Wall-E for $1.99
Wall-E is on sale at Best Buy for $14.99 this week. Price match the ad at Wal-Mart where you will get a $5 gift card with Wall-E purchase. Use one $3 off Disney DVD coupon and print out a $5 mail-in rebate on the purchase of a Disney DVD + Minute Maid.
It goes a little something like this:
*Go to Wal-Mart with your Best Buy & Wal-Mart ad
*Pick up Wall-E & a 10 pack of Minute Maid Juice boxes.
*Check out and show them your Best Buy ad for price match
*Give the cashier your $3 off Disney DVD coupon
*After (or possibly during the transaction) the cashier will be prompted to give you a gift card
*Go home and mail in your rebate before you lose your receipt!
$19.99 for Wall-E
-$5 for price match
-$3 for coupon
Out of pocket: $11.99 + Minute Maid
Gift Card Recieved: $5
Rebate Received: $5
Actual Cost: $1.99 + juice!!!
I did this Thursday and it worked like a charm!
Additionally, I believe I saw Prince Caspian and Sleeping Beauty in Wal-Mart for the $5 gift card promotion. You may print up to 10 of the $3 coupons and send in the rebate on up to four different movies. These movies are not on sale at Best Buy, but they might be at other stores. If you don't have a price match you'll still save $13 between the coupon, rebate, and gift card with purchase.

KMart Super Doubles, Say What???
Check out the ad here.
Click here to sign up for a $5 off $50 purchase. Give them this coupon FIRST if you have $50 worth of pruducts, THEN go for manufacturer coupons.
Here is a HUGE list of items available at KMart that have corresponding coupons thanks to afullcup.com
Rules:
No more than 75 coupons in one transaction
No overage :( if a coupons doubled value is more than the item cost, the amount will be adjusted to make it free
No Internet Coupons
Max four of the same item/coupon per transaction
Tips:
If you don't have a list you are working with and you are just bringing lots of coupons then I would suggest the following
1. Group all the same department coupons together. For Instance: Grocery, Pharmacy (OTC), Health and Beauty, Pet, Cleaning
2. Put your group into envelopes or baggies and label the front by the dept name.
3. Make an additional envelope that says "check out" and when you find the product, pull the coupon from the dept. envelope and place it in this one.
4. When checking out MAKE SURE the coupons are doubling. I'm not sure if the register does it automatically, or if the cashier has to do it...but make sure your getting doubled!
Isn't this exciting?! I think it will be hard to sit still through church tomorrow in anticipation of going to KMart!..it's still sounds weird saying that...I'm excited to go to KMart...

CVS through 11/30
Let's start off with a weird but profitable transaction. If you don't know what to give someone for Christmas, give them a gift card...or just use them yourself!
3 - $25 AMEX gift cards
3 - $3.95 activation fee
Out of Pocket: $86.85
ECB received: $10
Mail-In Rebate for gas card (less $.42 postage): $14.58
Profit: $13.15
Really your just paying money for more money - take your gift cards and buy yourself some groceries at Kroger or something...
More deals....
--Maybelline Mineral Liquid $8.99, free after $8.99 ECB
--Complete Contact Solution $8.99, free after $8.99 ECB, $1 coupon from newspaper = $1 profit
--Crest Pro-Health Whitening $3.49 (monthly deal), free after $3.49 ECB, use newspaper coupons ($.75?) for profit!
Also, I love Viva paper towels, so I will be using some of my "profit" to buy them this week. They are $7.49 with a $2 ECB. There are $.50 newspaper coupons out there which would make them about $.62 per roll!
Friday, November 21, 2008
CVS Black Friday...well Thursday
I am a freak though and I actually bought MORE CVS coupons off EBay. Yikes, hopefully they'll get here in time!
Also, if you have not kept up with your coupons and would like someone to mail you exactly what you want, here are some great websites: The Coupon Clippers, Coupons & Things by Dede or The Coupon Master. I have to admit I haven't bought coupons from these websites because I usually get what I need from the newspaper every week, but from what I've heard the coupons are about 10% of the coupon value ($.10 for a $1 coupon) and they ship super fast...so you could get what you want by BF! You may also buy manufacturer coupons on EBAY, I DID do that once for a deal at Walgreens (the coupons were REALLY popular so the three sites I listed above were already out).

