OFFICE MAX:
24 count crayons and pocket portfolios for a penny!

Lots of items for buy 2, get the third for a penny: Crayola crayons/markers/colored pencils, Bic pens/mechanical pencils/markers/correction tape, Sharpie markers/highlighters, Expo dry erase markers
TARGET: I have gotten incredibly cheap now that I have a stockpile of things from Walgreens and CVS, so I don’t see any “screaming” deals that I am going to run out for.

The Pop Tarts that I mentioned last week would still be a good deal (pricing may vary, but at my store, they are $1.79. With the $1/2 manufacturer’s coupons and the .50/1 Target printables, they end up being .79/each) If you have multiple manufacturer’s coupons, you could buy 10 and do the Kellogg’s mail in rebate for $10 and make $2.10 buying Pop Tarts.

All of the kid/adult underwear and socks are on sale, so now is a good time to stock up on those if you need them.

There are Back to School t-shirts for $4, polos for $5, and jeans for $7.

They have lots of storage bins and storage pieces on sale ($3.78-14.99)

You can get a $5 Target card when you buy Viva paper towels (priced at $14), Scott toilet paper (priced at $14), a box of Huggies diapers (priced at $18.99), or Cottonelle toilet paper (priced at $13)

Target partyware is 2/$5 and there is a $3/15 coupon on afullcup.com, so if you need paper plates and plastic cups, it’s not a bad deal.

WALGREENS:

*Dawn dish soap – 99 cents with in ad coupon – use your .50/1 P&G coupon for .49 dish soap

*Edy’s/Dreyer’s ice cream – 2/$5 (not too bad, and better if you have coupons)

*Power Ade – 89 cents – use your $1/1 coupons if you still have them

*Ball Park franks – 2/$4 (use your $1/2 coupon)

*Peter Pan peanut butter – 3/$5 – use your $1/1 from All You magazine = .66 peanut butter!

*Trident Xtra Care – .99 – there were coupons for .75/1 recently

*Reynold’s Wrap – .89 – there are coupons out there for $1/1, .75/1, .55/1 and $1/2 – makes for cheap or free foil!

*Glade scented oil warmer – $4.79 (BOGO store deal) – use the $4/1 Glade coupon and then send in the MIR for $2 for each one. Make $3.21!

*Huggies – $9.49, get $2 RR (use $1/1 coupon) – don’t forget to save your receipt to submit to Caregivers!

**Don’t forget to submit your August EasySaver Rebate receipts! There are “double dip” days this week (8/29 and 8/30). I have never done this before, but the details can be found here:

http://www.hotcouponworld.com/forums/walgreens/145839-aug-sept-esr-double-dips-aug-29-30-only.html

**If you haven’t gotten your Kellogg’s rebate yet, the RR are still printing through 8/30. There are still cereals on sale 4/$10 and Pop Tarts, Rice Krispie treats, etc. on sale 2/$4. You get a $5 RR when you spend $10.

Many stores also have their Walgreens diapers marked down to $5.99 (they are reported to be in a red and white package). Use the $5/2 coupon in the Easy Saver catalog and get diapers for $2.99/each. I haven’t tried these personally, but people on message boards I visit have reported that they like them.

This week’s bargains (8/17-8/23)

August 16, 2008 by

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:
http://iheartcvs.com/2008/08/817-823-weekly-ecb-deals-preview.html

*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)

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 🙂

The week in pictures

August 16, 2008 by

I wanted to share pictures from my CVS and Walgreens trips this week because I know that sometimes a visual helps!

Here’s what I got at CVS this week: (not pictured is the milk, the 4th Lamisilk and the 2nd Alavert because we’re already using them). I used ECBs and paid $.98 OOP (basically because I would have lost ECBs or hadto buy extra stuff to cover a bigger ECBs otherwise). I spend $52.90 in ECBs and earned $46, so I lost about $7 in ECBs, but it was worth it to get free diapers! Plus, I’ll mail in my receipts from the diapers to Caregivers and get $6 back.
Here’s why I love CVS so much:
Card #1:
YTD savings: $3494.45
Spending: $72.80
(We buy basics like milk and stamps at CVS and also fill all of our prescriptions here because the out of pocket goes toward your 2% quarterly ECBS):
Card #2:
YTD savings: $2816.85
Spending: $138.89
(From what I can figure out, the way that CVS calculates the YTD savings includes what you saved by shopping sale prices, plus your coupon and ECB redemptions)

Here’s what I got for $.99 at Walgreens this week. I also got a catalina for two free movie tickets for buying the Axe body wash and I will get a $2 rebate from Walgreens for buying the Glade Plug-in.

I used a $4 Glade coupon, a .75 Lysol coupon, a $1/2 Bic coupon, a $3 Bic razor coupon, the $2 Bic coupon from the Walgreens Easysaver catalog, the in ad coupon for $.89 Kleenex from the Walgreens ad, a $.50/3 Kleenex coupon, and $21 in Register Rewards from last week.
