Wow, December has gone by in the blink of an eye!!! 2017 is almost in the books and we have no idea where the time has gone!!

One thing we know for sure though, is that printable coupons often reset at the beginning of the month.

So if there’s something you may be interested in, you better print it before the end of the month!!

Here’s a list of current pet food coupons:

We recommend to print the Muse coupons at the very least. We have been finding Muse wet food and bags on markdown recently, which we managed to get close to free!!

Happy printing and shoppin!!

Petco: Today 12/24 Only: Potential Double Dip on a $40 gift card, up to $15 off!!

By Emily and Linus 0 comments (comments closed)

Today 12/24 only, you may have an opportunity to get up to $15 off of a $40 Petco gift card!

As we mentioned before, Petco had a special deal going on every day through 12/24. Details can be found here.

Today, 12/24 is the last of the 24 days of deals and today’s offer is $10 in reward dollars (those usually post to your Pals Account the day after you purchased an eligible item) for $40 or more worth of gift cards.

That in itself is a 25% discount on a gift card IF you shop there often enough to use the reward dollars.

We usually use them towards one of their calendars or other items on the wish list of the rescues we support.

The reward dollars WILL NOT come off your gift card purchase, but will be deposited in your account the next day.

They now also AUTOMATICALLY come off on your next purchase, so you must plan accordingly.

Now, if you have not used the $5 statement credit American Express deal, that we mentioned last month, you may be able to double dip on this deal!

You’ll have to make sure you add your offer to your American Express card before you head to Petco.

If you manage to get in on both deals, you’ll buy a $40 Giftcard at Petco, pay $40 on your American Express card on 12/24 ONLY!!

Then you’ll see $10 worth of rewards in your Petco account on the next day and a $5 credit on your American Express statement, once the statement closes.

That would make it a total of $15 back on a $40 gift card purchase!! Pretty sweet in our book!!

If you don’t have an American Express Card, we highly recommend the American Express Blue Cash preferred card, which gives you 6% cash back on groceries, as well as 3% cash back on gas, among many other things.

If you’ll use the above link to sign up for this card, we may receive a commission, which we can then use to help more rescue pets. So thank you if you do!

It may not arrive in time for this deal, but you’ll be able to benefit from future deals for sure!!

Happy Shopping and Happy Pawlidays to all our furriends!!

Petsmart: Today Saturday 12/23 ONLY Tidy cats litter 35 lbs bucket $ 9.99 and other deals!

Petsmart sent us an email this morning. They have a few really good deals, today 12/23 only, here’s a link to that ad.

They have Bogo cat treats, cheap wet dog food and some other deals. What stands out most to us is the $9.99 for Tidy Cats litter, $7.97 dog beds and
up to 75% off Holiday Dog Treats.

Unfortunately no insert coupons for those right now, but some of us have $2/1 peelies from buying tubs on Black Friday.

We know a few of us out there have 10% off coupons or even $10 off 30 (ours expired last night unfortunately), so double check your emails to see what you might have. Some of our friends have been getting really good $$ off coupons, for downloading the app and playing the Petsmart game. So you may want to try that. You can get up to $40 off $100, but our human is too clumsy and only got us $10 off 30. We’ll take anything though, smaller transactions are easier for us to manage anyways.

We also have a few freebie coupons we received in recent emails (Blue Buffalo canned food, Friskies treats and Nutro wet food), that we are planning to pick up during our next visit to Petsmart!

If you don’t have any paper coupons to use right now and want in on those deals, you can also place an order online right now and get 10% off in-store pickup orders under $99 or 15% off orders $100+ at PetSmart.com. There is also a Buy 1, Get 1 50% off select Cat litter on PetSmart.com that you may be able to stack.

Happy Shopping furriends!

Safeway: $50 in Petco giftcards for $45 through 1/2!

By Emily and Linus 0 comments (comments closed)
This post may contain affiliate links, please refer to our disclosure policy.