It's a great week for sales! I am posting as early as possible this week, because you'll probably want to get out there soon before everything is gone (i.e. I did not have good luck at CVS last night, but hopefully they will restock!)
Sun/Mon Only
The rest of the week still looks great:
- Powerade 32 oz. $1.69, free after ECB (use $1 or $.75 coupon for profit!)
- Butler (GUM) toothbrush 2 pack $3.99, free after ECB
- Touch of Gray $8.29, $7.71 profit after ECB & Mail in Rebate, does your dad need it?
- Excedrin Express Gels 20 ct $1.99, free after Printable Coupon and profit after mail in rebate from 10/19 paper!
- CVS bar soap (singles) $.99, free after ECB
- Colgate Maxfresh toothbrush/paste $2.99, free after ECB & $1 Maxfresh coupon
If you buy (find) everything and use all the coupons and mail in rebates you will profit $10.71.
There is also a good baby deal this week. Buy $25 in Huggies/Johnsons etc. get $10ECB. Coupons available, $2, $1.50 & $1 off Huggies/Pullups diapers, $.50 off Huggies wipes, $1 off Johnson's Bedtime products, $2 off Johnson's 2-in-1 Shampoo, $2 off 2 No More Tangles, $1 off Johnson's Lotion/Oil, $1 off Johnson's Lotion, click HERE for even more!

Meijer - no sales or newspaper coupons needed
- Taco Bell Dinner Kit or Salsa $1.50 off. The picture on the coupon is for 12 hard tacos which are around $1.30 and the salsa is $1.85. So you can make a profit of $.20 or pay $.15 for salsa!
- Breakstones Cottage Cheese $2 off any 2. Those cute little Breakstones cottage cheese with the fruit on the side are $3 for 3, i.e. free.
- Jell-O gelatin or pudding $1.50 off 2. Gelatin is $.64 for a profit of $.22! I forgot to look at pudding, but I would assume it's around the same price
Here are some mealbox (MB) & manufacturer coupon (MQ) combinations for which I do not know the cost of the product, but it's still got to be a good deal!:
- Skippy PB $1 off 2 MB, .40 (doubled) MQ
- Ziploc Zip & Steam $1 MB, .40 (doubled) MQ
- New York Garlic Bread/sticks $1 off 2 MB, .40 (doubled) MQ
- Farm Rich frozen snacks $1 off 2 MB, .75 or $1 printable MQ
- Kashi entree/pizza/waffles $1 off 2 MB, $2 printable MQ
- Birds Eye Veggies $1 off 2 MB, .35 (doubled) MQ or $1 off Voila printable
- Pepperidge Farm frozen bread $1 off 2 MB, $1 off 2 MQ
- Tyson Box/bag chicken $1 off 2, $1 off MQ
- Smucker's Uncrustables $1 off 2 MB, .75 MQ (they're still a little pricey though, you may want to wait for a sale)
And then there's a bunch of Meijer brand items that I'm sure are a good price when combined with a sale.
The fine print on each coupon says one per transaction, but I have a feeling if you go through the U-Scan you may run through as many as you want.

Walgreens and Robitissin
Robitussin & Dimetapp are $3.99 this week, and if you buy 3 of them you get $10 register rewards back.
Here is a $2 off Robitussin coupon & here is a $2 off Dimetapp coupon. Go through the registration process a few times (or more!) for a total of 3 coupons for each transaction.
It will look like this:
3 Robittusin/Dimetapp @ $3.99 = $11.97
minus 3 - $2 off coupons = $5.97 out of pocket (+ tax)
receive $10 Register Rewards for a profit of $4.03
Repeat...

