, if you've got more details on this, please let me know.

Charlotte Russe: Put A Ring On It

The Charlotte Russe at my mall got a makeover. It looks all high-end and classy now.

Not that I've been inside since the overhaul, come to think of it.

If you have, and if you like Charlotte Russe, then head there today [[June 30]]. See, you can get a free ring with a $35 purchase.

I just realized that you actually have to sign up here for the emails. But, if anyone needs, send me an email -- drugstoredivalisa(at)gmail.com -- and I can forward you mine.

Rite Aid: Crest Of Honor

Don't forget: In order to get many of the sale prices at Rite Aid, you need to be a part of the store's new Wellness+ program. Sign up online here.

I haven't been to Rite Aid yet this week. Truth be told, I haven't done much of anything this week. Oh sure, soon I'm flying internationally, but before then, I've done pretty much no shopping.

Which means I haven't been to Rite Aid this week [[ending 07/03]].

But I should go.

See, Crest toothpaste is $2.99 with $2.99 back as a single check rebate, making it free.

In Sunday's inserts, there was a $1/1 coupon [[actually, we had three $1/1 coupons, I dunno about you]] for Crest toothpaste. After the coupon, it's a moneymaker.

Now, I'm not particularly crazy about Crest toothpaste, but to make money, yup, works for me. Rite Aid, here I come.

Referral Wednesday: Bake At 350

We've been over this before, but, in case you're new here: I love baking. Absolutely love it. It's such a happy passion of mine. I want to open a bakery one day, and I want to start a baking website, and I just can't get enough of people who already having baking sites.

So, when I stumbled over a new one, well, of course I had to share it as a Referral Wednesday.

The site: Bake at 350.

I absolutely love it. Her baked goodies look so fantastic -- even the cupcakes her son did.

Her blog has a homey feel. It's really inviting. I feel like I'm right in her kitchen. And I totally wish I could be. I'd love to bake with someone who creates desserts with such a balance of love and precision.

This one is definitely on my list of blogs to keep track of.

CVS: What's In Your Scanner?

I haven't been to CVS yet to scan my card. I'm going tonight, but I wanted to get this post up for those of you who have already gone.

What did you get from the scanner?

I got word from my friend Maria that she got a $2 off Pantene CRT, which goes great with all the clearanced shampoo we told you about the other day.

Like weeks past, let us know what you got in the comments, and we'll add it to the post.

CRTs:

$2 off Pantene
$6 off Prevacid
$1/3 bags of Gold Emblem candy
$2 off Bounty 6-pack

Rite Aid And CVS: Stayfree Stock-Up

Don't forget: In order to get many of the sale prices at Rite Aid, you need to be a part of the store's new Wellness+ program. Sign up online here.

I love it when there is a good coupon and a deal to go with it all in the same week. There was a buy one get one free Stayfree coupon in the 6/27 inserts. Now we need a Stayfree sale.

Both Rite Aid and CVS have Stayfree on sale for buy one get one free. Use the coupon at either Rite Aid or CVS and you are getting two for free. Time to stock up.

Powerbar: Getting More For Your Money

I quite like the Powerbar energy bars I told you about. When we chatted last, the limit was three -- and I was saving a small place in my stomach for the Peanut Butter Nut variety.

Well, my stomach is in luck.

The monthly limit of three has been increased to five. Yes, five. Fantastic.

You can get the Powerbar Pure & Simple in either Peanut Butter Nut or Cranberry Oatmeal Cookie.

Stay away from the cookie. I'm warning you. It tastes like a dry protein bar. The Peanut one though, delish.

CVS: I Went Shopping

If you know me, you know that I live for Aveeno lotion. I can't use any others [[besides Curel]] on my hands. But, truth be told, I never tried any products except lotion by Aveeno. So, that's all gonna change since I bought some new Aveeno shampoo on Sunday at CVS. Here's my trip for your viewing pleasure.

I bought:
$3 -- Two newspapers
$6.49 -- Aveeno shampoo
$6.49 -- Aveeno conditioner
$6.49 -- Aveeno shine spray
$6.49 -- Aveeno gel-creme
$.99 -- Powerbar
$.99 -- Powerbar
Total: $31.96

Coupons:
$4/$20 from the scanner
$1.50 -- Aveeno shampoo or conditioner printable
$1.50 -- Aveeno shampoo or conditioner printable
$1.50 -- Aveeno styler printable
$1.50 -- Aveeno styler printable
Total: $10

Total after coupons: $21.96

Used $22 in ecb. Got back $10 for the Aveeno and $1.98 for the Powerbars, so about $12.

