Freebies from McDonald's

Be sure and pull out the glossy one page sheet of coupons inserted in today's paper from McDonald's. While they usually only offer Buy One Get One Free deals, the current sheet offers several freebies: Free small McCafe, Free, small premium roast coffee, Free small frappe, and a Free small smoothie. There's also a BOGO on a Big Mac or Quarter Pounder with cheese.

Free Monday movie

Here's this week's code for a free movie tonight at Redbox: S39XKT. It's good through midnight tonight on one movie. Enjoy!

Watch for in-store Eggo flyer

While picking up some waffles at Tops this past weekend, I spotted some Eggo flyers that look like this on a nearby display and grabbed a few.

On the back page are five coupons, each for $1.00 off 1 Eggo frozen product. They're good until September 1, 2009 and between now and then, I suspect we'll see Eggo waffles go on sale for close to $1.00. So grab some of these in-store flyers if you see them!

Turn in those empty ink cartridges

I've been going through a lot of printer ink recently (working on my next book, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Vision Boards) and noticed I had a few empty cartridges lying around, taking up space. Maybe you do, too. Well, don't let them clutter up your home - turn them into store credit.

I brought mine into Staples and received a credit of $3 each that will arrive as part of my next quarterly check for being a Staples Dividends rewards member. I'm certain that OfficeMax and Office Depot have similar programs for recycling ink cartridges, but I like being able to "bank" my savings until my next check. That means I'll be receiving at least $15 to spend - probably on more ink.

Another Free Monday Movie

Yes, it's Monday again so head on over to your closest Redbox to score a free movie rental. Use Promo code M7DM23 today through midnight and enjoy that movie you've been wanting to see. Maybe "The Secret Life of Bees?"

You can even reserve it online to be sure it's there waiting for you. Go to www.redbox.com to check out this new feature.

Free body lotion with purchase at Bath & Body Works

Through Wednesday of this week (February 11), you will receive a free Bath & Body Works Signature body lotion (retail value of $10.50) with any Eau de Toilette purchase. Their Warm Vanilla Sugar Eau de Toilette is my favorite. Love the smell of vanilla!

So if you're considering a perfume purchase for Valentine's Day, or want to help your mate with a suggestion, do it before Wednesday and score some free body lotion, too.

Excellent Deal on Flip Camera at Amazon

I realize that not everyone is in the market for an easy-to-use videocamera, but since I've been studying these for a few weeks, I know that Amazon's Deal of the Day is a good one. Today only, you can buy a Flip Ultra Camera with 30 minutes of video, in white, for just $59.99. This camera is normally $149.99, which is why today's price caught my eye. Here's the link, in case you want to check it out: http://www.amazon.com/Flip-Video-Ultra-Camcorder-30-Minutes/dp/B000V1PXL4/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1234204090&sr=8-1

I've been looking into this kind of videocamera because I plan to start doing some short videos on this site, to help people find the good coupon deals. But it would also be great for use at home or at sporting events because the steps involved in uploading the video you take are so minimal. YouTube here I come!

Monday Free Movie

There are some great deals at Rite Aid this week, which I'll tell you about in a separate post, but here is the code for today's free movie at all Redbox kiosks. It's good through midnight tonight: 25CH63.

Free Movie Night

After last night's big football game, you may need a quiet evening in to recover. Fortunately, Redbox is happy to oblige and pass along a code for a free movie rental at one of its kiosks.

The code for today is D9P24G, which is good through midnight tonight, February 2nd.
