FREE Wilkinson Disposable Razors @ Walmart

It seems as if I have been at Walmart everyday for the past few days!  With opening our pool and needing chemicals, unexpected prescriptions to pick up and a few necessities I think I have been there for three days in a row.  I hope to have a break tomorrow.

Anyway, I have a money making FREEBIE for you!  The 4 pack of Wilkinson Classic Twin disposable razors for men or women are .97 each.  Use the $1.00 off coupon from Coupons.com at zip code 62946 to get these FREE with .03 overage to do with as you please.  These may be a little hard to find, look on the bottom row of the razor aisle, in the bins, not on pegs with the expensive razors.  There is a men's version in a blue bag, and the women's version is pictured above.  My store had plenty of stock on both of these.

While I was there I noticed they restocked the Nexcare bandages, so I grabbed a few more of these also.  At least now if I cut myself shaving with these FREE razors, I have plenty of bandages to use!  :)

Walgreens 4/24 thru 4/30

Happy Easter!  It's a rare occasion that I shop on a Sunday, but since I was out and about for church this morning and I had some RR's that were expiring I decided to stop for a couple quick transactions.  It's a slow week again at Wags, not a whole lot to get excited about.  There is one good MM that you will be interested in, especially if you are a Splenda user. 

Splenda is on sale for $2.99 each this week.  My store had the granulated in a box and the boxes of 100 count packets.  These are FREE when you use the $3 off coupon from the 4/17 SS.  FREE is always good, but you can turn this into a MM if you have multiple coupons.  If you purchase 3 Splenda products in one transaction, your Splenda will be FREE and you will get a $4 RR in return.  If you purchase 2 Splenda products in one transaction, out pops a $3 RR.  A good MM either way!  :)

The Luster toothpaste is on sale for $4.99 each with a $4 RR in return.  Use the $1.50 coupon from the 4/3 SS to get this FREE with .51 overage after RR.  Just be careful not to use the $4 RR from the same toothpaste deal two weeks ago (like I did) in your transaction or your RR won't print.  :(

Select Stayfree products are on sale for $2.99 each with a $3 RR in return.  Use the $1 off coupon from the 3/27 RP to turn this into a $1 MM. 

Lastly, Nexcare bandages are on sale for $2.99 each and they all have a peelie rebate on them to "Try Me Free".  These were not on the regular shelf at my store, they were on an overhead shelf above where all the bandages are.  You can max this out at 3 rebates per receipt if you purchase one of each kind they have.  There is waterproof, active and soft 'n flex to choose from.  Use as many .55 off coupons that you have from the 4/3 SS to turn this into a MM also.  Just remember to separate out into different transactions if you are sending in for more than one, and only get one of each kind in your transactions. 

That's all I've got for this week!

Walmart Deals - 4/20

There's a couple good deals with coupons at Wal-mart this week that I wanted to share with you. 

First we have the Nivea men's and women's body washes priced at $3.00 each.  In the 4/17 RP insert there are two $3.00 off coupons, one for men's and one for women's.  Body wash is something that you rarely have to pay for!

Next, these B1G1F packages of Lysol wipes are $2.92.  Use the $1.50 off coupon from Facebook to get these for $1.45 or .72 each.  Remember you can hit the "back" button and print it twice!  Pretty good deal.

My store has the individual packages of cheddar, string and pepper jack Frigo cheese for .33 each.  You can gain some overage with this if you use the .50 off any Frigo product coupon from the 4/17 SS insert.  Each one will get you .17 back. 

White Cloud 4 double roll packs are $2.00 each.  Use the $1.00 off any White Cloud coupon from the May AY magazine to get these for .25 a double roll, my target price for TP.  This coupon is a thicker card type coupon that you can pull out of the magazine.

Purex Complete softener crystals are $3.97 each, so if you use the $2.00 off coupon from the 3/13 RP to get these for $1.97. 

Lastly, my store has had Dole strawberries priced at either $1.00 or $1.50 per container for quite some time now.  The price varies from week to week.  I suggest grabbing these and making some strawberry shortcake!  They also freeze really well.

A few FREEBIES @ Wags

(This is my first attempt blogging from my iPad so bear with me if things aren't quite right!)

If you are heading to Wags for all the craziness of FREE and MM's this week, I have a couple FREEBIES for you to add to your list.

Wags has small 3 count boxes of Cream of Wheat for $1.00 each. Take along your $1.00 off coupon from the 1/9 SS to get some nice hot cereal for FREE, if you need more coupons you can check out this link here for another $1.00 off coupon and here for $1.00 off Cinnabon flavor Cream of Wheat.  These cute little boxes were not by the regular cereals, so check around - look in other aisles too. 