But I'll get back $10 from this mail in rebate.

So it'll all be free in the end ... except I will pay the cost of the stamp.

Victoria's Secret: Sale Is Ending

We've been chatting about Victoria's Secret's semi-annual sale. I feel like it's been going on forever. But that's probably because I'm waiting for it to end so I can go shopping.

Speaking of it ended, I got an email today, letting me know that the semi-annual sale ends at Victoria's Secret today [[June 28]].

That means I'll be there on Tuesday, looking for my after-sale sale.

And The Winners Are ...

It's that time folks. Time to announce the winners in our two contests that ended recently.

Our first winner, in our Stash For Saving Animals giveaway is beadgirl, who, according to her winning comment voted for the shelter and was glad she did.

Our second winner, in our KIWI Smiling Feet giveaway is Ladytink_534, who doesn't wear heels to work.

Thanks to everyone who entered. We've got another giveaway coming up soon, so be sure to keep your eyes out for it.

Mail Call Monday

Things are getting better on the Mail Call Monday front. At least, they seem to look better. One-third of the stuff in this picture came in one sample pack, but that's fine with me. As long as it's coming, I don't care how it's packaged.

This week, I got ...

P&G Sample pack from Sam's club with Cascade; Tide; Pantene; and Prilosec

Pantene sample

Stacy J sauce

Tropicana OJ free coupon

Curel sample

Butterfinger free candy bar coupon

Free Sample: Veria Lip Balm

My friend went to Hawaii last Spring and she came back with a key chain for me and a tan for her. Oh, sure, other stuff for her too, but I did get something she didn't bring me: a bit of jealousy. Yup, I wanna go to Hawaii.

This might be my chance.

Lovely reader Stacy let us know in our Freebie Friday post that if you head over to this link you can get a free Veria vanilla-flavored organic lip balm.

But, what she didn't mention is that the lip balm is actually your "thank you" prize for entering to win a trip to Hawaii.

Fingers crossed one of our readers wins the big prize. But, if you don't get to go to the big island, at least you'll have balmed lips.

Parade Magazine: Super Coupons Inside

I was in the car, headed to CVS, about to buy my newspapers. See, I get two every week, and I have two options. I can get one from New York with USA Weekly inside or I can get one from Jersey with Parade Magazine inside.

As I was driving, I got a text from my friend Maria, telling me that the coupons in Parade [[with Willie Nelson on the cover]] were fantastic.

That made my decision easy. Hello Jersey paper.

I would have typed the coupons up for you, but Maria already did that and emailed it to me.

Ah, friends are super nice.

Inside are:

$1/1 Lactaid Milk

15% off at the GAP Outlet & 15% off at the Banana Republic Factory Store
BOTH are having huge sales July 1st – 6th

$1/1 3lb or larger Reeser’s Salad

Pantene Restoratives or Restore Beautiful Lengths – BOGO

$2/1 ANY Pantene Styler, Treatment, or Spray

$1/2 ANY Pantene Products

$1/1 Pepto Bismol Product

$3/1 Metamucil Product

$5/1 ANY Align Product

$5/1 ANY Prilosec Product

Coupon Alert: Mentos [[Part 2]]

I love responsible companies. It, like, it warms my heart to know that there are reputable people out there who do the right thing. And when a company does the right thing, it's huge.

And when a company does the wrong thing, it's awful [[I'm looking at you, BP]].

So, when I get a chance to rave about a great company, I will. Speaking of ... on Friday, I posted a coupon alert for Mentos. I didn't, however, get the coupon to print.

Turns out, I wasn't the only one.

Lisa from Living Large on Loose Change left a comment on that post saying Mentos posted the following:

Hey guys! If you had a coupon print-fail with Friday's BOGO, please email MentosScrewedUpMyCoupon@gmail.com with your mailing address, and we'll send you the coupons the old fashioned way: by carrier pigeons! (Or just the USPS.) And don't worry- your info. won't be shared with anyone. Please email us by 9 a.m. EST June 28th. This offer is open only to our Facebook fans in the U.S., and you must be 13+ to participate.

. Of course, I quickly emailed that address. Automatically, I got this response: Thanks for your email. We're sending your coupon!