If you are a Safeway shopper, check your Just4U account. We received another Petco gift card deal today: Save $5 wyb $50 in Petco giftcards, limit 1.

This coupon can be loaded to your card and redeemed through 1/2/18.

We are really happy with all the Petco gift card deals lately, because we have been shopping at Petco a lot, actually mostly, because we have a great Petco nearby with wonderful cashiers and managers who happily take our coupons, which makes all the difference.

Our Petsmart cards are getting a little low, so we could use a Petsmart deal as well at some point.

This deal, is not as good as the gift card deal directly at Petco, that can be had on 12/24, we wrote about that here,

but if you can’t make it to Petco on the 24th at least this is an option to get a little discount on a gift card.

We like those grocery store deals, because Safeway has double reward points on those cards, which now can also be redeemed in store and not only at the pump (check your app for more info). So we’ll earn at least 90 Safeway rewards points for this offer and will receive 6% cash back for using our American Express Blue Cash preferred card, that’s like getting another $2.70 off plus the gas rewards. Not the best deal ever, but a decent deal, if you use a lot of Petco gift cards.

If you’ll use the above link to sign up for this card, we may receive a commission, which we can then use to help more rescue pets. So thank you if you do!

Happy Shopping!!

This week, Target has an offer on select Purina items. Their ad shows a gift card promotion, where you can earn a $10 Target gift card when you buy three Purina items, included are Tidy Cats, Cat chow and Purina One.

We recently received some Target coupons in our Sunday inserts (12/10 SmartSource and 12/3 Red Plum). If you have these coupons, you may be able to get a decent deal on participating Purina items.

Net cost = $11.97 for all 3 or $3.99 each after everything is said and done

If you don’t have the 3/1 MQ from 12/10 SS you may be able to print 2/1 coupons here, which make for a slightly lesser deal

You may also want to check your peelie stash, some of the TC litter we bought on black Friday had $2/1 peelies on them, so we will end up getting those for 4.69 net!! Not as low a deal, as we used to get in the past, but not terrible either!

Cat Chow

If you are doing Ibotta, you may want to check for an additional rebate of $2 per bag, it looks like it has expired for us, but it may still be available in your account, or it may even pop up again!!

Whew! We have not typed up any scenarios in a while. Please let us know if you find any issues with them.

As we have written before, we are not huge Target fans, we find the various stacks overwhelming and the deals usually not as good as other stores. But then many of our friends are avid Target shoppers and may have gift cards to roll from previous deals, so it may make sense for some of you to shop at Target.

We lucked out and some of our furriends sent us those Target coupons and we can combine them with higher value peelies, so we’ll send to human to the store for sure to check out the deals.

Bonus tip:

There is also a $5./1 Purina Beyond dog food printable coupon out there right now, which you can stack with a 15% cartwheel offer. This is not a participating items, but while at Target, you might as well look into it, if that is the variety of your choice.

Happy Target Shopping furriends, let us know how well you do!

Petco: Coming up on 12/24 Potential Double Dip on Giftcard up to $15 off $40, YMMV!

By Emily and Linus 0 comments (comments closed)
This post may contain affiliate links, please refer to our disclosure policy.

Petco currently has a new deal going every day through 12/24. Details can be found here.

We haven’t posted much about it, because in the past their Bonus Rewards Dollars deals most times would not work.

But the last deals we tried (Solid Gold and Whole Hearted Pet food, both earlier this month), did give us the promised Reward Dollars, without having to interact with customer service.

For this reason, we wanted to point out that on the last day of the 24 days of deals, on 12/24 they are offering $10 in reward dollars (those usually post to your Pals Account the day after you purchased an eligible item) for $40 or more worth of gift cards.

That in itself is a 25% discount on a gift card IF you shop there often enough to use the reward dollars.

We usually use them towards one of their calendars (post on 2018 calendar to come soon) or other items on the wish list of the rescues we support.
