I have about $50.00 coming in rebates this month. I read about all of the deals in "Money Saving Mom"
Today, I went to Walgreen's and got a 22 ounce container of Olay Quench body lotion for $7.99 and an 8.4 0z bottle of Olay Quench lotion free, with the other purchase.
There is a rebate for the full price of the larger Olay lotion. I used two $1.00 off coupons for the lotions and will get $7.99 in the rebate. After tax and the cost of a stamp, I will make a dollar on the deal and the lotion is free. I also got two bottles of Renpure Organic shampoo. They are $6.99 and are buy one get one free. There is a hang tag on the shampoo for the full price to be rebated. Both end up free. It is amazing how much free stuff you can get if you check out the the aforementioned blog regularly.

My out of pocket costs, after a rebate and a register reward, at Walgreen's today was $2.04 plus tax. I saved $51.67 and many items that I will use, or use in the gift baskets I make for special occasions.

If you are not familiar with the "Money Saving Mom blog, check it out. They do all the work for you and tell you where to get the deals, link you up with printable coupons, and give you lots of scenarios to save the most, and get lots of "freebies".
It saves me a bundle. They update it daily, and always have weekly specials listed for many chain stores.

I am going to put together a "spa" gift basket with wonderful freebies, for my daughter's birthday, and purchase, hopefully on clearance, a terry cloth robe to add to it.
