Rite Aid - $5/$25 Coupon

2009-06-22T06:19:00.000-07:00

A $5/$25 Rite Aid coupon valid thru June 28th is available at Coupons.com

It would be wise to use this coupon in conjunction with the other deals at Rite Aid this week to maximize your savings.

As a side note, it has come to my attention that the slew of drugstores have been experimenting with different means of disseminating dollar offer coupons. I personally prefer dollar offer coupons to be made available directly thru the drugstore's website rather than thru coupon websites that require the installation of special coupon printing software.

Hersheypark - Free Admission - Father's Day

2009-06-20T09:39:00.000-07:00

FREE admission for Dad's on Father's Day with appropriate coupon! Stop by participating CVS Pharmacies in Baltimore, Washington DC, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania to pick up a coupon for Dad to come to Hersheypark for FREE on Father's Day - Sunday, June 21st.* The coupon also includes a special golf offer for Dad - a free cart at Hershey Links with a paid greens fee**.

*With the purchase of a regular one-day admission. Coupon valid on Father's Day only. Coupons available in CVS while supplies last.
**Redeemable during the 2009 operating season only. Not valid on twilight rate. Other restrictions may apply.

Details are also outlined on the Hersheypark Website here.

This offer is borderline unworthy of mentioning due to its buy one get one free nature. Isn't almost a given that someone else would accompany Dad to a park on Father's Day? Attending an amusement park isn't usually an outing Father's make on their own. It's generally a family affair, great for a Father's Day celebration. But, if for some reason, Dad was all alone on Father's Day, shouldn't he be able to at least get out and not feel so left out on this holiday? I feel the additional purchase stipulation should be dropped and is unnecessary.

Chick-fil-A - Free Hand-Spun Milkshake - June 20, 2009

2009-06-20T07:38:00.000-07:00

On June 20th, bring your dad to a participating Chick-fil-A and he will receive a free 14oz Hand-Spun Milkshake. Participation differs based on individual Restaurant Operator. One FREE 14 oz.

Official details on the Chick-fil-A Website can be found here.

This Father's Day offer is perfect for those that wish to participate in honoring Fatherhood while still honoring the Sabbath. However, it is a little weird that an actual child has to be present, but at least there is no stipulation for an additional purchase on behalf of the child.

I personally don't an immediate need for t-shirt screening materials, but I can remember back in high school always being in some organization that could use such materials. Usually the club would go and have the shirts professionally screened, but after awhile I got tired of shelling out money for poorly designed shirts. This would be a nice item to purchase for school or community based youth group, especially if the group is small. It might also come in handy to create personalized shirts for a small family gathering such as a summer reunion.

Several years ago I can recall some acquaintances of mine joining the "No Tax on Tampons" Facebook group. Although both comical and serious in nature, the group firmly opposed what equated to taxation on menstruation. The group asserted that putting taxes on products used only by women for a wholly natural occurrence is not only unfair but unjust. I can recall giggling at the fact there were a bunch of people fussing about the price and tax on tampons, when I had just aquired a shelf full for the mere price of tax, if that, at CVS. I then proceeded to offer a portion of my stash to some of those people.

A few weeks ago, I posted a Band-Aid deal that was rather impractical. But, this deal is much more realistic. I am truly pleased that this deal came about. A short while back at one of the coupon days I can recall looking at my multitude of Band-Aid coupons and doubting if I would ever find a way to get some Band-Aids for free. At this point, Band-Aid seemed to be one of those brands that is just costly too buy in general, even with a coupon. But, these sales are helping to change my perception of the Band-Aid Brand.

Walgreens - $5/$25 Coupon - May 20-21, 2009

2009-05-19T13:51:00.000-07:00

Although the $5/$25 coupons were extremely abundant for a short while back in December, some in a variant Register Rewards format as well as some promoted thru printable coupon websites, it has been quite a long time since I have seen one of these coupons. I am so pleased that Walgreens has decided to release one and even more pleased that it is in the orginal print from Walgreens Website format! This decision will go a long ways towards getting Walgreens out of the doghouse for suspending the EasySaver Rebates. As part of my brewing declaration about Walgreens decision regarding the EasySaver program as well as general sediments towards Walgreens marketing tactics, I was planning on including a reference to the the lack of this type of coupon and low and behold they go ahead and release one.

This coupon truly means a lot to me. When I first discovered it this past summer, it really helped me acquire a lot of daily essentials as well as miscellaneous items that I needed but could not otherwise afford. But, by using the coupon strategically, I was able to overcome a lot of setbacks from outside parties (ie my school/church) and obtain such items. Thus, I recommend using this coupon in conjuction with items which will produce a Register Rewards in order to maximize your savings.