I spotted small tubes of the new Dial NutriSkin lotion for .99 each at my store.  These were in the cosmetics counter in a small fish bowl type display.  Look low on the shelf on the far end of the counter - these were really hidden well!  Use the $2 off coupon from the 2/20 RP insert to get these FREE, with some possible overage. 

I will try to get my Wags shop posted this week, but I am having a hard time keeping up because the deals are so good this week, so I may not be able to in a timely manner.  :)  I will do what I can!

Sugar & Spice

Let's spice things up a bit!  With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I have shown you how to get something sweet for cheap here - but what if chocolate isn't what you were looking for?  Well, if you want something a little more romantic for that special someone in your life, then I have a couple deals for you!

Right here is a coupon for $3.00 off ANY KY brand product (excluding trial sizes).  Wal-mart has KY jelly for $2.62 each.  Use the $3 coupon to gain .38 in overage for each one that you purchase (choose your cashier wisely and if you shop at the same store that I do, there's none on the shelf right now).  There may be another $3.00 off coupon here too, I printed it yesterday but I am not seeing it there today.  You can also use the $2.00 off coupon from the 1/30 SS and pay .62 each for these.   

Next, if you "like" Couples Place by KY on Facebook here you will be able to print a $7.00 off coupon for any KY brand premium product.  This includes Yours and Mine, Intense and Intrigue products.  The Yours and Mine is on sale at Wags this week for $14.99 (regularly $19.99) and the Intense is on sale for $24.99 each.  The regular price of the Yours and Mine is $14.98 at Wal-mart.  This $7 off coupon would make for a nice price on either of these at Walgreens or Wal-mart.  Now, if you can wait until next week (I know it will be difficult to!), it's being reported that the Yours and Mine will be on sale at Target for $14.99 each with a $5.00 gift card in return for your purchase.  Use the $7 coupon, pay $7.99 and get back $5.  That makes this only costing you $2.99 plus tax! 

Valentine's Day is a great reason to take advantage of these deals, but think ahead.  Do you have any upcoming special occasions that you may need something like this for?  A romantic getaway weekend, a gag gift, an upcoming anniversary?  My sister is getting married in June and I am her matron-of-honor.  I will be throwing her a bachelorette party and these will make great gifts for a "personal" shower or bachelorette party.  :)  I can't wait to see her face when she opens it!

Walgreens 1/30 thru 2/5

With this blizzard on it's way, I decided to do ALL my weekly shopping yesterday.  I was tired by the end of the day!  I made it to two Wags stores, Hilander/Kroger, Sam's Club and Wal-mart - and I helped for an hour in my son's Kindergarten class.  WHEW - talk about exhausted! 

There's lots of good MM's and deals at Wags this week so lets get started:

With Valentine's Day just around the corner I have some "sweet" deals to report! Bags of Hershey's Mini's or Drops are on sale 2/$6.  In the 1/30 SS insert there's a manufacturer coupon for $2 off TWO bags.  There's also a Walgreens store coupon for $2.00 off TWO bags in the February monthly coupon booklet.  Stack those and that brings the price of these down to $1.00 a bag, and that's a great deal!  If the shelf is empty, look around the store.  I found some on hang pegs up by the registers too. 

My frugal pal Renea reported that she tried this Russell Stover Private Reserve candy deal and it worked out perfectly.  She used the $1 coupon from 12/12 S and got these candies for $1.24.  The boxes are actually ringing up $2.24 (regular $9.99) so with the coupon this is a STEAL!  If you are concerned that it won't ring up $2.24, just have a cashier price check before you buy. 

Next, here you can print a $1.00 off TWO Butterfinger Snackerz coupon.  These will ring up 2/$1.59.  Use the $1.00 off manufacturer coupon and stack that with the in-ad Butterfinger store coupon to turn this into a small MM.  Hand over the manufacturer coupon first which brings your cost down to .59 for TWO.  Then hand over the store coupon which will take off .82 for each TWO on your receipt.  Turns this into a .23 MM for each TWO that you purchase. 

If you were lucky enough to print the $2.00 off Cottonelle printables that were available at Common Sense With Money earlier in the week (no longer available) you have a really great deal on TP.  The Cottonelle 12 BIG roll packs are on sale for $5 this week.  Use that $2.00 off coupon stacked with the $1.00 off coupon from the new monthly coupon booklet and get 12 rolls for $2.00.  That comes out to .17 each double roll, well below my target price of .25 a roll.  Even though Cottonelle is my least favorite TP, for that price I will use it. 