I really do hope Mentos mails my coupon. At least the company is trying. It's saying, "Oops, we made a mistake. Our coupon didn't print. Let's make good on it."

That's huge in my book. Thanks Mentos, for doing the right thing.

Sunday Coupon Preview

Like I've been saying the past few days, we're revamping things at Drugstore Divas. We're trying our best to figure out what works and what doesn't.

Feedback is totally helpful. That's why we've got this week's Sunday Speak.

Here's another thing we're gonna try: The Sunday Coupon preview.

If you head to this link you can see the coupons for today's paper. That way, you can decide if it's worth buying or not.

There's a Smart Source and a Red Plum insert in your paper.

Some of my faves are the Rimmel $1 off; the Warm Delights $.75 off; and the Schick Quattro $4 off coupon.

Which is your favorite coupon this week?

Sunday Speak: Your Two Cents Welcome

I love putting my two cents in. I have lots of ideas and thoughts and opinions on just about everything. Now the Divas need your two cents. Not literally, we know you can get lots of great deals with two pennies.

Lisa already hinted that we are changing some things here at the Divas. Our readers let us know what they were looking for and we are happy to comply. All the changes may take some time so be patient with us. We hope in the end to bring you even more drugstore deals -- and all the best deals.

In the meantime, is there anything else you are looking for? Do you have any suggestions or thoughts on how to make our site even better? Feel free to email me or Lisa or comment here. We love to know what our readers think.

Weis: Butter Me Up

I had a Popsicle at work the other day and there was a joke on it.

What did the toast say to the knife?

Butter me up.

Speaking of butter, I got an email from Weis that same day. And if you click this link, you'll get a bogo coupon for Weis butter.

Also, speaking of Weis, if you head to this link, you can find out how to win tickets to the Nascar Race at Pocono Raceway.

Butter me up. Ha.

AMF Bowling: Some Spare Change

My brother texted me a picture of a huge beaker-like beer glass the other day. It was four feet tall, it seemed. He added that he was bowling the best game of his life and if our parents had only gotten him beer when he was younger, he'd be a bowling sensation.

I can hear the PBA calling him now [[that's Professional Bowling Association, in my head, although I don't actually think that's the right acronym]].

My brother lives just outside the City, where bowling -- and everything else -- is super expensive. So I've got a deal for him ... and for those of you who like bowling too.

Head over to this link and you can print out a bogo coupon for any AMF bowling alley. And, if you're looking for a bowling buddy, call my brother -- as long as you're bringing the beer.

Rite Aid: I Went Shopping

Don't forget: In order to get many of the sale prices at Rite Aid, you need to be a part of the store's new Wellness+ program. Sign up online here.

So, I've been chatting much about how we're going to revamp Drugstore Divas. And part of that is going to be posting more trips. We focus a great deal on teaching you how to shop, but I want to make a point of showing you that, yes, I do shop too.

Plus, it gives me an excuse to go shopping.

So, I was hesitant to start shopping Rite Aid and worrying about +UP rewards since I'm going on vacation soon and they'll expire when I'm away. But, you know I love the Colgate ProClinical since I reviewed it, and I couldn't deny myself that.

My trip:

Transaction 1:
$3 -- Motrin PM

Coupons:
$3 -- Motrin PM from 04/18 RP

Total after coupons: $0
And I got back $3 in +UP rewards, so $3 profit.

Transaction 2:
$2.99 -- Colgate ProClinical
$1.25 -- Hershey's Symphony bar
Total: $4.24

Coupons:
$1 -- Colgate ProClinical from 06/13 SS
$3 -- +UP reward

Total after coupons: 24 cents
And I got back $2 in +UP rewards, so $1.76 profit

Free Sample: Starbucks Via

My little brother is spending the summer up at school, so it's kinda like sleepaway camp. He's hanging out, going out, and working full time.

He came home for Father's Day and was telling me he's on a budget of $25 a week for food. So, of course, my first thought was, "That kid needs some free samples sent to him asap."

So, the first I'm sending him: Starbucks Via ready brew coffee. You can get one too at this link.

It'll take about four weeks to get your sample. Which means, by then, my brother's semester will have started and he'll need the coffee for those all nighters.

CVS: Travel To Milani

For the most part, CVS' bi-annual beauty clearance is over.

Wait, bi-annual. Is that a word? It looks so foreign. Hmm.

At any rate, the twice-a-year beauty clearance [[see what I did there?]] is basically over. Anything with a green or pink sticker has been purchased and placed in someone else's makeup case.

