What promotion has the Dove bars producing a $10 RR for 8 of them? I don't want to get the RR and "roll" it into the wrong thing! Also, I'm totally flattered to be on your blog list!
I am so irritated with my wag's right now. They were out of the clorox refills and wands last week. I'm afraid if I make the trip they will be out of the dove soap too. :( I can't wait for the new store to open that will be closer to me.
You got some great deals!!! We are heading out today and I'm hoping I can find some of this stuff in stock.
Geez! How unaware am I? I never even notice, till now! that you said I rock :) I'm glad you've got your boxes. I figured free ones from the post office must be better than buying bubble envelopes all the time. I think you can actually order priority mail envelopes too.... I love your blog, its already helped me save tons so I'm more than happy to return the favor!
Annathy,
The Dove deal is a monthly deal, but its great this week because of the coupon in the circular making the soap $0.99. You could probably roll the RR's into any other deal except Dove and be fine. Your blog looks great! :)
Lisa,
Ugh, that's annoying. I hate when stores are out of stock, but what are you gonna do?
Tiffany,
I'm hoping to do some more WAGs this week. I'll give them a chance to restock, lol.
Splatter,
lol, no problem. The free boxes are definitely great! Some items that I ship are super light and I end up better off using a bubble mailer and shipping them first class. But come to think of it, when I factor in the cost of the mailer itself, it would probably be cheaper with Priority. Ugh! Thanks, I'm glad you've found my blog useful!! :)
Wow thanks so much for the Wags MM's!!!!!!
I was wondering if you would like to do a link exchange. My husband and I run a coupon board called weusecoupons.com.
I don't see a blog button on your site, and he makes them for free!!!
Anyways, thanks for the Money Makers. Shopping for profit is a great way to shop!!!
Let me know if you'd like to exchange links or have my hubby create a button for you!!!
How do you get the free boxes? I could DEFINITELY use those when it comes time to mail off textbooks!
BTW - check out my blog. CVS has strawberry boost on clearance for $2.50
Very nice shopping trip! Great use of the Olay Rewards cards. I turned mine into a CVS. It was so much easier than having to watch the balance and figure out how to spend the last bit.
Walgreens seems to take longer and longer now to put the money on the cards.UGH! Well at least they haven't cancelled the program yet which a manager at Walgreens is a possiblity that Walgreens is looking at.
I went this morning and bought 8 of the trial size dove deodorants for $.99 each. Used (3 that's all I had)$1.50/2 from the 1/18 RP, paid $3.42 OOP and got a $10 RR!! This should also work on trial size Dove bar soaps if you can't find the full size ones.

Lacy,
I'm going to pass for now, but thanks for thinking of me.
Sarah,
I can't believe I never knew this either! You can get free Priority boxes right in the post office or order them from their website. They even deliver them for free! Just keep in mind that Priority rates can be high. For textbooks, I usually wrap them in brown mailing paper and mail with the Media Mail rate which is cheaper. I guess maybe you could turn the box inside out though.
Precious,
Ugh, I know! I finally got the last of my rebates to clear and I've requested my money be reloaded. We'll see how long it actually takes this month.
Savings Garden,
I saw that deal somewhere else and I'm itching to try it! I didn't get a chance to do any shopping yesterday so I'm hoping to hit up a WAG on my way home. Thanks for the reminder!
Empire Records?
Lee,
Are you for serious? ;) Bourne Identity, silly! The video has a picture of the delicious Matt Damon.
