Sears Optical is offering free Revlon sunglasses up to a $99.99 value. Amazing.
Go here to fill in your name and information, then print out your coupon.
I have already printed mine out and plan to use it soon. Hopefully, everything will be hassle free, or at least go as smoothly as possible.
Penny pinching
Hi (: I've been so engrossed in the art of couponing recently that I figured I should just spread the savings. Haha. I'm a college kid on a budget, and definitely not the only one, so I hope I'll be able to help someone out in the money hungry college world.

Purchases made in the last few days:
November 8, 2011
Target
1 Johnson & Johnson Travel Size First Aid Kit, $0.97
Used $1/1 Johnson & Johnson product from SS 11/6
Total = $0.08 tax
I had planned to use 4 coupons, but the system would only allow use of 1, so I went with just one.
Rite Aid
1 Maybelline Baby Lips lip balm in Peach Kiss, Reg. $3.79
Sale 40% off Maybelline cosmetics, $2.27
Used $2/1 Maybelline face product coupon from RP 11/6
Total = $0.27, + tax which came out to be $0.45
A pretty good bargain considering how pricey these usually go. Perfect stocking/mini gift bag stuffer!
While I was there, I also picked up my free 15 photo cards + 1 8x10, but I had to go back the next day for my free 25 photo prints because the store had run out of ink. The promo is still going on right now, or so the site indicates. Photo prints are something I am vowing to pay as little as possible for now, considering how many free prints I have gotten recently. (155 free, on top of 15 holiday cards and 1 8x10)
November 11, 2011
Staples
Coupon for 100 free post cards from the Copy and Print Center, $39.99
After the associate helped me customize and submit the order, all I had to do was wait for it to be delivered, which is scheduled to come in 7 business days (this coming friday).
Total = Free
When the tax showed up to be about $3, I was alarmed, thinking she'd make me pay it. But I walked out of the store paying absolutely nothing. Sweet!

November 9, 2011
I rolled the Blistex yesterday and managed to get five more, with the help of some Chips Ahoy fillers. When I tried again this morning though, the RR did not print. I was pretty disappointed, as I hoped to stock up on them, but oh well. All good things must come to an end. Especially deals too good to be true like so. Nevertheless, I still ended up buying from Walgreen's.
Purchased 10 gift bags
Holiday gift bags/sacks, Reg. $0.29 or 4/$1
Used in-store coupon for 10/$1
Used 50¢ RR
Total = $0.50 for 10, 5¢ each
Score. The gift bags are so cute, too!
Purchased 3 bottles of Smart Water
Smart Water 1 L, $1.49 reg. Buy 3/$3 get $2 RR
Used $2 RR from Blistex
Total = $1 for 3
Crest Tartar Protection Toothpaste, $1.99 get $1 RR
Used $0.75 coupon from 10/30 SS
Total = $0.25

Deal Idea
Walgreen's Jell-o Gels and/or Puddings
Use in store coupon $0.59 Jell-o (applies to all boxes purchased)
Use $1/2 Kraft printable coupon *Use zip code 96849
Total = $0.18 for 2 (9¢ each!)
This can be a good stock-up item. If you love the gift of giving, these will definitely come to be of good, if not better, use with charity programs in your local area. I might print multiple and stack them together with the in-store coupons just for this purpose (:
(Buying the cookies was a pretty good move today, as I figured they would be perfect for stuffing into those 10/$1 holiday bags or sacks. Neat for giving out to friends or little kids (: Yay!)

I was scared to "roll" this one, since I wasn't all that certain it was still valid and the system had not done anything to this too-good-to-be-true deal. Thus, I ended up playing it safe by going on to buy the vitamin water. However, I intend to try again tomorrow to see if the register rewards really does roll.

I was searching for the advertised 10/$1 holiday gifts bags in the morning, but was told that the Walgreen's truck with Christmas products hadn't all arrived yet. The holiday merchandise was just starting to roll in, and they were in the middle of stocking still. The manager said the earliest they would have them by was Wednesday. 'Twas a disappointment, but oh well. I can wait (:
