Savings from Second Harvest

I didn’t get any coupons in the mail last week but I did get one tasty treat: two Starbucks gift cards for $5 each (one for me and one for my partner,) just for filling out a survey for Second Harvest.

Unfortunately the survey is now finished.  However, Second Harvest has a few other opportunities on the horizon.  The first 100 schools or companies that register for Lunch Money Day on February 26, 2009 (a fundraiser encouraging people to give the amount of money they would normally have spent on lunch) will receive a $25 Starbucks gift card.

Plus, save $3 on the Gourmet Food & Wine Expo!  Experience the world of gourmet food and wine at the MTCC, November 20 to 23. Click here to purchase your tickets and quote promotion code TASTE to get $3 off admission.  As the Expo’s charitable partner, Second Harvest will receive $1 for each tasting glass returned at the show’s exit, plus all proceeds from wine bottle redemptions.

Second Harvest is a great organization - for example, did you know that $5 provides up to 10 meals for people who would otherwise go hungry in Toronto?  Or that they provide enough fresh food for about 15,000 nutritious meals each day?  I think they are an excellent organization.  They have low admin/fundraising costs, and best of all, they are champions of two causes at once: they help the environment by reducing waste, and they feed hungry people.  If you are considering your Christmas donation list, I would encourage you to consider their cause.  (And no, I do not work for them, I just think they’re doing very important work!) To learn more, head to SecondHarvest.ca.

Free Baby Stuff!

I almost forgot to mention - a great freebie from Heinz: Sign up for their newsletter and get a free baby bag, which includes a free full size sample of Heinz Nurture infant formula, free changing pad, a growth chart, and more!  And for a limited time, you will receive a bonus 12×385mL case of Heinz Nurture Infant Formula Concentrate (a $38 value) as well.  I found this deal over at Money Saving Mom.

Wow! Excellent Freebies!

Red Flag Deals has brought my attention to some incredible freebies.  I encourage you all to head to Red Flag Deals to see what else they have there - but here are my faves.

1. Get a 2009 Calendar and $5 in coupons from Ocean Spray 

2. Free sample of Goody Ouchless elastics.  This one is good for Canadians AND Americans!

3. Free Specialty coffee from Williams Coffee Pub (and free gift on your birthday!)

4. Free gift for Rogers customers - gift options include a New Release Rogers movie rental or 3-month magazine subscription to magazines like Chatelaine.

5. New Visa Perks coupons 

6. Tickets to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Nov.12 & Nov. 15 for only $17 each - promotion code NOVEMBER

Also, special thanks to Brenda for reminding me about Red Flag Deals coupons. Lots of good coupons there!

What’s new this week

Well, it’s Tuesday.  I don’t know about the rest of you, but I had a lousy Monday.  So here are some fun freebies and coupons to look forward to throughout the week.

Free Combo at Heros. Hero Certified Burgers are delicious, and icoke has a special buy one get one free combo deal on now.  Just buy one combo (a burger with a Coke zero and fries) and get a second combo free! To get the coupon, text ihero to 51051 and they will send the coupon to your mobile.  Then show your phone (with the coupon) at Heros to get the deal.  Click here for more info.

Free Power Fusion Razor. I am pleased to say that this one is applicable to my Canadian AND American friends!  I had mentioned it before, but it’s worth providing the link again, so here it is.  The reason why I am posting this again is because the razors are selling this week at Loblaws for $9.99 - so you only pay the tax!

Free Head & Shoulders trial size - just fill out the form here.

Free Bounce sample - I got mine today! Click here to get yours.

Get new coupons on the save.ca website, such as $5 off Oil of Olay products - and save $1 off Peptobismal when you go through here  or $1 off Tide when you go here. Or, go to Brandsaver to order a whole wack of coupons.

Let me know if your pursuits are successful and you can enjoy getting a full mailbox of goodies!

Good stuff in the mail!

