coupon deals

slow week at Walgreen’s

October 28, 2008 by Lisa · Leave a Comment

I found $9 in RR in my purse that were going to expire this week. I really hadn’t planned on going. I wanted to go to Kmart this week and that’s it. But my inner miser will never allow me to trash $9, so………….here’s what I did

4.50 pedialyte
4.50 pedialyte
0.67 clearanced sandwich bags
Used
-1.50 pedialyte
-1.50 pedialyte
-4.00 or -5.00 RR (did this transaction twice)

Paid $1.71 and $2.71 for the transactions, got $2 RR back each time. Not fantastic, but $4 for a four quarts of Pedialyte is a great price and I have another $4RR. It’s normally over $5 a quart. And I’ll be glad that I have it on hand when illness strikes.

I love superdoubles!

It is so much fun–seeing what everyone got. I hope Kmart keeps doing this promo. Here are some links to see more deals and what you can get free or super cheap at Kmart this week.

I get my inserts today from Avon News, so I’m going to clip more tonight and go back some evening this week.

Bargaining is my religion

October 26, 2008 by Lisa · Leave a Comment

Most stores start their new sales on Sundays, hence I often spend Sunday mornings heading out and getting the deals. I really enjoy doing it, but feel guilty sometimes for not attending religious services more often. But look at what I got today for $28! I didn’t do as well as last time, if you go on a % basis, but still got lots of stuff for little money.

The above photo is my CVS haul.

40 items total

So $0 cash OOP, though I did sacrifice some ECBs. But Dan really likes Gatorade and we eat a ton of the Quaker instant oatmeal, so it was worth it. I’ll build them back up.

8 boxes of oatmeal, 20 quarts of Gatorade, 4 packs of razors and 8 soyjoy bars. The soyjoy bars are horrid, but they enabled me to gain $2 ECB on each card.

The above photo is my Kmart haul.

44 items total

$103.95 before coupons

$33 after coupons and a $5 oyno

Good news, bad news with the superdoubles. Yes, Pike Creek is doing it, no hassles and they took my IPs without so much as a blink. They also took a $2 Viva catalina that I had from Acme. The bad news is that they have fixed their registers to no longer give overage. I had many items–Pert, Gillette, Dove, Glade–that were either $3.19, $3.50 or $3.79 and I had $2 coupons. Last time it did double to $4 and I got whatever the overage was. They have fixed that, so while I still got them for free, no overage. Which I had kinda planned on to help cover the cost of my other items, though I don’t think anything I got was over $0.29 after double coupons. My final total came to $33 and I got a $5 oyno, so $28 balance.

Staying organized–last night I went through my coupons which are sorted by category, and put all the $1.50 and $2 ones near the front of the stacks. Then as I got to each aisle, like “hair,” I just pulled out my stack and compared what I had to what the sales were. I also had an idea of what good, high value coupons I had because I had just looked at them last night. With both CVS and Kmart, I was only gone from the house 90 minutes and I had Kevin with me.

Super doubles at Kmart!

October 26, 2008 by Lisa · Leave a Comment

If you get the Philly Inquirer, on the front page of the Kmart flyer, they are advertising the SuperDoubles!!

I would assume this means if you got the flyer, your nearest store is participating. I flipped through my coupons last night and nothing spectacular jumped out at me, but I may go some day this week anyway.
