Barnes & Noble Summer Reading Program

My daughter, who is in 1st grade this year, has really fallen in love with reading (yeah!), so this Barnes & Noble program is pretty exciting to me! I'm always looking for new books for her to read, and this sounds like a great way to get one!

Here's the scoop:

Kids in 1-6 grade read 8 books, fill out this reading journal, have their parent sign it, then turn it in at a local Barnes & Noble store. They will receive a coupon for a free book (choose from a selection listed on the reading journal). Sounds easy to me, and I know that Maddie will love picking out her new book!

Program runs between May 27 and September 7, 2009.

Thanks, Free Stuff Times!

Another Free Reusable Tote

This week at QFC you can get a free reusable tote when you bring in 10 or more plastic bags for recycling. There's a coupon in their weekly ad (4/22-4/28) that you have to give them, but no other purchase is necessary.

Also, you can "design" your own tote on the QFC website and they'll credit your QFC Advantage card with another reusable tote! I did one today, and it was fun!

Albertsons Deals

Check out this week's deals (4/22-4/28) at Albertsons on The Bargain Jargon. Doesn't look like there are any doubles this week, however. Hope you had a chance to use yours last week!

Reynolds Rebate Still Working!

I just printed off my rebate form for the Recycled Reynolds Aluminum Foil (8:45 a.m. PT). Hurry to get yours!

Free Walgreens Reusable Tote & 15% Off

Tomorrow, in honor of Earth Day, Walgreens is giving away free tote bags when you bring in this coupon. The coupon also entitles you to 15% off your in-store purchase of qualifying products (basically anything except dairy, liquor, stamps and prescriptions) and 20% off any Walgreens brand products. Notice that it says you have to use it at the cosmetics counter.

Don't forget to download your rebate form for free 100% Recycled Reynolds Aluminum Foil beginning at 4:22 a.m. EDT tomorrow.

Also, remember that the Disney Store is giving away limited edition water bottles tomorrow when you bring in 3 plastic bottles for recycling.

Cheap Cottonelle at Albertsons!

I went to Albertsons this morning to use my double coupons (which expire today!) and came across the Cottonelle Ultra (remember, the stuff I got the coupons for at Fred Meyer last week). It's currently on sale for $6.99 for 12 double rolls. Not a stellar deal on its own, but wait. There's a Kimberly-Clark promotion where you get a $5 coupon good on your next purchase when you spend $20 in participating products (Cottonelle is included). So, here's what I did:

Purchase 3 pkg. 12 double rolls Cottonelle Ultra ($20.97)
Use (3) $1/1 Cottonelle Ultra coupons from blinkie at Fred Meyer (-$3.00)
Use (3) Albertsons double coupons (-$3.00)
Received a $5.00 and a $1.00 catalina at the end of my transaction

Total: $8.97 for 36 double rolls!

*I'm not sure what exactly the $1.00 catalina deal was. It was a surprise when it came out! It's from Cottonelle (it says so on the coupon), but I haven't read about it anywhere.
