Walgreens 5/30 - 6/5

Wow!  I was surprised at all the freebies and money makers at Walgreens this week!  I suspected that it would be a dull week just because of the Memorial Day holiday.  I was pleasantly surprised to get some great deals this morning.  Here's what I bought.  (sorry, no photos this time!)

Reach toothbrushes and floss on sale for .99
Sign up for a $1.00 off Reach coupon here and get these FREE with .01 of overage. (there are also MANY coupons from past inserts that you can find at CouponTom just by searching "REACH")

Aquafresh Kids toothpaste, .99 with in ad coupon
Sign up for a $1.00 off Kids Aquafresh coupon here and get these FREE with .01 overage.

Ecotrin, $2.00 with a $2 RR in return
Sign up for a $2.00 off Ecotrin coupon here or use the $2.00 off coupon from the 5/16 RP for a $2.00 MM!! 

U by Kotex tampons, liners and pads, $3.49 with a $2.50 RR in return
Get a $1.00 off U by Kotex coupon here or use the various product coupons in the 4/18 S, 5/16 S or May AY to get these FREE with .01 overage after the RR. 

Walgreens brand A to Z select multivitamins, $2.00 with a $2 RR in return.  This makes an awesome filler to use some RR's from a previous week.  I love to use items for fillers that end up being FREE after RR's. 

I did three various transactions with these items and when I did I received all my RR's and some that I wasn't expecting.  For two of the transactions I received Catalina coupons for FREE Always products (probably because I was purchasing U by Kotex).  I received a FREE Always Liners Catalina and a FREE Ultra or Maxi pads Catalina as well.  That was a nice surprise!  I also received a $1.50 Catalina coupon off my next purchase of Playtex Gentle Glide products and a $1.50 Catalina off my next Scrubbing Bubbles purchase.  NICE!!

Reminder - 5/30/10 No Coupon Inserts

According to SundayCouponPreview there will be no inserts this weekend because of Memorial Day.  I am actually looking forward to a break from coupons for a week!  I need to do some organizing, so this would be a great week to do that. 

I hope you all have a wonderful and safe Memorial Day weekend!

More Cheap Legos!

I stopped in over at Target on E. State Street (Rockford, IL) this afternoon to get some of the cheap Legos that I mentioned here and I was pleasantly surprised to find ANOTHER Legos deal on the shelf waiting for me! 

The Star Wars Echo Base set is also on sale this week for $15 BUT the E. State Store was all sold out of that set, so they had a sign up on the shelf that stated that since they were out of stock of the Star Wars set, they were offering the Toy Story 3 Lotso's Dump Truck for $12 for the inconvenience. 

It just so happens that my son loves anything Toy Story and the $3 coupon also included this Toy Story set.  According to the Lego website this set retails for $19.99 but with the unadvertised sale and the $3 Target store coupon you can grab this set for just $9!  Anyone who is familiar with Legos knows that this is a great price for this set. 

I am sure this unadvertised price is hit or miss at other stores depending on if the Star Wars set is sold out, but you can always call ahead of time and ask before making a trip just for this.  The Rockford store had plenty of boxes of the Toy Story set on the shelf (and I grabbed the last City Fire Truck that was on the shelf - phew!).  

I was so glad that I had an extra $3 coupon with me when I went so I could grab this great deal on these!  Make sure you print extras to bring along.  There was also a home mailer that some of you may have gotten that had the $3 Lego Target store coupon in so check your coupons for it.

Kraft "Cheesy Deal" Game & Coupons

Go here to play the "Cheesy Deal" Kraft spin game.  As you rack up points you can redeem them for coupons.  If you choose the boxed Mac 'n Cheese coupon you will get to print a .55 off TWO coupon, and if you go back to the game and hit the "Get Coupon" button again you will be able to print it twice.

There's also a coupon for the Mac 'n Cheese cups and the new Homestyle Mac 'n Cheese.  Hold onto these until you find a great sale to pair them with, the coupons I printed today don't expire until 6/26/10.

National Consumer Panel (NCP)

Are you interested in being rewarded for shopping?  Sounds great, doesn't it?  There's a no-cost program that I found through National Consumer Panel that does just that.  You sign up with NCP and then they will send you a hand held scanner.  All you have to do is scan the bar codes of all of your purchases after you shop and then upload your purchase information to them once a week.

This program is designed to monitor consumer habits and behavior.  Manufacturers and retailers will look at the information you send in to decide what products to make and sell to consumers all across the country. 

I thought this would be a great way for couponers to get even more bang for their buck, and show the manufacturers that not all shoppers are your "typical" shopper, our shopping "behaviors" could help shape future couponing offers - you never know! 

If you are interested and want to learn more about this program you can access their website here.   If you sign up, come back and let me know what you think of the program - I love to hear your feedback!

Jewel 5/27 - 6/3

I didn't get my Jewel ad on Tuesday this week like I normally do so I feel a little "out of the loop" so to speak!  There are couple new Catalina promos starting at Jewel the week of 5/27 - 6/3. 

There is a Kraft Catalina promo starting 5/27 that is spend $25 in participating products and get a $5 Catalina OYNO.  I have the UPC list of participating products courtesy of CW so if you need it just send me a note and I will get it to you.  (if you were able to grab some of those $1.00 off Capri Sun Sunrise manufacturer coupons taped to the shelves at Woodmans this would be a great sale to use them on!)

There is also a June Dairy Month Catalina promo starting 5/30 that may have some double dip products with the Kraft promo.  This promo runs until 7/1 so we may see more double dips with these products over the next month.  With this one you buy 5 participating products and receive a Catalina for $5 OYNO.  Some of the participating products are: 8th Continent, All Whites, Borden, Organic Valley, Kraft Philadelphia Cheese, Kraft Singles, Daisy, Florida's Naturals, Land O'Lakes, Sargento Cheese, Yoplait, Almond Breeze, Bailey's Coffee Creamer, and Welch's.  If you need the UPC list for this promo let me know, this one is also available thanks to CW.
