Just stopped at home for more coupons!

Went to the CVS Minute Clinic–not strep, yay! Just a regular ole sore throat. Funny how a good deal makes you feel better.

Crest whitestrips-got the ones that are $31.99
Used the $10 insert coupon from January P&G inserts
$4 ECBs (all I had)
Got the $10 instant savings……..and got the $10 ECB back.

Did it again, still not saying “limit reached” at bottom of receipt, so off I go for more.

Running errands this Saturday morning? My deal picks; hidden deals and more!

If you’re out & about this Saturday morning, these are my picks for deals to do before they end (today).

Walgreen’s-if you haven’t done the Garnier hair color deal that I posted about earlier this week, today is the last day. I did it once but may go back today and get three more. Another couponer on hcw posted that she finds this hair color to be better than Natural Instincts, which is the brand I usually use. And if I don’t like it, I’m only out a buck!

Hidden deal found at CVS-Crest whitestrips are priced around $30. They are producing a $10 Extra Buck when you buy them, there are $7-$10 coupons from the 1/16 and 1/30 inserts, and it’s giving shoppers $10 instant savings when you purchase them. Very cheap or possibly free!

Also as CVS, many shoppers are getting a $1 off ANY body wash coupon (store coupon). If you get it, use this coupon for Dove  body wash to get yours for free.

And of course the Acme shoppers are all abuzz with the Conagra freebies this week, I’m still very luke warm about this deal.

I don’t feel well and am afraid I may have strep, so I’m going to the Minute Clinic at CVS today. I’ll at least be doing those deals while I’m out, then coming home & going to bed!

Free Teddy Bear-printable inside

Buy 3 American Greetings cards and use this printable to get a free Teddy Bear. I printed mine, expires 2/14, cards must be $.99 or higher. I think I may go find some generic sympathy or birthday cards that I like to have on hand, and get a free bear too!

Note: this is a regular Bricks coupon so it could be used any place. But it came in my Acme email, and I would wonder if other stores would have the teddy bears in stock.

Acme (Supervalu): a few freebies & cheaps I found

Just got back from my weekly shopping trip for the family. Spent $80, saved 40%, go me! Anyway, I was without the boys, so I had time to poke around & matchup coupons as I perused the aisles. If you shop at any of the stores in the Supervalu chain, check your store as they often have similar prices & promotions.

This is only for the Avondale location, but it appears that they are having some freezer/refrigerator troubles, so all the big hams were reduced to 1.99/lb while supplies last. If you have the freezer space, get your Easter ham now.

First, the Dove/Suave Unilever $5/$15 catalina deal–if you do that promo, you’ll get your stuff cheap. But going from shelf price to sale price minus coupons, I don’t see any freebies. Even the deodorant, the one that there is a $2 coupon out for–that’s $4.19 shelf, $3.99 sale. So no great differences in price from shelf to sale to boost it along.

However…there are many Suave and Dove items on clearance. So if you just want cheap stuff without the hassle of trying to figure out a catalina deal, check the shelves for the red clearance tags.

Also on clearance–the Philly Cream Cheese singles or minis or whatever they’re called. On clearance for 1.89 and I’m fairly certain there were $1/1s last week.

Febreze candles-$3.59, there are $2 coupons out for these. And I like these candles–with 3 dogs we go through a lot of candles.

The Ronzoni Garden pasta is $1.25 and there are $1/1s out for this–only $0.25 for a pound of pasta. There are also lots of printables out, I did a post on this last week, use search in upper left hand of page, that post has several links to printables.

The Tabasco sauce (tabasco brand), the small bottle is $1, so check your coupon binders for the $0.50/1s that came out recently–free!

Franks, the small bottle is $1 and I had $1/2s for it. Two bottles for a buck, great price–and I can’t wait to make that buffalo chicken dip tomorrow! Yum!

French’s brand worcestershire sauce–the big 20 oz bottle is only $1.79, so if you have the $0.75 coupon, only $0.29. It says “50% more free” or something on the package. I don’t use it often, but like to have it on hand for when a recipe calls for it–and that’s a fantastic price for that big bottle.

Kraft 2% singles are $2, hopefully you snagged the $1 off 1 printable link when I posted it, because it’s no longer available, but $1 for a pack of Kraft singles is a great price. For $1, it’s cheaper than the generic brand, so my dog will be getting it when she takes her meds every day.

I need spaghetti sauce, and have the $1 off 2 Ragu coupons, which is $1.50 right now. But the tag says it will be that price until 5/5, I’m going to hold out for a better sale or catalina deal. $0.50 is pretty much my upper limit of what I will pay for a jar of spaghetti sauce and I’ve been able to do well sticking to that price point. At some point, Acme will reduce it to $0.99, they have to, right? They always do!

More clearance-L’oreal stuff for hair, Aveeno hair stuff and Nexxus.

Back by the deli, look for the tearpads for a mail in rebate for “try me free” Snapple. Also snagged some good tearpad coupons–$0.75 off Kraft Homestyle Mac & Cheese. I don’t want either of these items but they’ll make good trading coupons.

New Heart Smart booklet in front of store. I grabbed a few but haven’t looked in it yet.
