My Rite-Aid/Walgreens Run

Here's what I picked up today:

Walgreens -

3 16-packs of Duracell batteries (used 2 .50 MQ, will submit receipt for $9 in EasySaver rebates)

2 Pledge products (They let me use my BOGO MQ and a $2 MQ, plus I'll send in for $2 ES rebate)

2 Mr. Clean Magic Erasers (used 2 .50 MQ from the coupon booklet that P&G mailed me)

3 Clearance .25 videos (I needed cheap fillers so that I would have more items than coupons)

Paid with $15 in diaper RRs and then put the new total of $18.94 on my gift card, so no oop and I got a $7 RR and will get $11 in ES rebates! Total savings = $47.93!

Rite-Aid -

2 Herbal Essences conditioners (used $3/2 P&G Q and will get $2 Single Check Rebate). Plus, these are the free mani/pedi packages!!!

2 Oral-B cross action toothbrushes (used BOGO Q and $1 Q and will get $4 SCR)

1 Crest toothpaste with free floss and toothpaste (used .75 Q and will get $1.74 SCR)

1 Infusium 23 conditioner (used $3 Q and will get $1.99 SCR)

Total = 12.87, will get $9.73 back in rebates - so, $3.24 total and I get another free pedicure!!!!

If I would have paid full price for all of this (yeah right!) it would have come to $89.71!!!

Lypsyl is free after SCR

Lots of good free stuff this week!

Oh, I got a good tip from Coupon Cravings - go to mycokerewards.com, login, and then search for coke zero rewards. One of the rewards is a free 20 oz. Coke Zero!

P&G Coupons Tomorrow!

Just a reminder to get the Sunday paper this weekend, since it is P&G insert week. The Qs will work well with the upcoming deals at Walgreens and Rite Aid this week!!! Can you say free Herbal Essences - yes! I might pick up a few extra papers just to have some fun...

Walgreens Diaper Deal Works!

I went to Walgreens on my way to the George Michael concert last night (yep, I know you're jealous - it was phenomenal!) and the diaper deal really works! I did it twice because I had 2 RRs to use up. It really does work out to $4.47 + tax and you will get a $5 RR! I also took advantage of the BOGO Sure deodorant (which is a mail-in form, not a Q). I used 2 - $1 MQ and the $3 ESQ (EasySaver Coupon) and I just put the stamp on my BOGO rebate, so I should make $2 on my 2 deodorants. I also asked for my Qs back from the diaper deal and they gave them back to me. The Asst. Manager came over and asked how I did it so that he could tell his wife!

Some things to be aware of with the diaper deal:

1. I was not able to get the Qs to scan on the diapers that were marked 'W', they have to say 'Walgreens'. I think they are trying to phase out the older packaging.
2. The limits on the Qs do not matter, so you should be doing 3 per transaction with no problem. Don't be a meanie and do this deal so many times that everyone else misses out though!
3. You can mix and match sizes and diapers/training pants, but they need to be the Jumbo size packages (they are $5.99 this week).
4. Remember that you can't roll your RRs on the same deal so if you use your $5 RR from this deal to do it again, you won't get a new RR.
   

Supermarket Deals 7/2

So glad that I made it to Albertsons yesterday! After checking out the upcoming ads, I almost went one more time! This week looks pretty lame. No fun promos :(

Albertsons:

Buy 2 refrigerated Jell-O products (2/$6) and get a free Cool Whip aerosol. Chances are you can't use the $1 Cool Whip Q, since it's already free and my store was totally cleaned out of these anyway. There are Qs from the last insert for the Jell-O.

Ball Park beef franks are BOGO and you get free Sara Lee Hot Dog buns. Click here for Ball Park coupons.

Tillamook Ice Cream is 2/$6. I love Tillamook because their cows aren't treated with hormones.

Goldfish crackers are $1

Free 1/2 lb. of Service Deli cheese when you buy 1 lb. or more of Sara Lee sliced meat from the Service Deli

Wish-Bone dressing are 2/$4, use this $1 Q.

Finally Made it to Albies

I really wanted to get to Albertsons to take advantage of the Kraft deal and the Baby Care deal before they expired. Here's how I did:

1 Pampers diapers (used $3 cat. Q and $5/2 Target Q)
1 Pampers wipes (used $5/2 Target Q and .75 cat. Q)
5 Gerbers puffs (used $1/3 cat. Q and .75/2 cat. Q)
3 Planters nuts (used 3 - $3 Q)
3 Jell-O puddings (used .50/3 tearpad Q)
3 Marshmallows (used $1 MQ)
1 Nilla Wafers (used $1 tearpad Q)
4 Pearl Soymilk (no Qs, we just use the stuff and they're on sale for $1)
2 Digiornio for one pizzas (used 2 - $1 MQ)
1 Wild Harvest organic milk (used $1 MQ)
1 Aquafresh (used $1.50 competitor cat. and $1 MQ = .50 overage)
3 organic bananas (for the baby!)
1 Huggies cleanteam wipes (these are super cheap, but I forgot my $1 Q!)
2 Cool-whips (they didn't have the aerosol ones :(, but I used a tearpad Q that I found by the bananas to get 1 free)

This is the first time that I've had trouble getting the automatic $5 to come off, but the cashier had to actually punch it through. Weird. I put all my Kraft stuff first and my total (no tax) was $20.50, so I don't know what's up. I also rolled my $5 Baby Care cat.

My total oop: $23.61
Total savings: $65.21

Received $12 in Catalina Qs for my next trip, so really this trip cost: $11.61!!! Nice!

Are You Ready For Some Target Fun?

Here are the 2 winners of the $5/3 Target coupons: Erin and Kate! Please email me your address Erin. Kate, I've already got yours (perfect timing)! Please report back about what you picked up. The coupons are good until 7/31! I am so excited to go and use mine on some Band-aids and Buddies soap...I love overage! Ohh, and those BOGO Stayfree Qs that were in last week's insert. Hmm...
