Important note to avoid getting a ton of SPAM in your email box!

None of us want a bunch of SPAM/junk emails in our email boxes. I suggest that if you are going to sign up for free samples and/or do trials that you get an email address specifically for that purpose (personally, I have had over 50 different email addresses for this purpose!). It's very simple to get a free email. Just go to www.gmail.com and sign up for one. Once you have your free email address you can use that email for any freebies you sign up for!

Free Planters Trail Mix!!!



Hello Everyone!
I know it's been awhile since my last post....we were out of town for a little while but I'm getting back into the swing of things now.

And, that being said.....How about some FREE PLANTERS TRAIL MIX????

This post is rather long but totally worth it!

How do you get this, you ask??!! Fairly simple. Go to facebook and become a fan of Mr. Peanut (planters). Just click the link below:

Click here to become a fan of Mr. Peanut on Facebook

Once you are a fan there will be a coupon available to print for 1.50 off any Planters item. It will be on the Mr. Peanut page after you become a fan. If you don't see it, look up at the tabs on the page (you will see WALL, INFO, NCAA SWEEPS, PHOTOS, BOXES, DISCUSSIONS). Click on the tab marked NCAA SWEEPS and then scroll down the page. You should see where you can click for a coupon. You may need to install the coupon printer (it's safe). Don't log out of facebook or anything...just follow the prompts to install and then the coupon will print. ***IMPORTANT: You can get TWO of these coupons if you don't close any windows during all of this! Once the coupon starts printing you will see a message that says something like You May Now Close This Window. DON'T DO IT!!! Just click the back button on your screen (upper left corner if you are using Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox...the "left arrow"). You may get a pop up that says it needs to resend the information or that you need to refresh your browser. Just click the "resend" or push F5 on your keyboard....BINGO...another coupon prints. That's the max....if you try to do it again it will say you have reached your limit. However, if you have multiple computers you can log into your facebook from each one and just go back to the Mr. Peanut Page and the NCAA SWEEPS tab and print 2 from each computer!

Okay...now, take your coupons and head to WALGREEN'S! Inside Walgreen's you need to find a March Coupon Book (this is different than the weekly flyer). Inside the book is a coupon for 1.00 off the purchase of 2 Planter's Trail Mix. Tear it out! Head over the Nuts aisle and pick out 2 bags. They should be marked 1.99 each when you buy 2. Take your bags to the register. I try to purchase something in the .25 or under range to go with this so that my total doesn't go negative.
Walgreen's coupon policy is to accept 1 Walgreen's Coupon AND 1 Manufacturer's Coupon for each item. So.....here's the math (you're gonna love it!):

Planter's Trail Mix: 1.99
Planter's Trail Mix: 1.99
SUBTOTAL: 3.98
Walgreen's Coupon for 1.00 off 2: -1.00
Manufacturer Coupon printed from facebook: -1.50
Manufacturer Coupon printed from facebook: -1.50
GRAND TOTAL: -0.2 (this is why I buy something for .25 or under if I can)

If you have a really cool cashier, you wouldn't need to get the .25 item....they adjust the coupons for you if they really want to.

My suggestions is to do this deal in sets of 2 (not 4 or 6 at one time) so that the cashier doesn't get cranky about the printed coupons. If they accuse you of copying the coupons just point out the number on the coupon under the expiration date under the funky looking barcode. The numbers are unique (not copied!).

ENJOY!
