High Value Dove Deodorant Printable

Wow!!! This is a high value Dove Deodorant coupon that should net free or better than free deodorant very soon!  You might want to print before it reaches its print limit.

Hot Rebate deals at Staples - Start Sunday *Updated with my run!



I have to admit I am always keeping my eyes open for ways to get free copy paper. Being a couponer means needing paper to print those wonderful high value Ip's.
Well, I really love Staples because a few times a year they offer free or cheap copy paper. I try to take advantage of these offers everytime they become available so I have never had to "pay" for paper!

Well, this weekend Staples is at it again. They have MANY items for free after Staples EasyRebates and a few that are cheap. I love their EasyRebates because you can do them online; quicker and NO STAMP!

Here are the items listed in the ad I just got in my inbox:

Pentel RSVP pens item #474054 $2
Earn $2 EasyRebate Limit 1
Final price : FREE

Staples Gold paper clips item # 480113 $2
Earn $2 EasyRebate Limit 2
Final price : FREE

Staples #10 Security Envelopes item # 394057 $5
Earn $5 EasyRebate Limit 2
Final price : FREE

Hp Everyday 8.5x11 Photo paper 50 pack item # 809757 $ 8.99
Earn $8.99 EasyRebate Limit 2
Final price : FREE

Hammermill 8.5x11 Copy Plus paper item # 122408 $5.99
Earn $4.99 EasyRebate Limit 2
Final price : $1 each

Staples Brights 8x11 24lb ream colored paper asst skus $10.99
Earn $7.99 EasyRebate Limit 2
Final price : $3 each

Well, I also happened to have gotten a $10/50 Office Depot coupon in my inbox (if your store does not take competitor coupons you can go to RecycleBank and get a Staples $10/50)

I am planning to do the following:

1 Pentel RSVP pens $2
2 Staples Gold paper clips $22 Staples #10 Security Envelopes $5
2 Hp Everyday 8.5x11 Photo paper 50 pack $ 8.99
2 Hammermill 8.5x11 Copy Plus paper $5.991 Staples Brights 8x11 24lb ream colored paper $10.99
= $56.95 - $10 coupon
= $46.95 x tax (my rate is 8.25%)
= $50.82

Receive back $51.95 for a final profit of $1.13 and I get 2 reams of paper to print more coupons!

*This post is for qrazyguy per his request in chat ;P

*Update, I just went to my Staples with my MIL to show how super easy Staples can be.  It took us under 10 minutes to round up our stuff and head to checkouts.  I used my $10/50 for Office Depot and altered my scenario slightly than the one above(I don't really need pens and paper clips)
I purchased 2 envelopes, 2 photo papers, 2 reams of paper and 1 bright color paper. 
Total was $50.95 less $10 Office Depot q = $40.95 + tax = $44.33

Came home, took the picture, logged into Staples and entered rebates (took about 1.5 minutes) and opted for the rebates via check.  Will get back $45.95 in rebates for a profit of  $1.62!  Now that was EASY (hehe)

Alright Walmart, You have my Attention

Wow!!  Looks like Walmart finally wants to try to compete for us couponers' business.
Corporate has made some revisions to their coupon policy and even have gone so far as to have a link to the printable pdf of their policy.  I do suggest you print one and take with you to the store as I doubt the new rules have fully trickled down to all the staff.

I really like a few of the changes, including:
Walmart accepts the following types of coupons :
  • Competitors' coupons that feature a specific item for a specified price for example, $2.99              (they are not clear if we can use manuf coupons with these?)
  • Checkout coupons (also called "Catalinas") that are printed at our competitors' registers, have "Manufacturer Coupon" with specific requirements printed on them, a valid remit address for the manufacturer, valid expiration date, and a scannable bar code.
AND the mother of all changes!!!!!!!!:
The following are guidelines and limitations:
  • Coupons may exceed the price of the item. Change may be given or applied toward the cost of the basket purchase. 
 WHOOP!  This is awesome and I will certainly be more inclined to give this rule a run for its money.


Thanks Hip2Save for the heads up.

Safeway (Randalls) run today- Some good freebies/cheapies

Today was the first day I was able to get out on the new ad and I was ill prepared with my coupons, so did not do everything I hope to do.  I also was starting to shake due to lack of food/sugar balance in my blood stream, so not the usually time to go through coupons and clip (my fav cashier actually almost begged me to leave to eat she saw the shakes were getting bad!)

*Keep in mind my stores double 1 like coupon up to and including .50 and triple 1 like coupon up to and including .39!

Anyway, I scored the following deals (after the deals I got, I will post the deals I know are going on that are not pictured due to lack of planning/knowing on my part)

6 California Pizza Kitchen Singles $2.50 each - 1 $1.25 facebook coupon(all I had left) =13.75
-$5/15 frozen food coupon from ad
=8.75  (earned 6 $1.25 catalina for total oop of $1.25 for 6 pizzas or .21 each, better if you have more coupons! or the $1/1 inserts from 2-20 RP we didn't get in Houston)

Tide Stain Release $2.99 each - $3 insert 2-27 PG = FREE (last coupon beeps)
Tide trial size single load .99 - .35 insert = -.06 (not sure why, but it fully tripled!)

Yoplait Kids yogurt $1.99 - $1 for 50% -.50 IP = -.01

Sierra Mist .88 - free catalina(not sure how I earned this one?) = FREE

2 Vitamin Water Zero $1 each - $2* Randalls Living Well booklet coupon - 2 .75 tearpad = -$1.50
*Randalls coupon states $1/2 but it took off $2?

4 Quaker Oats oatmeal $2.50 each - .73 each (in ad coupon to make them $1.77) - 4 $1.25 for 50% clearance stickers - $1 insert 1-2 RP = -$1.92*
*I should have also received a catalina :Buy 3 get $1, buy 4 get $2 or buy 5+ get $3

3 Millstone coffee $1.69 each - $2 insert = -.93

2 Oscar Mayer Honey ham(not pictured) with 50% stickers $2.99 - $1.50 each 50% stickers - .75 tearpads = $1.48/2 totes of lunch meat (sorry I took pic after kiddos went to bed and forget to drag out the meat and just remembered it when I was looking at receipt)


Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks .99 each* wyb at least 4 -.50/2 IP -2 .50 cellfire =  $1.96 (earned $2 back for purchasing 4 BC fruit snacks
*since I only used 1 .50/2 paper coupon, that left 2 boxes of snacks without coupons so my cellfire .50/2 stacked on these leaving me with $1/2 ecoupon savings on these two boxes- I could not achieve those results with paper coupons since only 1 like doubles in my region, so definitely worth loading cellfire coupons every two weeks for these deals!) Catalina deal: Buy 3 get $1, buy 4 get $2 or buy 5+ get $3

4 Pillsbury crescent rolls $1.50 - $4 instant savings* - .4 .75 Joy of football coupons = -$1
*My $4 instant savings did not come off so they took off $4 manually since my store was tagged for the sale.
pillsbury
-3 $1.25 catalinas from prior CPK deal
= 3.02  oop but earned $2 for Bc fruit snacks, $7.50 for CPK promo and will email catalina about $2 needed for Quaker promo.
So final tally $3.02 + 3.75 in cats - 11.50 = 4.73 MM

Another deal I saw was on the GM cereal.  Many selections for $1.49 wyb 4.
Some of these include
Cinnamon Burst Cheerios .75 IP found here or here = .74 each
Quaker Oat Squares -$1 insert 1-30 RP = .49 each YUM!

Marie's dressing $1.49 wyb 4
-$1 IP 
= .49 each (if you have access to 2 computers)