As such, California Tortilla will be giving everyone (with purchase) a free Pop Tart and one lucky customer from each store will find a golden ticket in his or her Pop Tart packet that entitles the bearer to one free burrito every week for a year.

Sounds very Willy Wonka-ish, right? I think that is the only reason I am bothering to mention this promotion. A free pop tart by itself is nothing to get excited about, especially since a purchase may be required. Plus, I feel techically requiring a purchase would change the legal classification of this deal-y thing, but I will leave that to someone who actually cares to fuss about. I am just enticed by the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory connection. I could go on and on about my childhood experience with the movie, but in short I appreciate how Charlie was such a good kid and I hope a "good kid" wins the free burritos for a year. To an extent, I hope I win the burritos. But then again, despite my love of tacos, I am not really fond of California Tortilla.

RedBox - Free DVD Rental

2009-05-18T13:31:00.001-07:00

It's a sad, sad world. First, Walgreens EasySaver and now RedBox's Monday Movies. The world is coming to an end one promotion program after another. But, to be honest, I don't really care about RedBox. I have never rented a movie from RedBox under the promotion or otherwise. I care more about Walgreens and I have been holding my statement on the situtation for a while I morn, but I will release soon. In regards to RedBox, last week, 5/11, was the last week of RedBox's Free Monday Movie program. However, to put a spin on this Debbie Downer news, RedBox is wrapping the message in a guise that they are extending the program on a monthly basis. Here is what they have to say:

The redbox Free Movie Monday promotion, inviting consumers to receive a free rental code via text message every Monday, will be extended through August. Originally slated to end May 11, redbox will extend the promotion due to consumer popularity and will transition from a weekly free code to a monthly free code.

The Free Movie Monday monthly code will be distributed via text on the first Monday of every month, beginning June 1. To register or view promotion details, go to www.redbox.com. The last Free Movie Monday weekly rental code will be distributed May 11.

See release here. I guess it's all a matter of persective.

Pfizer - Free Medication Assistance for Unemployed

2009-05-18T11:13:00.000-07:00

Pfizer Inc announced that it will launch an innovative program to help eligible unemployed Americans and their families who have lost their health insurance maintain access to their Pfizer medicines for free. The inspiration for the new program, called MAINTAIN™ (Medicines Assistance for Those who Are in Need), was generated by Pfizer employees who were witnessing friends, family and neighbors struggle to make ends meet after losing their jobs.

The program, which applies regardless of prior family income, will be open for enrollment through December 31, 2009 and applies to eligible Americans who have become unemployed since January 1, 2009. It is designed to help recently unemployed Americans and their families who have lost their insurance and who are taking Pfizer medicines to continue treatment for free for up to one year or until they become re-insured (whichever comes first). More than 70 Pfizer primary care medicines will be available through the program.

Eligibility requirements of the new program include:

-Loss of employment since January 1, 2009
-Prescribed and taking a Pfizer medicine for at least 3 months prior to becoming unemployed and enrolling in the program
-Lack of prescription drug coverage
-Can attest to financial hardship

The new program will be fully operational on July 1, 2009. However, people in need now can call 1-866-706-2400 or visit www.PfizerHelpfulAnswers.com for help. MAINTAIN is a part of Pfizer Helpful Answers, a joint program of Pfizer Inc and the Pfizer Patient Assistance Foundation.

Hallmark - Free Paper Card

2009-05-11T12:31:00.000-07:00

Who ever said card companies were greedy? Maybe that is just something that tends to get said around Valentine's Day. Nonetheless, don't let money, for the card or stamp, stand in your way of sending a little piece of old-fashioned mail to someone you've met in your life. I think it speaks volumes that Hallmark has been able to find room in their corporate heart, aka budget, to offer free card promotions. I would have never realized they offer such a nice service without such a promotion. At the same time, I honestly passed up the Mother's Day and general April offer because I had no one to send a card to, but as for you, bust out some addresses and send a super slick card to someone for any reason at all. In my opinion, some of the card selections are actually dignified enough that one could even be sent to a prospective employment connection.

You can send a FREE 5x7 paper card from Hallmark.com. Simply go to http://www.hallmark.com/ to choose and customize a card. Then be sure to enter promo code ICTCARD at checkout to receive a full discount. The card must be sent directly to recipient. The discount also includes postage and taxes. Registration is required. Limit one free card per person. May not be combined with any other offer or applied to past purchases. Not valid in retail stores or on any products sold on other Web sites operated by Hallmark, its subsidiaries or affiliates. Valid in U.S.A. only.