Walgreens $5 off $20
It looks like they've changed the wording on this coupon to restrict all coupons after the use of the $5 off $20. So do your math and make sure after you use all your Wags coupons, Manufacturer coupons and register Rewards that your total is at least $20. In the end your max out of pocket should be about $15 and you can make that up in rebates...
Walgreens - Double Dip & (other great deals)
The Wags monthly EasySaver books are FULL of coupons and rebates. These books overlap for two days each month allowing for the use of two months coupons, two months rebates AND manufacturer coupons, i.e. double (or triple) dipping. I'm not going to lie, this event takes some preparation (depending on how much you want), but it can be well worth it! The September one should be in the store waiting for you, but sometimes they hold the October one back. However, you can print any and all of the coupons from their website: September October. If you want rebates items for September and October, just be sure to make two trips so that they are on two receipts.
There is going to be a of lot explaining for this one, so we'll abbreviate some words:
SQ=September Coupon
SR=September Rebate
OQ=October Coupon
OR=October Rebate
MQ=Manufacturer Coupon
MR=Manufacturer Rebate
IP = Internet Printable (Manufacturer) Coupon
These items are double dips with no rebates to worry about-you can buy them with September or October rebate items:
- Nutripals $4.79: $1 SQ, $1 OQ, $1 MQ = $1.79!
- Jergens Lotion $3.99: $1 SQ, $1 OQ, $1 MQ = .99
- KY Yours & Mine $19.99: $5 SQ, $5 OQ, $5 IP = $4.99
Register Rewards (use like cash on your next visit!)-you can buy these with September or October rebate items:
- 2 Ultra Clean Reach toothpaste or floss @ $2.50 = $5: get $5 RR = free, HOWEVER I haven't seen them in the 3 Walgreens I've walked through!
- Crest Pro-Health $4.49: get $4.50 RR = free
- 2 Oreos/Chips Ahoy @ $2.50 = $5: get $2 RR (you don't have to buy the milk as listed in the ad) = $1.50 each
September double dips then rebates:
- Pert Plus $3.79 (online rebate submission only): $3.79 SR, $2.50 OQ, $2 MQ = $4.50 profit
- 3 Garnier Fructis (the big ones) @ $6.99 = $20.97: $10 SR, $9 OQ (the $3 OQ will x 3), 3-$1 MQ = $1.03 profit
- 4 11-14 oz bags M&Ms @ $2.50 = $10: $5 SR, $2 OQ (the $1 off 2 will x 2) = $3
- Excedrin Express Gels $3.99: $3.99 SR, $2 MQ for PM = free or $2 profit
- Nivea for Men $4.99: $4.99 SR, $1 IP = $1 profit
- L'Oreal Revitalift $16.49: $16.49 SR, $1 MQ = $1 profit
- Crest Pro-Health $3.79: $3.79 SR, .75 MQ = .75 profit
- Chemistry Hair Care $7.99: $7.99 SR = free
- LypSyl Moistrurizer (with Chapsticks) $1.99: $1.99 SR = free
October Double Dips (you don't have to buy the non-double dip rebates):
- Glade Scented Oil $5.79: $2 SQ, $2 OR, $2 MQ=.21 profit
- 2 Oust Air Sanitizer @ $3.79=$7.98 : $2 SQ ($1 SQ will double), $2 OR (2-$1 rebates), $3.79 (BOGO) MQ, $1 MQ = .81 profit (wow, that was a lot of Q's!)
- Glade Fabric Spray $3.99: $1 SQ, $1 OR, $1.50 IP = .49
- 4 - 8-14.8 oz Hershey's Harvest Bag Candy @ $2= $8: $2 SQ ($1 off 2 will double), $5 OR=$1!!
WOW! Wasn't that fun! If you get EVERYTHING on the list you will make a profit of $1.60 (not counting tax and with the 10% gift card bonus). You are making a profit, but you will be spending quite a bit out of pocket due to rebates. If you submit online it just takes a couple of weeks to get the gift card back in the mail.

Walgreens - I think I'm a coupon snob
I know, you only have two days to get to Walgreens because I am posting so late. We were out of power for almost 5 days following the wind storm, so I am behind on quite a few things, including but not limited to dishes, making lunches, going to Walgreens, laundry, making dinners, going to CVS...anyway, this week has been a mess.
Nevertheless I made it to Walgreens this afternoon and came out pretty well for little preparation! And the title of this post - I think I'm a coupon snob - comes from the fact that I didn't buy toothpaste at Walgreens this afternoon because it wasn't free. I had a 75 cent coupon that would've made it 25 cents out of pocket, but I couldn't find my $1 coupon that would've made it free...so I just walked a way. Does anyone else refuse to PAY for toothpaste???
Anyway, here's my trip:
- Tuf garbage bags 45 ct $2.50 (this is a great deal - not all the bags are marked but most are $2.50)
- 2 - Nestle Morsels @ $3.29 = $6.58
- 2 - Glade Plug In Gel & $1.99 = $3.98
- Glade Candle $1.99
- Crest Pro Health Rinse $4.49
- 2 Pantene Beau Length Sham @ 4 = $8
- Pantene Gel $4
Total: $31.54
Coupons:
- Nestle Morsels $1.99 (subtract $2.60) tear from page 3 of the weekly ad
- 2 - $1.50 of Nestle chips (go to the bottom of the pages & sign up)
- BOGO Glade PlugIn - newspaper
- $1 off Glade PlugIn (coupon was stuck to PlugIn!)
- $1 off Glade candle - newspaper
- $2 off Pantene - newspaper
- $4 off - free Pantene stylling product when you buy 2 Pantene Sham/Cond - newspaper
- $10 Robitussin Register Reward (COME ON you did the deal last week right?!?!)
Out of Pocket: $5.95 (or $15.95 without RR) + tax
RRs recieved: $6.50 ($4.50 for Crest and $2 for Pantene)
Rebates received: $8.80 ($5 for Pantene #11,$2 for Glade PlugIn #33, $1 for Glade Candle #34 with 10% gift card bonus)
Total cost. $0.65 + tax (out of pocket + RRs used - RR received - Rebates recieved)
OH and if you want the .25 toothpaste, tear the "super coupon" from page 11 of the weekly ad and use the .75 coupon from the paper, or I THINK there was a $1 coupon in the All You magazine...but I can't find it!

