Don't Pass up this Olay Deal!!! $50 in Olay for $5!!

Olay has a rebate offer out there, buy $50 in moisturizers or cleansers and get $20 back.

There were $5 off (1) moisturizers and $5 off (2) cleansers coupons in the 11/16 paper. There were also coupons in the 11/30 paper.

Most olay moisturizers are about $20. So, you'd use (3) $5 off coupons (for 2 moisturizers and 2 cleansers). Your out of pocket would be about $35.
With the $20 rebate, in the end you spend only $15.

BUT.....Target will give you a $5 gift card for any Olay moisturizer $20 or over that you buy, so you'd get $10 gift cards meaning in the end you spend $5 ($10 tops with tax and varying prices).

$5 off $20 Walgreens Coupon and how to use it to get free items!!!

Walgreen's is offering a $5 off a $20 purchase. You can print out multiple copies here:

http://www.walgreens.com/default.jsp

What better way to use this coupon than on rebate items that are going to be free anyway. That way you're basically getting $5 in cash not just $5 off!!

Here is how I used this coupon today:

(1) L'oreal Pro Age Calicum tinted moisturizer $14.99
As fillers (because the price must be $20 before tax) I got (3) Sunday papers (for the coupons, I can care less about the news).

After the coupon my total was $16.17.
Minus L'oreal moisturizer rebate ($14.99)

Minus 10% add on you get when you
opt for the Walgreen's gift card ($1.49)
instead of a check rebate.

In the end I will make 31 cents off this (plus I got the moisturizer and 3 Sunday papers with tons of coupons!!!!)

If you want to use this $5/$20 coupon multiple times check out this nice list of rebates. You can use this to buy rebate items and earn a little cash.
