Box Tops Deal-which items overlap in sale & rebate

February 17, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

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.

Cheerios
Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Lucky Charms
Kix
$2.50 each

Betty Crocker Cookie pouches $2
Betty Crocker frosting $2

Bisquick Baking Mix boxes  $3

Old El Paso Dinner Kits
Hamburger Helper Complete Meals

Betty Crocker Fruit Rollups
Betty Crocker Fruit by the Foot
Betty Crocker Fruit Gushers
Nature Valley Crunchy Granola Bars
Additional Catalina deal, note the dates, this won’t overlap with the sale until Tuesday!
Buy Betty Crocker Fruit Flavored Snacks between 2/22-3/21
Buy 3, get $1.50; buy 4, get $2.50; buy 5+, get $3.50 OYNO
$2.50 each

Pillsbury Toaster Strudel
Totino’s Pizza Roll Snacks $1.39

Pillsbury Grands Biscuits $2
Pillsbury Sweet Rolls
Pillsbury Ready to Bake Cookies

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.

Superfresh ad, Feb 18-24; Procter & Gamble, Blue Bunny catalinas

February 17, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

You know what today is……..the day I get my ads, but also the night my favorite tv show is on at 8. So I’m going to do the Procter & Gamble deal matchups first and post it, if I have time I’ll do the rest. Otherwise look for it much later or tomorrow. Can’t miss “The Middle” and “Modern Family.”

Ok, the promo is buy $35 worth get $10 back. Don’t forget to load your zavers card with e-savings. Superfresh works off of shelf prices to get to the spending threshold, then pay sale price minus any coupons. If anyone knows the shelf prices, please chime in. I’m going off of memory from past deals.

Bounty, 8 roll pack-11.99; (shelf price is 14.99 or 15.99) (0.25 off on esavings)
Tide, 12.99 (shelf is 15.69 I think?) (0.35 off on esavings) ($3 off on esavings, Tide Stain Release only)

Joy 14 oz, 1.29

Cascade 45 oz, 3.69

Bounty napkins, 2.99; shelf is 3.99 (0.25 off on esavings)

Puffs 3 pack, 5.49

Downy 64 oz, 3.69 (0.50 off on esavings)

Febreze 16.9 oz, 3.89

Always 14-60 ct, 3.29

Tampax, 20 ct, 3.29

Pantene 25.4 oz 5.99

align & prilosec-1.50 off
Crest 4.2 oz 2.49 (got 0.75 off on esavings)

Pampers jumbo-9.49, shelf is 9.99

Pampers wipes 128-144 ct-5.29

Olay Regenerist or Definity 1.00 off

Sensor 3 or Daisy 3-7.49

There have been insert coupons for almost all the Procter & Gamble products, and everything that is out right now should be good at least until 2/28. There also are home mailers and good coupon packs inside of other P&G items. Bummer that Charmin is not included, and the Pampers are not a great price.

This is my plan-
5 Bounty napkins 19.95 shelf
1 Tide 15.69 shelf

35.64
Sale prices=14.95+12.99=27.94

Minus esavings 3.35 for tide, .50/each for Bounty=24.39

I have five $1 coupons for Bounty, $3 coupon for Tide (1/30 inserts)

Final out of pocket=16.39, get $10 back. I may roll that $10 catalina one more time into an additional identical transaction. All I really need (besides always trying to score diapers) is napkins and Tide. Maybe I’ll get a big pack of paper towels in there some place.

You could do:
Two Tide=31.38 plus a Cascade (even sale price puts you over $35, I don’t know what the shelf price is)
Sale price=29.67
Esavings for Tide-6.70=22.97
Minus $1 for Cascade (insert coupons) and either one or two $3 Tide coupons, depending on how many inserts you have.
Pay appx $17-$19, get $10 back.
Now, who wants ice cream? I guess the grocers caught wind of the weather forecast and are starting the ice cream deals already. I got so many boxes of free Blue Bunny novelty items last year, I’m pretty sure there are still some in my freezer.
The Blue Bunny offer is buy $15, get $3 back. Will also work off of shelf prices. It says “assorted varieties & novelties” on sale for $3 each. I do not recommend the grasshopper ice cream sandwiches–they were too spearminty, not pepperminty enough. Love the Bunny Tracks ice cream.

Printables for Blue Bunny.

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

February 16, 2011 by · Leave a Comment

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.
