Is it just me, or is it a slow week for deals? I guess that’s to be expected. All the sales are focused on Mothers Day items like jewelry, flowers, candy, picture frames, perfume and other stuff like that.

And I apologize for being light on posting lately. What I’ve been doing instead of blogging: enjoying the sunshine, cleaning out closets & getting ready for our neighborhood yard sale, taking a class to become a BCEA (special ed advocate) and just mom stuff. As the great deals increase, so will my posts; that’s usually how it goes. Anyway, for this week, there are a few things to check out.

Acme-I posted last week about the P&G deal and gave an update. I still will probably do it two or three more times to get dog food & paper towels. But the P&G coupons aren’t that hot, nothing to make anything free. And my coupons, I noticed this week I got MANY more $1 off 2s instead of $1 off 1s. Gee, thanks P&G. And the $0.20 coupons–seriously? A bottle of Downy is $6 or $7, $0.40 isn’t even a 10% savings. How do you go from offering $2 off of Pampers wipes to offering $0.20 off? Ok, enough of that. But, I didn’t see anything on knockdown which is good, will all work on shelf prices. And if you need the stuff and have the good home mailer coupons, there are decent deals to be had. And the Wisk is a decent deal if you can find the clearance and have the $2 coupons.

Giant-I will check out the Pampers deal in conjunction with the $25/$100 offer and report back. I do want to check this one out.

CVS-Meh. Colgate will be a moneymaker, depending on what coupons you have for it, but it’s limit two. The Frito Lay items, the smaller ones are 3 for $1 and you get $1 back wyb three. So free, and you can do it 5x. But I’m not expecting much. I would expect that most stores won’t have enough on hand of what I like. After all, every couponer will be buying 15 items. My apologies–I should have posted this yesterday as a Sunday must-do deal, I bet by now there’s already not much left! They also have several P&G offers. I would like to get the Soleil which is cheap. I dislike that they are posting the deals in supercouponer format. Hmph. Overall not a terrible week, but no hot freebies, imo.

Walgreens-I have $10 in RR that I must spend this week, what to spend them on? I really don’t see anything, so will probably not roll them, just spend them. I do need envelopes which are on sale. The GUM flossers are free after RR and I think I may actually have coupons for those that I got inside of packages. Walgreens has also started posting some of their deals in supercouponer format.

Good week to stock up on razors, I guess.

Kmart-doing a $10/$35 P&G deal. Will work on sale prices, not shelf prices. Has always rolled for me.

Ulta-has a $3.50 off $10 coupon on front of flyer. Can be stacked with mfr coupons and sales. They are currently running sales on P&G stuff (Cover Girl, Olay, Pantene, Venus), Garnier, Neutrogena, Physicians Formula & Revlon–all of which currently have mfr coupons out. Check the PF stuff for “Try Me Free” rebate offers stuck to packages as peelies.

L.L.Bean-I haven’t tried it yet, but I read that using the code THANKYOU will get you an additional 20% off your purchase, plus they now offer FREE shipping all the time with no restrictions. Last time I found a code, I got the boys some of the unshrinkable tees which are only $8 each wyb three. Then it did take another % off with the code. I love these tees for them, they hold up very well. Can also be stacked with clearanced items and I saw several cute cropped pants I need to check more closely.

Target also offering several P&G items on a gift card deal. Not bad prices if you need the stuff and have coupons. Even better if you have other $5 GCs to roll. They also have an Aveeno GC deal.

I certainly will update with my news on the Giant deal which I hope to check out tomorrow. And other great deals as I find them!
