Deals

I really have wanted to get on here and blog about some great savings this week, but I've just been swamped with so many things going on!  If you see this in time, though, you might still have another day to take advantage of these deals.

I'll start with Walgreens and CVS, since most people have those around (I think) in the US.  Meijer and Kroger are having some deals as well, so I will include those at the end.

Walgreens

I paid a total of $37.27 for the above items.  That probably seems like a lot for that number of items, but 2 of them would normally be $40 each.  I saved a total of $77.46.  Not my very best deal ever, but it worked out okay.  Plus I have $8 in Register Rewards to spend next time.

Once again, I did the multiple transaction thing, and it worked out okay.  I started with the Complete contact solution, which is $7.99, with an $8 Register Reward.  Also in that transaction, I purchased an "ourchless" headband, that was $2.99, with a $3.00 Register Reward.  I had a $1 off coupon from the box of Contact solution and my $4.50 Register Rewards from last week.

Second Transaction included the two bottles of Osteo, 1 pkg of Carefree ($.99 with coupon from ad) and a box of first-aid gauzy things I got from the clearance aisle because I thought I was going to need an extra cheap item to balance the number of coupons I was using.  My *aging* hubby (ha ha--I get to tease him now and then 'cuz he's 4 years older than I) likes to take, as part of his vitamin regimen, Osteo Flex or whatever it's called (or other brands of the same thing).  Walgreens had them Buy-One-Get-One Free.  These bottles would have been $40 each, but with the BOGO, and two $5 off coupons I had, AND the $8 Register Reward from my first transaction, I got both bottles for more like $22 (or $11 each).

Transaction #3:  I bought another Complete contact solution and 2 Oscar Meyer deli meats.  The OM meats were on sale for 2/$5.00, plus I had a $1 off 2 coupon, and I used the $3 Register Reward from my first transaction.  I received another $8 RR from the Complete, and I will use that next week.

CVS
This picture isn't especially clear--sorry!  For these items, I paid $20.27, which is less than the regular price of the cooler alone.  I saved $37.63, and received $8 in Extra Care Bucks for next time.

I did this in 2 transactions:


The Garnier Nutritioniste products weren't on sale, but if you bought $20 worth, you got $10 back.  It was right when I was looking for facial products with SPF, so it was perfect timing for me.  Plus, I had $2 off coupon for one of the products.  The toothpaste was $2.99 with a $1 Extra Care Buck, plus I had a $1 off coupon for that.  I also used my $12 ECBucks from last week.

For my second transaction, I took the ECBs from the 1st transaction and used them toward this cooler, which was already on sale for $14.99.  We're taking a long road trip this summer and I was thinking about all the bottles of water we could fit in that thing! :)  The men's body wash was a money-maker.  They were on sale for $4.00 each, with an ECB return of $4.00 (limit: 2 of these deals per household).  I also had a coupon for $4 off 2. So, I bought 2 and ended up making $4.00 (not including the ECBs).  And now I have $8 ECBs for next time.

Meijer
Here are just some of the deals I got at Meijer this week!

The Kraft salad dressings are $2 each, and if you buy 2, you get a $1 catalina coupon toward your next shopping trip.  Buy 3 and you'll get $2, buy 4 and you'll get $3.  Plus go here to print off $.55 off 1 coupons and here to print Meijer coupons, $1.00 off 1, which you can stack with the $.55 ones.  I bought 4 bottles, $2 each, had $4 off in Meijer coupons, and $1.65 in manufacturer coupons.  With the $3 catalina I received back, it's like getting them for free, plus a little overage.

The Hellman's mayo is on sale for $2.50.  I bought 2.  Here, I got a $1.50 off 2 coupon from Meijer, which I stacked with two $.75 off 1 coupons, making each jar $1.  I'm sorry, but the $.75 coupons appear to be gone now!

Country Time and other drink mixes are $1 this week.

The Bertolli  pasta sauce is $1.67 this week.  Here, you can get $1 off 2 coupons.  I also used $1.50 off 2 coupons that appear to be no longer available!  You can do some searching on your own and see if you can track down something I'm missing, if you wish. :)  But, anyway, I paid $.22 for each.

The Raisin Bran I got for $.69 (a giant box!), using the $2 coupon they wouldn't take at Walmart. :)

Not pictured:  Ball Park Franks are $.89 this week.
Skippy Peanut Butter is $1.67.  Coupons here and here make them about $1 each.

Kroger:
Kroger has Nestle bottled water on sale--3 for $10 (24 packs).  If you buy 3, you receive $3 back.  I bought 6 cases (stocking up for summer and our trip!) and used coupons, making the price $2 per case, or about 8 cents per bottle.  Sure beats paying $1 or more at gas stations! :)

This is all I've got time for right now, but I'll bet there are tons more deals out there.  If you know of some, post them in the comments section for others to see! :)
