And remember, if you'd like to see which coupons are coming your way, the preview is HERE.

During the month of January P&G is offering this great deal. Purchase $50 worth of P&G items during the month and apply for your P&G coupon booklet with $120 worth of coupons!

Click here to find out more: P&G Everyday Solutions.

Click here is a list of the P&G products to choose from and click here to view the coupon offers in the free booklet to see if it's worth a try.

Reciepts must be dated by January 31 and you have until Feb 14 to mail in for the offer.

To go along with this deal, there are several stores offering up good deals this week that are P&G products, as well as lots of great coupons out there right now to use WITH Those deals in the stores. This means your price out of pocket for some of these P&G items will be low after coupons, but your receipt will show the price BEFORE coupons, which is higher and will help you get to your $50 quickly.

Example:

My local Albertsons ad has Pantene Shampoo/Conditioner advertised for 3 for 9.99. If I want to stock up on shampoo, I'll buy 16, equaling $53.28. Your over your $50 required for the coupon book. I might happen to have 16 coupons for Pantene, $3 off 2. That's $24 off of $50, for a total of $29.78. You circle the Pantene actual price paid on your receipt and that is what the company goes by. They see a price of $53.xx and you qualify for the coupon booklet ($120 worth of Q's..yes!). But you actually paid less than $30.

This is just an example. I'm sure if you scoured the ads and stores really good you can find better examples of P&G products you can buy, combined w/ couopons and deals and get much more for your $50 (or much less! work those deals!) and earn your booklet!
