Wags through 8/15

There is a Back 2 School coupon book available at Walgreens. It has a bunch of coupons in it that may be used along with manufacturer coupons. It's pamphlet style and is orange on the front cover. I found a few by the front register. I’ll call it ‘B2S’ to shorten this already long (because there are so many great deals!) post.

**Colgate Total Enamel Strength Toothpaste $2.99 with $3RR, use $1 coupon from paper or print $1 off Colgate = $1 overage
**Buy 2 Neosporin $3.99 or Band-Aid $2.99 products get $4 RR. Use $1 and $.50 coupons for Band-Aids to make them free (or really close).
**Buy any 1 each Reach floss, toothbrush or Listerine 3 for $9 receive $6 RR, use $3 off 3 coupon = free....look for clearance Vanilla Mint Listerine 500ml or Reach Ultra toothbrushes for $1.09 each. Buy 3, use $1 coupons for each & pay just $.27 after coupon and still get the RR ($5.72 overage??)!
**Bic Round Grip Pens 2 for $1, use this $1 off 2 BIC = free
**Sharpie Highlighters $.99, use this $1 off = free
**Huggies Wipes 64 ct $2.57, use $.50 coupon from newspaper plus $2 off B2S = $.07 each!
**Kraft Easy Mac Cups $1, print 2-$1 off 2 Easy Mac (click on ‘get special savings') and use the $1 off 4 from the B2S = $.25 each
**Jergens Naturals Lotions $5.99 with $5 RR = $.99…it’s not free, but it would be a good filler if an x/xx coupon comes out this week!
**V8 is 2 for $5, use 2 - $1 off V8 Fusion = $1.50 each (I've got to get veggies in this kid somehow)
**Axe Shock Shower Gel $4.43 buy 3 get 1 movie tix, buy 5 get 2 tix, use $1.50 off Axe Shock. Buy 3, use 3 coupons = $8.79 out of pocket + 1 tix; buy 5, use 5 coupons = $14.65 out of pocket + 2 tix…either one will save you a few bucks at the theater.

Woohoo! I'm going to Wags on my lunch break today, so I had to get all these deals figured out first! I'll post more later!

If you missed the $5 off $25 on Wednesday & Thursday, you’re in luck because here is another one , good through Saturday! I woke up this morning thinking about how I only hit Walgreens once over those 2 days!

Walgreens also put out a new ad today. I’m not sure if it’s in the store or just listed online, but you can check it out here The front page lists another $5 off $25 (valid same days) but also a coupon for a $10 meal deal: 12-pack of coke, Edy’s Ice Cream & DiGiourno pizza. On a good grocery sale day, you could probably get those things cheaper individually, but put it with our new coupon, and we’ve got a good deal!

Scenario # 2897 for this week:
Vitamin Shampoo or Conditioner $3.99
Gum Toothbrush $3.49
Charmin $6.49
2 Kellogg’s Cereal $5
Coke
DiGiourno
Edy’s

Charmin in-ad coupon (makes it $6.49)

Out of pocket: $22.72

RRs recieved: $9.50 ($4 shampoo, $3.50 toothbrush, $2 Kellogg’s)

Total Cost: $13.22. Yeah, yeah it’s not free, but come on, I needed that toilet paper! If you don’t like your actual cost being that high, you could trade out some items and invest in stamps. Golly, can you tell I am OCD about these stamps?

CVS through 8/8

I figured out the key to a successful CVS trip (for me)…go on Sunday. 15 minutes before the CVS down the road was closing yesterday (because the 24-hour CVS is often a lost cause, even on Sunday) I ran out the door. As they were locking their doors, I checked out with 2 of the 12+ free school supplies (only things left) and EVERYTHING else that was on my list!!! I’m going to CVS during my lunch hour today to see if there’s anything else out there…it could happen.

There are at least 12 free school supplies through Tuesday and also cheap Pepsi (Dr.P included!)! Jeremy keeps asking for soft drinks when we go to the grocery and I assure him that I’ll get a good deal at CVS soon…here it is!
