Acme ad, Aug 19-25; highlights & matchups, two $5 deals

Don’t forget to load your Acme e-savings and get all your printables before you go. Use the coupons.com toolbar on this blog or on my facebook page to get the latest & greatest printables.

Acme has some decent sales coming up this week. If you did the BTFE promo this week (still two days left!) you can roll your $5 catalinas into other offers.

There is a Procter & Gamble promo–$5 back when you spend $20. Should work on shelf prices, then pay sale prices minus any coupon. Be aware of knockdown prices and double check your math. I have heard of a few shoppers not getting their catalinas recently. Items included, and sale prices listed:

Secret-$4.29

Crest-$2

Gillette/OS body wash-$3.99

OS deodorant-$4.29

Tampax-$7.49

Always infinity-$7.49

Prilosec-$11.99

Aussie-$3.29

Crest 3D whitestrips-20% off

Now, before you go “Holy cow!” at looking at those ‘sale’ prices, know that most of them are featuring twin packs and bonus sizes. That’s why they are higher than usual.

P&G coupons: 7/31 inserts, Cover Girl and Olay had coupons last week, don’t forget the $20/$50 Olay rebate. With the Olay coupons and rebates, you could probably get some of the Olay stuff very cheap!

End of P&G details.

Danimals-$2, $1 coupons last week.

$1 produce sale-Avocadoes, red peppers, mini carrots, button mushrooms, cukes, broccoli slaw, celery.

I know I have $0.25 carrot coupons from the Acme game thing, and I think I got Wish bone coupons from that too.

Acme chicken breasts, split, bone in-$0.99–this is my stock up price for this, they grill up very nicely, we follow the Bobby Flay grilling instructions.

Overall a decent week-Happy shopping!

Diaper prices this week, 8/14

Walgreens-has jumbo packs of Pampers 2 for $20, $3 back in RR wyb two packs. Use two $2 coupons from 7/31 inserts, pay just $6.50 per jumbo pack. Not terrible, but def not my stock up price. The Huggies are $9.49 with $2 back, but only offers sizes 3,4,5 for RR diaper promo. But, there is a coupon in the Infant Care booklet if you have one of those kickin’ around, plus any mfr coupons. I think there’s another store coupon for Huggies in the Walgreens monthly booklet too. Walgreens is definitely my pick this week if you need diapers. Plus, they have lots of Free after RR items this week, so buy those first, then roll those RRs into the diapers.

Target-giant boxes for $29.99, $10 gc wyb two boxes. Even with mfr coupons and after gc, not a great price. Still, if you don’t want to be bothered with RRs, give it a look. Make sure you do the math–some of those big boxes are as expensive $0.30 per diaper or more.  Bulk packs does not always equal lower prices.

CVS-offering ECB deals on both Huggies and Pampers, plus look for clearanced CVS brand diapers. Oddly the ad does not mention a per-card limit on the Huggies. Check your receipts, it may be more than one.

Superfresh–offering a free bundle pack of Kleenex wyb $30 worth of Kimberly Clark items, which includes Huggies. Should work off of shelf prices, then pay sale price and minus any coupons. Don’t forget to check Zavers before you go.

Acme-no deals listed, assume regular price.

Giant-has some ‘sale’ prices listed, but $8.99 for a jumbo pack or $19.99 for a box is not much of a sale, imo.

Kmart-nothing showing in online ad.
