The Checks In My Mail

Posted by kim on June 8, 2009

This week my mailbox has been overflowing with refund checks and free coupons as seen above. I thought I’d compile a list of current hot rebate offers so you can fill your mailbox up with cash as well – sure beats bills!

I recommend printing out the forms before you actually buy the item, as sometimes the manufacturer will take the link down before it expires, but it’s still valid.  Find/Print off coupons to combine with purchases to ultimately make a profit. Then when you make your purchases, ask for separate receipts.  I usually do the self-checkout at Walmart and check each item out by itself.  Don’t forget to mail in the rebate form before the expiration date! That’s it – enjoy your free products…

Biz Stain Fighter Money Back Guarantee - $1 printable coupon (last page) = profit

Clorox 2 Money-Back Guarantee Refund Form

I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Cooking & Baking Sticks Money Back Guarantee

Jergens Natural Glow Moisturizer Color Guarantee

Kraft 2% Milk Cheese Guarantee - $1 off printable coupon = profit

Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Crackers Cheddar Taste Guarantee These were only $1 at my Walmart (plus I had coupons), but they sent a refund check for $2.99!

Liquid-Plumr Pledge Refund Form

Menards Rebates

New! Purex Complete 3-in-1 Laundry Sheets currently on sale at Walgreens for $5.99 – $1 printable coupon – $2 Register Rewards – Satisfaction Guarantee Rebate = $3 Profit!

Reynolds Wrap Free Roll 100% Recycled Aluminum Rebate 

Spice Islands Cinnamon Refund Request Form - $1.50 printable coupon = profit

Tombstone Helps Pay Your Bills $15 Utility Credit Offer I love Tombstone pizza so this deal is a no brainer, and no cash register receipts are needed, just UPC symbols.  You then send in a copy of a utility bill (cable, gas, electricity, etc), and they’ll send the check directly to them to be applied to your bill!

Zyrtec Satisfaction Guarantee Form - $2 printable coupon = profit

And those are just the ones I’ve personally done recently. I just added several new rebate refund forms here, now there are over 100 different offers listed!

Don’t forget to sign up for free coupons to be mailed to you as well! Those are great because you don’t have to put any money out up front to redeem!  This week I received the Free Oscar Mayer Beef Franks Coupon and My Coke Rewards coupon.

P.S. Certain Kmarts are doubling coupons again this week – call your local store first to see if they are participating!

I got all of the above stuff (over $100 value) for under $20 after coupons, rebates and Register Rewards!  Here’s how…

Walgreens

Rumor has it Walgreens is discontinuing their EasySaver Rebate program. Not sure if it’s true, but there is no Rebate booklet available for May.  Instead they seem to be offering more Register Rewards (RR) that are like instant rebates you can use on your next purchase. Just be sure to use them before they expire!

Got2B HairCare 2/$10 – $2 off Coupons – $5 RR = 50¢ each

Esencia Haircare Buy 1 for $7.99, Get 1 50% off for $3.99 - $1 off Coupons – Hangtag Mail-in Rebate valid for $7.99 off Shampoo/Conditioner & $3 off Styling Product = FREE + Profit 

Nivea Body Wash $4.99 – $1 off Coupon – $5 RR = FREE + Profit

Pepsi Products 3/$11 – $3 RR = 3/$8 (I’m trying to cut back to one Diet Dew per day, so theoretically this should last me over a month)

Rembrandt Toothpaste or Mouthwash $5.99 – $6 RR = FREE

Revlon Colorsilk Hair Color $1.99 with In-Ad Coupon – $1off 2 SS Coupon = $1.49 each
(You can combine In-Ad Coupons with Manufacturer Coupons, SS = Sunday Supplement)

Reynolds Wrap 89¢ with In-Ad Coupon – 55¢ off SS Coupon = 34¢

Tresemme Hair Care 2/$7 – $1 off Coupons – $2 RR = $1.50 each (my Garbo’s stylist told me this was the best OTC haircare product)

Plus I found tons of feminine supplies on Clearance!
Walgreens Brand Tampons 10 count - 50¢
Walgreens Brand Tampons 36 count - $1.79 (under 5¢ each)
Walgreens Brand Pantiliners 92 count – $1.39
Kotex Lightdays Pantiliners 135 count (regularly $6.99) – $1.79 – $2/2 Coupon = 79¢ each
I may go back for more and stock up for my three daughters (and my sister who raids my HBA Closet)!

This & That

Did you notice my PEPSI sweatshirt?  I got that free a couple of years ago with Pepsi Stuff points, and it’s still one of my favorite.

While out and about I stopped to tan at Boss Tanning.  They offer $1 tans on Wednesdays.  I know it’s not Paint It Black 50X Extreme Silicone Auto Darkening Tanning Lotion only $15.95! Reg $99.99Wednesday, I’m just sayin’ for future reference.  And I know tanning is bad for you, causes skin cancer, blah blah blah, my mother already lectures me.  Anyway, if you tan, I have found it way cheaper to order tanning bed lotions online than from the salons.  I have found the best prices at Amazon.com (My Pick is Paint It Black 50X Extreme Silicone Auto Darkening Tanning Lotion 13.5 oz only $15.95 w/Free Super Saver Shipping! Regularly $99.99) and DollarDays.com (wholesale prices as low as 97¢ a bottle).

O’Henry Bars Recipe
4 cups Oatmeal
1 stick Margarine
1/2 cup White Syrup
1 cup Brown Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla
Mix above. Pat in 9×13 pan. Bake 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
Melt together:
1 cup Chocolate Chips
3/4 cup Peanut Butter
Spread over bottom layer and Enjoy.
