It's A Lean Week For Deals

I may be skipping most shopping this week, since there is not a lot that I'm super excited about. Here's what I see:

Walgreens:

• Band-Aids are .99, so if you use the $1/1 coupons from last week's paper = free. SmartSource just put up some .75/1 coupons so then they are only .24. I will probably be getting my free band-aids at Albertsons since they are $1 there (until Tuesday) and thus, the cashiers don't have to adjust the coupon. If the coupon beeps and your cashier won't take the coupon because it is over the price of the item, your best bet is to ask the cashier to adjust the Band-aid price to $1, then scan the coupon.
• Hershey's Chocolate is 2/$3, so if you can find some of the movie tix bags, this is an okay deal. 3 bags = 1 movie tix, so your best bet is probably to buy 6 bags and get 2 tix.
• Reynolds Wrap is .89 and there are coupons out there for .55/1
• Nivea Men skincare is 2/$10 w/ a $5 RR, here is the link to $1/1 coupons
• Buy $10, get $2 RR or Buy $15, get $5 RR when you buy Dove lotion, hair and skin care, deodorant, soap, Walgreens sun care or sunscreen, Jergens Natural Glow, etc. There are lots of coupons for Dove and Jergens from the last few papers, but nothing is jumping out at me for an amazing deal!
• This may be a good one: Samy Hair Care - buy 2, get $5 in RR. There are $2 from a super old paper (I don't have these), but there are also coupons for $2/1 in the Beauty the RITE Way booklet at Rite Aid. The coupons say manuf. coupons, so you could potentially use them at Walgreens. Then, with coupons, you would spend $3.98 for $5 in RR.
• If you need insoles - Dr. Scholl's Insoles are 2/$20, then you get $10 RR. Here's a $2 off coupon for the massaging gel kind.
• Here are the June FAR items - pretty random.

Again, nothing that I'm racing out to get.

Rite-Aid:

• Grab the $30 prescription Gift Card coupon
• Free Bonine for Kids after rebate
• Free Monistat Soothing Care after rebate ($2 coupon when you sign up for myriteaid.com and $2 manu coupon here = $4 profit)
• Free Itch X Lotion after rebate
• Free M Professional Hair Care for Men after rebate (3-Day rebate)
• .99 Sally Hansen Nail stuff after $1 rebate ($1 coupon when you sign up for myriteaid.com = free)
• .99 Right Guard/Dry Idea deodorant after $5 rebate (there are coupons out there to make this free)

I will be heading there to double dip on a rebate:

• Tums Quik Pak is free after Rite Aid rebate, then send in for this rebate as well. Also, there are coupons for this out there - here is a $2.25 coupon = lots of profit!

Thanks Sisterly Savings for some coupon links that I wasn't aware of.

Michaels:

A great post by Mommy Making Money started me thinking about cheap birthday gift ideas and I love the caddies, cases and bubble totes that Michaels has on sale this week for $1.99-$2.99. They would be super easy to decorate and fill with art supplies, baby stuff, or small toys. Cheaper than a gift bag in some cases and totally cute!
