Daily In store deals for 12/20/08 – So many deals, so little time!

December 20, 2008 by
If you can work some shopping into your busy last weekend before Christmas schedule, there are some great deals today.

I found this one on FW:


Toys ‘R Us has a number of doorbusters as a part of their two day sale. Shop 6 am-1 pm today to get these deals. One of the things that they are offering is the Disney Tinkerbell movie for $9.99. There is a $3 printable coupon here, so you can get the movie for $6.99. If you have the Toys ‘R Us ad, you can also try price matching at Walmart if your store is out of stock.
You can view the full ad here. Here are a few more highlights:
*50% of all Guitar Hero Aerosmith bundles ($39.99-$44.99)
*BOGO free – all Darla dolls & accessories
*50% off all Furreal newborns – $6.99 each
*Fisher Price blue or pink medical kit – $6.99 each
*Leap Frog Fridge Talk Magnetic Word Play recorder

Gap Outlet: They will be having a huge sale starting today with 60% off original prices.

Gymboree Outlet: All sweaters will be $12.99. All microfleece will be 50% off.

Hallmark: Get three .99 cards for $1 using this printable coupon here.

Kroger: Huggies diapers/Pull Ups are on sale this week 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, be sure to print your $2/2 coupons from the blue coupon links at the top of the blog or on the sidebar.

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.

Target:
All good things must come to an end, and unfortunately, some of our favorites will be expiring today. Shop early if you want to find some of this stuff in stock. You can print these using the coupon generator on HCW.

Here are a few of the good ones that will be expiring:
*$2/1 Archer Farms ham – use to purchase the ham steaks which are ranging in price from about $2.02-$2.50 (so they will be .02 to .50/each after the coupon)
*$1/1 Fresh Cauliflower or Broccoli – Broccoli is on sale 3/$4 this week which makes it .33 each after the coupon
*$1/2 Kellogg’s Pop Tarts – YMMV, but the boxes of these are $1.78 in my stores. Combine this coupon with the $1/2 manufacturer’s coupons that are out there and you pay .78/box of Pop Tarts
*$1/2 Pillsbury refrigerated baked goods – There are biscuits in a green package (you can view them here) that are priced at $1.07 at my stores. If you buy 6 of these and use 3 $1/2 printables combined with the .75/3 manufacturer’s coupon (blinkie), you will pay .32/can. If you don’t have the printables and buy 2, it’s .57/can which still isn’t a bad deal. My stores have also had a number of the ready to bake cookies on sale 2/$4. There are $1.50/2 blinkie coupons, so you pay $1.50 for two packages of ready to bake cookie dough.
*$1/2 Quaker cereal – Life has been on sale 2/$4 at my stores. Combine this with a $1/2 manufacturer’s coupon and pay $1/box (this definitely isn’t the best price ever for cereal, but if you like Life, it’s not a bad deal).

Keep an eye out for the Rayovac alkaline batteries in your $1 spot. Use the printable coupon here to get free batteries.

Walgreens 2 day doorbuster deals: (this ends today)

*Webkinz Lil’ Kinz pets – BOGO (priced at $6.99)

*Buy 2, get 2 free – kids toys (priced at $6.99/each)

*Buy 1 @ $6.99, get 2 free – Cafe Gel candle (11 oz) or Patriot Candles Mini Reed Diffuser

*50% off Mens’ Razor or Groomer (Remington Code or Titanium 6 in 1 grooming kit)

*50% off Sale W photo SD memory card (1 to 4 GB)

*50% off outdoor lighted Christmas decorations, light sets, and trees

*50% off digital photo frames (3.5 inch = $29.99, 7 inch = $39.99) – There is a HOT deal on the digital photo frames. This one was posted by Jen (**Kooopons**) on the BBC board.

Both of these frames are eligible for the $20 Easysaver rebate this month. You can get both frames for $29.98 after rebate (or $25.98.99 if you do the rebate on a Walgreens gift card with the bonus 10% back). If you only buy one, the 7 inch will be $19.99 after rebate and the 3.5 inch will be $9.99 after rebate). If you haven’t done the Easysaver rebates before, it is super easy because it is all online. Basically, you just have to enter your receipt and enter the # in.

