MARTIN’S–Saving today. Preserving tomorrow. Earn a $10 Prepaid MasterCard

Purchase $30 worth of participating P&G products in one transaction and receive a FREE $10 Prepaid MasterCard by mail.  There is a lot of fine print on this ad, but it essentially says that it is on valid at Giant Food Stores and Martin’s Food Markets.  The mail-in offer must include your original cash register receipt.  The $30 must be met after all discounts are applied (meaning sale prices not regular prices).  Limit one per household.

Papa John’s $4 Cheese Pizza on Saturday

I am fairly certain this is only available in Richmond, but what a great deal!

I copied this from my e-mail so you can’t click on the “click here” link in the graphic.  Just use the code on-line or call to make sure your local Papa John’s is participating.

Go Rams!

MARTIN’S–Coca-Cola Deal

Fine Print: Save $5 off your next order when you buy $15 worth of participating products after discounts and coupons.  Plus look for a My Coke Rewards code for a Free Coca-Cola Zero Basketball.  In a single transaction with your BONUSCARD between 3/27 –4/2/11.  Coupon will print at register.

This deal is different from the General Mills, Big Appetites for Big Savings, and March Manliness because the $5 doesn’t come off instantly.  It is a Catalina (a coupon that prints out at check-out) for $5 off your next order.  These do have expiration dates so don’t hold onto them for too long. 

I couldn’t find any coupons for any of these items available.  There are lots of coupons listed but they are from sources such as hangtags and tearpads. 

Did you find any coupons for these items?  Did you figure out a good scenario?  What do you get when you redeem your Coke Rewards?  Steve set-up a Coke Rewards account, and because I don’t generally drink soda and he keeps them at work I let him handle those rewards.  I do know one person who collected enough codes to go to Six Flags.

Happy Shopping!
