More for Your Rebate

Manufacturer's rebates are a great thing, right? Free products with just a little work (Yes, just a little work. Seriously.). Watch your coupons and sales and you can get even more. Here's how:

1) Combine a buy-this-get-that-free sale with a rebate. Walgreens recently had certain razors on sale and you could get a free shave gel for buying the razor. I had manufacturer's rebates for the razors. So I got two free razors and two free shave gels for the cost of tax.

2) Combine buy-one-get-one-free coupons with a rebate. A couple of months ago I had a buy-one-get-one-free coupon for Glade candles. I also had a Glade candle manufacturer's rebate, so I got two for the cost of tax.

Next time you find a good rebate, wait a little while until you buy the item. Keep an eye on the sale ads and you might get an even better deal. My free stuff stockings idea was a hit at Christmas, so I'm keeping my eyes open and trying to find all the freebies that I can.

Thanks for all the great tips! Where do you get your manufacturer's coupons?

Hi Stephanie- I get them out of the Sunday paper each week. It is important to save all or nearly all of them so that you have them whenever things go on sale or have a rebate.
