all good things must come to an end…………

My vacation that is. Back to school today, boo. I probably won’t go to Acme today because on Mondays I pick up my inserts. So tonight I’ll clip what I want/need as far as GM stuff and go back tomorrow. From what I’ve read on hcw, it’s all still working–the rolling and the shelf prices. A few items do not work even though they should, so make sure you check the thread before you go.

In other news……..looking for a place to use the $2.50 Electrasol coupon you got yesterday? Walgreen’s. It’s on sale for $3.50 this week there, and you can submit it for the monthly rebate for $1.50, so you actually make money on the deal. Even if you don’t do the monthly rebate thing, I think $1 is the best we’re going to find–most places the Electrasol is over $4. Finally a dishwasher detergent deal! I hadn’t done one since Rite Aid had the free/cheap Electrasol over the summer and was running low. Now between Walgreen’s and the Cascade at Acme, I’m back in business.

Sigh……..time to get ready for work. If my posts aren’t as frequent, you know why. This pesky work thing always gets in the way of my couponing hobby.

Walgreen’s moneymaker & Kellogg’s coupons

First, there are $1 off one Kellogg’s coupons at coupons.com. Good for the month of January. I know there is a Kellogg’s deal coming up at Walgreen’s, Kmart will be doing superdoubles again, so they may come in handy. Print them now before print limit is reached and they pull them.

Second, look at this thread on hotcouponworld about a moneymaker on Robitussin/Dimetapp.A great deal if you have gift card money, RRs to spend, or need cough/cold medicine and don’t mind shelling out $10 oop. There are too many details to list, that’s why I’m just posting the link to the thread. But basically, you pay $10 for 5 boxes of cold medicine, and walk out with $20 in RR. I have not tried this deal and do not plan to. I just gave away dozens of boxes of this stuff to a friend. Apparently the FDA or CDC or AAP or someone now recommends not giving any cough/cold medicine to children under age 4. So rather than hold on to it, I gave it to a friend with older children.

Lastly, when I was in the Avondale Walgreen’s the other day, the cashier commented on how well I did that day. Then she said that the Happy Harry’s on Route 7, I assume she means Lantana Square, has better deals. Not sure what that means, but if you’re in the area, you may want to check it out.

Walgreen’s holiday clearance

Run, don’t walk…………to Walgreen’s clearance, if you have coupons!

Hershey’s Bliss–buy the holiday ones for 75% off, use the $2.50 off 2 bags mfr coupon, and the $1 off 2 bags IVC coupon in the monthly booklet. I got lots of overage! After the 75% off, it’s $2.14 for 2 bags, then you have $2.50+ $1.00 in coupons! woo hoo!

Other Hershey’s–$2.50 a bag, or $0.63 after 75% off. Use the $1.50 off 3 bags mfr coupon that was out.

Fructis–clearanced to $2.19; use the $2 coupon in the wags monthly booklet, plus the $1 mfr coupon if you have it. More overage!

I got: 10 bags of Bliss, 3 bags of Hershey’s candy, 3 things of Fructis, 1 Revlon Matte blush, 4 gift totes….and a partridge in a pear tree. For $1.08. Plus I’m getting $11 back in rebates for the blush.

still slow……..

Still no deals to get excited over.

CVS-new ad starts tomorrow. If you have ECBs that you need to roll over and cannot wait until next week, there are a few ‘free after ECB’ items. But they stink, nothing I’d really want.

Sunday & Monday only
Nova Max glucometer/monitor $9.99
EARinse $9.99
Sleep MD $7.99
All of the above are free after ECBs and limit 1

All Week
Contour Monitor $14.99 get a $5.00 ECB (limit 1)

Colgate Total Advanced $2.99 get a $2.00 ECB (limit 2)

ACME
Another dud of a week. I’m going to keep my trip small. The only decent deal is the Kellogg’s cereal. $1.67 a box, must buy 3. If you have any of the $1 off one coupons left, only $0.67 a box. These coupons were in the inserts a few weeks ago and I believe they expire 12/31, so I guess I’ll use up whatever I have.

Walgreen’s
Today is the last day for this week’s spend $25 get $5 RR. I’ve done this deal twice. Buy the Arm & Hammer detergent that is advertised with an in-store coupon on the back of the ad. The detergent is $6.99, but then with coupon, only $1.99 and there is a $1 off one coupon available on the A&H website. The best part is that $6.99 will count towards your $25 total. Then when you hand them the coupon, the register takes $5 off for each one. The site will let you print 2 coupons.