And now, all of a sudden, my store decides to clearance a ton of Milani cosmetics. I had a picture of the box of goodies, but my phone is still on a sending-text-messages boycott. Lame.

If you saw the picture, you'd see a ton of lip items -- especially gloss. It was all marked 75% off, which put the glosses at under $2. Not bad if you're sworn to this stuff.

Saturday Sample: Dove

I'm gonna say it: I have perfect hair.

I have terrible calf muscles, and no matter how much I bike, they'll never look like a pole vaulter.

But hair, even using cheap brands [[you know, the ones that are under $1 -- regular price]], yup, my hair comes out pretty fantastic.

So when I got asked to review the new Dove Daily Treatment conditioners, this week's Saturday Sample, I was stoked.

There are two: Intensive Repair [[for split ends]] and Moisture Treatment. They both have these fiber-serum ingredients [[that is not the technical term, by the way]] and it's supposed to go straight to the center of your hair and repair it.

I tried the Intensive Repair first. Basically, you shampoo your hair, leave this in for few minutes, rinse, and it's like you went for a treatment. Well, wouldn't you know, after the first use, I noticed split ends.

In my hair that I had just gotten four inches cut off of a few days before, mind you.

Needless to say, I was convinced that the conditioner was making split ends just so it could heal them.

I really liked the smell of it, though. The Moisture one didn't split my hair at all, so I'm leaning towards that as my fave of the two. My hair actually was really soft after using two bottles to their depletion.

Did I notice a huge difference? Eh, that's hard to say. I mean, I'm apt to say no, but I think I take super good care of my hair so it's not prone to damage where I require an expensive treatment and need a cheaper alternative.

But, for those of you who do, you might wanna check this out. If nothing else, it'll smell really nice in your shower.

Full disclosure: I was given each variant to try for this review. No money changed hands and all thoughts are my own.

Rite Aid: Gotta Wash My Hair

Don't forget: In order to get many of the sale prices at Rite Aid, you need to be a part of the store's new Wellness+ program. Sign up online here.

Pantene is trying really, really hard to get us to like them.

They're like the boy that sends you a half dozen roses on Friday, then a dozen, then bakes you a cake, then stalker calls you, then tries to take you to dinner, and next thing you know it's Friday night and that all happened in the span of twenty minutes.

It's trying too hard.

That's Pantene.

But, free shampoo is free shampoo, and my hair isn't picky.

This week [[ending 06/26]], Rite Aid has Pantene on sale for $3.50 a bottle. So two for $7. You'll get back $3 in +UP rewards when you buy two, making it $4 total -- or $2 a pop.

Well, if you still have the $2/1 coupons that came with the full-sized freebie from Vocalpoint, then use two of those and you're getting free Pantene.

If you don't have those, there are $1/2 coupons from 06/06 and from various freebies that you can use to work into a deal. That makes it $1.50 a bottle -- which is a bit much for me, but maybe you are crushing on the overkill Pantene and will pay anything for it.

CVS: Scan Your Card

Seems like Lisa just told us about the scanner coupons from CVS. I went today to get the Olay deal, which my store was all out of. And of course, I forgot to get a rain check.

But I did get the $4/$20 that is only good for three days that Lisa talked about. You can be sure I am hitting up another CVS for that Olay deal. Scan your card this weekend. My mom got one too.

Coupon Alert: Mentos

I just asked my mom if she actually buys Mentos. She always has has them, but I figured maybe she has a factory somewhere I don't know about. I mean, when we were little, she used to make Dunkaroos [[[okay, long story for another day -- remind me]].

She said, "Yes I actually buy them."

Today [[June 25]] is her lucky day, thanks to Frugal Living and Having Fun. Yours too -- if you buy them. Head over to Mentos' Facebook page and "like" them. Then, you can print out a bogo coupon.

Scratch that: It's not her lucky day. I can't get it to print. Hopefully you can.

Walmart: Ready For Fireworks

I love fireworks. They're one of my most favorite things ever. So, of course, I love Independence Day [[as a holiday, though the movie was pretty decent too]].

To celebrate the holiday, Walmart is giving out free samples of Kraft.

Okay, I know, it doesn't quite go together. But that's what the free event is, according to this. The event is going on from July 1 to 3 [[so we'll be sure to remind you]]. Type your zip in and you'll find out when your store is participating.

