Amazon.com: Diaper Genie Just $12.54

Here's a great deal!! Amazon has the Diaper Genie II diaper disposal system listed right now for just $22.54. You can then send in for  this mail-in rebate to get it for just $12.54!!

Amazon has the Diaper Genie II Elite for $38.54, and is also eligible for the $10 rebate. Shipping is free over $25. If you have a baby in the family, one coming up, or will be buying a gift for a baby shower, this one would be great! We use the Diaper Genie II and I really love it. It's small enough to tuck into a corner and it really helps with diaper odors. You do have to buy refill liners periodically, but Target has the best prices on those, and to me it's totally worth it!

Thanks for the tip, Baby Cheapskate!

Get 2 Black & Decker LightsOut Auto Switches FREE!

 

It's Earth Day! Black and Decker makes a product called the LightsOut Auto Light Switch. This is designed to use motion detection to turn lights on and off in your rooms, reducing electricity by using it only when you need it. I do remember my mom hollering at us when we were kids because we left every light in the house on! Using this switch both helps the environment and your wallet.

Babies R Us and Toys R Us are running a promotion right now where if you buy $45 or more of Proctor & Gamble products in one transaction, you can get two Black & Decker LightsOut Auto Switches FREE (a $59.98 value)! Participating brands include Always, Bounty, Charmin, Crest, Dreft, Duracell, Oral-B, Pampers and Tide. It doesn't say anything about coupons, so I am guessing the $45 is before coupons... if you have received your Year of Savings coupon book (I did yesterday) then that would really come in handy for this offer! Your purchase must be completed by May 1, 2010 and mailed by May 15. Then they will mail you the auto switches. For some reason this offer is void in Maine.

This should bring the price after rebate down to $.49 each! That's a great value! As always, deals in your particular store may vary, but it's worth a look!

MA Residents: Save BIG on Green Appliances!

If you live in Massachusetts and are looking to possible replace an old, tired, energy sucking appliance, Massachusetts has a deal for you! Mass Save is organizing a Great Appliance Exchange! From the Mass Save website:

Are you looking to replace an old appliance that is likely costing you extra on your energy bill? Now is the perfect time! The Mass Save Great Appliance Exchange is offering incentives on highly efficient clothes washers, dishwashers, refrigerators, and freezers when you replace an existing appliance. These rebates are available for a limited time only starting Earth Day, April 22, 2010 at 10:00 AM and running through May 5, 2010. Reservations must be placed and appliances must be purchased during this time. All Massachusetts households, including those of municipal electric utility customers, are eligible for these Mass Save Great Appliance Exchange rebates.

And we aren't talking shabby rebates, either, people! Dishwashers are getting a $250 rebate, refrigerators are getting a $200 rebate, washing machines are seeing $175 back and freezers are getting $50 back! That's some serious cash! The only catch is that you have to buy from the list of approved appliances found here (or in retail stores). But there are tons to choose from and the nice part is that a lot of these manufacturers are planning on REALLY making it worth your while to take the plunge into energy efficiency by offering their own sales and incentives, so you can double dip! You also have to shop at an approved retailer. Again, there are tons to choose from... big guys like Sears, Home Depot, Lowe's and Best Buy to independent retailers like Sozio and George Washington Toma.

If you've been wondering how to make the best use of your tax refund, this would be a great way. Not only will you get a great price on a quality machine after sales and rebates, but it will save you money over the long term as well by being energy efficient. Plus you can feel better about doing your part to help the planet! Win-win-win!

If you really want to do this deal, set your alarm for April 22, 10:00 a.m. That's when you can make your reservation online to purchase your appliance(s). This is all done on a first come, first served basis, so be ready!

There's lots of other money-saving -- and of course energy-saving -- advice on MassSave.com. Check it out! And a big thanks to my husband Dan for letting me know about this deal!

Free Sure Deodorant!

 

For some reason I hate paying for deodorant. Or at least, I hate paying more than $.99. I think I got spoiled by tons of deodorant deals about a year ago and stocked way up. Now I haven't bought a new deodorant in many many months, so paying more than a few coins really upsets me far more than it should.

Well lucky for me, the deodorant deals may be back! Right now Sure is offering a full rebate (up to $2.99) when you buy Sure for Women. Click here to download the rebate form (one per household). Note that you have to pick up one with the "Try Me Free" sticker. You'll need that sticker to get your money back.

The best part is that you have until November 15, 2010 to buy your deodorant! I don't know how long the stickered deodorants will be out, but you could potentially maximize your savings if you hold out for a B1G1 free deal or something similar. I will keep my eye out for you guys (and for myself!) for these kind of deals.

