Free Reusable Tote from Target

When I first read about getting a FREE reusable tote from Target over at Attention Target Shoppers, I was totally pumped!

You see, earlier this year, I was able to score a FREE Target Retote reusable shopping bag by taking the cover off my Newsweek, turning it into a pre-paid envelope, filling it with five clean Target plastic shopping bags, and dropping it in the mailbox. The Retote bag by TerraCycle is incredibly durable and roomy! Perfect for Target trips!

So I was pretty excited to see at Ginger's blog that TerraCycle and Target were doing the promotion again, only this time, with People magazine.

But then, AFTER I purchased People magazine (something I never do!), Deal Seeking Mom reported that you don't even have to buy the magazine! That's right, you can just stick all those bags in your own envelope and mail it to them to get your coupon for a free reusable tote! Read all the details here.  (Note that this offer is limited to one bag per household.)

So, I was a bit bummed about that I bought the magazine when I didn't have to, but at least I can say I know a little celebrity gossip now. And buying the magazine is still a better deal than buying the tote outright, so I did save a little bit of money.

Anyway, wanted to share this with you so you could take advantage of this deal.

Stick around... I just may be giving away some other handy reusable totes next week!
