I Love Freebies – How to get Free stuff in the mail?

Freebies, Uncategorized
I love Freebies!  However, I always get freebies that I know I will use or I know someone in my family will use.  It just makes sense to me. How to get FREE stuff in the mail?

Then in the mail I got an invitation to order Parent's magazine and in that packet was several coupons like the baby water coupon and Arm & Hammer coupon.

Coupons, Food, Shoppers, Shopping deals, Uncategorized
I made it to Shoppers today.  When I got there the first thing I did was look for the Double Deal Washington Post newspapers which this particular store didn't carry and then off to the ad rack to pick up an ad.  To my surprise was an ad for this promotion spend $25 and get $10 back.  I didn't have all of the coupons with me.  That's a bummer since it was double $1 and triple up to $.50 but I still got some great deals and you can still too since it ends 4/28/10.

I bought the following: 11 Healthy Choice All Natural Entriees $1.99 ($1.99-$2.00 is my best price) Healthy Choice Frozen Meals, Any - 03-28-10 SS (Wish I…
