Big Lots 20% off coupon-check for organics!

I just got a 20% off coupon in my email from Big Lots. Unfortunately, their site no longer allows me to post a link to the coupons like I used to. You have to join their Buzz Club and it will be emailed to you.

They are advertising 75% off holiday items and you should be able to use the 20% on top of that. And don’t forget to check out their selection of organic products; it’s usually pretty decent. There’s a sister website to HCW called Organic Grocery Deals. They often have discussions on there about what products can be found.

With the coupon at Dollar General this Saturday and now this, good reason to visit that shopping center in Kennett Square.

Mott’s at DG

I’m just doing my coupon clipping and one of the inserts has an ad in it for Dollar General. They are advertising the Mott’s Apple Juice for $1.75 and the 6-packs of applesauce for $1.50! That is an awesome price! The regular price for this is about $2.89 and up in the grocery stores. I like to pack it in lunches, so definitely stopping there this week.

If you go, don’t forget:
Olay body wash-free with $2 coupon
Tide to go, clearance plus coupons
$1 boxes of valentines

Dollar General-some clearance and matchups

Thanks to kimandkathess on hcw for these finds:

Listerine pocket paks on clearance for 1.25, use the $1 coupon from recent papers and there are printables available.
Tide stain release on clearance for $2, use the $1 coupon from the P&G inserts. I think I’m going to go get these, I hear they really work.

Don’t forget the $1 boxes of valentines I told you about.

And Olay body wash is still $2, use your $2 coupons if you still have them.

my Wednesday morning-Dollar General & Rite Aid

Holidays are over, back to my usual Wednesday morning routine of having that first hour in the morning to myself. I’ve decided that I want to learn Rite Aid this year, as I see lots of freebies being posted online from there. I went in, grabbed two sales flyers–the weekly and monthly, and walked around. I didn’t look online yet, because for me it’s easier to try to learn it on my own, then look online to see what deals are being done. My only purchase was four fleece blankets at $0.75 each. It’s not very good quality fleece, but I plan on using them to line the dog crates.

Next I went to Dollar General and debated whether to use my Olay coupons for the free body wash. I decided against it–the coupons are good until next 12/31 and I may want them for a better deal at some point. That and I have a several-years-supply of body wash, so definitely not a necessity.

I found Valentine’s Day cards–they were all $1 for anywhere from 25-35 count. And…they’re good ones, not crappy ones. Lots of licensed characters like Disney Cars, Toy Story, the Princesses, and of course, for my boys…….Sesame Street! This is the first I’ve ever found Sesame Street valentines, so I got two boxes. Each card comes with a sticker for the child, so I decided against purchasing any accompanying candy or lollipops. My one boy is still just a year old and the other is special needs, so I have to be super choosy on what treats I purchase anyway due to choking hazards and dietary restrictions, so stickers work just great for us. They had some with tattoos too, but not in SS.

Dollar General also had a bunch of kids’ clothes marked down 75% and I’ve found decent toddler clothing there before. They carry some licensed playwear and I’ve found Sesame Street sweatshirts there. There also are numerous $5 off $25 coupons out there, google it, like them on facebook and I’m sure you’ll get a hit.

My big out of pocket expenses came to $5.30 total, for two boxes of valentines and four fleece blankets.

New: The consignment store for furniture has moved from near Kennett Beverage to that shopping center. I thought they had gone out of business. But they’re around that corner from Dollar General. If you need furniture or have some to unload, stop in. Last time I was there I saw some decent buys.
