February 28, 2010 by

I just got the latest Redbox free rental code in my inbox. The code is RBXLUV4U  and can be used once per card through 11:59 p.m. tomorrow night (3/1).

Here are a few other codes that may work if you have not used them before:
BREAKROOM

You can use these codes once per card (you do have to swipe a credit or debit card to “rent” the movie).

Hot Deal Alert for Safeway family store shoppers: Spend $25 on select frozen foods, get a $10 catalina

February 28, 2010 by

If you have a grocery store that is part of the “Safeway” family of stores (in my area, it’s Randalls, but it also includes Tom Thumb/Dominick’s/Genuardi’s/Carrs/Vons/Pavilions), the spend $25 on select frozen food items, get a $10 catalina to use on your next purchase deal starts today and runs through the end of March!  The way it works is that you spend $25 on selected frozen foods, and you get a $10 catalina back that is good on your next purchase. You can use the $10 catalina to “roll” into the promotion again (so you spend $15 or less depending on your coupons the next time around).

Last year, I had a blast with this promotion and ended up with a freezer full of food for next to nothing.  The list of participating items last year was huge and I’m sure it will be again this year, so stay tuned for coupon match-ups and scenarios.

Right now, there are two things that caught my eye:

Smucker’s Uncrustables are part of the promotion.  They are 2/$5 at my stores.  There is a $1/1 Uncrustables printable (I recommend printing NOW because it may disappear when coupons re-set tomorrow because it’s the beginning of the month) that you can use with this deal.

Here’s a possible scenario (assuming you can get your hands on several printable coupons):

Buy 10 Smucker’s Uncrustables

Use 10 $1/1 printable coupons (you would need access to 5 computers to print this many)

Spend $15 OOP, get a $10 OYNO catalina (this can be used to purchase items that are part of the “freezer deal” again or it can be used to purchase other grocery items)

Also, California Pizza Kitchen pizzas are part of this deal (they are priced at $5.99 in my ad).  I just got the information on an upcoming catalina deal from my Kroger store this week and typically the Kroger and Randalls catalinas overlap in my area.  Here’s the scoop on the catalina: (keep in mind that this is confirmed for the Kroger family of stores only at this point…I’m just hoping the Safeway stores will have it, too)

Buy California Pizza Kitchen Pizza between 3/5 and 3/28:

Buy 2, get $1 OYNO
Buy 3, get $2 OYNO
Buy 4 or more, get $3 OYNO
(Catalina # 07330 10226 19060 0906 5500 0982)

If Safeway stores are participating in this catalina deal, too, I’m hoping that you can double dip between the two deals.

SCENARIO: (if the catalina is working at Safeway stores)
Buy 4 California Pizza Kitchen pizzas – $5.99/each
Buy 1 Smucker’s Uncrustables – $2.50


Use $1/1 Smucker’s Uncrustables printable


Spend $25.46 OOP, get a $3 OYNO catalina (for the pizza) and a $10 OYNO (for the frozen foods promotion)

**There aren’t any California Pizza Kitchen coupons out right now, but hopefully some will come out to make this deal any better.  Again, I can’t guarantee that both promotions will work, either.

I mainly wanted to give you a  “heads up” so you could work on getting the Uncrustables coupons printed.  I wouldn’t jump on this deal just yet because there will likely be a lot more items than what is listed in the ad that will be part of this deal!

*This week you can “roll” the Kimberly Clark $5 RR into the $5 Tylenol deal and vice versa
*This week, you can “roll the $3 Crest, Aveeno, and Schick RR back and forth



Some helpful tips:
*At Walgreens, you can use ONE manufacturer’s coupon and ONE store coupon per item

*At Walgreens, you cannot do a promotion more than once in a transaction and earn Register Rewards. (for example, you cannot buy 2 Gillette razors in one transaction because you will only earn one RR)

*You also typically cannot use the Register Rewards earned from a promotion on the same promotion and earn Register Rewards again. For example, if you buy the Goody hair bands and use the RR from that to buy another one, your RR will not print.

*Register Rewards are considered to be “manufacturer’s coupons” and you can only use one manufacturer’s coupon per item. You will have to add “filler” items. The in ad coupons often have good, inexpensive filler items. (there are LOTS of great filler items this week – check out the weekly match-ups for ideas)

*If you are using more than one RR in a transaction, always give the RR with the highest value FIRST. Sometimes strange things happen with coupons and taxes and even if you think you have planned out your scenario very well, you will end up with more overage than you planned for.

*If you are buying items that would result in a “free” item or “overage” when combining a store coupon and a manufacturer’s coupon, give the manufacturer’s coupon FIRST, and the store coupons LAST to avoid beeping/issues at the register! Make sure that you are purchasing enough items in your total transaction to “cover” the overage. You will not get cash back and you will have to add items to cover the overage or they will not take the coupon.

*If your Register Reward doesn’t print for some reason and you have fulfilled all of the obligations for the “deal” (including not using RR from the same parent company to pay) DO NOT let them tell you it is because you used coupons! Chances are they didn’t print because the catalina machine is not working. You have two choices: you can return your items and try again or you can contact the catalina company by doing the following:
*The store will give you a form to fill out and mail in to catalina
*Call 1-888-8coupon, option 3
*Use the online form to contact them: Contact Catalina Marketing (when I have tried contacting them this way, my results have not been very good….your best bet is to call)
