Where Every Penny Counts
I got this coupon in my e-mail and thought I’d share. It’s good for $5 off a $20 purchase:
http://www.walgreens.com/hotbuys/default.jsp?ec=hn579_getcoupon
Here’s the fine print:
Valid in Walgreens stores on Friday, August 22 and Saturday, August 23, only during regular store hours. Excludes alcohol, tobacco, prescriptions, prescription copays, gift cards, pre-paid cards, and items prohibited by law. Purchase amount of $20 or more must be before taxes and after coupons and discounts. Limit one coupon per customer.
There are also coupons for 39 cent Papermate pens and mechanical pencils, 39 cent erasers, a 39 cent writing tablet, and 39 cent Sharpies.
There are lots of “free after rebate” items in the Easysaver catalog this month so you could get money back. They also do refills on ink cartridges – $10 for black and $15 for color.
The weekly Walgreens deals are in this thread here:
http://melziemomsbargains.blogspot.com/2008/08/this-weeks-bargains-817-823.html
I will probably do this:
Buy 6 Skippy peanut butter – $10 (get $4 RR)
Buy Dixie paper plates (BOGO) – $3.79
Buy 2 Pert Plus – $3.79 (free after rebate on one)
Buy 3 Papermate pencils/pens – $1.17 (.39/each)
Buy 3 Sharpies – $1.17 (.39/each)
Buy 3 writing tablets – $1.17 (.39/each)
Buy 2 Bic products – spend at least $3.12 (these are “fillers”)
Use:
3 $1/2 Skippy coupons
2 $2 off Pert Plus coupons
Walgreens in ad coupons for Papermate, Sharpies, writing tablets
$1/2 Bic products
$5/20 Walgreens coupon
Spend $15, get $4 RR, $3.79 Walgreens rebate, and $5 rebate for the ‘school supplies’ from Pert
Total OOP after RR and rebates ~ $2.21!
A link to this blog post was posted on a message board I frequent. If you’re new to couponing, a lot of this might not make sense (and it might even scare you away). If you’ve been couponing for awhile, you’ll laugh the whole time because you know that it’s all true!

(For the record, I haven’t stooped to buying Joint Juice just yet, but I did buy Just for Men Touch of Gray hair color once – no….my husband doesn’t have a hint of gray hair, but it was free after ECBs, plus there was a rebate….I just couldn’t help myself….I have since reformed my ways…)
Here are the bargains for this week: (It’s kind of a slow week from what I’m seeing so far, which is kind of a relief for me because between going back to work last week and all of the deals, I’m burned out!)
CVS: (not many ECB, but some BOGO free deals)
**My ad scans this week came from here:

*Buy Ascensia Contour system ($19.99) and Colgate Total Whitening Toothpaste with free toothbrush, get $5. (not a bad deal if you have the $30 Contour coupon, a $1.50 Colgate coupon, and use the $2/10…it ends up being a free $5)
*Buy Oral B indicator toothbrush or Crest toothpaste at $1.99, get $1 ECB. There are .75/1 and $1/2 coupons for the Crest in the August P&G insert.

If you sign up for their mailing list on their website, you will also get an e-mail with a printable coupon and a code for online use. The Halloween costumes will be in the stores this week!
KROGER:
Deals through 8/19 are here:
http://melziemomsbargains.blogspot.com/2008/08/kroger-deals-week-of-813-819.html
OFFICE MAX: I LOVE back to school sales! I don’t even have school-aged kids (other than preschool, where supplies are pretty much provided), but with young kids, crayons and notebooks always come in handy, so I stock up for the year!
*Bic pens are .25 – there is a $1/2 coupon that was in the paper a few weeks ago. If you use it, you will get .50 “overage”
*Elmer’s glue for a penny!
*Spiral notebooks – 10 cents each
*Crayola crayons, 24 ct. – 20 cents each
TARGET:
They have new printable coupons on their site which can be found here:
http://sites.target.com/site/en/supertarget/page.jsp?title=coupons_specials
There is a .50/1 Pop Tarts coupon. This can be combined with the $1/2 manufacturer’s coupon that was in the inserts a few weeks ago. In my area, the Pop Tarts are $1.79, so if you use both coupons, it ends up being $.79/box. Buy 10 and send in the Kellogg’s rebate if you haven’t done so yet and you will make $2.10 🙂
Gold Fish Crackers are on sale 3/$4. There is a .50/1 Target printable coupon. (see link below) Print 3 and they end up being .83/each 🙂