Old Navy: It's All On Sale

When I was 16, Old Navy opened near me. I remember spending a summer thinking it was the coolest store ever. I was skinny like a twig, and the clothes hung off me bad. I finally bought a mirror at the end of that summer and decided that the Old Navy pants I lived in kinda made me look like a shapeless boy.

That was the end of my Old Navy love affair for quite a while.

Since then, Old Navy has changed its cuts and incorporated sizes like XXS into the lineup. From the skinny girls: Thank you.

Now, I'm sorta fond of Old Navy. Which is why I'm sorta thinking about heading there this weekend.

Today [[June 25]] through Tuesday [[June 29]], everything at Old Navy is 30% off. Everything. Including the flip flops you most definitely live in through the summer.

If you can't get to a store, worry not. The sale is online too. Just enter ONBIG30 at checkout, and you'll get 30% off everything online.

And yes, everything. Including sale items.

And, just a little note: Old Navy's website says through Tuesday. I could have sworn the commercial on tv said through Sunday, so this deal looks even better now.

Rite Aid: Mickey Mouse Pad

Don't forget: In order to get many of the sale prices at Rite Aid, you need to be a part of the store's new Wellness+ program. Sign up online here.

I typed mouse pad into Google images and that picture came up.

It made me laugh.

And, really, if you can't laugh and homemade mouse pads, you're taking life too seriously.

And speaking of homemade mouse pads, Rite Aid is giving one away between now and July 24. All you have to do is log in and watch the Fugi Video Value commercial. After, click on My Rewards and print out your coupon.

The hardest part is gonna be picking what picture to put on your mouse pad.

But, just a huge FYI -- I talked to someone from Rite Aid and he let me know that the orders that are placed online are having trouble being filled. People ordered a ton more than expected. The stores, however, have enough mouse pads to accomidate orders, so you're definitely gonna wanna make this in the store.

Freebie Friday: Kotex And Fish

I don't know about you, but my mail has been kinda lame lately. It's like the free samples have dried up. Or I just haven't spent enough time on the computer finding them. But that's because it's so gosh darn nice out and the last thing I feel like doing is not getting some Vitamin D. But, we've still got a few freebies for you. If you've found any others, let us know in the comments.

Freebies

Child Safety Kit

Kotex

DiGiorno Pizza

Veria vanilla-flavored lip balm -- Thanks Stacy!

CVS: Out With The Old

I'm about ready to throw my phone out the window. If you follow us on Twitter, you already know that, because I tweeted it last night.

It's super picky, and won't text out every text. Except I only realize this when one] I bring up a text and the person I'm talking to has no clue what I'm talking about or two] I try to text an image to my email and it never arrives.

Case in point: My friend Maria texted me a photo of the Pantene clearance at her CVS. I tried to text the photo to my email to post with this post. Nope. It never showed up.

So that text to that boy ... well, I hope he's reading the blog.

But back to the deal: All of the "old" Pantene [[in the wider bottles]] is showing up at 50% off at CVS. There are $1/2 coupons floating around [[try the 06/06 SS, if I remember correctly]], so you can get them a bit cheaper.

Coupon Alert: Pepperidge Farm Goldfish

Last time we posted this, people went wild. So, here goes again.

Head over to this link and you can print out a coupon for $.50/1 pack of Pepperidge Farm Goldfish.

Hurry. Get trigger happy. It might be out of prints soon.

CVS: Stop Getting Old

I don't know if body wash can stop the aging process, but goodness knows Olay is trying to sell you that idea.

And, if you're buying it, you should definitely buy it [[literally]] at CVS this week [[ending 06/26]].

Olay Total Effects body wash is on sale for $7 a bottle [[yeah, sale, ha!]]. There is a $4/1 coupon in the most recent P&G insert. That brings you down to $3 a bottle.

If you spend $27 in Olay this week, you get $7 back in ecb.

So, you're gonna wanna do this: Buy four bottles at $28 total. Most people have gotten a $4/$20 coupon, so fork that over, and you're down to $24.

Use four $4 coupons [[$16]] to bring your total down to $8. Get back $7 and you're looking at $1 for four bottles of body wash.

Twenty-five cents each. Now that's what I call a sale.

Reminder: KIWI Smily Feet Giveaway Ends Tomorrow

There's a split with our readers: Half wear heels to work; half don't. How do I know? That was the question I asked -- and you answered -- to enter our KIWI Smiling Feet giveaway, which ends tomorrow [[June 25]], by the way.

