When I look at grocery store ads these days, I have to constantly remind myself that the days of easy freebies are over. I think. It’s a difficult concept for me to grasp, since there was a time when Acme and other stores just let us walk out the door with all sorts of product, paying for it with just coupons. Now when I see a catalina offer, for a brief moment I’m thinking “oooh, cool, what’s going to be supercheap or free?” and then I read it closely, and realize……..nothing. Sigh, and this week is no different.
As always, check your e-savings and get printables before you go. More printables can be found on the “coupons” tab of my newly redesigned Facebook page.
Procter & Gamble: Spend $20, get $5 back. Inserts were 7/3 and this coming Sunday. Should work on shelf/knockdown prices, then pay sale/knockdown price minus any coupons. What’s really disappointing is that this time, it’s all the much larger sized items, and some things–like Pampers & Olay, aren’t even discounted at all. But if you like their items and need them, it’s worth a glance. After all the $5 back instantly is giving you 25% savings, and then you can still use coupons. If I see any very cheaps or frees, I’ll do a separate post.

I know, right? Same with CVS. Remember all the free after ECBs stuff there used to be? I still do well at CVS, but the coupons and the deals just aren’t as good as they were a few years ago. Ok, pity party over. I’m actually off to CVS and Acme today:)
