FranklinCovey - Free Planner

On Saturday, March 21, individuals who have recently lost their jobs are invited to visit a FranklinCovey store nationwide to receive a free 2009 Franklin Planner.

FranklinCovey knows that getting organized for a job search can ultimately save much time and frustration. Having one place to track all information, contacts, appointments, job leads, and interview notes can make a job search less stressful and more productive. Planning and organization are an integral component of a job search. FranklinCovey products and tools can bring focus, direction, and a sense of purpose to an individual’s daily decisions and can help lesson the panic that surrounds a job loss. Capturing details and committing them to the planner will free up the job searcher’s mind, reducing the stress associated with juggling lots of details. Sarah Merz, CEO of FranklinCovey Products, said this is FranklinCovey’s way of helping out in a tough economy. This free FranklinCovey product event is a natural extension of the company’s corporate philosophy to help people achieve everyday greatness.

To receive a free planner, visit a FranklinCovey store this Saturday, March 21. Individuals recently unemployed can receive a 2009 Franklin Planner for free by providing the names of their last employer and supervisor, and the date they were laid off.

To find a FranklinCovey store near you, visit the online store locator here.

I am super excited about this freebie. I truly need a planner for all the referenced reasons above. My last planner ended a few months ago and I have been confused ever since.

Walgreen's - Free Dental Care

Walgreen's is having a buy more, save more sale on Reach and Listerine. When you buy 3 of the featured items, you receive $6.00 in Register Rewards. The sale also matches up well with a coupon in the Sunday paper. The sale items include:

• Ultraclean Toothbrush or Floss, 30 yds.
• 2 pack Advanced Design Toothbrushes
Listerine:
• Original, Fresh Burst, Cool or Vanilla Mint Mouthwash, 500 ml.

I find this sale kind of funny, since I just gave away a couple bottles of Listerine to my designated non-profit. Normally, I love Listerine, but the Cool Mint flavor I tried tasted nasty. So I gave away my remainders. I wish this sale included the Citrus Fresh flavor. I can recall the Citrus Fresh flavor being free after ExtraCare Bucks a few years ago at CVS.

Use $3/3 coupon from 3/15 SmartSource insert
Receive $6.00 in Register Rewards