*Red Baron pizza – 2/$5

*A&W, 7 Up, Sunkist, Canada Dry, or Hawaiian Punch – .79

*Spend $10 on Hallmark cards, get a $5 RR

Here are a few highlights from the regularly weekly ad:
Olay Deal – Olay Regenerist products are buy one, get one 50% off this week. The Olay Regenerist cleanser is $7.49. So, buy 2 and your total will be $11.24. There was a $5 off coupon in Sunday’s P&G insert. After this coupon, it will be $6.24. Use a $5 RR to pay (if you have one) or just pay the $6.24. There is a mail in rebate from Olay for a $15 gift card when you buy 2 Regenerist products. Here’s the link.
(ETA: Apparently the shelf tags say “prices start at $9.99” but the ad does not specify this, so if you have issues, just show them the ad)

From the 4 day sale ad (12/17-12/20):
Spend $15, get $5 RR
Triscuit 2/$6
Wheat Thins 2/$6
Ritz 2/$6
Capri Sun 2/$6
Oscar Meyer Bacon 2/$6
kraft american singles 2/$5
oscar meyer cooked ham 2/$5
deli shaved roasted turkey 2/$5
vitamin water 20 oz 5/$5
fuze 18.5 oz 5/$5
powerade 32 oz 5/$5

There are $1/2 printable coupons for use on Nabisco crackers here.

Buy 5 boxes of Triscuits, Wheat Thins, or Ritz and use 2 $1/2 printables. Spend $13 (or $8 if you are rolling one of your holiday RR into this deal) and get a $5 RR back.

Other deals:
The DeMet’s turtles are on sale for $.99 and there is a $1.50/1 coupon from the 11/16 SS insert. You have to buy more than one box to use the coupon or it beeps. So, buy 2 boxes and pay .48. Buy 8, use 5 coupons, and pay .42. Buy 11, use 7 coupons, and pay .39.

I am also doing these deals:
Buy Tide – $12.99 (use $1 coupon from this week’s inserts)
Buy DeMet’s Turtles – $.99 (use $1.50/1 DeMets coupon)
Buy Butterball chicken broth – .50

Use 2 $5 RR (one from Holiday deals, one from Gatorade purchase)
Spend $1.98, get $2 RR

Buy 2 Oral B stages toothpaste – 2/$4
Use $1/2 Oral B stages coupon
use $2 RR from Tide
Spend $1, get $2 RR

I found this on the Common Sense blog:

FREE Energizer Rechargeable charger – It is on sale for $7.99 this week. There is a $5 Easysaver rebate. There is also a $5 MIR from the manufacturer. Now that the Walgreens Easysaver rebates are online, you can enter the receipt and then submit the original receipt for the manufacturer’s rebate. There were also $1 off coupons in the 12/14 SS inserts. If you use one of your $5 Holiday RR to pay for it, it ends up being an $8.01 moneymaker! It is a $3.01 moneymaker without the Holiday RR and a $2.01 moneymaker without the manufacturer’s coupon.

Thrifty Thursday: Christmas on a Budget

December 19, 2008 by

Each year, I start budgeting for Christmas in January. This enables me to buy things throughout the year when they go on sale. I was a little stressed this year because I really hadn’t come across many exciting deals, but then the Amazon deals came along and I made up for lost time.

I am still receiving boxes. I don’t think I will give the kids all of this for Christmas (I will probably put some of it away for their birthdays), but I just wanted to share that a little bit can go a LONG way and you don’t have to spend a lot of money for Christmas. I actually came in under budget for Christmas this year and will have money to start out my Christmas fund for next year.

Total OOP: $113.78 (before rebates), $108.79 after rebates
Total retail value: $380.78

Disney Bike – Total OOP was $6 exactly, regularly $79.99. On sale for $20 off at Toys ‘R us. Used 20% off coupon. Used $10 off Toys ‘R Us gift card. Used $30 Toys ‘R Us gift card (did a prescription transfer @ Randalls and got it for free).

My CVS trip for the week. I went in with the intention of buying just the Contour monitors. They are on sale for $14.99 this week and you earn a $5 ECB. I have a coupon good for up to $30 off. So, the cashier scanned my monitor and then my coupon and told me I needed $15 more in merchandise. This is NOT supposed to happen and I TOLD the cashier that she was supposed to adjust the coupon down, but she insisted she couldn’t. So, I ended up with all of these for some change OOP and earned $15.99 in ECBs.

My Walgreens trip. I lost count of how many Turtles I purchased. They are on sale for $.99 this week and there are $1.50/1 coupons. I bought them in sets of 11, used 7 coupons (you can’t use one coupon per item because then it beeps because of the overage), and paid .39/each. I went to different stores and did not clear shelves (there were still plenty left). I even shared leftover coupons with the cashiers!
