Target ad, Feb 20-26, some highlights & matchups

Target is offering several gift card deals that look ok. You could start and roll the gift card into other transactions that will produce more gift cards.

First, if you need the McAfee software or H&R Block tax prep software, it’s offering a $25 GC wyb two items.

Buy two participating CDs, get a $5 GC. Justin Bieber appears to be included, lol.

Sobe-Buy 10 bottles for $10, get $5 GC. Great deal if you have any of the bogo coupons or $1/2 coupons kicking around. They were tearpads, homemailers and printables. I just checked the Sobe site and it appears they are no longer available.

Get a $5 GC wyb any two participating razors or cartridges. Fusion, Venus. There are $2, $4, and $5 coupons out there for these-from 1/30, home mailers, 2/13. Sale price is 9.89.

Zone/Perfect bars-$4.50 for box of 5 or 6. The 1/16 inserts had a $0.55/1, but if you have an Acme, get them there instead where it’s $1 per bar, or free after coupon.

Ziploc items on sale for $2.23. Lots of coupons from 2/13 make this a good price if you need it.

Planters NUTrition is on sale for $4, awesome price. I have $1 off 1 tearpad coupons I found at Acme. $3 is less than half price!

Nestle/Purina/Tidy Cat/Fancy Feast (24ct)- get $5 GC wyb any two items on page. Use this $3 printable. Also in tomorrow’s inserts and the 2/13 inserts.

Free storytime, next Saturday. I will include this again when I do next week’s “fun & frugal weekends” but just wanted to put it out there now.

Coke 12pks, 3 for $9. Use the $3 off 3 coupon from Safeway booklets.

Herbal Essences-$2.50 each. $1 off 2s in the 1/30 inserts.

Danimals/Activia-1.89, that’s the lowest I’ve seen it in a while. $1 Activia coupons from 1/30, $.89!

Box Tops Deal-which items overlap in sale & rebate

I had to do this sorting anyway, to pick out which items I’m going to purchase. Figured I might as well post it!

From the email I got from BTFE, these are the items that are a part of the rebate. Buy any *10* and you can get a $10 rebate back, either for yourself or your school. The items that are on sale this week are in purple. I put some of the items in red, because not only are they on sale, but there is an additional catalina deal.

To recap:

Buy any 10 items in purple, and they will get you a $5 Box Top at checkout, and then you can send it in for $10 more.

Buy any 10 items in red, and they will get you a $5 Box Top at checkout, a $3.50 catalina off your next purchase at Acme, and then you can send it in for $10 more.

The other items will qualify only for the $10 rebate, you will NOT get the additional $5 BTFE at checkout.

Also-don’t forget, tons of the Fruit Snacks had additional coupons and BTFEs attached to them. This is my plan:
4 Gogurts, $10, minus $3 in coupons (2x.75 doubled) =$7
6 Fruit Snacks, $15, minus $3 in coupons=$12

$19 total, pay with money and a $10 catalina I have from this week. Get back: $3.50 for buying five fruit snacks, $5 Box Top certificate, submit for $10 rebate. Not even close to being free, but….we need yogurt for the boys and they like the fruit snacks.

My Wednesday morning outing, a few finds at CVS, Walgreen’s, Acme, Peebles

I did the Conagra deal at Acme on Monday as part of my regular trip. Wanted the micro bowls of Chef Boyardee for boys’ lunches. Went to Lantana Square store to roll that into some diced tomatoes, mustard and Kid Cuisine.

Clairol hair color is clearanced to $2. I had the $2 coupons that came inside packages.

The French’s Honey Mustard dip is $1.49, I had a $.75 that doubled. I only had one, it’s from the 1/23 inserts.

There were a lot of P&G deodorants on clearance but I don’t have those coupons clipped, I know they’re out there–Old Spice, Secret, etc.

I got six Kid Cuisines, two Shine Happy hair colors, three Gulden’s mustards, one French’s dip, all for $4.99 and I got $10 back. Not bad.

Walgreen’s-some decent clearance. I found a $1 thing of Tylenol, and I had the $1 Tylenol printable that I posted a few weeks ago. I had $10 in Register Rewards to spend. Next week (the 27th) there will be a good moneymaker deal on Motrin, so I wasn’t at all concerned with ‘rolling’ my RRs into something else that will produce RRs. Just figured I’d spend them, then take a Walgreen’s break until the Motrin deal. I got the Tylenol, this Sesame Street book that has a whole bunch of magnets to go with it (Easter basket!) and some cheap VDay candy (needed fillers to accommodate the 1 coupon per item rule). Paid $.28 oop. The book was $8.99 and my boys have asked for it several times when we’ve gone, now they’re getting it.

If you didn’t get to do the Garnier hair color deal from last week-no worries! It’s on clearance now for $3.99, so if you have the $3 coupons, just $0.99!

CVS-some are getting an awesome Physician’s Formula coupon when they stick their card under the scanner. It’s a high value one, like $7 or $8 or something. I was not so lucky. I needed to refill an Rx, so I poked around. Got the Listerine that is producing Extra Bucks and I had $1 coupons. I try to stay brand loyal to the purple Listerine when we can. Several items in every dept on clearance.

Peebles-it was pretty well picked over. Kids department had NOTHING. I got two tops for really cheap. I found one knit top from Columbia that I really liked but it had black grease marks on it. Normally I’ll ask for more $$ off and try to get it out, but I don’t think it would come out and it was a white top.

No “you must go out and get this!” deals today, kinda slow right now I guess. I’ll still go to Acme one more time, probably tomorrow and do one more transaction of Conagra stuff.
