Quick update

Hello out there in couponing land!  I can't believe it's been so long since my last post, and I apologize for that.  For a while I didn't post because there wasn't too much going on for me with coupons, and then I just started procrastinating (something I'm too good at!). This is just a short update.

Since my last post, I've recieved my $10 Kellogg's rebate and my free t-shirt from the Good Egg Project (see my last post about that).  The shirt is cute--it is grey with a big white egg on the front with a halo over it and it says 'The Good Egg Project.'

Also, I was able to get a pretty amazing deal at Kohl's.  I had to get new pants for work, so I went on Retailmenot.com to see if there were any coupons before I went to the store.  I found a Friends and Family 15% off that expired that night, so off I went to the store!  Once I got to the store and was looking around I heard the announcement that if you open a Kohl's charge card you save an extra 10%, so I decided to do that.  There only had one pair of the pants left in my size, so I went to customer service to get a raincheck.  The very nice woman there told me that if I called to place a phone order from the store phone I would get free shipping.  Normally when placing a phone order I wouldn't have been able to get the discounts (15% and then 10%), but since the store was going to do it they honored both discounts anyway, plus I got the free shipping.

~~This trip was pretty good.  I'm really excited that I was able to get the Fancy Feast Appetizers for my cats for FREE! We got a free sample of this in the mail a while back and the girls just LOVED it and devoured it! lol.  At $1.29 for a 2oz package, this will be one of the rare occasions that I actually buy it for them.  Thank goodness for coupons.


Remember, Pop Tarts are included in Kellogg's list of participating products for the $10 mail in rebate.  I already sent in mine, and unfortunately I can't send in for another one.  The application, in pdf format, is here at their site.

rebates and fake coupons

Yesterday I got in the mail my $20 rebate from Olay!  I was nervous after I mailed it in because $18.99, $6.99, $6.99 and $18.99 don't quite add up to $50, which was what was required for the rebate, so I was excited when I opened the check!  This offer has expired, and the link I was going to post for you no longer exists.

Kellogg's has a rebate offer going (entries must be postmarked by 9/30/09):  when you purchase 10 participating products, they will send you a $10 rebate.  I mailed mine in a few days ago!  Click here to go to their website.


Last week I found a coupon from one of the blogs I read (I can't remember which one, otherwise I'd link you) for a great coupon for T.G.I.Friday's--Buy one entree, get one entree free.  It was a pdf with a pageful of the coupons.  I went there for dinner tonight, and was informed that the coupon is a fake, so be careful!  There are some real coupons out there, you just have to find them.  You should also join the stripes club that they have, they email coupons every month or so, and you earn points towards getting $off coupons.
