Pair this with the Walgreen's sale that starts on 3/21 to get the body lotion and the In Shower body lotion for free after receiving your $7.99 Olay Quench Rebate. This is a great deal to get two products for the price of a postage stamp.

Here is the Walgreen's deal:

Get Olay Quench in-shower Body Lotion (8.4 oz) FREE when you purchase 1 Olay Quench Body Lotion 20 oz. for $7.99.

Kmart Backs Out!

What does Kmart and KFC have in common.... Perhaps neither has the decency to honor their own promotions?

After a high number of the $10 off $20 coupons were redeemed Kmart decided to change the promotion making it only valid only in the Chicago area. If you printed it out before the the change you should be able to use it at any store, however many people are complaining that their local store is refusing to accept the coupon. This is a tactless move for the company being as the coupon was a legitimate Kmart Promotion offered on the Kmart website. The coupon even states "Valid at all Kmart store locations."

Does this remind anyone else of Kentucky Fried Chicken?

$10.00 off $20.00 purchase @ Kmart

Kmart is offering a printable coupon for $10 off any $20 (or more) purchase. Click her to download your coupon (click on the button next to the blue light mascot). The coupon is valid on all merchandise... even clearance items! We don't have a Kmart close, but for half price I may make a special trip. This would help get a nice Easter Outfit for my little man on the cheap.

Free Deoderant

Dont Fret The Sweat is offering high-value coupons for Unilever deodorants. Today I used a couple of these coupons to score 4 FREE deodorants from Walmart plus overage. You may want to save these coupons for the Kmart Doubles promotion that starts on April 4th (Kmart will be doubling coupons valued up to $2.00). I'd print them ASAP because I'm sure they will go fast!

The coupons available now are:

$1.25 off Degree Men Deodorant
$3/2 Degree Men Deodorants
$1.25 off Degree Girl Deodorant or Body Mist
$3/2 Degree Girl Deodorant or Body Mist
$1.25 off Suave 24 hr Deodorant
$3/2 Suave 24 hr Deodorants
$1.25 off Dove Ultimate Deodorant
$3/2 Dove Ultimate Deodorants

My Walmart Transaction was as follows:

2 Degree Girl Deodorants @ $1.97 = $3.94
2 Suave 24 hr. Deodorants @ $.97 = $1.94
I used $3/2 Suave 24 hr Deodorants and $3/2 Degree Girl Deodorant or Body Mist

Total Spent = 5.88 minus $6.00 in coupons. This purchase scored me an extra .12 off my total purchase.

Walmart does not have a coupon policy and sometimes will not offer overage, it depends on the employee. It seems like you are more likely to get overage if you place your coupon items at the front of your check out, and then give the employee all of your coupons after all items have been scanned.

If you don't want to risk the possibility of not getting overage, you can still score 6 free Suave deodorants by printing Two $1.25 off Suave 24 hr Deodorant and Two $3/2 Suave 24 hr Deodorants. Select the smaller $.97 cent deodorant and they will all be free.