There's an under-advertised MM this week that I want to share with you.  If you have the right coupons you can turn this product into a $5.01 MM for yourself.  The Neuragen is on sale right now for $14.99 each, with a $10 RR in return.  If you have the current Diabetes and You Wags Magazine there's a $10.00 off coupon in there for this product...you see where I am going with this!  If you don't have the magazine, there's still hope.  Read on....if you participated in the previous Neuragen MM that was with a MIR here back in November, you should have already received your rebate check and with that rebate check was a coupon for this product, you guessed it - $10.00 off!  See how your original MM deal can turn this into another great opportunity?  Neuragen, the manufacturer that keeps on giving!! :)

There's a few various other MM this week:

Arnicare Gel, $5.99 with a $6 RR in return.  Use this $2 printable which turns this into a MM.  This is a .pdf that doesn't expire until 2012 so save this one for future use!  (this coupon beeps, but the cashier should push it through)

Blink Tears, $7.99 with a $8 RR in return.  Use the $1 coupon from the 1/2 SS for another MM. 

Natrol Melatonin is again on sale for $3 with a $3 RR making them FREE.  Use the $2 coupon from the 10/10 RP to make $2 on this one.  There were also some coupons that were in previous boxes purchased, so check your other packages if you got in on this one before...another product that keeps on giving!

Icy Hot No-Mess Gels are on sale for $3.99 with a $3 RR in return.  Use the $1 coupon in the 1/30 SS to get these for FREE.  Note that the kids version is also part of this promo and these were located in the same area as the cold and cough medicines. 

There was a new $1.00 off ANY Vicks product coupon in the 1/30 PG insert to get you some more free Vicks drops.  These are usually up by the front registers. 

I needed a few fillers to roll some RR's this week so here's what I added into my transactions: 

* Green Giant canned veggies are .79 each with in-ad coupon, not the super best price, but when I use fillers I like them to be something that we will actually use.

* Van Camps Pork and Beans are 2/$1 with in-ad coupon.  Not the best beans but if you "doctor" them up with brown sugar, mustard, ketchup and garlic or onion powder they are pretty good!

* .99 Hallmark card (needed it)

* A-Jax powder cleaner is .33 each with in-ad coupon.

Logli Quaker Deal

Logli is currently running a deal on Quaker Granola Bars and Oatmeal. If you purchase 5 participating items, you will get a coupon for a free gallon of milk (up to $3 value). Now, the oatmeal is included, but it's not that great of a deal in my eyes. What I did focus on was the granola bars. All varieties of the bars are on sale (dipped, regular and even the new cocoa ones) for 5/$10. There aren't any coupons out there that I know of.

I had purchased my first set of 5 and then got my coupon for my free milk. Wanting to do another set of 5 and also get my first free milk, I went back in. I decided not to get the Dean's, which was still under my $3 value, but did purchase the Logli brand for $2.39. What I didn't expect was for the coupon to still scan for $3, so I got a little overage too! I'm not sure if this was my cashier's error or just the way it scanned. I think it scanned this way as I don't recall seeing her plug in any numbers. Also, this transaction does roll, meaning, even though I bought milk and used my coupon, a new coupon for free milk printed with my purchase of 5.

Walgreens 1/16 thru 1/22

Sorry I am so slow with sharing my Wags run with you this week - I feel like I am going in ten different directions at the moment! 

Here's what I got this week:

ThermaCare Heat Wraps(neck, wrist, shoulder) are on sale for $2.50 each with a $2.50 RR in return.  Turn this into a MM by using the $1.00 off coupon here.  This coupon is an unlimited print so go to town with this one!  The stores that I have been to are well stocked with this product. 

Gillette Fusion razors are on sale for $9.99 with a $5 RR in return.  Use the $4.00 off coupon from the 12/26 PG insert to get these "expensive" razors for .99 each after RR and coupons. 

Oreos are on sale 2/$5 this week.  If you are having an Oreo crisis, as we were in our house, this is a pretty good sale. :) There's no manufacturer coupons to match up, but normally these packages run just around $3 each.  These would be good items to add in if you like them and you want to roll some RR's. 

Lindsay Olives are .99 a can after in-ad coupon.  We were starting to get low so I grabbed a couple cans.  This is the large can and it's a good price if you need them.  No manufacturer coupons available right now for these either. 

Planter's Flavor Grove skinless almonds are on sale this week 2/$5.  If you have any of the $1.00 off tearpad coupons that have been out at some stores, you can combine two of them with the $1.00 off TWO packages in the Wags monthly coupon booklet to get these for $1.00 each.  We love nuts so I always try to grab some when I see them this cheap.  I was curious about these flavored nuts, but they are pretty good! 

