I’ve got a lot going on this weekend (my father-in-law has been ill and we’re trying to shuffle things around so he can stay with us) so I’ll make this a quickie post.   Here’s a couple of cool freebies I found…

Saturday is the first day of spring and you can celebrate with a free Italian ice from Rita’s ice. There are several Rita’s locations in my part of New Jersey.  you can search for one near you here.

I’ve been trying to eat healthier lately so I’ve been eating a lot more oatmeal for breakfast instead of eggs.   This morning I found this page where you can get a coupon for a free carton of Better Oats oatmeal.  I just sent away for mine…if you like oatmeal you should do the same.

If you’re looking for a painless way to sneak a few extra servings of fruits and vegetables into your diet then you should pick up some V8 V-Fusion juice.  Each 8 ounce glass has 1/2 cup of fruit and 1/2 cup of vegetables.   Plus it’s delicious!

My kids love it too which is great because it is 100% juice with no added sugar (I’m trying to break my own soda habit and set a good example so they don’t go for sweetened drinks all the time).

If you want to try it out for yourself you can get a printable coupon for V8 V-Fusion juice at TryV8.com.  You do have to provide an email address but the coupon prints automatically so you can use a throwaway email.

The coupon is for $1 off any 6-pack of slim cans or 46 oz bottle.

I love getting stuff for free, don’t you?

Here’s a link where you can get a coupon for FREE Excedrin product (up to $5.99).

All you have to do is answer one question indicating which pain relievers you’ve used in the past 12 months.  Do NOT check off Excedrin though.  If you do you’ll only get a $2 coupon.  And you want the freebie right?

Don’t check off Excedrin and when you click Submit you’ll go to a page where you can enter your name and address so you can receive your free coupon for Excedrin. It says to allow 3 to 5 days for delivery which is pretty good.

I just filled it out myself so hopefully I’ll have my coupon by the end of the week.

EDIT – I received the coupon and used it at Target last night!

If you love hamburgers as much as I do then I have a treat for you.

You can get printable Red Robin Coupons delivered right to you email when you sign up for the Red Robin eClub. 

It’s free to join and you’ll be glad you did.  Red Robin has some of the most delicious gourmet burgers ever.  My favorites are the Whisky River BBQ Burger and the Guacamole Bacon Burger. 

When you sign up for the eClub here you will get a free coupon right away. Then you’ll receive more Red Robin coupons around your birthday and throughout the year.

Please note this has nothing to do with the phony red robin coupons that have been circulating around the internet (check out Snopes for more details).  These are all legitimate coupons directly from Red Robin itself.

I took my kids to see Up in the movie theaters and they absolutely loved it!   It really is a heartwarming (though painfully sad at times) story that people of all ages can enjoy. 

And since my family is a huge fan of all the Pixar movies to date we will definitely be adding Up to our DVD collection .   

If you’re planning to grab a copy for yourself make sure you use the coupon at the link below and you’ll save $10 when you purchase the Up Blu-ray Combo pack. 

Unfortunately it doesn’t look like the coupon will work for the standard DVD version.   It’s only good for the more expensive edition with the DVD, Blu-ray, and digital copies of the film bundled together.

The coupon link is after this beautiful scene from the movie…

My two girls love board games (especially Memory) and they have a bunch of them that we play regularly.  It’s nice that they’re still young enough to enjoy such innocent fun. 

There are already a couple different games they’re hoping to get this Christmas so the printable rebate form below is just in time! 

The rebate is good for up to $69 in rebates on various Hasbro games including Monopoly, Battleship, Gator Golf, Memory, Ants in the Pants, Hungry Hungry Hippos, Connect 4, Operation, Chutes and Ladders, Candy Land, Elefun, Twister and more. 

If you view the form you’ll see the full list of eligible Hasbro games.  Just print it out and mail it in along with your cash register receipt dated 11/1/09 to 1/31/10 and you will receive a rebate of $2 or $3 for each game.  The only catch is that you have to buy them at Toys R Us.  Purchases made at other stores are not eligible.
