Reader Deals and Freebies Roundup: Trader Joe’s, Olay, Portrait Studios + More
Whew – just finished a major cleanout of my inbox, and I can’t tell you what a relief that is! Thank you so much to everyone that’s submitted deals to me recently. I haven’t been as on top of them as I’d like, but now I should be able to post them more regularly so keep them coming!
- Heather at Mayhem in the Midwest shares:
“I found a great deal at Trader Joe’s yesterday! Their store brand multigrain penne pasta with flax is being discontinued and all 16 oz. packages are .49-cents. I think this is a great price for any 16 oz. pasta but especially one that has so much fiber and omega-3’s.”

- Laurie found a great deal at Tractor Supply on dog and cat food:
“The regular price of the Science Diet Dog & Cat food was $11.49 and it was on sale for $9.00 the day I bought it. And had a $9.00 rebate/peelie on the bag so basically my cost was $.83 per bag. The rebate did NOT say limit one per family or address or anything like that so I sent in three. The rebate is good until 2/28/09, but I don’t know if the pet food is still on sale. But, even if it wasn’t, it is still a bargain with the $9.00 rebate.”
- Terri submitted these new printable Scrubbing Bubbles coupons:

Have you found any stellar bargains at Walmart lately? Please feel free to email me so I can share them (while giving you credit, of course)! Along the same lines, if you find a deal is no longer valid because the coupon has expired or reached its print limit, it’s very helpful if you let me know so I can keep it current. Thanks for your help!

Ask DSM Readers: Saving Money On Contact Lenses
Andie emailed me to ask for some tips on how to save money on contacts.
“Do you have any hints regarding buying soft contacts, or do you have readers who could hook up the rest of us?”
Unfortunately, I don’t wear them myself, so I don’t have much in the way of money-saving tips on this topic.
So do you have any tips on the best way to save on contact lenses? I’m looking forward to learning from your tips, and I’m sure other readers will benefit greatly!
