SCENARIO SUNDAY – CVS, Target, Walgreens, and Bath and Body Works

November 2, 2008 by

Sorry for the late start this week. I know that whoever decided to put Halloween and the “fall back” time change back to back did NOT have children!

TARGET

Target is my favorite for deals this week!

In addition to the Glade candles deal, they have a deal this week where you get either a $5 gift card or a free gallon of milk (check the ad for your area because it varies by market) when you buy 5 boxes of Kellogg’s cereal (priced at $2.75). There is a printable coupon for $1/1 Kellogg’s cereal here:

http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=rjnefah1098550&bt=wi&o=54148&c=KC&p=uU1wzMHO

You can print it 4 times. There are also various cereal coupons on Kelloggs.com. So, if you use five $1/1 coupons, you either get 5 boxes of cereal and a gallon of milk for $8.75 or you get five boxes of cereal and a $5 gift card for $8.75 (if you’ve done the candles deal, use your gift card from that, and you only spend $3.75!)

Don’t forget the Prego deal also! It is on sale this week for $1.67. There are $1/3 and .75/2 (it depends on your ara) manufacturer’s coupons and $1/2 printable coupons on Target.com. If you have the .75/2 manufacturer’s coupon it ends up being .80/jar and if you have the $1/3 it will be .84/jar.

CVS

This week there’s nothing that really stands out at CVS for me, but if you use Pampers, this is a good deal:

Buy 2 Pampers jumbo packs (2/$20)

Use 2 $1.50/1 Pampers manufacturers coupons
(Use any ECBs you have)
Spend $17, get $5 (so it’s like paying $12 for 2 packages of diapers)

Crest Pro Health toothpaste – $3.49 (this is a monthly deal and the limit is believed to be 4), earn $3.49 ECB
Get a $1 coupon here: https://cphwt.safeprocessing.com/?src=crest_CDP
There were .75/1 coupons in today’s paper and $1/2 coupons in today’s paper, so this is a “moneymaker” with the coupons AND there are mail in rebate forms on tear pads in some grocery stores, so look for displays at your grocery stores!

Sambucol – $12.99, get $10 ECB – this is not listed in the weekly ad, but is a monthly deal and is worth checking out. This is an herbal supplement to give your immune system a boost and is safe to use with kids ages 2 and up. They had this deal last year also and we stocked up. It works great!

WALGREENS

It’s a pretty slow week at Walgreens also, but there are a few good deals:

Schick Quattro disposable razors – $5.99 – FREE
Buy 2 packages. Use BOGO manufacturer’s coupon from 10/19 SS insert and $3 Easysaver coupon. Give the manufacturer’s coupon FIRST and then the Easysaver coupon. You will have .01 overage, so make sure you have other items to cover the overage

Glade Wisp candle – $5.99
Use $3/1 coupon from today’s inserts. There is a $2 MIR in the Easysaver catalog. This makes them .99

There are also reportedly $5 peelie coupons on some candles. If you find one of these, you make $.99 after the rebate

NyQuil/DayQuil Liquicaps – $4.49/each

Buy 3, Use 3 $1.50/1 coupons from 10/12 P&G insert
Spend $8.97, get $6 RR

BATH AND BODY WORKS – freebies

http://www2.victoriassecret.com/collection/?cgname=OSPTYCOTZZZ&cgnbr=OSPTYCOTZZZ&rfnbr=1937

Add something else that is $2.50 or more (because when the three above items are added to the cart, it will end up being $47.50.) If you go under Sale/Specials and then Accessories, there are several things there under $5, $2.99 or $3.99 sale panties, sale tops that are as low as $5.99, or under the Sale/beauty.

http://www2.victoriassecret.com/landing/?cgnbr=OSSALZZZZZZ

**Alternate deal: if you want to avoid having a filler item, pick from the 2 for $44 bras. (You will just have four items instead of five – but they will be the higher priced bras.)http://www2.victoriassecret.com/collection/?cgname=OSBRPFORZZZ&cgnbr=OSBRPFORZZZ&rfnbr=5157

Checkout. Make sure to check the box that you have promo codes. You can add three codes.

Add: FA814857 for free messenger bag on $50+

FA813789 for $10 off any bra

25PTY for $25 off any two full priced bras and free cotton panty.

Depending on what you added for a filler, your total should be somewhere around $20 shipped. Would have been at least $65ish, depending on the original price of your filler item! (plus freebie which they say is worth $50)

GLADE SCENTED OIL CANDLES DEAL AT TARGET

Here’s what you do to get four FREE candles in Apple Cinnamon, Gingerbread or Glistening Snow scents:

Buy 4 Glade holiday candles at $2.50 each

Use 2 BOGO Glade coupons from the Glade.com

Get back a $5 Target gift card

Spend $5, Receive $5!

The deal is good through 12/15

(In some areas, you have to buy an In Style magazine as well, so check the card by the candles to read the details. This is reportedly working on the candles as well as the refills as long as it is a “Glade holiday product.”)

***You can only get the gift card once per transaction.
