The Kohl’s coupons are only distributed in areas directly surrounding Kohl’s stores (around here at least). We don’t receive them, but when my grandma lived in an assisted living place nearby a Kohl’s, we used to get tons because they’d give one to every resident, and people who didn’t want them would just leave them in the mail room! I miss getting them (she moved to a different town now).
Today in the mail, I received a mystery envelope from Sally Hansen with a full-sized box of their Salon Effects nail polish strips. The return address is their company headquarters, but I have no recollection of a giveaway or sample opportunity, and there was no note in the envelope! I’ve always wanted to try them, but these things are at least $9 in drugstores so I’ve never purchased them. I don’t know why I received them, but I’m not complaining!
Marissa says
Does anyone else ever have a problem with their freebies getting damaged beyond use? We were living in Texas until a few months ago when we moved to Louisiana. In Texas I never once had a single freebie damaged. Since I have been here in Louisiana, I have had several shampoo samples leaking all over the envelopes, a business card holder smashed, and vitamin samples smashed. The worst so far was I got a free sample of tide detergent with several tide complete action pacs, it was in a bubble mail and the detergent was everywhere, which then ruined the action pacs (I also noticed the envelope had been folded to fit into our box). I can’t decide if its the delivery man or the humidity. And how exactly should I go about complaining to the post master for my freebies getting ruined?
Brandi says
I would call the post office and tell them you have gotten several pieces of mail that were damaged. Start taking pictures of the envelopes and such and make copies for them if need be.
Jessica @ The Abundant Wife says
I’ll have to look for the Kohl’s $10 coupon! I must have missed that one somehow! Here’s a photo and list of the freebies I received this week!

How did you get so many Swagbucks coupons? I’m still getting the hang of using them.
mandy says
Is there a way to get on Kohl’s mailing list to get those $10.00 off coupons? I live under 10 min away from a store and never get anything in the mail from them, I’m signed up for emails…but don’t know if I’m missing something. Do I need to be signed up for a Kohl’s card too?? Thanks!
Emily says
Mandy – Unfortuanelty its random. From what I understand its based on the zipcodes that cashiers ask for when you check out. From there they send it to random neighborhoods within the zipcode.
Emily says
To get the good deals (15-30% off) at Kohls you do need to get their credit card. They send me stuff all the time. This was the first credit card I ever got. Now I only use it to get the sales info. I only charge what I can pay off at the end of the month.
Karen says
A few weeks ago I had a $10 off Kohl’s card and a 20% off coupon. I bought school shoes for the kids (3) and a pair for both my husband and I. I earned a $20 Kohl’s cash. Then last Tuesday I got a flyer for $10 off a $20 kids clothes purchase so my daughters and I headed to Kohls. I let them each pick out a shirt that they “really” wanted and in a certain price range. Their shirts were 30% off and I used both coupons making the grand total $6.32. They both got shirts that they probably would not have been able to get otherwise and we got to spend some fun girl time together looking! I would never pay the sale or full price for these shirts, but $3 was well within our budget!
CJ says
I got the Fresh Express clip and free coupon, Motts for Tots coupons (disappointed as I thought it was supposed to be a free coupon or juice sample), ear buds from 1SaleADay, several rebate checks, a $15 check from Dannon as part of their class action suit, $10 Kohls coupon, and a secret survey item from Pinecone Research.
Darcy says
Got most of those recently…looking forward to the salad coupons from Vocalpoint! Finally got my Motts for Tots coupons – anyone know the pricing on it?
Brandi says
Don’t know pricing, but I never got my free sample!
Darcy says
Well, I never got a free sample either. I did have some mysterious UPS delivery that apparently could not be left without my own signature, so I hoped it was that. I just got coupons for $1 off and a few for $0.55 off.
Kathy says
I think everybody already got the samples/coupons I got this week – my mail carrier must be on behind. But I was excited!!
MaryAnn says
The playtex coupons were from awhile back. They are the Energizer booklet you texted to get.
Brandi says
Don’t know how I missed the Shout Wipes, but they are still avaliable!!!
Brandi says
Does anyone know where to buy the salad? I checked Krogers yesterday. They don’t carry it, but I didn’t go anywhere else.
stephanie says
I think walmart caries that brand.
karen says
Neither WalMart nor HEB carry that particular kind of salad here 🙁
Mary says
Food Lion carries it here it Middle TN.
Meredith says
I’m in No CO & our Safeways & Albertsons carry them. I will tell ya that the Albertsons here are no longer truly affiliated with the Albertsons they have on the East Coast (& possibly not w/other locations either). Something legal changed & now their website out here is albertsonsmarket.com. HTH 🙂
Brandi says
I’ve checked Kroger, Shnucks, Meijer and Walmart. We don’t have a Safeways or Albertsons. I guess I can travel across town and check Jewel and Cub foods. You would think in a city of 50,000 I would be able to find a store with them 🙁
Alex says
I got mine at target. I’m in north Texas.
Brandi says
Alex, was it a Super Target or a regular one. I didn’t check ours b/c they carry very little groceries.
Alex says
Super Target!
Neither the Kroger or Super Walmart near me had the salad when I was looking for it before I found it at the Super Target.
Ann says
I don’t know when they came in the mail, but I used several free item coupons last week. Free full size bottle of pantene, a full size of herbal essence and a free pack of Jiff PB to go. Also got the free shout wipe this week.
Katy @ Purposely Frugal says
I got the shout wipe too! And a bunch of other freebies. Here’s some pictures of them:

Plus a couple days ago I got my free 12 oz. bottle of body wash from CVS!!
missa says
I did a pretty good deal with the razor/skintimate coupons yesterday.
Target had 4-pack Quattro for her disposables on sale for $7.19 and get a $5 gift card when you buy 2. So $14.38 before $4 coupon netted me 8 razors and a $5 gift card.
I also used the free Skintimate coupon because my Target had a can for $2.24 that had another free Quattro razor attached to it.
Cassi says
I got a $10 off a purchase of $10 at JCPenny! Those are my favorite! I once got my youngest 3 outfits and a pair of pants for $.97!
deborah says
What do you do to get free Kohl’s gift cards?
Amy says
Yesterday I got some ear buds and a note pad and some diapers.
Julie says
Payless is having BOGO and has a $5.00 off $25.00 purchase coupon being sent out in the mail too!
Kristyn says
I also got the Shout Wipes Sample. I’m sad I missed out on everything else though!
Wendy says
How does swag bucks work?? I always see the codes but never looked into it. TIA 🙂
Brooke says
Wendy,
Swagbucks is a site that allows you to search using their toolbar and redeem points for free rewards. There are so many ways to earn points on their website! My personal favorite reward they offer are the Amazon.com gift cards. 😀
Crystal has some great posts on how to win Swagbucks. Click on the link below to see her articles!

Hope this helps…have fun!! 😀
sri says
and the best reward for your swagbucks is $5 amazon.com gift card.. do not go for starbucks and other gift cards which are not a great value.
Cindy says
Just curious why the other gift cards are not a good value? With Swagbucks, how can you tell that? Just wondering because I was about to “cash in” for some CVS cards, etc.
Thx!
Crystal says
The points ratio to dollars earned is the highest on the $5 Amazon gift cards.
kathy says
I got the skintimate & playtex coupons too and wondered hmmm.. i dont remember these but thanks! haha
Karrie says
The mystery freebie coupons are from a Cosmopolitan Shop Text promo!
jess says
I didn’t do that one and I got them last week. It was a nice surprise!
Alison says
I believe the mystery coupons are from the Energizer text offer from June…we texted “BARE” for a coupon booklet.
https://moneysavingmom.com/2011/06/free-energizer-coupon-booklet-text-offer.html
Karrie says
Hmm, mine said “Cosmopolitan” on the back of the mailer. The little paragraphs about each product seem a little flamboyant and exclusively feminine for Energizer. Oh well, just glad we got them!
Shelby says
I just sent a text for the Energizer coupon booklet from the original post and it sent me a text back saying the promo had ended but to recieve future promotional offers from Cosmopolitan I could reply COSMO. I guess they are conected somehow! 🙂
Beth A. says
I was trying to figure out how to organize my coupons I wanted to use at each store this morning. Then I check the mail and had also gotten the pocket tabs and was like perfect! I don’t plan on using the sticky part, but if you had a coupon binder I bet they would work great for that too. It was just funny how I got the solution to my problem for free ;).
Amanda says
Got them too but not sure where from. But nice!