BTW, there are more Sure deodorant rebates here, including one for the guys!

FREE bottle of Olay Quench Lotion!

 

Right now you can try a full size bottle of Olay Quench for FREE! There is a rebate form for one bottle of Olay Quench body lotion on their website, you can find it here.

For some reason I cannot get the rebate form to open (it says the file is damaged and cannot be repaired), but I am seeing this link around so maybe it is just not working for me? Let me know if it works for you.

Thanks for the tip, Krazy Coupon Lady!

WAIT! Just got another tip! Walgreens is going to have a sale starting 3/21 where if you buy an Olay Quench Body Lotion, you'll get an Olay Quench In Shower Body Lotion for free! I don't know why anyone would want to put on lotion in the shower, but whatever. There is also a $1/1 Olay Quench from the 3/7 P&G insert you can use on this as well. Once you submit for the rebate, that's two bottles of Olay Quench FREE plus overage!

Thanks for the extra tip, For the Mommas!

Diapers.com Review and Offer

Look what I got in the mail a few days ago!

I used Diapers.com for the first time! I am not usually shy about buying online... we bought our TV, baby bedding, and some musical instruments online and I had no qualms about it whatsoever. But when it comes to groceries and errand-type things that I pick up on the regular, I tend to not even think about ordering online unless I find a killer deal. Well I did find a killer deal for these diapers, so I tried Diapers.com for the first time.

Overall I am very happy with my experience! They have a large selection and they carry everything I use on a regular basis for our daughter. Everything was in stock and shipped right away. Their site is very easy to navigate and the shopping cart and order placing went smoothly and quickly. They accept all the major credit cards plus PayPal.

I ordered on a Friday and received the items three business days later, on Tuesday. They provided me with a Fedex tracking number, though I didn't need it because everything arrived on time. They did make one mistake... instead of a small travel case of Pampers wipes I ordered, a pack of Huggies Pull-Ups came in the box. I called and the customer service rep was very apologetic and kind on the phone. To correct the problem, he sent out my wipes right away (I didn't call until Tuesday evening and I received them Thursday morning) and told me to keep the Huggies for my trouble and even credited me $5 on my next order since this was my first order and I experienced a mistake. Honestly, it was no big deal, especially since he was SUPER nice on the phone and made it right immediately... that's all I care about! But it was nice to see them going out of their way to resolve the problem, no matter how minor -- it shows they really care about their customers!

I used the following deal to get a case of 204 diapers, a tub of Pampers sensitive wipes, and a travel case of Pampers Sensitive Wipes for $26.50 shipped!! PLUS I got to submit for the $100 Coupon Book from Proctor & Gamble with just that one order! Here's how:

Order:

 - 1 Pampers Baby Dry XL Case Diapers @ $45.99

 - 1 Pampers Sensitive Wipes Tub 64 ct. @ $3.49

 - 1 Pampers Sensitive Wipes Hard Case Travel Pack @ $1.99

Subtotal: $51.47 (enough to get free shipping AND to submit for the P&G $100 in coupons)

• Enter coupon code MOMMIECODE at checkout. This will take $10 off your first order. Shipping will still be free. Your total will be $41.47 (unless you live in MO, NC, NJ, NV, NY, PA in which case you have to add tax).
  
• Print this mail-in rebate and submit it within four weeks. You'll get $14.97 back!
• Then print and submit for the $100 P&G Coupon Booklet
• Total after rebate: $26.50 plus $100 in coupons!

For me there was no down side (unless I don't receive my rebate for some reason? But I don't anticipate any problems, I will let you know when I receive it). Compared to what these diapers retail for at Babies R Us ($40.99) I got these for $14.49 less plus free wipes plus the $100 in coupons. That's nothing to sneeze at! Not to mention it saved me a trip to the dreaded Babies R Us!

So a BIG thumbs up for Diapers.com. I would recommend to either buy in bulk or save up for a bigger order so you don't have to pay shipping (any orders over $49 have free shipping). If it's your first order, I would also use coupon code MOMMIECODE to get that extra $10 off and definitely submit for that rebate! If it's not your first order, I could see how they would be a little pricey! I would search for other coupon codes to use, depending on what exactly you are buying (sometimes they team up with manufacturers to give you a special code if you buy that manufacturer). Overall, Diapers.com is a little more expensive than the stores, but if you can find a coupon code and get free shipping by ordering over $49, then it is worth it because their service is great and they save you a trip to the store!
