I had to run in for milk & a few things, and I always stop & check the clearance shelves.

There were lots & lots of powdered drink mixes-Crystal Light, 4C, Propel, on clearance. A whole side of a fixture. I didn’t look too closely because I can’t have artificial sweeteners so I never buy them.

Tampax, the big boxes, on clearance for $4. There are $2 coupons from the last P&G inserts–I think $2 for a big box is a good deal. I got two and left plenty. But at the Avondale store, they are on the bottom shelf, and I pushed them against the back of the fixture. If you’re just standing there at the fixture, kinda hard to see without bending down. Yes, I hid them so that only my readers could find them! Of course, I know that Acme Markets reads this too, so maybe they’ll be moved, lol.

Deli- Dietz & Watson ham is on sale for $5.99/lb. That is an awesome price for that! Almost half off. Good lunch meat deals are hard to find.

There were a few other things I saw but didn’t get……….and now I can’t remember what they were! One was on clearance in frozen foods. If I remember, I’ll add it.

This morning at the coupon swap, the general consensus is that there really aren’t any must-do deals this week.

The Skintimate/Edge Shave gel is a good deal at both Walgreen’s & CVS this week. Cheaper at CVS if you have the Extra Bucks to spend instead of cash, but I believe it’s limit one. At Walgreen’s, it comes out to $.50/can after coupons, but there is no limit. Remember to purchase them separately if you go to W’s, no matter how many you buy per transaction, you’ll only get one RR. And RRs DO NOT roll on same items. If you want to roll them, you have to alternate brands/manufacturers.

Axe is bog50% this week at Walgreen’s, with bogo coupons coming out tomorrow. My friend Sarah explained it to me this way, I still get very confused trying to stack these two deals–I’m going to C&P her message to me-

Now

If there are any coupons out for example $1.00/1 or $1.00/2 theoretically again you should be able to use those in conjunction as long as the bogo coupon doesn’t have a 14 in it.

if you use a $1.00/2 you want 2 bogo coupons and buy 4 products.

I should note..that you may want to wait to post until after Sunday because occasionally it ends up showing up as bogo free and/or instead of one showing up completely free it deducts the price down for both.

My assistant managers at my local walgreens are under the zealot type so I don’t try bogo coupons with a bogo sale.”

I’m going to take her advice, wait until Monday and recheck the Walgreen’s forum on hotcouponworld, see what’s happening. I’ll post what I find out.

I tried to renew an Rx this week at CVS and I was 3 days too early, per my insurance company, stupid. So I have to go there anyway and may get the Skintimate. Otherwise, I’m going to sit this week out. My Almay RRs from Walgreen’s don’t expire for 2 weeks, so I’m going to hold out & see if there is a better deal next week to roll them on.

For my groceries this week, I don’t need much. I’m going to go to Superfresh for my dairy items, and to get some of the $1 cheese. $1 for 8 oz of shredded cheese is a great price and something I use quite a bit in cooking. The 8oz bricks are also $1, so I’ll get a few of those for my little guy who is on a cheese kick lately.

I’ll go to Acme just for the Danimals-$1.49 each when you buy 10 items. I have several of the $1 coupons and a friend spotted $.55 peelies on some of them-so that brings them down to $.39/box. Hopefully on Monday or Tuesday when I get there, there is still a decent supply with long exp dates and plenty of peelies.

We interrupt this post to bring you: Juicy Juice Printables!

On sale at Acme this week, part of the buy ten items, save  $5. You can print two per computer, does require registration. So that’s what I’ll do, pop into Acme to get 6 Danimals, 4 Juicy Juice & some produce.

I’m glad for a slow week, gives me a chance to catch up on things. And who knows, maybe Kmart or DG will have something to offer.
