Family Dollar, P&G, and the Olympics

I am totally in love with the Downy Unstoppables. They smell so awesome and it’s nice not to have to worry about liquids ruining your clothes. Downy Unstoppables are cool beads that you just shake into the washer before starting the cycle.

Our clothes have never smelled so fresh!

I’m a couponer, and I’ve paid FULL PRICE for these unstoppables several times, because I love them that much. (Gasp!)

Even though we have a few months until GO time, P&G has already begun gearing up for the London 2012 Olympic Games. They are also partnering with Lolo Jones, world champion hurdler and U.S. Olympic hopeful, who recently announced that Procter & Gamble (P&G) is donating $25,000 on behalf of Family Dollar to the P&G Team USA Youth Sports Fund. Learn more about Lolo and her incredible journey at FollowLoloRun.com

Win It!!!

P&G is offering an awesome prize pack to one lucky reader containing a Tide® Pods sample, Febreze® Auto Air Freshener, Downy® Unstoppables (full size), Crest® 3D White Toothpaste, Clairol® Lash Blash Mascara – all in a reusable Family Dollar shopping bag!

    Since this is the site you need to visit for a p&g rebate I learned the following. To get a $5.00 rebate you need the completed rebate form, original receipt (which is normal) but you also need upc codes from all items. So not only must I go thru the hassle of cutting the plastic bottles of the Downy and Tide but I also must use up the lg 100 load bottle within 8 weeks if I want to even be able to cut them out. Thats if you remember in a couple months. So what I learned was P&G and its partners must want to make getting rebate after you buy their products, so difficult most people say FORGET IT.
