Products to shop for + a Peebles printable

January 3, 2010 by · Leave a Comment

There is a Peebles printable, 25% off any one item, at coupons.com. You can print two per computer. I’ve had great luck stacking sales and coupons there, so it may come in handy. Might be nice to stop in during January and treat yourself to a new item to beat the mid-winter blahs.

This is the time of year when manufacturers try to cash in on consumers making New Year’s resolutions. Look for deals on diet, nutrition, health, vitamins and wellness items. Today’s paper is loaded with coupons for all of this stuff. Also, look for these items, as well as cosmetics, to be clearanced. Makes for some great deals when you combine clearance with coupons, and many of the items are clearanced just for new packaging. Walgreen’s and CVS will also be running lots of Register Reward deals and ECB deals on these items in January, if they repeat what they have done in past years.

Good-Bye to an old friend

April 27, 2009 by · Leave a Comment

And that old friend is the Walgreen’s monthly Easy Saver Rebate catalog. The most recent issue (April) expired on Saturday and Walgreen’s is no longer publishing it.

I will miss you…………

I was never a huge fan of the monthly rebates, though I did them occasionally. I *loved* the IVC (instant value coupons) that were in them that could be combined with mfr coupons. My most recent haul was the free Garnier hair stuff.

I also will miss the double-dip days. All time favorite of course was last July……when we could double dip on those diaper coupons for two days……and it included an RR deal too. For every 4 packs of diapers I got, Walgreen’s paid me $0.96 net. Sigh……..that was a really fun two days, I cleaned off every shelf in southern Chester county and Hockessin.

But it was not meant to be, as Walgreen’s has discontinued the booklet (probably due in part to couponers like myself clearing the shelves and not paying a penny). This week shows a lot of promise with the RR deals they are offering, let’s just hope it continues.

Good time for rolling…..at Walgreen’s

April 24, 2009 by · 1 Comment

There’s a deal starting on Sunday at Walgreen’s that I want to do….and luckily there’s some good stuff prior to that.

First–a reminder on limitations on Walgreen’s Register Rewards. You cannot roll them on the same deal/item–the RRs will not print. Only 1 coupon per item, and a RR counts as a coupon.

This week: Edge/Skintimate shave cream is 2.99 with 3.00 RR back. I do not know of any coupons available. Saturday is last day to do this. I bought two, in two separate transactions (otherwise the RR won’t print for both) as my seed money. Check store flyer for specific varieties you need to purchase.

Then, starting Sunday–several free items, offering same amount of RR as is purchase price. Nivea bath wash (and there were $1 insert coupons last week for this). Bayer aspirin (check flyer for specific kind) and a few other things.

So I got my RR from the shave cream. Plan to roll that into the Nivea and the Bayer, and will actually gain $1 if I use the coupon.

Then..roll that into the Gatorade/photo deal. See flyer for specifics, but if you buy 4 six-packs of Gatorade, you get a RR for 75 free prints. I also have $2 peelies for each of my six-packs of Gatorade, that I found at Acme. Check your local supermarket or Acme, and see if they are there.

I’m backlogged on photos I want to print, so this is a good chance to catch up. I’ll need fillers if I use the Nivea and the Gatorade coupons, but overall, I think a cash investment of $14 will get me 2 cans of shave gel, 4 six-packs of Gatorade, one Nivea body wash, one Bayer and 75 photo prints.

Lots of OYNO deals coming next week

January 13, 2009 by · 3 Comments

My ads came early (yay!) so here’s what I see at first glance:

Giant and Superfresh both doing OYNO deals. Giant’s is Unilever stuff (Ragu, Lipton, Skippy) and Superfresh’s is General Mills. I’m not doing any of those but just putting it out there for you non-Acme shoppers. There are always GM and Unilever coupons out there for you to match up. Superfresh starts Friday, Giant Sunday.

Pepsi/Gatorade: Both CVS and Wags are doing a deal. Spend $20, get $10 back in either ECBs or RRs. The Walgreen’s deal has better prices on the Gatorade, CVS has better prices on the Pepsi. I’m still going to CVS for Gatorade as I have a ton of ECBs to burn and at Wags I’d have to spend actual money. Doritos is also owned by Pepsi and included in both deals. Unless you happen to come across a tearpad at a store, coupons for these items are usually hard to find. Starts Sunday.

Makeup at CVS: Cover Girl and Maybelline both have decent ECB deals that should be almost break even/free deals if you have coupons. I never get Cover Girl coupons in my inserts, but some people do. Some Maybelline is also bogo and CVS usually lets you use 2 coupons on a bogo deal. And don’t forget to see what is on clearance and match it up with your coupons for great deals.

CVS also has a 24 hour allergy relief free after ECB. Roll those bucks if you need to.

Clairol Natural Instincts is $3.99 after ECBs and I think there are $2 coupons out for this. This is the kind I use and I haven’t seen it for much cheaper than this.

Walgreen’s also has a Spend 20, get 10 deal on dayquil, nyquil, vicks. Coupons coming out this weekend. Not free, but cheap if you need it. Ricola cough drops are $1.29 and I have $1 coupons for this–they look like insert coupons. Also running a Unilever deal on the Unilever HBA items-Dove, Caress, Sunsilk. Starts Sunday.

Other items I’ll be looking at at Acme when I do my weekly trip, ad starts on Friday:
Chicken breasts for $1 per lb.
The baby deal I mentioned in a previous blog post.
The Ragu & Skippy bogo deals on back page of ad. There MUST be Unilever coupons coming out this Sunday, with practically every store doing a Unilever deal. So if you don’t currently have any and can wait to grocery shop, I would. Remember Acme will take 2 coupons on a bogo, and double them too, and the Skippy and the Ragu are bogo.
Acme also running a $5/20 General Mills deal. I do not need anything, except maybe Bisquick and Progresso soups. Might be interesting if shelf prices work.
Fresh Express bagged salads are bogo but I think those mfr coupons expired.
Arnold bread on sale for 1.99 and there are $0.55 coupons out. $0.80 is cheap bread and they don’t put any HFCS in theirs, which I like.

I’ll hit Acme for my weekly trip and CVS for the Gatorade, browse the makeup, but that’s about it.
