a few freebies

January 19, 2009 by · Leave a Comment

Wholly Guacamole is free at Superfresh this week using the mfr coupon from yesterday’s paper.

CVS is offering $3 ECBs wyb 3 Hallmark cards. Buy three of the $0.99 ones, pay with ECBs, and get your ECBs back in return. Limit is 5, so stock up on birthday, sympathy, get well, whatever. Even if you don’t have ECBs to roll, a good way to get started–greeting cards are something you can always use and $0.99 is a good price for one.

There’s a Nestle Nesquick drink or something on sale at Acme for $1. There are $0.50 coupons (doubled) from last week I believe.

Walmart has $1 packages of Kotex. Use the $1 off ANY coupon that was in last week’s paper-free!

Kmart-limit on coupons & CVS refused coupon on raincheck

January 18, 2009 by · 2 Comments

First, just wanted to make sure that everyone is aware of the new limit on coupons at Kmart superdoubles. It used to be 75 coupons, no more than 4 of the same coupon. They have since lowered it to 25 coupons, per customer, per day. Whether they’ll actually hold customers to this limit remains to be seen, but be prepared. I think I will sit this one out. There’s nothing to really get excited about and I don’t have plans to be in that direction this week.

Last fall, CVS offered one of the L’oreal Revitalift cremes for 11.99 with 11.99 back in ECBs. They were out when I got there, so I got a raincheck. Last week at the coupon scanner, I got a coupon for $3 off this product, and I had a $2 mfr coupon for it, so I thought with it being a $5 moneymaker, it would be a good time to redeem that raincheck. The cashier supervisor refused to take my mfr coupon for this item, saying that “I was already getting it for free.” Oh well, I still made $3 on the deal. But this is new. If I had been able to purchase the item when it was originally on sale with the ECBs, they would have taken coupons along with it, as I have done many, many times.

Pepsi Rebate

January 16, 2009 by · Leave a Comment

If you do either of the Pepsi deals starting Sunday at Wags or CVS, hang on to your receipt. Send it with this form. No cash back, just coupons. But coupons are almost like cash to me sometimes. Unfortunately this is only if you buy actual soda, other Pepsi products like Gatorade are not included and we don’t drink soda.

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.
