Got:
1 gallon of milk
1 tube of Bald Guyz moisturizer – free after rebate
1 bottle of L’Oreal moisturizer – free after rebate, for the second time – more details on this below. I used a $1/1 coupon from the 9/21 Red Plum newspaper inserts, netting me $1 in profit.
1 package of first aid gauze
1 first aid kit – used one $3/2 J&J Red Cross first aid products printable – thanks again to the SCG reader who mentioned this coupon!
1 package of coffee filters – I was all out!
So I had read on My Shopping Addiction that the L’Oreal moisturizer was free after rebate during December, even though it was already a free rebate item in November. Sometimes Walgreens will carryover a popular rebate item to the next month, as a sort of rain check. I looked on the EasySaver website but didn’t see it, so I called the customer service hotline. I told the rep that I had heard that this item was free again this month, but couldn’t see it on the rebate list. She confirmed that yes, it is indeed free after rebate during December, as well! I mentioned that I had already gotten this for free during last month’s rebate, and asked if I would be eligible to claim it this month or not. She said absolutely, if I got it free in November I can get it free again this month! How awesome is that?!
So, I got another bottle of the moisturizer, and also picked up the Bald Guyz product, which put my total over $20. This way, I was able to use the Walgreens $5 off a $25 purchase coupon that was valid on the 1st and 2nd, and get another $5 worth of stuff for free! The other items that I picked up came to more than $5, but because I used a coupon on the L’Oreal and will get a 10% bonus for having my rebates loaded onto a gift card, I still made a profit!
And since no one in my house is bald, I’ll put this freebie in a box with the Just For Men and donate it!