There was a cute post I noticed recently on at The Finer Things, where the blogger discussed listed some of her favourite things in life that are free. One of my favourite things is getting “good mail.” Getting mail from my international friends is probably my most favourite thing to receive, but coupons and freebies aren’t bad either! Here’s a list of goodies I got last week:

Save.ca coupons, including coupons for a free Campbell’s Healthy Request Soup (sells for $2.47 at Price Chopper) and coupons for Dairy-Oh milk, Best Water Fish, Duracell Batteries, and more.

A Kraft cookbook. Join the “Kraft community” and they will send you a feee cookbook. Unfortunately it didn’t come with coupons like I had hoped, but there are actually a couple interesting recipes, like one for double baked sweet potatoes! And if you are looking for coupons for Kraft products, I recommend you stop by Loblaws for a kraft coupon booklet, with $8 of savings inside. I got a bunch of these last time they were out and saved a lot of money on cheese.

Kotex samples and coupons. I got 2 free samples for Kotex pads and liners and 4 coupons, sent courtesy of Shoppers Drugmart. I honestly don’t know why I got them, so it was a nice surprise! Did anyone else receive these?

An insurance cheque for dental work. If you have benefits through your company at work, don’t forget to mail in for your rebates. It’s worth it! If you have a chronic condition, it’s a good idea to mention it on your rebate sheet, and then save up your receipts and mail them in all at once. If it’s just a one-off, send it in right away. If you made the payment on your credit card, you want to get the cheque before you have to pay the bill - especially if you’re carrying a balance and don’t want to pay interest on it.

Did you get some good mail this week? Let me know what good stuff you got!

Today’s savings

Good products made cheap by coupons!

Today when grocery shopping, I saved $10.75 on coupons alone, not to mention the great deals I got shopping at Price Chopper.  Some of the products turned out really cheap with the coupons.  For example, one box of Catelli Pasta was only 39¢ with the coupon. And the boxes of Muslix only came to $1.44 each (they had many other varieties on sale, too.)  The other box of cereal I got (Organic Flax Plus) is normally too expensive to purchase, but it came with $1 off coupon for SoyNice (one of my favourite brands of soymilk) plus I had a $1 off coupon for the cereal.  So once I deducted $2 in coupons, the cereal was only $1.97. And the Campbell’s Healthy Request soup you see here was free!  I also saved 75¢ off Dairy Oh! omega 3 milk with a coupon from save.ca! I love that I can save on good, healthy products like organic cereal, soymilk, omega-3 milk, and whole wheat pasta.  

While we were at the store, Josh noticed a sales clerk taking down a pack of coupons for $2 off Kelloggs cereals, and thought to ask her for them.  She gave us a whole wad!  And they don’t expire until June, 1999.

I also made sure to use my Green boxes and cloth bags, which not only helps the environment, it also saves a few cents off my bill, since I don’t need to buy bags.

Other coupons and deals to check out this weekend: 

Look in your flyer for PC stores (Loblaws, Superstores, and Zehrs.)  They have lots of coupons for baby stuff.  Most of them require at least one other purchase, but you can get free Pampers megawipes, Pampers clean n go wipes, Nestle cereal and save $10 on Pampers club packs of diapers and wipes, Huggies and pull-up products. 

Shoppers Drug Mart is offering 10xs the points this weekend when you buy $40 or more - and 15xs the points when you buy $50 or more.  If you have been saving up for a big trip to Shoppers, now is the time to go.  Unless of course, you can hold out for a 20xs the points sale!

Save your Samples!

I save my samples and put them to good use.  If you’re looking for samples, I suggest you check out Red Flag Deals, or go directly to product sites you like.

I make good use of little samples by carrying them in my purse or taking them while traveling. They come in handy! Sometimes you can get very useful samples - recent examples include free Mitchum deodorant sticks, Gillette razors (mens and women’s), and Kashi and Campbells soup products. You can go directly to their websites for more details or simply google the items to find where these products are available.

Free lunch from Campbell’s soup!

Today I was alerted by Red Flag Deals that Campbell’s is giving away free Healthy Request Microwavable soup bowls.  Go to http://www.campbellsoup.ca/en/rediscover/ and they will send you a free product coupon via email.  It’s a free lunch!
