Kmart Superdouble update

February 28, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

It looks like the superdoubles are good for any grocery or health/beauty item. Check your local store ad for details. The ad inside of smartsource leads you to believe it’s only P&G. $25 minimum purchase, limit 5 coupons doubled, after that, face value.

Nature Made is bogo, and you can use a coupon on each item. $1 coupons in 1/30 inserts. $1 printable; print 2 and get $4 off whatever two bottles you purchase.

Maybelline and L’oreal is bog50%, use a coupon on each item. Cover Girl is too, and also a part of the $10/$35 catalina P&G deal. Coupons in today’s paper.
L’oreal $1 printable

I still think I’ll skip Kmart this go-around, but if there’s stuff you need that totals $25, definitely some cheap stuff to be had. Just remember, hand the cashier the five coupons that you want doubled first, before any other coupons. Then hand over your others.

Walgreen’s update & good fillers found

February 27, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

I did manage to get to Walgreen’s today. Didn’t get to Genuardi’s as planned.

I took the last two Baby Magic that they had. I asked & was told they are getting a truck on Tuesday. This was the Avondale/Penn Green Road location, I didn’t try Kennett Square. Plenty of Motrin for that deal, but only the Motrin PM works for it. I didn’t try anything else.

I didn’t want to have a $0 balance after coupons or Register Rewards, so I hunted for small fillers. For new folks-a filler is a small item, preferably only a dime or a quarter, that you use so that either you don’t have a $0 balance, or to keep up with Walgreen’s ‘one mfr coupon per item’ policy.

I found:
little things of spray on sunscreen for $0.65 (back of store, in clearance dept)
little purse-sized hairbrushes with a 5-pack of elastics for $0.32 (near hair accessories)
Carmex lip balm for $0.45 (in clearance dept)

I hope your store has the same good fillers, much better than a candy bar.

Dollar General changing coupon policy (maybe)

February 27, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

Some shoppers have been reporting in to hotcouponworld that they’ve been having some coupon trouble quite recently at Dollar General. Apparently, in some regions, they are implementing the policy that they will no longer accept any coupons if it makes the item free.

In other words, no more–
free Olay body wash with the $2 coupons
free Gain with the $3 coupons
free dental floss and toothbrushes with the $1 coupons

and so on………

So far it appears to only be happening in the midwest, but who knows. Just don’t be totally surprised, or have a plan B, if you get shot down. Hmph, how annoying. The store gets reimbursed from the manufacturers, so I don’t understand what the big deal is.

In any event, I will do the DG coupon matchups later.

any Sunday must-do deals? Feb 27

February 27, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

Yes! Actually there are some this week.

Walgreen’s is going to be hopping with couponers this week. For my newcomers from my class this morning, here is a brief rundown of the Walgreen’s rules–it gets complicated very quickly, so if you have any questions, please contact me here or thru the Facebook page. I’ll be happy to help, or chances are one of the other readers may answer your question before I even see it.

The following items are FREE after Register Rewards (RRs). That is, they are giving back the same amount in RRs that you pay for the item. Add in the coupons that are out there for these items, and you’ll pay less than what you’ll get back. Kudos to the couponers at hcw for compiling the info.

$10 RR wyb Applied Nutrition Anti-Aging Total Body Defense 50 ct $10
$4.99 RR wyb NasoGel Drip-Free Gel Spray 1oz $4.99
$3 RR wyb Motrin IB Pain Relief 20 ct $3
$3 RR wyb Baby Magic Lotion or Hair & Body Wash 16.5 oz $3
$2.99 RR wyb Colgate Total Gum Defense or Total Advanced 4 oz. $2.99
$1.99 RR wyb Super Poligrip Free .75 oz. $1.99

The Motrin and the Baby Magic is a gain of $$, coupons in 1/9 for Motrin, and Baby Magic has a coupon on facebook, I think. Also look for hangtags on the bottles. I would expect stores to run out of these items, hopefully not.

I plan on going and getting a bunch of Motrin, then using those RRs to buy other things, like the Baby Magic. Then I’ll just hang on to my RRs and wait for opportunities within the next two weeks, to roll them.

Then, at CVS, there are items giving back the same amount in Extra Care Bucks (ECBs) that you spend on the item. For more details and discussion, look at the thread on hcw.

Crest Pro Health, at $3.29, $1 coupons in today’s paper
Revitalens solution at $5.99
Physician’s Formula is also a good deal, get $7 when you spend $10. Coupons last week, plus look for “try me free” rebate peelies on the items. If you can’t find them, go to the Rite Aid in Kennett Square, I know they have them on their products.
Softsoap body was is giving back $2 when you buy the $2.99 body wash.

There’s also a $10 back when you spend $30 on select Procter & Gamble products. Since Pampers are included, I plan on blowing whatever ECBs I have built up on the Pampers, then I’ll be back down to $10 worth again.

Then, I’ll head over to Genuardi’s and see if I can double dip on the frozen food deal. If I can get six bags of Ore Ida for a buck, yipppee! That will last me a year.
