Recent Freebies

I noticed it has been quite awhile since I did a legit freebie post, so I rounded up some recent freebies for you guys... I've gotten lots more free samples than I show here because these days I tend to use them up as I get them, instead of letting them pile up.

So, here are some new freebies...

I won this Physician's Formula liquid liner set in a Facebook giveaway.  It is really pretty and sparkly.  I'm quite curious to try it out!

This was kind of an odd but useful win...I got this iron cleaner from another giveaway. 

These are just a few of the free magazine subscriptions that I receive! 

A couple of Maybelline Fit Me blushes that I got for free with coupons at Target. 

I got this Colgate 360 toothbrush for free at CVS using coupons.

Free eyeshadow at Dollar Tree with coupons.

Free mascara at Dollar Tree with coupons.

Rimmel Glam Eyes Palette free at Dollar Tree with coupon.  

And finally, some free samples that I got in the mail.  I got tons of coffee just recently, and some tea.  Which is great because I can never have enough coffee or tea!

So, what freebies have you scored lately?

Bargain Brag- Extreme Couponing?

I love a good bargain! It seems logical that I would be a big coupon-user, but surprisingly, I NEVER use coupons!  They just seem like such a hassle.  I've watched the TV show "Extreme Couponing" and been amazed by the savings the participants got.  Those cases are extreme, though, and those people spend all their time thinking of coupons.  I can imagine a million things I'd rather do than clip and organize coupons. It just seems pointless to do all that work just to save a few cents. I have never had the patience for it.  

But when I visited my dentist for my check-up last week, she gave me a few sets of coupons for Colgate products.  They were for 50 cents off of Colgate toothbrushes and toothpaste, and $1.00 off of Colgate Total toothpaste.  I immediately thought of the fact that they carry Colgate at the Dollar Tree, which is a store where all items are only one dollar.  

I headed over there to rack up on some 50 cent oral hygiene products.  The best part was, they actually had a small size of Colgate Total, which is not something they normally carry.  Since I had three $1 dollar off coupons for Total I snagged three tubes for free!!! AWESOME.  

This whole haul of items cost me only $1.50.  

So, will I become an extreme couponer? I doubt it... but it was pretty cool getting such a good deal!
