Redbox free rental PLUS send a valentine and free rental to a friend!

February 7, 2011 by

Redbox has a fun promotion going on their Facebook page right now: You can send a virtual Valentine to your friends and they will include a code for a FREE one night DVD rental! You can send your virtual Valentine here.

They also have two free rental codes available right now:  FEB7MOVIE (today only) and BEMINE

Here are a few other promotional codes that may work if you haven’t used them before: (you can use them once per credit card)  Redbox now carries Blu Ray movies, too.  Blu Ray rentals are $1.50/each, so these codes will deduct $1.

BREAKROOM (works at McDonald’s)

DVDONME

For use at Walgreens only: DVDATWAG
For use at Kroger family of stores only:  DVDKROG

**You can use these codes once per card (you do have to swipe a credit or debit card to “rent” the movie and you will be charged $1 per night if you do not return the movie before 9 p.m. the following day).

Coupon Basics: The truth about 10 for $10 sales!

February 7, 2011 by

A common marketing tactic that many stores use is 10 for $10 sales. Many people assume that you have to purchase 10 items in order to get the discounted price, but most of the time, this is not the case! Typically, you can buy just one or two items and you will still only pay $1 for each item!! (you may want to check with your store to confirm that this is the case)

Also, when there are 10 for $10 “mix and match” sales, you can buy different items and still get the sale price!

Get 4 free photo books per month from Hot Prints!!

February 7, 2011 by

Hot Prints is back and they’ve got a HOT offer to share: you can get FOUR free photo books per month now (the limit before was one). You do have to pay shipping, which is $2.99, so that’s not bad at all.

These are soft cover photo books and include 16 pages total.  There are 20 different themes you can choose from!  They’ve also added a feature where you can add pictures from your Facebook account (I was a little weirded out by this because it pulled up some of my friend’s pictures, too, so make sure you go in and check your privacy settings so that your information cannot be shared with third parties – YIKES!)  You can still upload pictures directly from your computer, too.  The books do include a 4-page advertising insert in the middle, but this can be easily removed.

Click here to start making your photo book today!

Target deals for the week of 2/6

February 7, 2011 by

It’s a pretty slow week at Target this week, but this is my “top 15” deals list.

Keep in mind that pricing may vary by area. Always check your local ad to confirm that they have the “weekly deals.”  Some of these deals were not listed in the weekly ad, which means YMMV in terms of pricing.  Thanks to Totally Target for the heads up on many of the price cuts!

Get Text Alerts from Target: receive coupons, deals, and weekly ad reminders on your mobile phone – use a barcode that can be scanned at check-out for multiple one time only coupon deals throughout the month.  The text alerts for mobile coupons appear to be released on Sundays and appear to be valid for one week only (when the new round is released on Sundays, the old round disappears).

Now, you can save 5% when you use your Target Red Card. (This is valid in stores only)

Target now offers price matching. You can check out their policy here.

At Target, you can use one Target coupon and one manufacturer’s coupon per item. The printable Target coupons now state “one per transaction” meaning you can only use one “like” coupon per transaction. The Target coupons from the inserts do not have this wording and neither do the Target toy coupons. You can read/print their coupon policy here.

They are also offering a .05 credit when you bring in your own reusable shopping bag!
