Staples through 7/15 and 7/19

I always look through the Staples ad on Sunday morning to check for their Easy Rebates. I have gotten a lot of free pens & paper with the free rebates. This week there are some great rebates and back to school deals. Some of them are only good through Wednesday, so go soon! There are limits on what you can buy of each item, so look in the ad!

Sale through Wed:
**Staples pencils (8 ct) .01
**Staples Copy Paper $3.69 Submit for the $3.68 Staples Easy Rebate (it’s online and it really is easy) Final cost = $.01!
**Staples Photo Paper 4″x6″ $9.99, submit for a $8.99, Final cost = $1!

The following items are all $1. If you need them, buy them, but otherwise you might find the cheaper in the next month or so:
Staples translucent pencil cases
Staples Mini Magnetic Stapler
Acme Junior 5“ scissors (2 pk)
BIC Wite-Out Quick Dry (2 Pack)
Staples Pink Wedge Erasers (3 Pack)
Sharpie Major Accent Highlighters, Assorted, (6 Pk)
BIC Velocity Stick Fashion Pens, Assorted, (5 Pack)
Scotch Magic Tape

In Sunday’s ad there was a $5 off $20 coupon, but if you already threw it away (like me) here it is online.
Scenario:
2 Staples Photo Paper $9.99 each = $19.98
2 Staples Pencils, or any of the $1 items
Total: $20 + tax
Use the $5 coupon,
Out of pocket: $15 + tax
Submit for rebate and get up to $4.98 in overage!!! I will more than likely go for the 2 photo papers and a copy paper…because I need the copy paper, but if you're just in it for the overage (or photo paper) this is the way to go!

Their rebates are SO easy. Everything is submitted online and you get a check in just a few weeks!

CVS through 7/15 & 7/18

Can you believe school sales are already out? Wags has all their summer stuff on clearance to make way for folders and notebooks and backpacks...Didn’t the summer just start? Think about what you might need for school/office, organizing around the house, etc for the next year and stock up over the next month or so for ridiculous prices. It looks like Meijer started on Saturday with CVS, and Staples and a few other stores following this week. So here we go!

3 Day ONLY Sale (Sunday – Tuesday):
**Caliber/CVS 1 Subject Notebook $.99 with $.99 ECB = free
**PaperMate Grip Pens (8 ct) $.99 with $.99 ECB = free
**Caliber/It’s Academic 5” scissors $2.99 w/ $2.99 ECB = free
**Caliber/CVS school glue (5 oz) $.99 with $.99 ECB = free
**Caliber /CVS 12” ruler $.99 with $.99 ECB = free
**Portfolio 2 pocket folders $.05!

Rest of the week:
**Gillette Fusion manual or power razor $7.99 with $4 ECB, use $4 coupon from 6/7 paper = free
**Tylenol 8 hour or arthritis 20-24 ct $3.99 with $3 ECB, use $2 coupon from 6/21 for $1 overage or use one of these $1 coupons here here to make it free
**Bayer Breeze2 or Contour meter $19.99 with $5 ECB, use $30 off coupon (adjust down) for $5 overage.
**6x8 photobook from Kodak Kiosk $7.99 with $7.99 ECB = free. These things are so cool. I have to admit I have not completed one, but I have great intentions. They print out with borders and colors and writing – anything you want. It takes a little bit of time sitting there at the kiosk, put if you have a plan before you go, it shouldn’t be too hard. Here is a YouTube video about it.

A Note about Coupons.com

Coupons.com adds coupons randomly throughout the month. Each computer is allowed two printings per coupon per month. When the manufacturer reaches the amount of coupons they want to distribute (for example, they may allow 1500 coupons to print), the coupon is removed from the site…and may appear again on the 1st of the following month. It is just 8 days into the month and the $2 Axe coupon I posted about is already gone. So when you see coupons you want on coupons.com, print it right then because you might not get another chance!

CVS & Wags through 7/11

Yeah! Our favorite drug stores are having great sales this week! Get out there before it's all gone! PS Sorry for the messiness of this post. There are so many coupons and rebates and then scenarios to be explained...hopefully it's still understandable...

I'll keep looking for more deals and update this post as needed!

more K-Mart & a Pampers deal!

If you're not into buying 5 packs of Huggies...or you don't have enough coupons to make it worth your while, here is another super scenario (that I did not come up with). This is the same Unilever/Kimberly Clark/SC Johnson as Huggies, so mix & match up to $50 to get $14 back.

Purchase:
4 axe shampoo @4.99
4 dove deo @3.99

_________________________________________

Here's another one...P&G has a deal with buy $25 in products get a $5 coupon off your next visit, buy $40 worth get $10 back. Pampers is P&G!...and anything you saw in Sunday's P&G coupon insert.

Buy 4 Pampers @ $9.99 = $39.96
Pampers wipes @ $2.99
You may as well add in $7.05 in additional products in order to use the $5 off $50 purchase (buy items that you can get for free or close to free with other random double coupons)

Coupons:
$5 off $50
any coupons for your $7.05 in additional products
4 - $2 Pampers coupons = $16 (I don't have that many $2 ones, but hopefully you do???)
$.50 Pampers wipes coupon = $1

Out of pocket: $20.96 + tax

Get back $10 = about $2.74 a piece. That is awesome! Before doing the math I didn't think it would be that good! I love Pampers!

Diapers @ $2.74 per pack

This is the same K-Mart sale as a few weeks ago. Combine a $5 off $50 coupon, double coupons up to $2, $14 to use on your next purchase, and a rebate for $.75 back per package, and you've got a pretty good deal.

5 Huggies Jumbo = $49.95
Huggies Wipes $2.99

Total: $52.94

Coupons:
GIVE CASHIER FIRST $5 off $50 coupon
5 - $1.50 off Huggies, or whatever you have ($2 pullups coupons would be even better), doubled = $15 off
$.75 off wipes, doubled - $1.50

Out of pocket: $31.44 (+ tax)

Receipt $ off next order: $14

Submit for rebate for $.75 back per package = $3.75

Total Cost: $13.69, or $2.74 per pack! ($1.74 each if buying pull-ups with $2 coupon)

Random deals at BRU this weekend

I read about some deals coming up this weekend at Babies ‘R’ Us. One included buying 2 Pampers value boxes, a $10 coupon, a $10 gift card AND manufacturer coupons and they still end up being more than $.25 per diaper when the value boxes are $40.99(!)….but that’s still about $.10 cheaper per diaper than buying them at sale price at a grocery store. So, if you are in need, and haven’t taken advantage of any of the other diaper deals, then go for it! This Pampers deal is only good tomorrow, July 2nd when the coupon and gift card offer overlap. There are a lot of coupons that expire tomorrow, and that are valid the 2nd through the 4th so take a few seconds and see if there is anything you need!

Wateroos ‘naturally’ fruit flavored purified water is on sale this week for buy one get one 50% off. When you buy 4 6-packs you may submit for a rebate for a $10 gift card to Babies ‘R’ Us or Whole Foods. So buy 4 6-packs of Wateroos at $3.49, BOGO 50% = $10.48. submit for the gift card and that’s just $.48 for 24 juice boxes…that’s .02 a piece!!

Babies ‘R’ Us, also has 15 ct travel size Sani-Hands for Kids for $.99. There were coupons in the 8/10 & 3/2 newspapers for $1 off = free!

And if you’ve got your juice boxes and Sani-Hands, look for $13.53 in additional products and use this $5 off $25 coupon (it can’t be used with the diaper deal because you can’t use 2 Babies R Us coupons together).