If you are signed up at the Just For Men website, you may have received a mailer coupon for a FREE Just For Men product.  Check your binder, and if you have it now is the time to use it!  These are on sale for $5.99 each at Wags this week with the in-ad coupon.  They will ring up as $7.99 each.  Use the "FREE" coupon first, and then scan the in-ad coupon to gain $2.00 in overage.  This would pay for your almonds above if you were getting those - just make sure you have something in your cart to cover the overage.  Next, you will want to submit for this rebate to get your $7.99 back in the form of a rebate check.  That turns this into a grand total $9.99 MM deal!

Lastly, the Kraft Home-Style Mac n Cheese is on sale 3/$5 this week.  This doesn't happen that often at Wags, but these are actually ringing up $1.67/$1.66 each.  Normally the register won't take off the discount until the third item is scanned.  There's a $1.00 off coupon in the 1/16 SS, and if you only got two of these (like me) you can still take advantage of this deal.  Pick up TWO, use TWO $1.00 off coupons and then scan the $1.00 off TWO coupon from the monthly coupon booklet.  Makes these only .33 for TWO or about .17 each.  If you still have those FREE coupons that were mailed out by Kraft you could use that here to make this even better!

I had also planned to grab some of the Carefree panty-liners that are .99 each after the in-ad coupon.  I was going to combine that with the .50 off coupon from the 1/9 SS to make these only .49 a package, but my store was out of these.  There was a spot on the shelf but it had a clearance label there so I am wondering if this is a discontinued item...if I can get to another Wags before the sale is over I will grab them, otherwise these are .99 quite often at Wags and I should be able to get them later on because the Q doesn't expire until 3/31.

Walgreens 4 Day Sale 12/1 thru 12/4 (MM!)

Wags has a 4 day sale starting tomorrow.  There's one item that will be worth heading to the store for.  The Natrol Melatonin is on sale for $3 each with a $3 Jingle Ca$h RR in return.  I saved a .pdf coupon for $3 off any Natrol product, which turns this into a $3 MM!  Send me a note if you want me to forward you the .pdf coupon, it prints 3 to a page. 

**UPDATE: here's a direct link to that coupon!** (Thanks, CW)

I am not sure how this will play out at the register if you go tomorrow and use the Wags Friends and Family coupon also.  Only time will tell!

Walgreens 11/21 thru 11/27

I know it seems as if there's nothing going on at Wags this week, but I have a SWEET surprise for you!  There is a HUGE MM deal going on right now that you can work through 11/30 - no sale prices necessary!

These lancet devices by OneTouch are $19.99 each (regular price).  There's a coupon to get these for FREE in the 10/31 SS insert (exp. 11/30).  The coupon covers up to $19.99 off your purchase.  FREE lancing devices are a good thing if you are diabetic, or know someone who is.  If you are not diabetic here's where you can still benefit from this deal.  There's a $10.00 Wags store coupon off these lancing devices in the Diabetes and You Winter magazine.  This is a Wags magazine and is always kept in the pharmacy area.  Here's a shot of it so you know what to look for:  (I know, bad pic, but you get the hint!)

Stack the Wags store coupon with the manufacturer coupon and get yourself $10 in overage for each one of these babies that you "buy".  You can do multiples of this in one transaction since there's no RR's involved with this one, the Wags coupon takes off $10 for each one it sees on your receipt. 

A couple words to the wise on this deal: 

1. The manny Q beeps so don't be alarmed.  It beeps for the cashier to put in the amount of the item. 

2.  In this case, the order of which the coupons are scanned does not seem to make a difference because that manny Q is going to beep no matter what. 

3.  I have been reading that the Wags Q is actually acting like a manny Q for the purpose of # of items, so please make sure that you have enough in your cart to cover the overage and enough items in your cart to cover the # of Q's.  That's going to be item for item you are going to have to match.  Even though you are scanning the Wags coupon once, it's going to count as a Q for each of the lancing devices you purchased. 

4.  This deal is not for the weak of heart, if you don't feel comfortable with it, please don't do it - do not draw attention to the fact that you are getting $10 overage with each one.  If the cashier catches it, just go with it. 

5.  Lastly, if you can't get your hands on the Diabetes and You Winter magazine the Wags store coupon # is 5915.  Some stores and cashiers will allow you just to give them the # of the coupon without seeing the coupon.  They can input it manually and the $ will come off. 