ShopRite: Free Blood Pressure/Blood Glucose Screening

My grandma is diabetic, so diabetes has always been close to my heart. For as long as I can remember, she's gone to "shoot" herself before a meal.

I had an A1C test at work in September, and my blood sugar is totally fine. Thank goodness.

If you haven't had one lately, and you live in the Kingston, New York area, head to your local ShopRite. See, the grocery store tweeted that you can get free blood pressure and blood glucose screening today [[June 24]] between 10 am and 2 pm at the ShopRite in Kingston.

You'll also get healthy snacks and get nutritional advice for free. So, if you've got a bit of time, you might wanna stop by.

Rite Aid: Ideas For The Week Of 06/20

Don't forget: In order to get many of the sale prices at Rite Aid, you need to be a part of the store's new Wellness+ program. Sign up online here.

I was asked by a metro-television station to help put together a deal for Rite Aid. She wanted to stock up items for the bathroom only, and asked for a deal that started with $8 in +UP rewards.

I figured, since I put a ton of work into it, maybe it would help some of you out this week.

Here's what I put together:

List:
$3 -- Motrin PM
$6.99 -- Cottonelle 12-pack [[double rolls]]
$2.99 -- Colgate ProClinical
$7 -- Pantene shampoo and conditioner [[you can buy two shampoos if you'd rather]]
$3.99 -- Nivea for Men body wash
.99 -- Ivory 3-bar pack
Total: $24.96

Coupons:
$5/$20 Video Values coupon
$3 Motrin PM [[4/18 RP]]
$1 Colgate Proclinical [[6/6 SS]]
$1/2 Pantene [[6/6 SS]]
$3 Nivea for Men [[5/2 RP]]
.99 Ivory [[6/6 P&G]] -- It is $1/1, but it will adjust down because you can't use a coupon that exceeds the value of the item.
Total: $13.99

Total after coupons: $10.97

Use your $8 in +UP that you have already, so it's down to $2.97, plus tax, oop.
Get back $3 for the Motrim; $1 for the Cottonelle; $2 for the Colgate; $3 for the Pantene = $9.

CVS: What's In Your Scanner

So, here's a little insider info: We're gonna revamp here a little at Drugstore Divas. We're gonna refocus a little more on the drugstores, since that's what you come here for.

And we're gonna start that by posting a weekly CVS scanner coupon post. Starting now.

You can get new scanner coupons every Monday, so we're gonna try to get this post up on Tuesdays. It'll start for sure after I get back from vacation, so this is a trial.

I'll post what I got, you let me know what you got in the comments, and I'll edit the post.

Sound good?

I got:

$4/$20 -- valid for three days

$.50/1 pack of pretzel M&Ms

$1/1 Dove deodorant

$1/1 Thermacare heat wraps 2 or 3 count

$2/1 Bounty 6-pack

$1/3 Gold Emblem candies [[not trial size]]

$3 off any Revlon cosmetic item -- thanks Dawn

Coupon Alert: Planter's Flavor Grove Almonds

Where I used to live in Pennsylvania, that's where Mr. Peanut was born. Seriously. He was plastered on the side of a building ... and then got torn down. Eh, you've gotta move on, right?

He's moving on -- and creating new Flavor Grove Almonds. Every other Wednesday through August, you can head to Mr. Peanut's Facebook page to get a coupon for them.

Don't worry; we'll keep reminding you.

Harris Teeter: Double Trouble

I got word that Harris Teeter is having super doubles this week [[ending 06/29]]. That means super doubles starts today [[June 23]].

Take all your coupons under $2 [[so $1.99 cents is good, $2 is bad]] and bring them to the store.

You'll be able to super double 20 coupons per person, per day. It's tracked by your shoppers card, so I've been told, so you can't sneak around the system.

If you've got any great deals, let us know and we'll post them on the blog.

Thanks to Mel for helping me correct my original post. No Harris Teeter 'round here, as you can tell.

Referral Wednesday: Bzz Agent

I know we told you about BzzAgent in the past. I signed up because Lisa made me. I didn't actually do anything on the site for the longest time. Then I started getting some surveys and participated in the FrogPonds.

Next thing you knew [[okay it probably took me like a year or so]] I was now a Carpenter Bee [[it's like level two]]. If BzzAgent started everyone as a Carpenter Bee, I think more people would participate. All of a sudden I was getting great new products!

