This will include using coupons, rebates, and some planning to save people hundreds of dollars on their monthly budgets. At times, I have hijacked our family blog to share my coupon stories. Well now, the coupon stories have their own blog! And my Circus and have its blog back, too! Check out The Coupon Consultant!

A 7MP camera for 11.99 (TODAY ONLY)

Too good to be true? NO! I just bought it! It's a Polaroid i737, and I got it from Walgreens. You may also want to check and see if they have the Polaroid i534. It is a 5MP camera that qualifies for the same deal as well. AND, if you are wanting two, it is eligible for 2 rebates. Keep reading below! OH, AND ALL OF THESE STEPS MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE MIDNIGHT OR YOU WILL FORFEIT THE $40 REBATE!

EDIT: I have not directly spoken with customer service but read a response on the forums on HOT COUPON WORLD, and she called and said that even though the i733 was not originally listed for the rebate, it IS pictured in the rebate book. They will give the rebate for the i733 as well.

First, let me say I found out about this at HOT COUPON WORLD.

Here are the steps on how you can have one too! Or two, as I mentioned before! KEEP READING!

1. Call Walgreens to see if they have the POLAROID i737, i733, or i534 in stock, AND ASK THEM TO SCAN IT FOR YOU. At the Walgreens closest to my house, it scanned at it's normal price of 129.99. I went to another Walgreens a little further away and it scanned at the clearance price of 65.99. If they have it, ask them to put it on hold.

2. Go to this link. WALGREENS COUPON
Print the coupon. It is for $10 off of a $40 purchase.

3. While you are online, go to this link WALGREENS REGISTRATION
Set up an account so that you can claim a Walgreens rebate. NOW WAIT A MINUTE LORI, a rebate system. I know I know! But Walgreens is the best. You don't have to send it in with a stamp. You can enter your receipt online and request the rebate in the form of a Walgreens gift card. If you do that, they will add 10% of your rebate onto your amount. So, with the purchase of the camera, you will request a $40 rebate, but you will receive a $44 gift card. I have always had my rebates in less than 2 weeks. SO JUST TRUST ME AND REGISTER!

4. GO BUY YOUR CAMERA! AND DON'T FORGET TO USE YOUR COUPON!

5. Come home and go straight to the computer to this link EASY SAVER CATALOG
Once you're there, click the button that says, "CLAIM REBATES". It will require you to enter your login information that you just happened to set up just before you left! So enter that and login.

6. Here you will see a place to choose your rebate month. Look for EASY SAVER AUGUST 2008. There will be the option of September, but DON'T DO THAT ONE!!! You will click the link next to the Easy Saver August 2008 that says, "Start/Add receipt"

7. Next, you will see a LONG list of items that you can request for rebates. You will want to scroll all the way to very bottom, rebate 51, for "$40 for Polaroid Dig Camera". Put a check in the box to the right, and then click continue. If you decided to buy two, the process is the same. You'll click the box for the rebate, and the computer knows send you the rebate of $80 instead of $40.

8. Here, you will see a place to enter your receipt number. It is the RFN# located at the top of your receipt. It is a 20 digit number. You will not have to enter the dashes and cursor will move from box to box for you. Double check your receipt number and click continue.

9. Here you will Choose Rebate Payment. You will essentially have 2 options. You can choose to get it in the form of an Easy Saver Rebate Gift Card. If you choose this option, they will automatically add the extra 10% ($4) to the rebate. If you want the option to cash a check and spend your $40 dollars anywhere, choose the check option. You will not get the extra $4, but will can spend it anywhere. And, $15.99 for a $130 camera is still not a bad deal! Make your choice and click continue. It will ask for a mailing address...and then finish the process.

10. Enjoy your new camera. OH! AND BE SURE TO KEEP YOUR RECEIPT! If there is a problem with your rebate, you'll have the RFN#, and the Customer Service reps at 888-324-3028 are incredibly helpful. I have never heard of a problem not being resolved quickly!

Happy savings! And be sure read the post below so you can pray for the BIG SERVE!
