Two FREE 8x8 Shutterfly Photobooks

I haven't stopped couponing, ya'll, I've actually been in overdrive, stockpiling for a major life change, which is, itself, one of the greatest bargains of my life. More on that later!

I finally got around to entering a bunch of codes on My Coke Rewards the other day. When I went to enter some sweepstakes, I noticed there was an offer for an 8x8 photo album from Shutterfly for ZERO points! You get the offer for entering certain codes. I don't really see details on which codes, but I entered 5 codes from 20 ounce Coke Zero bottles. Codes are found in bottle lids, the torn off portion of fridge packs, etc.

There's another free book from the Anderson talk show, available here. I was able to add both codes to my account, so you don't need to be a new member. The Anderson code is good until 9/27 and the My Coke Rewards code is good through January 31!

These are great for capturing those summer memories or getting ahead on your holiday gifts. Shipping, handling & tax run about $8 each.

CVS: Beauty Deals

Had a great CVS trip today. My OOP was $0. After coupons, I paid $3.61 on a gift card I had.

CVS Total Moisture Lotion 3 oz, $1.49
Revlon Crazy Shine nail buffer, $3.99

Sally Hanson Salon Effects, $9.99
Unreal Chocolate Peanut Nougat bar, 75c

Used the following coupons:
- $1/1 Revlon Beauty Tool, exp. 8/31/12 (SS 06/24/12 R)
- $3/1 Sally Hanson Salon Effects, (CVS coupon machine)
- $1/1 Sally Hanson Nail Color (printable, NLA)
- $3/$15 Beauty items, (CVS coupon machine)
- $5 Beauty Club Extra Bucks reward, (CVS coupon machine)

Received:
75c ECB for Unreal product
$4 ECB for Sally Hanson Salon Effects

Final:
$1.14 moneymaker!

I wanted to buy one of the Nivea travel tins for about $1, since I needed $1 to use the $3/$15 Beauty products coupon. I had a $1/1 Nivea coupon, so this would have been a $1.64 moneymaker.

Today is also the last day to get the $4/$20 printed out from the CVS coupon machine. I'm saving that for another trip, perhaps to purchase one of the following deals. If I purchase $20 worth of products, I'll have $8.75 to spend toward the total, plus coupons and $1.30 on the gift card. This is why rolling over ECBs can really save you. If I choose one of the deals below, I'd spend a fraction of the retail cost and walk out with even more ECBs.

Other CVS beauty deals through Saturday:
Schick Hydro Silk Razor, $9.99
- $3/$15 Beauty items, (CVS coupon machine)
+ $4 ECBs
= $2.99 after coupons and ECBs

Cover Girl products, varies
- $1/1 CoverGirl Product, exp. 1/31/13 (Package Insert)
- $3/2 CoverGirl Product, exp. 7/31/12 (P&G 07/01/12)
- $1/1 CoverGirl Product, exp. 7/31/12 (P&G 07/01/12)
- $3/$15 Beauty items, (CVS coupon machine)+ $5 ECBs
= varies after coupons and ECBs

Nexxus products, price varies
+ $10 ECBs for $20 spent

Most Nexxus products were between $15-20 at my store. In order to maximize savings on this deal, your best bet would be to buy one full sized product and one travel size (or all travel size!), as the travel sized products were $4-6.

FOOD4LESS: Catalina Deals on Kikkoman, Juicy Juice & Caffeine-Free Coke

 

The final shopping trip in preparation for my BBQ today is a quick trip to Food4Less to pick up teriyaki marinade for the salmon.

While I'm there, I'll also take advantage of the Catalina deals for Juicy Juice and Caffeine Free Diet Coke. I'm baking a cake and cupcakes for my BFF's son's birthday party in 2 weeks. That day, I'll also bring the Go-Gurt I bought at Target yesterday, graham crackers and Juicy Juice for them to either have on hand or use for the party. 

Juicy Juice, ~$2 per 8 pack (small size)

• $1/2 Juicy Juice Target printable
• $1/3 Nestle Juicy Juice Product printable

Final Price: $1.75 wyb 4 + $2.50 Catalina back wyb 4 through July 8 ($1.13 each after Catalina)

Normally, I would suggest buying these at Target, but this is one of those grocery items my Target doesn't carry yet. The Food4Less is much closer and with the Catalina, it makes for a great deal.

Caffeine Free Diet Coke, 12 pack

no current coupons

Final Price: varies + $5 Catalina wyb 4 - Last day to receive this Catalina!!!

Greenworks coupons

no current coupons

Final Price: varies + $3 Catalina wyb 4 - Last day to receive this Catalina!!!

I expect to receive $10.50 in Catalinas today. If I wasn't all stocked up, I'd normally use those for things that don't often have good coupons, like charcoal, bath tissue and other paper products. I'll probably use the Catalina for a cupcake pan or a carrier, if they have any.

I'll update this post with prices this evening, after I've shopped. The Coke Catalina YourBucks offer no longer appears on the website. I printed it last week and it does state that 6/10 is the expiration date for this offer, so it should print out.
