Mercedes from Common Sense with Money just uncovered a super sweet moneymaking deal on PhotoStamps kits  at Walgreens.  (Use PhotoStamps kits to create stamps with your own personalized picture.)

PhotoStamps kits are on clearance at some Walgreens for $7.19–down from $19.99
regular price.  (Scan yours before buying to be sure!)  In addition, the kit comes with a gift certificate to get 20 FREE first class stamps and free shipping.  So you will pay $7.19 to get $8.88 worth of stamps.

Let me know if you find this deal at your Walgreens!

Update:  I totally missed the fact that these coupons say, “Redeem at Publix” on them!  You might be able to use them at other stores that accept competitor’s coupons.  If you do have a Publix nearby, you’ll want to use them there by tomorrow as they are on sale B1G1 Free.  With the coupon, you should be able to get TWO for free!

Hurry and print this $1.50/1 Kraft Salad Dressing coupons here (or here in FireFox) before they are gone!

I just saw these at Wal-Mart for $1.59, making them $0.09 after the coupon!

Don’t forget to hit the back button to print two per computer.

Thanks, Short On Cents!
