Hidden Savings in Today's Inserts

Do you take the time to examine the fine print on the coupon pages in the Sunday inserts? There are often small links to money-back guarantees, free samples, refund offers, facebook promotions, etc., in tiny print. That's how I found these offers:
** Get a $1 coupon on Scotties Facial Tissue 60-240 ct single or multipack. $1 on a single box! It's a bricks coupon. To get it, become a fan of Scotties at this link:www.facebook.com/scottiesfacial or you can try the direct link (Argh! I got the 'you have printed your limit' message - I'm going to try it on The right savingsGeorge's computer and see if I get the same.) - This must be a brand new Facebook page because it only has 122 fans.




** Get a free sample of Depend Underwear here  or call 1-866-641-7314

**Print the form for a $20 rebate on $50 purchase of Olay Professional Pro-X Facial Moisturizers and/or Facial Cleansers (4/9/10). This offer has a new date. Product must be purchased from 3/12 - 4/9. This product is guaranteed or your money back. Call 1-866-511-OLAY for details during business hours.

** Aussie Shampoo and Conditioner has a money-back guarantee. Call 1-866-967-7437 within 30 days with receipt.

** Go to www.bandaid.com to print a $5 refund on BandAids and The Princess and the Frog (6/30/10)

** Join the FreeStyle Promise Program. Call 1-877-884-6621 to sign up and receive your FreeStyle Promise card. Use it at the pharmacy to save on diabetic supplies, especially test strips.

** Go to www.familydollar.com to sign up to receive Family Savings in your inbox.

** Once again there is a great example in the SmartSource insert to prove that you can use a coupon on a product and still get the Register Reward at Walgreens. Look for the bright pink page with the .50 Playtex Gentle Glide coupon. Below the coupon is a Walgreens ad which clearly promotes that you can get the Playtex Gentle Glide on sale for $6.99, use the .50 coupon, and get a $2 RR. It couldn't be more plain. Trust me, you'll want to keep that page in your coupon file. Everyone encounters the silly 'You didn't get a RR because you used a coupon' argument from time to time. The real reason is that the machine is turned off, out of paper, or not programmed correctly, or the shopper is trying to use a previously earned RR from the same product. It's never because you used a coupon.
