March Freebies 3/8-3/22



So last month I did a end of the month freebies haul sort of thing and that was a great way to show you exactly what I receive throughout the month. The only downside to waiting till the end of the month to post is most of the freebies and samples are no longer live so you don't have the chance to score the same deals. With that being said I decided to do my blog post and videos every week to two weeks depending on how much I actually have to show you all. -Tess







Lets Start with my free magazine subscriptions shall we :)

I received a year superscription completely free from Mercury Magazines for Parents, Parenting, and Teen Vogue. When they ask you for what industry you work for select other, then you can choose student or homemaker. 

For some reason last week I received Feb,March, and April of Teen Vogue. Then the next day Feb and March of Parenting the School Years. And today Parents magazine which I like a million times more then the Parenting magazine seems to have so much more to offer.

Retail Value: Teen Vogue $2.99 per issue
                     Parents  $ 4.00 per issue
                     Parenting the School Years $4.00






Next awesome deal to land in my mailbox this month was a Nielsen TV Ratings Survey. I usually throw these things out because more then half the time it's junk mail. To my surprise once I opened the envelope five dollar bills fell out along with only a 15 question survey on my TV viewing experience. The survey was all boxes that had to be x'ed off and I only had to write down the top three shows viewed in my household. It was so simple to fill out and I got $5 for what only took a minute of my time!





Finally my P&G package arrived with my free samples and coupon booklet containing $24 of savings!
I was starting to wonder on how long this one would take but I found out that they only do shipments so many times a month so that explained the delay with this one. 

What came in my box:   A coupon booklet containing $24 worth of coupons 
                                      Sample of Pantene Daily Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner
                                      Tide Boost Vivid White and Bright Single use Action Pack
                                      Tide Pods Detergent Single use Pac Capsule 
                                      Ultra Downy Infusions Fabric Softener in Honey Flower
                                      Downy Unstopables in-wash Scent Booster
                                      Crest 3D White Travel Size Toothpaste  




Inside one of the issues of Teen Vogue was a sample and a save a dollar coupon for the new Flash Clean Makeup Removing Lotion by Maybelline. I haven't tried this sample yet but I did snag the $1 coupon off coupons.com for this line to try out their makeup removing wipes a few weeks ago which is still live. I also liked the Facebook page for Always Feminine Products right now the Radiance line is my favorite of all time! They sent me a $2 off coupon for one Always Radiance and a $1 off one Always Pantiliners. Last but not least for the second time this month Eucerin sent me another lotion sample this one was the Smoothing Repair Dry Skin Lotion. This was a Facebok freebie as well which is still live at their fanpage.




This sample was one I requested back in January and finally received it's the Centrum Multivitamin/Multimineral Supplement Flavor Burst in Wild Grape. It contained two nasty grape flavored adult chews. First off everyone knows anything grape flavored is gross so why make a sample in this flavor?? yuck! It came with a save $2.00 coupon but the only flavors are grape and mixed fruit which contains 1/3 grape flavor so sounds like that will not be happening in this household.



Those of you that don't know I'm a Marine Wife and of course I shop at the Commissary on base! Every thing is decently priced & tax free how can you beat that right?! So while looking for coupons that the commissary will accept I found a website called Commissary Shopper . They mail me a letter every so often containing a packet of coupons that can be used at my local comissary.

Another great newsletter I signed up for was for Tanger Outlets. We were stationed at MCAS Beaufort for 3 years and with no mall locally I spent most of my time out in Bluffton/Hilton Head Island at the outlets! Now that we are again stationed at Camp Lejeune I believe the closest one is in Myrtle Beach. I have been to the one in Kittery, Maine and the one in Westbrook, Connecticut :) 

20% OFF Your Entire Purchase, (3) 20% Any Single Item 
Right now I just have them pinned on the little boards in my office so I don't forget about them. I made these chevron fabric covered cork boards to hang up in our office space about a month or two ago and they were really easy to make! I think I might make some for my daughters room when we redecorate it.






Friday I will be posting my vlog on my youtube channel sempersassy going through what I received and what I thought about it in more detail so keep an eye out :)