Not much else going on for sales this week.  There's one RR deal for Colgate Pro-Clinical toothpaste and you can register for a $1 coupon here making these FREE after RR & coupon.  Use up that overage on things you need for the holiday, or things you never find on a deal on.  I was able to get my hubby some much needed new socks today!

I did read that the new "Jingle Ca$h" RR's are not printing just right.  There is a delay with the printing so make sure that the cashier gives you all your RR's before starting to ring the next customer.  Once they start to ring the next transaction, the RR (aka Jingle Ca$h) is voided out and will not print at all.   

Walgreens 11/14 thru 11/20

Wags is a little bit of a disappointment this week, no big MM's.  Here's what I picked up today:

These boxes of 20 VapoDrops are priced at 2/$1.79 or .99 each.  Use either of the $1.50 off any Vicks product coupons from the 10/10 RP or the P&G Year of Savings coupon booklet to get these FREE.  There's also a $1 off coupon in the 10/31 PG insert.  I found these boxes up by the front register at my store.  It will be hit or miss with overage on this one - Wags cashiers are pretty good at catching the coupons that are for a higher value than the item.  This one beeps at the register. 

French's Fried Onions are .99 each with the in-ad coupon.  Stack that with either of the .40 or .50 off coupons from 11/17 SS, here or here.  That makes these .49-.59 a can.  This is the only time of the year I have seen these cheap so now is the time to stock up on these. 

Ziploc bags (15 & 25 freezer and storage or 100 sandwich) are $1.99 each with the in-ad coupon.  My store had bonus boxes of the sandwich bags with 120 bags in each box.  Stack this store coupon with the $1.00/2 coupon from 10/10 SS or 11/14 SS to make these $1.49 a box.  I have been waiting for a deal on baggies and this is the best I have seen in a while.  Not the greatest deal but if you need them it's a decent price.  

Ecotrin 45 ct. are on sale for $1.99 each with the in-ad coupon.  Stack this with the $2.00 off any Ecotrin product from 10/10 RP to make these FREE.  

Kids-Eeze Cough and Cold is $4.99 with a $5 RR in return - FREE!  I didn't find any coupons to make this one a MM but FREE is still good.

Comet Cleanser is 2/$1 with the in-ad store coupon.  Stack the .35 off coupon from 10/10 SS to make these .15 each.  A good price indeed!

Milk is $1.99 a gallon this week.  If you aren't going to pick up your milk at Walgreens, you can bring along the Wags ad to Wal-mart and price match milk there. 

Also, if you can find them, Sinex is a MM this week again.  See my post here for the details.  This is a month long deal.  The problem is that the warehouse that serves our region ran out of these and has not been able to ship any to the local stores.  Good Luck finding them!

Lastly, my frugal friend Nicole has talked me into going back to Wags later this week to get some M&M's.  They are on sale 4/$10 with a $5 RR in return.  If you pick up 4 bags and use TWO of the $1.00/2 coupon from 11/14 RP you will get these 4 bags for $3.00 after coupons and RR.  That's .75 a bag and a pretty good price for holiday candies. 

I Heart PetSmart!

Dear PetSmart - I luv you! 

PetSmart has been the easiest store EVER to shop at with coupons and as long as they continue to be nice to couponers I will shop there.  :) 

TOTAL: $3.02 OOP for:  

4 small trial bags of Purina Pro Plan cat food

41 3-oz. cans Purina Pro Plan cat food

1 20-lb. container of Tidy Cats scoopable cat litter

(tax was $2.73!)

This was one transaction that I was not prepared for when I got up to the register - it's the first time I ever had to run back and grab MORE to use up all my overage!!  And it wasn't just one or two more cans - I ended up having to add in 14 more cans to get me into positive (by .29) on the register.  The cashier was a little perplexed by my whole transaction so by the end I couldn't even figure out how it played out. 

I did use the $5.00 off ANY Purina Pro Plan food and the B1G1F canned Purina Pro Plan printable manufacturer coupons from Coupons.com to make this transaction work.  The small trial packets are priced at .99, so for each of the $5 coupons I printed, I had $4.01 in overage to spend.  With 4 coupons that's 16.04!   The one thing that threw me for a loop is that when the cashier took off the $ for the "free" can of food, she took off the full .99 & .83 shelf price before my PetPerks card savings.  The PetPerks price on these is .50 a can, so I had an extra .44 or .33 per can to use up that I was not accounting for. 

I also just realized that I think she scanned my $1 off Tidy Cat coupon from the 9/12 RP twice.  There's one $1.00 off coupon on my receipt that I can't account for so I am guessing since she was a little confused she may have inadvertently scanned that one twice. 

