It's Freebie Friday And You Know What That Means!

The holidays are upon us and the stores are doing everything possible to lure us in to shop.

First, I’ll share a coupon for a 30% discount at the Gap, Banana Republic and Old Navy. It’s also for a good cause. Specify a nonprofit, and 5% of your purchase will be donated to your chosen charity. Details are on the coupon, but be aware that it is only good through November 16th.

Time for a little pampering!
Purchase an Almay mascara for $6.99 at Walgreens and receive a rebate for $6.99. Not a bad deal, huh? All you need to do is go to your local Walgreens and pick up the current Easy Saver Catalogue (good October 24, 2008 - November 22, 2008). This offer is mentioned on page 38. If you prefer, you can view the catalogue and rebate details on the store website.

And, if mom happens to be reading my blog, or you'd like to spread the word or "treat" her, on the same page they are offering L'Oreal Age Perfect Pro-Calcium Radiance Perfector (moisturizer), for $19.99 with a $19.99 rebate. Please note: Consolidate your rebate with mom's since only one refund is allowed per address, per family, per household, per month. (That’s a lot of “pers”!) If your roommate is submitting a rebate to your same address, you'll lose out. Read the instructions carefully. You can purchase these products online, just be cognizant of the shipping costs.

Be sure to save your receipt, and then go online to arrange for your rebate by clicking on Easy Saver Catalog and "claim rebates". If you prefer, you can submit your rebate by mail, as explained in the Catalog. Follow the instructions carefully, and be certain to postmark/submit your rebate online by November 29, 2008. If you opt to receive the rebate on a Walgreens gift card, then you will receive an additional 10% back. Requesting a check, however, only entitles you to a rebate for $6.99. It couldn't be any easier, especially when you claim it online.

As an added bonus, Walgreens is offering a coupon for $5 off any purchase of $20 or more. This coupon is good today and Saturday only. Read the fine print for restrictions.

Happy weekend!
