6/28/2024 Weekly Freebies and Deals!

Abby H.

It’s the first week after my surgery and we have been having all sorts of adventures! We went to Lego Building Club at the La Mesa Library, the kids swam several times at our community pool (I sat on the pool deck and took pics), we hung out with friends, and I took a lot of naps.

We’re heading over to the Lakeside library today. With Independence Day next week, I’m sure there will be no shortage of adventures!

They’ve revamped their rewards program, and it’s looking pretty sharp.

Great Deal on General Mills Cereals at CVS!

Abby H.

This deal was in effect last week too, and I took advantage of it. Now through 4/27, you can score selected sizes and varieties of General Mills cereal at CVS for just $1.99 each!

And the deal gets better-

There is a $1.00/2 coupon you can load to your CVS card!

There is also a $1.00/2 rebate available on Ibotta and Shopminium (you cannot combine them).

Here is how I did the deal, and I used the self-checkout.

Transaction 1:

Buy two General Mills Cereals, $1.99/each $3.98
Use $1/2 coupon on card
Pay out of pocket (or roll CVS extra care bucks): $2.98
Redeem the Ibotta Rebate for $1/2
Final Out of pocket: $1.98/2 or .99/each

Transaction 2:
Buy two General Mills Cereals, $1.99/each $3.98
Pay out of pocket (or roll CVS extra care bucks): $3.98
Redeem Shopminium Rebate for $1/2
Final Out of pocket: $2.98/2 or $1.49/each

That’s 4 boxes of cereal for $1.24/each. For reference, the same-sized box of Reeces Puffs cereal I bought at CVS is $4.39 at Target.

Don’t forget to add your receipts to Mypoints/Swagbucks, Fetch (They frequently have bonus offers for General Mills Products), Receipt Hog, Receipt Pal, and Receipt jar for extra points/cash back.

If you are new to some of these apps, check out my Save with Smartphones page here. Some of these apps have bonus points when you sign up with my referral code (and I earn some points too!).

Save $$ on Prescriptions with SingleCare!

Abby H.

I am all about saving money any way I can, y’all know this! Everyone in our house has at least two daily prescription meds. It seriously adds up. That’s why I was excited to learn about SingleCare.

SingleCare is a free service that helps you save money on your prescriptions. Sign up with SingleCare and receive a free prescription discount card and new users receive a $3 Off Coupon on the first eligible prescription you fill, just for signing up.

2024 Birthday Freebies!

Abby H.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been hunting down and checking up on some new birthday freebies for 2024. One of my favorite places to look is MySavings. Their Freebies on Your Birthday list is pretty long. There are a lot of great options for those of you outside of California.

My birthday is coming up in a few days, and here are a few of the freebies that I am most excited about, I’ve noted if I’ve received the emails/app notifications for them this year.

Oh, and in the past, I’ve reminded those in CA, OR, FL, NY, SC, AZ, WA, and NV, to check out eBirthdayClub. There are TONS of great freebies on this site. This year I’ve only gotten “Plan a party here and receive $15 off or 2 free apps if you spend over $250” from a few companies that use eBirthdayClub. Not too exciting.

Non-food Birthday Goodies:

Sadly, there aren’t many additions this year, and there are more than a few previous offers/deals that are no longer available.

Remember to read the fine print for these offers. Most of them are for adults, ages 18+ (19 in some states). Some offers require the coupon/offer to be printed out, and some you can just show your phone.
