HOT OFF THE PRESS:  From Walmart’s website:

Walmart’s Christmas Price Guarantee is valid on purchases made Nov. 1 through Dec. 25 on identical items (the same brand, size, color, quantity, grade and model number) that are currently available at competitor’s stores located within the same local market as a particular Walmart storei.  To apply for the Christmas Price Guarantee, customers need to simply bring in their original Walmart cash register receipt and the local competitor’s current printed ad to Walmart’s Customer Service desk through Dec. 25.  Once validated, a gift card for the difference will be issued.  Items placed on layaway will also be eligible for the Christmas Price Guarantee.

Things to remember:

1.  Keep your ads filed in your organizer or binder along with receipts so that you can get reimbursed or get price-matching when at Wal-mart.

2.  Exceptions – of course there are!  – go to http://walmartstores.com/pressroom/news/10732.aspx for details.

3.  Layaways are included!  Show ad at Layaway counter when you make a payment or take out your layaway.  Be sure to keep your ad until you have paid for and taken out your layaway.

Happy – Almost time for the – Holidays!

GIVE HOPE – THE MORE YOU SAVE, THE MORE YOU GIVE

Join P&G and the National Breast Cancer Foundation and help save lives by taking steps to share the gift of early detection.

1. Give While You Save. Redeem Oct. 2 and Oct. 16 P&G GIVE hope brandSaver coupons. Click here to find local newspapers carrying the GIVE Hope brandSAVER. For each coupon redeemed, two cents will be donated to NBCF to fund education on the importance of early detection and provide mammograms for those in need. The P&G donation is uncapped – the more you save, the more you give!  Be sure to check the center of the P&G circular for coupons on Venus, Olay, Secret, CoverGirl, Clairol, Pantene, Saveguard, or Ivory.  When you spend $50.00 on any of the products, P&G gives you $10.00 back and donates $10.00 to NBCF! (see page for details)
2. Visit the GIVE Facebook Page at Facebook.com/PGMyGive to share tools that will inspire others to share the gift of early detection.
3. Create an Early Detection Plan. The best way to fight breast cancer is to have a plan that helps you detect the disease in its early stages. Visit EarlyDetectionPlan.org to start your plan now.

Also – be sure to remember to schedule your mamogram this month if you are due for your annual exam.

I have had a flury of activity with The Lifeboat lately!  I have my 2nd article coming out in the AroundAbout magazines and am scheduled to appear on WATL in October.  As I am working on my schedule I thought a great way to jumpstart my coupon classes is by offering one of my Bloomin’ Bargain Binders ($30.00 value) to the first 3 people that book a class in the Atlanta area and have at least 15 confirmed attendees through my registration site.  Fee is $10.00 per person.  (Note:  You will need to provide a projector and internet connection).

We can also hold as a fundraiser for your organization – I will split the proceeds 50/50.  This is a great opportunity to raise funds and help families at the same time.

Act fast to secure your spot!  Email me at helenmaddox@comcast.net
