I had lots of fun things in the mail today. $8.99 in rebate checks that I wasn’t expecting. 3 magazines (2 that I got free plus my All You arrived!)
I also got a coupon from CVS for $4 off Aquafresh iso active toothpaste. And finally my Mambo Sprouts coupon book! These don’t come very often but they are worth signing up for since they are full of coupons for Organic products that you normally don’t see coupons for. I told you about it HERE.
Also, in case you have not noticed this already- on page 5 of All You is a list of coupons and the page numbers. This is an easy reference so you don’t have to flip through the magazine to find what you need!

There is a $1 Starbucks coupon in the All You, I used it today at Safeway to buy coffee for $3.99
Stefani says
I had a cool mail day today too!

I like these posts. For some reason my stuff always seems to come on a Monday (Tues this week with the Mon. holiday).
Today I got my free bottle of Exedrin coupon already and 16 coupons for free Nestle Crunch bars from their Facebook game.
Did anyone ever receive:
— the free sample of NESTLÉ® ABUELITA Granulado
— the free sample of Galaxy Granola
— free sample Seventh Gen. Laundry Soap
— the free Aveeno totebag from marthastewart.com
???
I keep a text file to help me remember what I have already sent for and am surprised that about only 55% of it gets here. Some how the tampons, pads and liners always find their way here though.
🙂

Funny! Man you are organized. I got the4 Aveeno tote about 1 week ago. I think I got the Galaxy and no on the others.
Laura Williams says
My aveeno totebag never came but I did get an email that said due to overwhelming response it wouldn’t be coming, blah, blah, blah…
My excitement is I always get an extra Red Plum insert in the mail on Monday (or Tuesday if there was a holiday) and today I got a free gillette fusion razor sample.
I also took advantage of a gift certificate offer from a local radio station for a $50 gc for $25 to a local fancy restaurant I have been wanting to try. I am going to save this for my husbands birthday dinner in a couple weeks.
I know restaurants.com prices are better than that, but in my area they have a very small number of places available.
Nicole A says
I got my aveeno tote too! I still haven’t gotten my coupon for the free oreos, I signed my grams up for her and she already got hers over a week ago. Anyone else get theirs?
Kelly says
I got the 7th Gen laundry sample & dryer sample, keep an eye out!
Charlene says
I got mine a week or so ago. It is easy to toss because they look like junk mail.
Charlene says
Karen why don’t you write a guest post on how to get 16 free candy bars. I will mail you my Aveeno tote as compensation ;).
Jackie says
I received my free sample of NESTLÉ® ABUELITA Granulado last month..

Did my other post not go through? I will check back later before I re-write.

:re-write:
LOL…I know keeping a text file is rather anal but I have memory problems and would fill out form after form only to be told I have already requested a sample. Then I kept the list up out of curiosity to see how many would actually come. I was surprised the percentage ended up being as low as it was.
I only request freebies I will actually use or have thought about buying in the future which is why I love the samples. Nothing worse than trying out something new only to find out no one will use/eat it. I dont request charity or magazine freebies. They will mail you for life, even when you request them not to. And only from the actually manuf site…after doing research on many freebies listed that are not from manuf sites found out they never come or worse case are scammer,spammer or phishing sites.
So I do try to treat receiving a freebie in the mail as a bonus gift…if they come they come.
On occaision however if it is not just a sample but a bigger item and if I had to go through hoops to get it (Facebook, 6am, etc) I have written to 2 companies recently to tell them I have not received the item. Both have mailed it to me right away, one with a double bonus.
I have since found there is a link you can check the progress on the Gen Mills freebies which includes any offers from Pillsbury, Cheerios, Yoplait, EatBetterAmerica, BettyCrocker, and others:

As for the free Nestle Crunch bars I am afraid that ended earlier this month. I think the rest of the promo might still be going:

I got 4 more of almost 30 candy bar coupons today. Too bad it was half way over before I even heard about the contest or I could have really put myself into a sugar coma. Today I also got 2 dif pkgs of Kotex pads, liners and tampons with $1 off coupons inside. And the chocolate and feminine protection couldn’t have come at a better time. 😉
The 2nd Nestle Abuelita sample link is still working:

Maybe some of you will have better luck with it.
