Hot new coupons from Red Plum

There are two new coupons on Red Plum that you'll definitely want to check out:

$3 off any product from The Fragrance Collection by Glade

This one is great to use at CVS this week. (They have the candles and reed diffusers on sale for $6.99, get $6.99 EB.) Plus, the smaller (2 oz.) candles retail for about $3, so you should be able to get those really cheap or even free! These don't expire until October 31.

AND

Get a FREE refill pack with the purchase of any Glade scented oil candle holder (up to $3.49)

Target frequently runs the Glade candle tins on sale for $1.66, and there are typically $1.50 coupons inside the tin. When you combine that coupon with the one above, you can score a candle tin and refills for $.16 - not bad at all! These don't expire until October 31.

These coupons probably won't last long, so print them now if you want them!

FREE sample of Kashi cereal

Kashi is currently offering a FREE cereal sample. You can choose among Honey Sunshine, Heart to Heart, or Go Lean Crunch. (You also have the option of letting them surprise you.) Limit one per household. Allow 4-6 weeks for delivery.

-$3 coupon that the cashier scanned twice (read below)

Total: $.35

Total OOP (includes tax): $3.16

Received: $14.77 EB

When the cashier went to scan my last EB (the $10), she told me it was more than $2 over what I needed. I was confused, but I'm terrible at doing math on the fly, so I just grabbed two packs of gum. After I got home, I figured out that she had scanned one of the $3 coupons twice, and I called the store. They thanked me but told me not to worry about it. Yay for surprise discounts!

My Kmart Super Doubles

Total OOP: $5.81 + tax

Yesterday, I went to visit my best friend from college, and we shopped at Kmart for the Super Doubles Event. It wasn't my best trip - I had some coupon/cashier issues (see bottom) - but I managed to find some great deals. Here's what I got:

4 boxes of Rice Krispies - 4/$9

- 4 $1 coupons from VocalPoint

- 4 $1 doubles

= 4/$1 ($.25)

Also generated a mail-in-rebate for a $5 gift card!

3 Pert Plus for Men shampoos - $2.50 each

- 3 $1.50 coupons

- 3 $1 doubles

= 3/FREE

2 Hartz Crunch n Clean bones - $3.59 each

- 2 $2 coupons

2 CoverGirl powder foundation - $7.49 and $3.75 (BOGO 50% off)

- 2 $1 coupons

- 2 $1 doubles

= 2/$7.24 ($3.62 each) (I was THRILLED to get such a good deal on these!)

2 Dove deodorant - $3.99 each

- 2 $2 coupons

- 2 $1.99 doubles

=2/FREE

1 pack of Bic razors - $3.49

1 Venom energy drink - $2.29

- FREE product coupon

= FREE

1 Renuzit spray - $1.89

- $1 coupon

- $.89 double

= FREE

1 Rimmel mascara - $3.29

- $2 coupon

Did not double (read explanation at bottom)

= $1.29

1 pack of Trident gum - $1 (the filler item)

Subtotal: $10.81

-$5/$50 Kmart coupon

Total: $5.81 (Only $.81 if you count the gift card!)

Total OOP (including tax): $9.40 (or $4.40 with gift card)

I also received a coupon for a FREE box of Milk Bones (up to $3.99) for buying the Hartz bones!

This was the problem I had: My $5/$50 coupon wouldn't go through on its own, so my cashier's supervisor told her to apply it to the Cover Girl powder since it was over $5. Because she did this, the last coupon I gave her (the one for Rimmel) wouldn't double, and I ended up losing $1.29. After spending 20 minutes waiting in line, checking out and fixing the $5/$50 issue, I decided my time was more valuable and let the $1.29 go. Sometimes it's just best to walk away.

FREE chicken sandwich from Chick-fil-A

The first 250,000 people to join the Chick-fil-A Chicken Wave fan club will receive a coupon for a FREE classic chicken sandwich. The next 750,000 people will receive a coupon for a FREE medium Coke Zero. Limit one entry per person, email address and mailing address. Allow 6-8 weeks for delivery after the contest ends on October 31. (See terms and conditions here.)
