Groupon is coming to Tacoma!

Have you tried out Groupon yet? It's this very cool site that offers a new deal every day for a local business. If enough people buy into a deal, then it is on and you get the deal. I have been following the Seattle one and there are lots of cheap haircuts, facials, restaurant deals, etc. I also follow the old town that I used to live in - Louisville. Today I scored a great deal on a Bed & Breakfast spot that we will be giving to my in-laws. You can give these deals as gifts. I also have taken advantage of Portland offers because I know that we will get down their for a visit soon enough!

Back to the original reason for the post - I just got an email that they are including Tacoma in Groupon deals!!! Woo-hoo!!! Check it out and sign up to get the emails!

Did you get your free Pampers yet?

I know that I've got some Pampers snobs out there...and this deal's for you!

Rite Aid has a P&G promo going on where you buy $30 worth of products, get a $10 RA gift card - Pampers is a participating product!

Watch the videos here, enough to earn a $5/$20 coupon. When you print, it asks you how many copies you want to print...that's up to you...but if it gives me the option then I'm gonna say a lot!

You'll need to do 3 transactions to make this work.

Transaction #1:
1 Pampers $9.99
2 Covergirl face products BOGO (choose ones that are $10+)

=~$20

Use these coupons:

-$5/$20 RA Q
-$2 Pampers Q (2/21 P&G -there are also $1.50 ones in the 2/7 P&G)
-BOGO Covergirl Q (2/7 P&G) this makes both CG items free and is totally allowed by RA's coupon policy

=$2.99 + tax and you'll have $9.99 towards your P&G gift card (CG doesn't count for the gift card offer)

Transaction #2:

Repeat Trans. #1!

Transaction #3:

Repeat Trans. #1, but add a Crest toothpaste on sale for $2.74 (otherwise you will be .03 short of the $30 mark)

use the .75 Crest Q (2/7 or 3/7 P&G)

=$4.98 +tax

All said and done you have paid $10.96 oop, but you will get a $10 RA gift card and a $1 SCR for the Crest = 6 Covergirl makeup items, 3 packs of Pampers and Crest toothpaste for FREE!!!!

Even Better Juice Deal @ Albies!!!!

It has been confirmed that the .99 Old Orchard Juices are working for the Buy 10, get $10 promo at Albertsons!!!! That means free juice even without coupons!!!! The only flavor that doesn't work is KIWI STRAWBERRY. Here's how it will look:

10 Old Orchard Juices @.99 = $9.90
Use 2 $1/4 coupons here = -$2
2 Doublers = -$2

=$5.40 and you'll get $10 back! SWEET!!!!

Or you can throw in some ice cream like this deal.

While you are at Albies, buy some Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks as well -

They are on sale for $1 and there is a catalina promo:

Buy 3 BC fruit snacks, get $1.50 onyo
Buy 4, get $2.50
Buy 5 or more, get $3.50

If you have any $1/2 peelies, then this is a money-maker! Otherwise use .50/2 coupons here, here or here.

Dannon yogurt is also free with the new buy $25, get $10 promo:

Buy 13 Dannon yogurts @ $2 each = $26
Use 13 Dannon Qs = -$13 (lots of coupons in 1/31 SS, 2/7 SS, and 2/28 SS)
3 Albies Doubler = -$3

=$10 and you'll get $10 onyo = FREE!!!! We eat alot of yogurt in this house, so this is great! I'm also planning to freeze some.

Need Some Cheap TP & Paper Towels?

So Safeway has their P&G promo running until tomorrow and P&G eSaver just loaded some hot new coupons that work great with the deals!

Here's an idea:

Buy 1 Charmin 24-roll pack @$12.99
Buy 1 Bounty 12-pack @$12.99

This will get you over the $25 mark that will get you the $10 cat, but then watch the magic happen:

-$6 for buying 2 or more large size packages (Safeway promo)
-$3 Charmin eCoupon
-$3 Bounty eCoupon
-.25 Charmin MQ (2/7 P&G)

=$13.73 and you'll get a $10 onyo cat! Use this and roll it into some great Frozen Food deals!

Free Juice & Ice Cream....ummm, OK!!!

Here is an easy transaction to get the ball rolling at Albies:

Buy 9 Old Orchard juices @ $1.29 ea.
Buy 1 Dreyers ice cream @$2.99

Those are your 10 items needed to get $10 back, then use these coupons:

-$1/4 coupons from here x2
-$1 Dreyer Q (1/31 SS)
-$3 doublers

=$8.60 and you'll get $10 back!!! $1.40 $$$maker!

I would probably roll this catalina into the get $7 wyb $20 Betty Crocker deal - there is a great scenario here at Fabulessly Frugal.