Now, I purchased cat food because my barn cats eat this food, but you could work out a similar deal using the dog food packets of Pro Plan and canned dog food. 

I looked high a low in the store for the Purina One pouches so I could throw in some of the .99 cat food pouches and use up my $2.00 off ANY coupons from the 10/17 SS but they were all out.  :(  That would have made this an even better deal!  They did have the Purina One dog food pouches for .99 (10/17 SS) but, darn it all, I used those up at Walgreens already. 

The best part about this deal is that I paid with a $5 bill that I found in the Kohl's parking lot right before I went to PetSmart so really this transaction cost me nothing OOP! 

Walgreens 11/7 thru 11/13

I am a little late with posting my Wags list this week....here's what I picked up.

Neuragen nerve pain relief is on sale for $19.99 with a $19.99 MIR.  Use the $10 off coupon from the 10/24 RP or the $5 off printable at Smartsource.com to turn this into a $5 or $10 MM after MIR.  Make sure you only ring one in each transaction so you get a MIR form for each one you purchase.  (I only have 3 addresses to send rebates to so if you need one of the $10 coupons I have TWO extras to share with the first frugal friends to leave me messages).

Similasan Kids Cough or Cold & Mucus Relief is on sale for $5.99 with a $5.99 MIR making these FREE.  There's a $1.00 off printable at the Similasan website here which turns this into a $1 MM (minus postage costs).  There's also a $1.00 off manufacturer coupon inside each package, so after your first purchase you can open it up and use that coupon for your second purchase. 

Schick disposable razors are $5.99 with a $3 RR.  Use the $3 off coupon from Smartsource.com to grab these for FREE after RR.

Reach 55 yd. floss and Crystal Clean toothbrushes are both .99 with the in-ad coupon from the flyer.  Use the $1.00 off coupons from here stacked with the store coupon to grab both floss and brushes for FREE (scan the manufacturer coupon first).  (Note: there's TWO coupons, one for floss and one for toothbrushes)

RevitaLens solution is on sale for $3.99 with a $4 RR making these FREE.  There's no current coupons that I could find to turn these into a MM, but I used this as a "filler" item to roll my RR's from last week.  Doing that gives you a FREE item and extends the expiration date of your RR a little longer. 

Trial size pouches of Purina One dog food are $1.99 each, use the $2.00 off ANY Purina One dog food coupon from the 10/17 SS to grab these with .01 overage.  These little pouches usually have coupons inside to make this deal even better!  This coupon expires 11/17 so you will want to use these soon.

Lastly, in the November ALL YOU magazine there's a coupon for $5 off ANY $10 Wet 'n Wild purchase (page 22).  Wags has Wet 'n Wild nail polish, lip balm and lip stick for .99 each.  Grab 11 of these in any combination and pay just $5.89.  These make great stocking stuffers.  There's a load of fun colors in the nail polish so you should be able to find something for every girly-girl on your shopping list! 

I am not so sure I like these new MIR's that Wags is doing.  I don't like having to remember to get it in the mail, put out money for postage and wait for my rebate.  I do, however, like the fact that I don't end up with tons of RR's that I have to figure out how to spend.  What do you think of them?

FREE Dog Treats @ Woodmans

If you are heading over to Woodmans here's one to add to your list:

These Chew-eez Purina dog snacks are regularly priced at .99 each.  If you use the $4.00 off 4 manufacturer coupon from the 9/12 RP insert you will get 4 FREE for each coupon that you have.  If you are lucky enough to get a cashier that lets it go, you will get .04 overage with each coupon you use. 

Don't have a dog?  Consider grabbing these for the animal shelter, a friend or as a cute holiday gift for a neighbor's pooch.  I always like to have little dog treats around so when my sister stops over with her fur-baby I have treats to spoil her with! :)

(Thanks to CW for this great tip!)

Walgreens 10/31 thru 11/6

It's not that often that Walgreens can get me out shopping on a Sunday morning, but this week was an exception!  I started my shopping early this week because there's a couple good money makers that I wanted to be sure to get in on.  With an extremely busy week ahead of me I wanted to be sure to get a jump start in case I had to hit up a couple different Wags stores to get the stock that I have coupons for.  Here's what I got:

Zarbee's Cough Syrup is on sale for $5.99 with a $6 RR in return.  If you were lucky enough to grab some of the $3 printables before Zarbee's pulled them down, then this one turns into a $3 MM.  I was able to print them but they pulled them down so fast that I didn't even have time to get the link posted here before it was no longer available.  I think I just found the coupon link in the nick of time.  Zarbee's realized that the coupon would turn this into an awesome money maker and pulled the coupon off their site and Coupons.com until after there RR promo ends. 

