Kmart deals; all this for $1.97! Includes printable links for SCJohnson deal

I had $15 to spend at Kmart that expires this Saturday.

There is an SC Johnson catalina, get $5 when you spend $15, and after looking at the selection of items I decided that I really could use some of them. My stockpile is overflowing with cleaning products, but I never seem to get enough Windex and that was included. Plus, I had the $1.50 off two Glade coupons and I like the oil burning thingies, and with three dogs can never have enough candles.

Most of the cleaning products are priced 2 for $5. I’d love to give you a rundown of what everything cost, but Baby B shredded my sales flyer. My catalinas were a $5 one and a $10 one, and each one stated that only “one per transaction” so I had to break it up.

First:
two Windex
four Glade things
Paid with $10 catalina and coupons, plus $0.50 cash
Got $5 back

Second:
three boxes of Capri Sun-$6
paid with $5 catalina and $1

The $5 Glade/SC Johnson catalina was a regular cat–not the ones that Kmart often gives, where you can’t use it right away but have to come back the next week. So I figured rather than have to come back next week, just use it.

Three sippy cups at $1.99 each
Paid with $5 cat and $0.97 cash.

Yay for Delaware for no sales tax!

To recap:
Two Windex
Four Glade candles
Three boxes of Capri Sun
Three sippy cups
All for $1.97 out of pocket! Go me!

And I still have another catalina good for $4 off a $40 grocery purchase, good thru April so I’m going to hang on to it in case other deals come along, which they probably will.

Print some SCJohnson coupons.

Here are some links to SCJohnson printable coupons. Will have to register on the site.

The Kmart ad.

Live in & around Kennett Square?

On hotcouponworld, it’s an idea that we’ve tossed around a couple of times–a weekly coupon swap. But I think it’s finally going to happen. Right now we’re looking at early Saturday mornings–so parents can still get to kids’ activities & sports. Like maybe 7:30 or 8, meet till 8:45 or as long/short as people want to stay.

What we’d do–
Bring any extra coupons that you don’t want, so that maybe others can use them. Hopefully gain some coupons for your own binder that you’ve been looking for.

And-
We’d do a rundown of deals at each store-CVS, Walgreen’s, Rite Aid, Acme, Giant & Superfresh. Highlight the bargains you plan to get to share, and learn about some deals you may have overlooked in the ad.

Right now, I think 3/26 would be a good day to start–at the McDonald’s in Kennett? Does that work for everyone?

This & That-Kmart, Acme, Superfresh & I’m returning cheese!

I’m off to run a few errands. I have $19 to spend in catalinas at Kmart, so headed there first. I didn’t get an ad this week and the one online is so small I can barely read it. Will be back later with what I find.

Both Acme & Superfresh told me yesterday that they didn’t have next week’s ads yet, which is why I didn’t post them.

Last week, I did my weekly trip at the Pike Creek Acme. I bought this Swiss cheese, it was $10 a lb. And it’s awful. Not only does it have a funky taste, but there is no way, and I mean no way, to separate the slices. It’s like it’s a spreadable cheese rather than lunchmeat cheese. So since I have to go to Kmart anyway, I’m going to return it. I rarely return food, less than once a year. I feel weird doing it. But today is garbage day, and I just couldn’t bring myself to toss that $10 into the trash. Which reminds me, I haven’t done a garbage day post in a while, will do one later.

I’m growing mildly impatient that my new blog/site isn’t up & running yet, more on that later.

I also found $2 in RRs for Walgreen’s that expire tomorrow, so I’m stopping there too.

I realize that this post is basically filled with a whole lotta nothing, but I’ll post whatever I find after lunch while B naps.

Have a good morning everyone!

Win some, lose some! Just a so-so night at CVS; + tips & printables!

I’m not a couponer that whines about empty shelves, but it is disappointing. Especially when I was trying to walk a new couponer through the deals. Last evening I posted several transactions I had planned. We went to the Landenberg/Newark Road store. They are completely out of all things Crest/Glide. No toothpaste, no mouthwash or dental floss. We were able to get the Herbal Essences–picked over but still a decent selection. But my plan was to then roll those Extra Care Bucks (ECBs) into Crest, then Crest again, then Irish Spring. They’re out of the Irish Spring too!

The cashier deducted the full $3.50 max amt allowed from the ‘free’ Herbal Essences coupon, even though it was only priced at $2.99. Nice little bonus. So for $1.47, she got 2 HE products and 3 Gain detergents, plus has $2 ECBs to roll. I also gave her the Crest/Glide coupons in case she wishes to return. I know they get trucks on Tuesdays.

Next week’s ad has Allegra for $6.99 with $6.99 back in ECBs. Go to smartsource.com for a $2 printable coupon or check your 3/6 Smartsource inserts. Make sure you choose the $2 coupon, not the $4 one–wrong size package.

I did ok. Paid $0.42 for a big box of 84 Pampers plus two tubs of CVS brand wipes. Great deal, huh? Unfortunately it cost me $23 in ECBs and a $2 Pampers coupon, got $10 ECBs back. So I’ll be looking for ECB moneymakers like the Allegra to build back up. I’m down to $10! I’m seriously considering going back this week for the Tena, just to gain $2.50, ha ha.

(Tena incontinence products are 9.99 with 9.99 back in ECBs. $2.50 printable here )

Let’s see……Tena + Irish Spring, would cost me $13. Pay with $10 ECBs, $2.50 Tena coupon + $0.50 Irish Spring coupon from yesterday’s paper. Get $12 ECBs back.  Yep, I see another CVS trip in my week.
