So first I will apologize for how very long it has been since I have blogged. In the past few weeks Northern Alabama was hit with tornadoes and we were without power for four days followed by an ongoing conservation that is still very real. Last night one of the substations actually broke down again and they had to do some major repairs to bring it back up and running. Trust me when I say that the pictures of this destruction barely begin to show how horrible the reality of the situation is - however, in light of this event I have never been so happy to say that I coupon. Due to all of the couponing and stockpiling I have been doing I was able to donate so many things to the victims of this event - without having to go out and spend a ton of money. So while trying to gather as many things from my stockpile to donate as possible this also gave me a great excuse to donate other items like baby clothes, household items, and on top of lots of my clothes - a bunch of formal gowns. Although I didn't go to school in Alabama my sister did and graduated from a school that's area was greatly affected by the tornadoes - to the extent that many lost their home and of course their prom gowns, shoes, etc. So I decided to rummage through my dress closet (yes I said dress closet - it is a huge 8ft by 20ft closet that is simply full of dresses, ice skating outfits, ballroom dancing costumes, and horse show attire) and I was able to find 25 dresses, a few pairs of shoes, and purses to donate to operation save prom. If you've never had a great reason to coupon than being able to donate things for free or very little money is definitely a great one!
So now for the real reason you probably clicked on this link - right now you can get basically free John Frieda hair dye at Target. Here is what you have to do - if you got the paper last Sunday (May 1) you should have received a $5 off manufacturer's coupon for John Frieda's Hair Dye - now if you did not then you could just google it and find a clipping service to buy two from - which should be about .25 cents a piece. So after you have your two manufacturer's coupons in hand you should then go to target.com and print off two Target John Frieda coupons as well for $5 off each. Regular Price for the hair dye is $11.99 so after using all four coupons on the two boxes you will owe approx. $4.81 - BUT the wonderful thing this week is Target is doing a promo where you get a $5 gift card for buying two John Frieda hair dyes - so basically the dye is completely free plus a small profit. Yes, you do have to pay a small amount out of pocket, but if you are buying other items split the transactions and pay for the dye first because you can use the gift card right away as a credit towards the res of your purchase.
Happy Shopping!!