The other really great MM this week is unadvertised.  Vick's products are on sale 2/$10 with a $5 RR in return for purchasing them.  The ad shows 20 ct. or 10 oz. NyQuill or DayQuill or 6 oz. Formula 44.  The MM with this promo is on the Vicks Sinex products.  Both daytime and nighttime formulas work for this, but it has to be the 20 ct. liquid caps.  So, grab TWO of the 20 ct. Sinex products (day or night) and use two of the $4.00 off one coupons from the 10/10 P&G insert.  You will pay $2.00 OOP and get back a $5 RR for a $3.00 MM on each set of two that you purchase.  That's the easy part - the hard part is finding this product in stock!  At 4 different Wags stores I have only been able to find these two in the photo.  Good Luck in your search!

Ricola Cough Drops are FREE again this week.  They are on sale for .99 each so grab TWO bags for every coupon that you have.  Stack the $1.00/2 from the 10/17 SS and the .50 off  Wags in-ad coupon (will take $1.00 off for TWO) to get these with .01 overage for each bag - make sure you hand over the manufacturer coupon first and then the in-ad coupon.

56 oz refill bottles of Softsoap are on sale this week, $7.99 each, B1G1F.  Since we use a ton of this soap and I needed a "filler" item to use up some RR's I thought this would be a good purchase.  Not free by any means, but still a good deal.   There's a .50 off coupon from the November ALL YOU magazine  and I stacked that with the .50 off TWO store coupon in the November monthly Wags store coupon booklet to get these for $6.99/2 or $3.50 each.  That comes to about .07 per ounce.  Not a bad price at all going into the winter season. 

Another good filler item to roll RR's is Campbell's soup this week.  Chicken Noodle (regular and low sodium) and Tomato soups are both on sale for .50 a can.  If you need something cheap to add an item to your transaction this is a good one to use. 

Halloween merchandise is on clearance @ 50% off starting today so you can always stock up on Halloween items for next year, and use them as fillers for rolling RR's. 

Lastly, 10/17 SS has a $2.00 off ANY size/variety Purina One dog food coupon.  Wags has the small, trial bags for $1.99 each hanging on a strip in the pet food aisle.  FREE dog food with .01 overage!

Wags Alka-Seltzer Money Maker thru 10/30

 

With all these money makers @ Wags this week I am a little excited about shopping there again!!  Here's another good one that is not in the weekly ad. 

Alka-Seltzer products are part of an RR promo going on right now.   Buy 2 participating products and get a $3 RR, buy 3 participating products and get a $5 RR.  The ad shows Alka-Seltzer Plus Cold and Alka-Seltzer Plus Day & Night, 10 or 20 count packages; however the ad does not show the Alka-Seltzer Plus Fast Crystal Packs but they are part of this promo.  There were tags at the store that I picked them up at (Cherry Valley, IL) showing they were a participating product.  The Fast Crystal Packs (shown above) are on sale for $3.99 each.  There's a $3.00 off coupon in the 10/24 RP.  To make the best of this deal you will need three of these coupons, but you can also cash in on this one if you only have two coupons.  I only had two so here's how my scenario worked out:

2 boxes Alka-Seltzer Fast Crystal Packs = $7.98
2 $3.00 off coupons = -$6.00
Total OOP = $1.98 (plus tax)
Received 1 - $3.00 OYNO RR turning this into a $1.02 MM

If you have three coupons here's what your scenario will look like:

3 boxes Alka-Seltzer Fast Crystal Packs = $11.97
3 $3.00 off coupons = -$9.00
Total OOP = $2.97  (plus tax)
Receive 1 - $5.00 OYNO RR turning this into a $2.03 MM

Walgreens 10/24 thru 10/30

Hello frugal friends!  Walgreens has some good money makers this week on things that my family actually uses so this makes me a happy camper.  I have a MM offer for 4 of my frugal friends so keep on reading! :)

The first MM you will find is on Contac Cold and Flu.  It's on sale this week for $6 and you get a $6 RR in return for purchasing it - FREE cold & flu medicine going into the cold and flu season is a good thing.  Stock up on what you think your family might need for the entire season.  You will want to use the $2 off printable manufacturer coupon found here to make some moo-lah on this one.  Remember you can print it twice per computer.  (sorry, it looks like this print may have met it's max already!)

