Quick deal roundup for this week

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!

Walgreen’s-

Kmart Superdoubles

Thanks to the couponers at HCW for pointing this out–I never get Kmart ads in my paper anymore.

Starts tomorrow-superdoubles, up to $.99. No minimum purchase, no limit of how many coupons.

List of participating stores. For those of us with Acmes, Superfresh & ShopRites, this isn’t such a fantastic deal, with the $.99 limit. For a brief moment, until I read the fine print, I was really tempted to call some of my couponing friends & schedule a trip to Kmart together!

But, if you live in the land of no doubles, or doubles only up to $.50, check it out–here is the list from hcw of some current coupons you may have that would be valuable for this deal.

As always, I’ll update & repost if I learn anything new. For one thing, I want to compare the coupons I have for the catalina deal I posted about last week, as well as wait for tomorrow’s ad to see what’s on sale that is a part of that deal.

Kmart-catalina deal that runs until April 11

I saw this catalina deal posted some place, but didn’t get around to looking into it. Then, another super couponer Amanda posted that if you just purchase the Purex crystals as part of this deal, they are only $0.75 each. That reminded me to pursue this further and look into some matchups.

First, here’s the catalina offer-$10 off your next order (oyno) when you buy (wyb) $30.00 or $5 OYNO wyb $20.00. And below I have the products that are included in the deal. What’s good about Kmart catalina deals is that when they offer one, it’s usually every size and variety of that item. Not just a specific size or item like all the other stores do. For instance, when they do Procter & Gamble catalina deals, it usually includes every single P&G item in the store, which is nice. The downside is that unlike the grocers around here, it will work on sale prices, not shelf. And it appears that this catalina will work instantly and you can go back in & roll it on something else. Lately I’ve been getting the ones that require another trip the following week. At almost $4 a gallon for gas, I’m not up for that anymore.

 In any event, here we go, let’s take a look:

If you have eight Purex coupons-$32, minus $16 from eight $2 coupons, Pay $16, get $10 back. $6 for eight bottles of the Purex Crystals.

Depending on the price of the Right Guard, if you have enough bogo coupons, that could be a good deal. Mix it up with Purex, Right Guard and the Soft Scrub bogo printables, probably get some pretty cheap stuff! I have to run down to Hockessin some day this week anyway for dog food, so I may go check this out. Will report back if I find any must-do deals or freebies!
