Daily in store deals for 12/23/08

December 23, 2008 by

Kroger: Huggies diapers/Pull Ups are on sale this week (through Tuesday in my stores, YMMV depending on how your ad runs) for $9.99/each. When you use your card, you get an instant $3 off (through 12/23). There are $1 and $1.50 manufacturer’s coupons out there from the inserts and home mailers and $2 Pull Ups coupons (printable, inserts, and mailers). There are also coupons that you can load onto your Kroger card for $1.50 and $1 off at Cellfire.com and Shortcuts.com. I think the cheapest way to do this is to buy 2 packages of Huggies diapers (one regular/one Supreme). Use the $1 off manufacturer’s coupons if you have them. The $1.50 and $1 will come off from Cellfire and Shortcuts. The $3 will come off instantly. If you have all the coupons, it should be $11.48 for 2 packages. If you have receipts for at least 5 packages, you can send in for the rebate from Caregivers making it $9.48 for 2 packages (or $4.74/package). **You can only do this deal two times per transaction.** If you are doing this deal, there are $2/2 coupons you can print from the blue banners at the top and on the sidebar of the blog.

Philadelphia cream cheese is reportedly on sale 10/$10 in some areas. There is a $1/2 printable coupon you can use to get 2 packages of cream cheese for $1. Here’s the link.

You can also get free Cottonelle toilet paper with the coupons from Cellfire and Shortcuts along with your manufacturer’s coupons and free Colgate Total toothpaste with the $1.50 Cellfire coupon and your printable $1.50 coupons.

Gymboree Outlet and Gymboree stores – Save up to 60% off on marked down items during their Semi-annual sale.

Old Navy has their performance fleece blankets as a door buster for $3 today. The blankets come in a number of colors and are normally $10/each. You can access the details here.

Toys ‘R Us in store deals of the day (if you’re brave enough to brave thst store today!). Print the coupons here.
*Save $100 on a battery operated purple ride on – $249.99 w/ coupon (regularly $349.99)
*Save 30% on Glitter Suite dollhouse ($90.99 w/ coupon, was $129.99)
*25% off all GPS units – $112.49-299.99
*Save $105 on Cars or Disney Princess 20 piece playroom sets – $49.99 each, regularly $154.99
*Save $30 on hot wheels 14″ bike – $69.99, was $99.99
*50% off Wii Mario and Sonic at the olympics – $24.99, was $8.99.

WALGREENS ENERGIZER CHARGER
In case you missed it last week, it is still on sale for $7.99 (through 12/27). If you have a $5 RR and use the $1 coupon, you only pay $1.99 OOP (well, a little more because you will have to have a filler to use both coupons). Some people are reporting they have found $2 peelies on them. There is a $5 Easysaver rebate this month (#20, I believe) and the $5 manufacturer’s rebate, so it ends up being an $8.01 moneymaker if you have the coupons I mentioned. You can see a picture of it here on my blog.

More Savings Monday: Planning ahead – coupons you need!

December 21, 2008 by

There are no coupons in this week’s paper and there will not be coupons next week, either. Use this time to organize your coupons and to prepare for upcoming deals.

Here’s a few coupons you might want to get your hands on for upcoming deals:

*Nature’s Bounty – it will be BOGO the week of 12/28 and you earn $3 ECB when you buy 2. There is a $2 printable here and a $1 printable from the blue coupons.com link on my sidebar. You should be able to print 2 of each. When I looked online to check out prices, there are a few that are priced at $4.99, so this could be a nice deal.

*Tide – there were $1/1 coupons in the 11/30 and 12/14 P&G inserts. It will be on sale for $5.88 next week, which isn’t that great of a deal, but if you have a CVS $/$ coupon and combine it with that, it could be nice and then it could go toward the spend $50, get a $120 coupon booklet deal that P&G is offering. You can find the details here.

*Dawn will be BOGO next week (PSA $1.49). There were .50 off coupons in the 12/14 P&G inserts. If you use 2, you spend .49 for two bottles of dish detergent.

*Bayer 2 or Contour meter – up to $30 off – These will be on sale the week of 12/28 for $14.99 and you earn a $5 ECB when you buy one. So, if you have the coupon it’s an easy $5 moneymaker. There were coupons in the 6/1 SS and the 10/26 RP inserts.

*Revlon $1/1 or $2/1 coupons – there are several of these from various inserts. There will be three Revlon products that will be free after rebate at Walgreens during January.

*Garnier Fructis Styling Aid, Shampoo, or Conditoner Sale- will be free after manufacturer’s coupon ($1/1) and $2 Easysaver coupon. They were in the 11/9 RP, 10/5 RP, 9/14 RP and 6/22 RP

Print the coupon for Throat Cooler supplements here. They will be free after ECBs at CVS next month, so if you use the BOGO coupon, you spend $4.99, but get $9.98 back.