The next MM is on Colgate Sensitive toothpaste.  I am all over this one because this is my toothpaste of choice!  It's on sale this week for $3.49 a tube with a $3.50 RR in return.  Use the $1.00 off coupon from the 10/10 SS, .75 off coupon from the October ALL YOU or the .$1.00 off printable manufacturer coupon here and make an extra .75-$1.00 on each one you "buy".

Mentos gum is on sale for .99 each with the in-ad coupon.  Use the $1.00 off manufacturer coupon from the 10/3 SS (there's TWO coupons on this page!) to turn each bottle into a .01 MM.  We go through tons of gum in our family so I am loving this one also!  FREE gum is good, but when you can turn it into a MM that's even better.  Make sure you hand over the manufacturer coupon first and then the in-ad coupon otherwise the register will beep and cause cashier confusion!

If you need more gum, there is another good deal on Trident but it's not a MM.  I did get in on this one also because Trident Layers is my kiddo's favorite gum.  It's also on sale for .99 a pack with the in-ad coupon.  Use this .75 off printable from Facebook here, the $1.00/3 coupon from 9/12 SS or the $1.00/2 from the 10/24 SS.  Remember you can print the Facebook coupon more than twice if you log into your Facebook page on a different computer.  These will cost you any where from .24 each to .65 each depending on which coupons you use.  Don't forget to have the cashier scan the in-ad coupon.

This week Wags is doing something a little different.  There are three products that are FREE after mail-in rebate.  This mail-in rebate form prints out at the Catalina machine just like an OYNO does.  At first I wasn't too excited about these because you don't get your money back immediately in the form of a Catalina and you have to wait for your rebate.  You are also limited on the # of offers you can purchase by how many addresses you have to send rebates to.  Too much work for me for a FREE item BUT, once I searched around and found a $1.50 off coupon for the Chestal cough syrup I changed my mind a little bit.  That quickly turned this FREEBIE into a MM!  The coupon is in the 1/24 RP insert.  If you have not been couponing for a long time you probably won't have this insert in your stash so here's where my offer to you comes in.  I had 7 of these coupons but I only have 3 addresses to mail in rebates to.  That leaves me with 4 extra $1.50 off coupons.  The first 4 local frugal friends to leave me a comment or send me an e-mail telling me that they will use these coupons will get them.  One coupon per friend so we can spread the coupon joy around!  Good Luck! :)

FREE Purina Dog Food w/Overage @ Wal-mart

Here's a way to make your budget and your fur-baby very happy!  Use the $2.00 off any Beneful product coupon from the 10/10 RP or the printable that I mentioned here (no longer available) for these Purina Beneful containers of dog food and you will get .40 overage for each one that you "buy".  That's right - these are priced at just $1.60 each at Wal-mart so FREE dog food with a MM!  Cha-ching!  Be sure to check out with a coupon friendly cashier to get the most out of this coupon. 

Make sure you have enough in your cart to cover the overage and if you don't have a fur-baby why not consider donating these to your local animal shelter?  In these tough economic times they would welcome your donation and you can enjoy the overage!

Bufferin Money Maker @ Wags 10/17 thru 10/23

I just KNEW there had to be at least one good money maker at Wags this week and sure enough there is!  After searching the money saving blogs I ran across this scenario that worked perfectly for me this morning. 

Bufferin Low Dose aspirin (130 tablets) are $5.99 each (regular price/no sale).  Use the $3.00 off manufacturer coupon from the 10/17 SS insert AND the $3.00 off Wags store coupon (expires 10/23) in the monthly coupon booklet to get these FREE with .01 overage.  I know, .01 overage is not enough to make this a super duper money maker BUT, when you send in for the "Try Me Free" rebate on the Bufferin that is in the 10/17 SS insert right by the coupon you now have yourself a $3.00 MM!  (rebate form states that the $3 for the manufacturer coupon will be deducted from the amount of the rebate).  Make sure you scan the manufacturer coupon first and then the Wags store coupon otherwise you will have beeps at the register.  Remember you can submit more than one rebate if you have other addresses you can use. 

Another note about Wags for this week, my frugal friend Melissa reminded me that there's a $2.00 off Nivea product manufacturer coupon in the October ALL YOU magazine.  You can use that coupon in lieu of one of the $3 off coupons in my post here to still get the Nivea men's body wash FREE.  Thanks, Melissa!

Halls .55 Tearpad Coupon

Be on the look-out for a tearpad coupon for .55 off Halls.  If you find these, take them to Wags and use them to turn the FREE Halls Refresh (after RR's) into a .55 MM this week!  :)  My cashier at Wags had some of these today and shared them with me, another couponer gave her a few extras that she picked up at a local ShopKo store. Thanks, Rodie!  I hope you can find some of these too!
