There is a $5.00 rebate on two tuff trash bags in the August rebate book. Many of us already got the bags when they were bogo last week. Still could be a decent deal if you need trashbags though! (Just make sure to get the kinds mentioned in the book for the rebate)

I agree on buying the whole wisp holder to get the refill ,cheaper.

in my experience with previous sales and the PF I bought had orange tags, it still took 40% off.

I know I have a $5 PF tearpad, will check what specific item its good for.

Where are the coupons for the Physicians Formula??? I LOVE that mascara!
Thanks

I found $5/1 tear pad coupons good on physician's formula at Walgreens awhile ago on a display. The one I have is good for the "Organic Wear" type though, which I dont think includes any of the mascara (which is also my fave mascara!)

The items I saw on clearance were all face powders.

The coupon database lists quite a few coupons that I haven't found.

I hate that when I am short for a deal. I would check to see if they are still printing this week as well. If not, I would just return it.

If you do check to see if they are still printing, let us know.

Free bic pens at walgreens this week using the Printable $1/2 plus they were in the newspaper a couple of weeks ago . I got 10 this morning as teachers love them plus you can make a Bouquet of flowers with pens at the bottom and stick them in a pot for teacher apprecaction (sp?) day!

Good idea on the flower bouquet

That is a great idea. I would never have thought to do that even though I see them all the time!

My sister got me started on making flower bouquets. You can use the red poinsettias fake/silk flowers and give them as an office Holiday gift to someone, that way they have a 'pot of seasonal flowers'

I made a bunch of those one year and now use the left-overs and tie them into the ribbon on packages as an 'extra' to the recipient.

Use flowers to match the wedding flowers or colors and make a bouquet of fancy flower pens for a wedding gift {one that the bride will know about in advance so you can be sure it works with the theme} and set it by the guest book or frame mat set out for people to sign. I had these at my own wedding instead of paying a ton for just one fancy pen we had a variety in different colored ink.

I made them as spontaneous 'thank you' gifts for my ex's secretaries, my girls love to help make their own and have them on their desks AND they make a great thing to sell at a craft fair, etc.

Pick up small terra cotta pots or stainless steel tubs, fill with dried beans {cheapest} or colored glass rocks, to keep the pens standing upright.

Using this type of pen reduces 'pen theft' as it's a bit harder to accidentally shove a flower in your wallet. I replaced the 'spoon pens' my doctors office used with a set as a 'thank you' for their care.

{Sorry, a bit more 'crafters unite' than Walgreens, but the thread topic led me to do it}

The "pen theft" issue is the reason the teachers love them at my kids school both teachers got them last year and I checked back last week and they still have them , one teacher even added some flowers of her own after her pens Died!

Thats a great idea. I'v been collecting Free/really cheap school supplies for my grand daughters 2nd grade teacher! I would love to do that.

Would you please tell me how you get the flowers on the pen? I have a few idea's but maybe yours is great!

I buy the bunches of flowers at walmart and cut them individual then use the green floral tape to attach it to the pen they have some on clearance right now for 75 cents a bunch .

I am new at this, so not positive it will work but I am going to try it. I can't take credit for the idea, because I read it somewhere. I wish I could remember where!

Basically, the idea is this:

There are coupons and a $5.00 rebate in the 8/3 Smart Source for buying Pert Plus and school supplies. You have to buy $5.00 of each.

I bought 2 bottles of Pert Plus for 3.79 each, using 2 coupons making them 1.79 each. Then got 10 packs of the Bic Pens, using the coupons to make the pens free. Then I should be able to submit for the $5.00 rebate.

Does this sound right?

Like I said, I am new at this and still trying to understand it, but having a blast getting good deals!

I cross-posted and started a thread in Crafters Unite about the pens.

What to do with all those ball point pens you got?