I got to try the new Hills Science Diet dog food. I didn't try it of course, but the dogs loved it! Then I got this awesome CoverGirl makeup. And both of these came with crazy good coupons. My papers never get CoverGirl ones. Now I have $2/1 coupons.

My latest is the new got2Be smoothing serum. Free trial sized packets and coupons for free got2be products and other money saving coupons. I love trying new products before anyone else.

My point in reminding you about BzzAgent is that is it work, but wow it is totally worth it. It's not hard, you answer a few questions, check out a few websites. Then one you are picked for the free sample campaigns, you just write a quick review and spread the word about the new product. That's it.

Free Sample: DiGiorno Deep Dish Pizza

Let's talk about peer pressure for a second.

Kids: Just say no.

Everyone else: I really didn't check out the free DiGiorno pizza on Facebook offer until late last night. I got emails about it, but it seemed like work.

No work, my buddy Maria assured me.

You just head to DiGiorno's Facebook page, upload your profile photo into a ready-made template, click submit, and then fill in your info for a coupon for a free DiGiorno deep dish pizza.

Well, wouldn't you know. It actually was much easier than it sounds.

I logged into the blog's Facebook page and did it from there. Really super easy.

And now I've got a free lunch coupon on the way. Do it. You'll be happy.

Nike Store: Get Updated

Reebok should be paying me a commission.

See, I bought the Easytones and fell in love with them. I walk six miles a day, and I really do think you need to walk a lot for them to actually do anything, but since I walk, they do something.

So I've been telling everyone who will listen to get a pair. Although still, Reebok has not put me on the payroll. So I don't have to support Reebok all the time.

And maybe you don't; maybe you're a Nike lover. If you are, I've got something for you. Head over to this link and you can get Nike's email updates. Chances are you'll find out about deals early ... especially coupon codes. So, sign up, and then thank me later.

Safeway: Coupon Policy Changed

I got an email from Jasmine at Dealicious Finds who let me know that there is a change in the Safeway coupon policy.

Safeway revamped its coupon policy so now the chain doesn't accept register rewards from Walgreens.

I don't have a Safeway over here, so I never knew it did. The chain will still take catalina coupons from other stores, as long as they are product specific. Since a register reward is value, not product, specific, it's a no go.

Just a little FYI for you Safeway shoppers.

Rite Aid: Sleep Free

Don't forget: In order to get many of the sale prices at Rite Aid, you need to be a part of the store's new Wellness+ program. Sign up online here.

I think this was a good week for me to get into the Rite Aid +Up rewards. Another great freebie that I can actually use. Well not me personally due to my allergies, but my mom and husband will like free Motrin PM.

Motrin PM is on sale for $3 and Rite Aid is giving you back $3 in +Up rewards. Free. But there are som egreat coupons: $3/1, $2/1 or $1/1 that will easily turn this into a money maker.

Rite Aid: Wellness+ Sign Up Is Back

We let you know not too long ago about Rite Aid's new loyalty program, Wellness+. It's just like CVS' ExtraCare program. Basically, you need a card to get many of the sale prices.

Speaking of that card, we told you how to sign up. Well, I know there are a lot of you [[because you told me]] that hadn't gone to the store to sign up. We posted a link to the online sign up [[which was also generating a $5/$25 coupon]]. If you missed out then, worry not.

You can sign up online here. That's what I did and your card comes in about a week or so. Also, when you use that link to sign up, you'll get a $5/$25. Even you've signed up in store, maybe check that page out. You might be able to sneak a $5/$25 out of it.

I know in the near future, Rite Aid is going to require a loyalty card to get all sale prices. They're starting that now with select items, but it'll go storewide very, very soon.

Rite Aid has also started rolling out a program called +UP, which rewards you for buying certain products. We'll help you start making deals using those rewards super soon.

Delia's: Filling My Wardrobe

My grandma and I went to the mall last weekend, and I fell in love with a t-shirt at Delia's. The trouble was, I had a $20 Rising Star credit, and the t-shirt was only $6.99.

My brother and I went back to Delia's over the weekend, and I found three shirts that I liked. I wasn't adding, just grabbing, and my total was $18 and change.

Why so cheap? Because Delia's is having a major blowout end-of-season clearance sale.

The sale online is a bit better than in stores [[because I totally didn't see this shirt]], but I got three tops and nail polish for exactly $1 after tax. Can't complain about that.