Walgreens - Let's make some money!
How much to you like Robitussin? That is the question this week because you can make SEVEN Walgreens dollars for EVERY three Robitussin you buy. With all this free Walgreens money you could get some batteries or a new MP3 player, develop some pictures, get diapers, or buy some free after rebate items! The possibilities are endless (well, endless inside the Walgreens walls).
Buy 3 Robitussin @ $3.99 each = $11.97 + tax
Use 3 - $3 off Robitussin coupons = $9
Out of Pocket = $2.97 + tax
Receive $10 in Walgreens Register Rewards. WOOHOO
Repeat
fyi: the coupon will have your name on it and a "unique code" but the website does not limit your printing (if they wanted to they could) and says nothing about one per customer or transaction. It does say one per purchase though (in case someone asks) - one purchase is one item. So three items and three coupons is fine.
Other Walgreens deals this week:
- - Crest Pro-Health mouthwash $4.49, free after $4.50 Register Reward
- - Tylenol PM $3.49 , use $2 coupon from this Sunday's paper and $1 coupon from the EasySaver Catalog for a total cost of $.49
- - Visine $3.99, use $3 coupon from All you (Wal-Mart mag) and $2 coupon from the EasySaver Catalog for a $1.01 profit, or use the $2 coupon from the paper w/ the EasySavor to make it free.
I did all 4 of these deals in one transaction, spending $8.38 (with tax) and receiving $14.50 in Register Rewards - $6.12 in profit!

CVS
There are a lot of great deals at CVS this week. So many that I am not going to plan example trips because I would end up with about 14 to get EVERY deal. So buy what you want and keep your totals at or above $10 (before coupons) to maximize your spending with the $2 off $10 coupon
Steals
Covergirl Outlast Lipcolor is buy one get one free at $9.99. Use the BOGO lipcolor coupon from this Sunday's paper and they're both free! (you must buy other stuff with this to use the $2 off $10!)- Covergirl Wetslicks is $5.99 and free after ECB. There is a $1 off any Covergirl coupon from the paper making this a $1 profit.
- Dawn Hand Renewel is .99 this week. There was a $1 coupon in this Sunday's paper.
- Kiss Nail Glue, I know, do we really need this??? But if you buy two at $1.99 each, you get $5 back, which is a $1.01 profit (I've already done this deal, it works)
- Colgate is $2.99 with $2 ECB. You can use the $1 off Colgate from the paper a few weeks ago or the $1.50 out of the All You magazine (available at Wal-Mart) for a .01 or .51 profit.
- Goody's is $1.49 and free after ECB
- Diabetes Monitor $9.99 and free after ECB, know anyone that needs one?
- Flav-o-Ice is normally $14.99 but has been on clearance for 75% off at some stores. It turns out there is still a $5 ECB printing on it from a sale in May! So if you find it you'll profit about $1.25
- Arnicare (I think it's like IcyHot) is a monthly deal and it is $8.99 with an $8 ECB. Use this $2 coupon to make a $1.01 profit.
Deals
- Purex 32 load, 50 oz is on sale this week for $2.99. A $1 ECB is printing on it! There was also a .50 coupon from the paper. Detergent for $1.49!
- Charmin & Bounty are on sale for $6.49. This isn't a such a great deal, but what else are you going to do with all that profit.
If you bought EVERYTHING listed (that's a lot of trips (but I'll do it)) and one of the $6.49 items, your total cost after ECB would be $3.20. HOWEVER that does NOT include the $2 off $10 coupons. So you'll make a major profit if you split all your trips!

Walgreens today and tomorrow
Double dipping is tricky business. For two days a month you can use coupons and rebates from two months of the EasySaver catalogs. A lot of times the products overlap (which is silly for them but great for us) Using the $10 off $40 coupon, you must use all EasySaver and Walgreens coupons FIRST, then your total must be abover $40, then give them the $10 off $40 coupon, THEN start on manufacturer coupons. Does it sound confusing? Yes, it is. But carefully planned you can get some great stuff for free and make some (Walgreens) money. I think I've made about 8 Excel spreadsheets already trying to get the best bang for my buck (it does the math for me. If you local Wags does not have the September book out yet, you can print your coupons off their website .
