UPDATE: It appears that the $10/$20 coupon was intended for a small area of Kmart shoppers (possibly Chicago area??) and not EVERY Kmart. If you would like to try it, have at it! But keep in mind that Kmarts are slowly catching onto the fact that this coupon is out there and it has already been pulled from their website. Let us know if you dare to try it and if the register beeps, the cashier flags it, etc.

Kmart is currently offering $3.00 in Shop Your Way Rewards when you purchase $20 worth of participating items. You MUST be a Shop Your Way Rewards Member to qualify. The $3.00 is automatically loaded to your card for the next time! I have put together a couple deal scenarios to help you score a CRAZY GOOD deal on Huggies Diapers using the new coupons available to us. You will need 2 computers to access 4 coupons.com Huggies Qs.

Transaction #1:
Buy (2) Huggies Jumbo Diapers – $9.99 each
Buy (1) Maybelline New York Express Finish Nail Enamel – $2.68 (33% off online price)
Total: $22.66
Use $10/$20 Kmart Q
Plus, use (2) $3.00 Qs from here (use zip code 44870 if you don’t see it)
Pay $6.66, Get $3.00 SYW Rewards Loaded to your card
Final cost is $3.66 for 2 packs of diapers and 1 nail polish! WOW!! Unheard of!

Transaction #2:
Buy (2) Huggies Jumbo Diapers – $9.99 each
Buy (1) Maybelline New York Express Finish Nail Enamel – $2.68 (33% off online price)
Total: $22.66
Use $10/$20 Kmart Q
Plus, use (2) $3.00 Qs from here (use zip code 44870 if you don’t see it)
Plus, use $3.00 SYW Rewards earned from transaction #1 (will come off automatically when you swipe your card)
Pay $3.66, Get $3.00 SYW Rewards Loaded to your card
Final cost is 2 more packs of diapers and 1 nail polish for just $0.66!

and why stop there?

If you are able to find a lower priced “filler item” please let us know. It’s klling me to pay $2.68 for nail polish when we only need a $0.02 filler to get the Rewards…so please share if you find something!

If you’re in need of toilet tissue right now, I would go ahead and do this deal. If you can wait until April 4th…the manufacturer Qs will be doubled.

I am in the process of posting coupon policies for the stores who have provided them. I would suggest printing each one and keeping them with you to combat any cashier confusion. Most the time showing a difficult cashier the coupon policy will settle the dispute. The first corporate coupon policy is from Rite Aid, courtesy of Deal Seeking Mom!

Just print the Rite Aid Corporate Coupon Policy PDF. It’s just one page long and addresses any issues you may have come across at Rite Aid.

What I thought was interesting is the line that discusses the number of coupons allowed per item. It clearly states “Only one manufacturer coupon is accepted for each product, unless coupled with another manufacturer coupon found in a Rite Aid circular”.  I always thought you couldn’t stack the in-ad Q when it was clear that it was a manufacturer Q. Good to know.

(A big thanks to Deal Seeking Mom for acquiring this policy!)

Okay, I don’t feel bad that I’m always checking Facebook when I see all the AWESOME Freebies they have to offer! If you’re a fan of Pantene already you will have seen this on your home page. If not, Become a Fan of Pantene on Facebook. After doing so, go back to your homepage and look for the Pantene post. Click on the FREE Sample link. It will direct you again to your homepage. Look on the right for the picture above. You will then be able to put your shipping info for a FREE Sample of the NEW Pantene!

Jessica over at Jessica’s Coupons found this new link for FREE Kotex Samples! There are 4 sample packs to choose from. I have never seen this particular offer, but it would not allow me to request another sample, so I’m assuming the other Kotex sample requests I’ve posted about in the past are somehow linked to this one. Anyway! If you have NOT requested Kotex samples in awhile, you may want to give it a try!

UPDATE: DEAD!

Rite Aid has just released MORE Wellness Printable Coupons! What’s great about these new Qs is that they are just generic “any” vitamin, “any” Cosmetic, etc.!

$1.00 off Any Seasonal Purchase of $1.99+

$2.00 off Any Cosmetic Purchase of $2.99+

$2.00 off Any Cold, Cough or Allergy Purchase of $2.99+

Don’t think your store participates in the wellness program? Well, I didn’t think mine did, but I was able to sign up anyway. I always have the cashier scan my card, even though they don’t even know what the program is! Since then, I have accumulated 25 points and always get coupons printed at the bottom of my receipt! You can read about all of the benefits of this program here.

In the past, the special offers code was updated every week on Thursday. NOW…when you go to Special Offers and scroll through the offers, you’ll be eligible to earn Swag Bucks once a day. Just like that, no Swag Code or anything. As long as you go through all the offers, you’ll be eligible to earn varying amounts of Swag Bucks once a day.

If you are new to Swagbucks, you’ll first want to go here and sign up!

Then, here’s what you do (every day!):

*Go to Swagbucks homepage
*Click on Ways to Earn at the top
*Click on Special Offers
*Click on the big blue box to the right that says No Obligation Offers
*Do not accept any of the special offers (unless you wanna!), just skip through about 5 or 6 of them

At the end of that, you’ll earn Extra Swagbucks!!! EVERY DAY!
