No coupons? No problem! Week of May 22

May 24, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

Sorry I’m a bit late getting this posted this week, but there’s still plenty of time to do these deals.

Earlier this morning, I did a post on a great deal at Walgreens. I just removed that post. Sizes and coupons did not match. Yes, it requires coupons, but they are printables, so you don’t have to worry about Sunday insert coupons. All you need is a printer and a Walgreens ad from in-store, and you’ve got yourself some better-than-free Listerine and Bayer.

If you do that deal, I would then take that $4 RR you get and begin rolling it. A quick reminder of the coupon rules at Walgreens. Roll your RR on different deals, if you roll it on same brand/deal, it won’t print another RR. But this week there are a few good opportunities for rolling, such as:

Scunci hair elastics-$2 with $2 back in RR

Tone Body Wash-$3.99 with $3 back in RR

Puresilk Shave Cream-$1.99 with $1.50 back in RR

Complete Multi-purpose solution (for contact lens wearers)-$7.99 with $7.99 back in RR

Walgreens is my only store pick for “No coupons? No problem!” this week. None of the other stores are having easy freebies this week.

Happy Shopping-see you there!

Three places to help in Joplin if you wish

May 23, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

It is being reported that already they can confirm 89 people have died yesterday in the Joplin tornado. Looking at the devastation on tv this morning, it’s just amazing. If you wish to help, readers have already responded with some donation information. Please take a look at your stockpiles and try to grab up at least a $5 or $10 flat rate box and send it. Remember, do not send crap! The folks down south were completely overwhelmed with the truckloads of junk they received and it just added to their misery. People who have lost everything have zero need for single shoes and broken toys. I know you all will come through. I’m gathering up a small box of razors, deodorant and the free Crayola things we got at Walgreens a few weeks ago. I am directly copying & pasting:

Elder Andy Wilson at Mt. Hope Church of Christ. They are prepared to accept supplies. Anyone near or in Joplin that can get immediate need supplies in – please go to 2830 Mt. Hope Road Webb City MO 64870 Contact# 417-624-1795 Best route to take: 249 to 171 in Webb City.

These guys are based in Springfield MO…which is maybe an hour from Joplin. http://www.convoyofhope.org/go/who and I know they are helping…bringing volunteers in etc.

National Guard Command Post is set up at 20th and Duquesne. All licensed medical personnel is asked to report there. All citizen volunteers to Missouri Southern University. Also, be advised, severe storm warnings. They have a cell moving into Joplin with strong wind and hail.
Nurses and Doctors wishing to help in Joplin, call 417-832-9500. Greater Ozarks Red Cross

Diaper Prices this week, May 15

May 15, 2011 by · 2 Comments

Coupons-

Pampers put out a $1.50 off one coupon in the 5/2 inserts. Huggies coupons were in the 5/15 inserts in varying amounts. I don’t see any printables out there right now for Huggies, will post if I find them. Pampers doesn’t put out printables.

Walgreens-Huggies are buy two jumbo packs for $18, get $3 RR back. Using two $2 coupons, after RR-$11 for two jumbo packs, with 26 ct packs-$.21 per diaper. Not great, wouldn’t do unless have RRs to get rid of.

Genuardi’s (a Safeway store)-big boxes of both advertised at 18.99

Target-buy two big boxes of Huggies at 19.79 each, get $5 gc back. *if* you have two $3 coupons, and take into account the $5 gc, it comes out to about $0.17 per diaper; a few cents more with $2 coupons, so overall not a great deal unless you have other GCs to roll.

CVS-Huggies diapers, big box at $19, big pack of wipes at $6. Buy both for $25, get $5 back. If you get a $4 off $20 or have lots of Extra Bucks, not too bad of a deal.

Kmart-highlighting their store brand of diapers at 10% off

Walmart-if you have the $1 wipes coupons from 5/15 inserts, tubs of wipes only $0.64. Still a bit over a penny per wipe ($0.02 per wipe is my upper limit) but pretty good.

Any Sunday must-do deals?

May 15, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

If your newspaper has Parade magazine in it, look at the front cover of today’s issue. “17 Must-See Movies!” Seventeen? Really? There are seventeen movies coming out this year that qualify as must-see? I really doubt it. Lucky for you all, I’m much more discriminating in what I think is a must-see or must-do, so you I won’t have you driving around to 17 different stores.

Pathmark-if you didn’t get there yesterday, and you have a Pathmark, it’s definitely a must-do. Any coupons up to and including $1 in face value are tripled. Another deal blog that I like, Living Rich with Coupons, has done several good posts on some things to look out for. My closest Pathmark is 10-15 miles away, and unfortunately I have too many other commitments this weekend to make a side trip down there. Hopefully next time. And A&P-if you’re listening, how about doing triples at ALL your stores under your umbrella, instead of just some of them. Read-include Superfresh next time!

Scotch tape-There are two good (freebie deals) on Scotch tape this week. I’m listing them as must-do, merely because it’s not Scotch tape season, lol. In all seriousness, at Christmas time and back-to-school time, stores have lots of this to sell. They are not as well stocked this time of year, so I would expect them to run out.  Especially since it’s free with printable coupons, and those coupons are in pdf format, so you can print as many as you want.

Coupons

The first deal is at Walgreens, where it’s on sale for buy one at 1.99, get two free. Use two of the $1 printables. The second is Staples, where it’s on sale for $0.99. Staples also has a good ink cartridge deal this week. Spend $50 on ink, and you’ll get $5 back for each cartridge you turn in, instead of the usual $2. While you’re there getting your tape, you may want to consider doing this too.

I don’t see anything else I would really go out for today.
