Random deals

I’m taking a slight break for the weekend, Giant wore me out this week! Giant looks very blah next week, which is fine with me.

Starting tomorrow–superdoubles at Kmart, coupon value up to $1. Limit 5 per day. I’ll post any decent matchups if I see them.

CVS and Walgreen’s looking blah again, I’ll post anything extraordinary if I see it posted.

Superfresh has great deals this week, and I found out yesterday that if you get a 10% off coupon, it will come off of your pre-supercard savings. Very cool!

Acme has a Kraft deal and an Edy’s deal. Kraft is instant savings combined with a catalina. Edy’s catalina was not working yesterday, may want to hold off on buying that stuff if you can.

I get my Sunday paper today. Old Navy has good coupons 10/50 or 15/50 if your kids need back to school stuff. Good coupon inserts this week, an entire General Mills insert, so hopefully a good deal coming soon at Acme.

Staples has very good BTS deals, printable coupons online.

Walgreen’s looking better this week-coupon on my facebook page; rebate links here for P&G

If you already “like” Lisa’s Bargain Alert on Facebook, then you’ve already seen the coupon I posted for Walgreen’s. And if you haven’t been there yet, go! Go now! There’s a 15% off all your Walgreen’s purchases printable on there, posted today.

A few tips:

Look for sale items, and in particular Buy One, Get One deals and Olay. If an item is Buy One Get One, or Buy 1 Get 1 50% off, you can use a manufacturers’ coupon for each item. If an item is BOGO and you have  a BOGO coupon, you can double up. Olay, Venus, and lots of other Procter & Gamble products are offering rebates, either 10 from 30 or 20 from 50.

On top of all of that, add the extra 15% off coupon, and you’ve got yourself some great deals! Head on over and like Lisa’s Bargain Alert.

Rebates here! Olay olay olay!

If I had to shop this week……..

August 1, 2010 by · Leave a Comment

I love getting the Sunday paper. In the winter time I curl up on the couch with my coffee, in the summer I go out on my patio in the morning with my coffee. I love Pennsylvania summers.

This morning I had time to look over most of the ads, overall a dull week. Lots of good deals to be had, but I certainly didn’t see anything that was “must do” in terms of a great freebie or moneymaker.

If I had to buy household essentials this week, I’d go to Kmart. They are offering several catalina deals, including a get $10 when you buy $35 Procter & Gamble. I would try stacking that, if you need the stuff, with the Hanes/Tide/Downy deal inside the flyer. Purchase what you need for that deal, and add to your P&G stack to get to $35, hopefully you’d get the $10 and the $5 back. I haven’t seen any reports yet of it working that way.

Hubby is brand loyal to Right Guard. So I’m going to do the Buy $20 get $5 for that, will only cost me $10 after coupons, get $5 back. Then I plan to get $35 worth of Natural Instincts, which I am brand loyal to. Use my $5 catalina from Right Guard, coupons–hopefully pay about $10, get $10 and $5 back. If that works, will turn around and do a diapers/wipes deal with Pampers stuff. They also have a good GM cereal deal. Purchase 4 boxes for $10, get another $4 off, or $6. $1.50 a box–and if you have coupons for it, even better. Lots of GM coupons in last week’s paper. Lots of P&G coupons in this week’s paper. Put together transactions of what you need, and after coupons and the $10 catalina, should be able to do well. Cashiers often get annoyed with me because I may do 2 or 3 back to back transactions when I get in line, but oh well. If it means I can roll my catalinas and get free or cheap stuff, too bad!

For groceries, I’d go to Superfresh. As I posted last week, they have several catalina deals going. Remember, at Superfresh (but not Kmart) you only need to get to your spending threshhold using shelf prices, not sale prices.

School/office supply deals galore this week–whatever you need, you should be able to find a good price on it at any of the big stores.

CVS and Walgreen’s leave me flat this week, which makes me regret even more not getting into CVS last week for diapers and photo books.

If you go to Acme, I have read online of shoppers being able to purchase an Acme gift card with the P&G catalina. Remember, works on shelf prices.

clearance time

January 23, 2010 by · Leave a Comment

Typically, January and February are huge clearance sale months. This year appears to be the same. I was in Peebles today (earlier post) and they are having great clearance deals. I also was in Kmart, CVS and Walgreen’s this week and all of those stores are having clearance deals. So if you have a bit of winter cabin fever, grab your coupons and head out to a store. Poke around the clearance items and see what coupon matchups you can do. Lots of great deals to be had. I got some Vicks throat spray this morning at Kmart (Pike Creek) that actually gave me 1.01 in overage.

As far as apparel, generally most apparel retailers follow the same time line. Stuff is clearanced right after xmas and up until Presidents’ day weekend. As the markdowns and sales get better, the selection gets worse. Timing is everything and you have to enjoy the hunt.

Happy shopping!
