Just in time for the “Oh no, it requires batteries?” season! CVS has a $5 coupon for Energizer Max batteries (good through 12/23/07). Most of the Energizer Max batteries also have a $1 peel-away coupon on the back. The average price of one package of Energizer batteries is $5.29 at CVS, so even without the $1 coupon, the price is still only $0.29 plus tax…but there’s more!

Not as good as the Polly Pocket coupons, but still worth printing if you’re planning a trip to the mall. Join the KB Clubhouse, and a $5 coupon, good toward any purchase, will be sent to your email address. Only one membership per physical address is allowed.

Karen said it best when she said “We like ‘free’ so let’s give some ‘free’ back with just a click.”! Today’s Freebie List has a couple of options for free pet food donations to animal rescue sites, as well as free or discounted food coupons for your own pets.

Wyatt’s new puppy…but adored by the entire family! This puppy, from the Giant Malamute breed, just flew in from Colorado on Friday night as a 7th-birthday surprise for our son. (Apparently, her full-grown weight should not exceed 150 lbs…heh? Bring on those dog food coupons!)
Last month, Thrifty Mommy highlighted an educational game site that allows you to sharpen your vocabulary skills and donate rice all at the same time! This month, you can make a $25 donation to World Vision and get free CDs in return! Okay, they’re not really free, since the donation is required, but you’re donating the equivalent of $75 and receiving the Wow 2008 double CD set…all for only $25. You could also look at it this way: If you intend to purchase Wow 2008 anyway, are you able to spend a few more dollars by “purchasing” through World Vision, where your money will be spent to feed the hungry?

Thanks for the tip, Debra!
Mattel has an online printable PDF coupon for $5 off any Polly Pocket product from any store through December 31, 2007. Because it’s a PDF, that means the codes are the same for everyone, and you can print as many as you like and redeem one on each trip to the store.

Prices will vary by stores and locations, but most stores (specifically, Target and Toys “R” Us) have Polly Pocket toys for $4.99 or $5.00…thus free with the printable coupon, though you could certainly purchase a higher-priced item and simply take $5 off the total.
I found out about this really cool site from Thrifty Mommy last week - it’s a vocabulary quiz that rewards the hungry with free rice for each of your correct answers. The name of the site? Free Rice! (Thanks, Karen!)

By popular demand for the first time…a freebie clothing list! (I assure you, it sounds more exciting than it really is…these are not links to previously undiscovered 100% Off Clearance racks at Dillard’s. Most of these companies, involved in a variety of industries, are giving away - and SHIPPING - free articles of clothing, donned with their logos, in appreciation for past and current business, and with very high hopes of future business.)
