My Freebies are here!

Well technically they arrived yesterday but with the wedding and a nap and a three hour stint at the school working and  some NHL playoffs, I just didn't get to it.

As you can see, there are several items in this package.
  • Herbal Essence Volumizing shampoo and conditioner. 'passionflower and sunrise pearl, to be specific. I do use Herbal Essences as one of my rotating hair cleaner products so this will be useful AND a 'flavour' I have not yet tried.  The only kind of HE that didn't work for my hair was in the blue bottles. Which is a shame, as I like blue. It did not react well for my hair and made it very limp and sad looking. Bonus - I also got a 50 cent coupon for any H E product.

  • Olay Facial Cloths - These are the 2 in 1 exfoliate and clean, cloths. I have bought Olay Cloths before. They came in a hard, square white box and they were great when I went over to Europe and the places we stayed in did not always provide washcloths.

  • Febreeze Small spaces - I have bought two of these before....one just last week. I guess I had forgotten some of the things I had checked off when I did the P and G Survey. Ah well, with teenage boys, the odds are in favour things are going to be smelly LOL  I like that these are battery free. They do not stick out conspicuously from your wall outlet. They are discreet and I can tuck them anywhere and they are not immediately noticed. This one is the Meadows and Rain scent. I am not sure how long they last. They first one I bought I set up, and then promptly forgot when I first opened it.

  • Crest 3D White STrips and some toothpaste and some floss. I have used the whitestrips before. I have to say I prefer the kind I got in the samples to the kind I have purchased on my own. I seem to purchase the least expensive and it shows, in how well they stick to your teeth. If I were going to use these because I needed my teeth whiter for formal pics or something, I'd spring for the most expensive 3D ones.
I also got some coupons from the company that you could choose at the P and G site. What I liked is that I could click on the coupons I would actually use and just get those. I did not take pics but I have some for:
  •  Olay products - $5 off when buying 2.
  • $1 off covergirl
  • $1 off 2 Dawn Dishsoap
  • $2 off any two febreeze products
  • 50 cents of Puff tissue
  • $2.50 off Nyquil  (I obviously had my cold as I was clicking on these lol)
  • $2 off on Head and shoulders (DS2 needs it)
  • 50 cents off H E
  • $5 off any two tide products
  • $1.50 off Swiffer
Now for those of you in the US, here  is the difference. The coupon says: limit of one coupon per purchase. Use of more than one coupon per product is strictly prohibited. There is no combining of coupons up here. I will make sure I use them when a product is already on sale, to help improve my 'savings'.

Is that same notice to consumer on US coupons too? am curious

In the US it is considered fraud if you use more than one coupon per product. Our coupons say only one item per coupon on them.

isn't great getting the free samples! I generally get something in the mail most weeks an usually by then I've forgotten what it is so it always a nice surprise, and the 'free' bit helps.
