Money Maker at CVS: Glucerna Shakes

Buy Glucerna shakes and make $1.51 per pack at CVS, plus get an additional rebate for $1 per pack! Here's how:

Register at the Glucerna website. After you register, sign up for the "Control Plan for Weight Loss" feature. When you have finished that, go to your Control Center, and there you will find a printable coupon for $10 off a Glucerna shakes multipack. Don't forget to backspace and refresh your page to print a second coupon.

This week at CVS you get $2 ECB's when you buy $10 of Abbott Nutrition products. The Glucerna shakes qualify for this. They cost $10.49 per pack. So, buy a pack of shakes for $10.49, and use your $10 off coupon. Pay $.49 and receive $2 in ECB's.

To make the deal even better, you can send in for a rebate at Caregiver's Marketplace. You must buy at least 5 packs, and they will give you $1 cash back for each pack.

Free Ink Refill at Walgreens

There was a coupon Sunday's Parade magazine for a free ink cartridge refill at Walgreens. The coupon is good on Wednesday, April 2. They will refill any refillable black or color cartridge except for Epson or Canon. If you did not get a coupon in your local paper, you can print one here or get one from the in-store circular.

Make sure you go take a peek at the Monday Grocery Gathering!

Super Savings Saturday

I got a ton of great deals this week! It would take me way too long to list them all, so I will just do the highlights.

On Thursday, I went to Harris Teeter, Wal-Mart, and 2 grocery salvage stores. Here is everything I got:

My total for all of this was $32.08!

Today I went to Ingles and the thrift store.

At Ingles, I got this stuff...

...and I paid $2.64 for it! I used my coupon for a free product from Mission (read about it in my Mail Call post). The lunch meat was marked down to $1.99 for a pound. The success rice was free after my coupon doubled. The salad was marked down to $1.49 and $0.99. I had found coupons for $2.00 off 2 when I was at Harris Teeter, so I got both salads for $0.47.

At the thrift store I found some tennis shoes for my son. They were $0.99.

Mail Call!

I only got two things in the mail today, but they were both good.

First, I got my sample of True Lemon. It had 2 packets of True Lemon, 1 of True Lime, and 1 of True Orange. It also had a coupon for $.40 off.

Second, I got a check from American Consumer Opinion for $8.00. I really like doing surveys from them because they send you a check as soon as you complete a survey, and they generally pay you between $4.00 and $8.00. I have also been able to do product testing for them. I get to keep the product, and I get a check as well.

Free Stuff by Phone

I found this on More Than Enough:

Two great freebies to share from the 800 numbers I have called.

Apple & Eve Juice (1-800-960-8018) - Sent me a coupon for one free Apple & Eve Juice product coupon along with 2 $1/1 coupons! You can also register on their website for additional coupons; sign up to be on their Advisory Panel; and sign up to participate in surveys for more free product vouchers! Click here to register.

Soy Joy Bars (1-888-676-9569) - Sent me a coupon for a free Soy Joy bar!

Get a Free Swingline Stapler

All you have to do is take a short survey (I promise it is very short) and you will get a free Swingline stapler worth $20! Click here

Do you have a Grocery Salvage Store?

Some of my favorite places to shop are at the 2 grocery salvage stores I have nearby. I can get lots of things for just as cheap or cheaper than I can with coupons, and I don't have to do all the work organizing my coupons. For example: canned goods = $.35, all pasta = $.25, juice = $.75. I got a whole bunch of granola bars yesterday for $.33 a box. To find out if you have one of these stores near you, try checking Yahoo. Click on the "local" tab at the top, type in your zip code, and do a search for "Grocery salvage stores" or something of that nature. You never know, you might find out you have one that you never knew about.

More-Than-Free Glade Plug-ins

If you got a Sunday paper on March 16th, you should have gotten a coupon for $3 off a Glade Plugins Scented Oil Warmer. These are only $2.47 at Wal-Mart. I got 2 of them today, and made $.53 on each. I bought a case of Pampers, 3 boxes of Honey Bunches of Oats, and 2 Glade Plug-ins. I used 3 of the $2 Honey Bunches of Oats coupons and 2 of the $3 Glade Plug-ins coupons. (I should have used a Pampers coupon, but it was in the car, and I didn't feel like going back out.) My total for everything was less than the price of the Pampers! I love overage!

Harris Teeter: Oh, so much fun!

Early this morning I found myself on my way to Harris Teeter to take advantage of their triple coupons. I was a bit nervous as I have never had the opportunity to do this before, and I wasn't sure if it would turn out as well as I was hoping. But it did! Here's what I got:

The grand total? $10.24

And the really incredible thing about this is that $10 worth of this stuff I didn't even use coupons for!

Remember that catalina on Kellogg's cereal at Bi-lo and Food Lion? Well, they have the same thing at Harris Teeter. I bought Raisin Bran because I had some $3/2 coupons. It was also on sale for $2.39 a box. So I bought my 7 boxes of cereal first, got my $10 catalina, then started a new order and used my $10 off on all my other items. I paid $7.40 for the cereal, then paid $2.84 for everything else.

Wow! What a great day!

It's time for the Thursday edition of the Grocery Gathering over at BeCentsAble. Make sure you go over and take a look!

Good deal on cereal at Food Lion

This is very similar to the Bi-Lo deal I posted earlier. I got this from Candace via Money Saving Mom:
Starting tomorrow, select Kelloggs cereals go on sale B1G1 (Frosted Flakes, Corn Pops, Fruit Loops and Apple Jacks). The regular price is $2.96-$3.25, so you can get one for $1.48-$1.63.
There is a catalina that prints until 3/30 for any Kelloggs (12 oz or larger):
buy 3-4 save $3 on next order
buy 5-6 save $6 on next order
buy 7 or more save $10 on your next order
There is a limit of two free (I assume on each kind), so if you buy 7 you'll have to get 4 of one kind, three of another, or some other combination. It has to be all in one transaction.
If you buy 7 it should cost $10.36-$11.41, and you get a catalina for $10 back.
