Walmart: Cheap Nivea Lip Balm, Ovaltine, and Free Ice Cream Sundaes

 

I don't typically spend much time at Walmart, generally because the place makes me want to kill myself. But maybe your Walmart is better than mine. If so (or even if it is not so, but you are a glutton for punishment), here are some coupon deals to get you through it, and you might even be able to get a free ice cream sundae out of the deal if you go tomorrow!

1) A while back, I got the Nivea lip balms free at Walgreens and I found out that they are great!! You can get them for about $.50 at Walmart right now, which is way worth the money in my opinion. They are priced at around $1.50 there. Coupons.com is offering two new Nivea coupons (find them under "personal care"):

$1/1 any Nivea Lip Care item

$2/2 any Nivea Lip Care item

making them about $.50 each! You should be able to print each of these twice, meaning you could score six lip balms for about $3.00!

2) It is being reported that some Walmart stores are carrying Ovaltine for $2.72 to $2.86 a can. If this is the case for you, use this $2/1 Ovaltine coupon, making them as low as $.72 a can!

3) Find more Walmart deals here.

4) What's that? "Get to the free ice cream sundae, lady," you say? Ok already, sheesh! Walmart is hosting a Joy of Ice Cream event at participating locations (check your zip code here to find a location near you) on Saturday, May 22, 2010 from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. They will be using featured products to make ice cream sundaes for everyone on the house. Sweet!

Thanks to Money Saving Mom for all the Walmart tips!

Free Haagen-Dazs Ice Cream!

TODAY ONLY, May 18, 2010, Haagen-Dazs is offering a free scoop of ice cream from 4-8 p.m. You can choose chocolate, vanilla or my favorite, coffee. It isn't clear if this is one per family or per person or what, but I'd bet it's one per person.

Find a Haagen-Dazs location near you here.

Free Books and Money For Your Kids!

 

I have a horrible confession. I don't read. Like, AT ALL. I am well-educated, a former teacher, and reasonably intelligent. I just HATE. TO. READ. I think I fulfilled a lifetime of reading in college or something, because I can't even concentrate on reading the baby name book my husband and I bought the other day.

However, I am ALL FOR kids reading, especially through the summer. I fully intend on forcing encouraging our daughter to be a year-round reader when she's old enough!

Here are a couple summer reading programs that can net your child a completely FREE book! Plus, don't forget to find out how your child can get money for their bank account just for reading this summer as well!

Barnes & Noble:  Kids 12 and younger can get a FREE book when they read 8 titles. They just keep track on a "Passport to Reading" form and turn it in to any Barnes & Noble store before September 7, 2010.

Borders:  Kids 12 and younger can get a FREE book when they read 10 titles. They keep track on a "Double Dog Dare" form and turn it in to any Borders store before August 26, 2010.

Thanks for the free book tips, Common Sense With Money!
