Last Chance Deals and Coupons week of 5/23/2010

Wow - these last few weeks have been rough.  I think I am finally on the mend and feeling human.  I managed to get both boys bathed and in bed all by myself!  I'm still a little weak and a little sore, but all the other issues (stomach flu, dehydration, stitches, etc) are resolving.  My brain is starting to feel less foggy as well!  I have my wonderful hubby to thank - he's been taking the night shift with Buggy, taking diaper duty at night with Baby, and waking up at dawn with Buggy and letting me sleep as long as I like!  What a fantastic hubby!

With all that said, I think I will be able to do a few small deal trips this weekend!  My Aldi's plan was foiled because of a stomach flu relapse, so this will be the first deal hunting trip since EASTER!!!!

Since we are approaching the end of the month, make sure you print out coupons before they are pulled or reset!  Add coupons to your shopper card before new coupons are added.  Last minute coupon printing is a great way to increase your coupon arsenal!  At the start of each month, companies will release new printable coupons or will reset the print limits on past coupons.  If you print at the end of the month and the limits reset at the start of the month, you can print more in just a few days!

Now for a few store-specific deals you may want to do!  First of all, now is a great time to stock up on picnic-type items!  Around Memorial Day and Labor Day, picnic food and supplies tend to be at rock bottom prices.  Check your grocery circular for some great deals.

Deals I Would Do This Week - 4/25/2010

Since I am still sequestered to my house (I'm 35 weeks pregnant now and hardly any contractions!!!), I can only dream of the deals I would do.  I wanted to highlight a deal or two at the stores in our area that I would definitely do this week!  Maybe YOU can benefit from these deals!

DIAPERS!
Target has diapers on sale this week - Huggies and Pampers Jumbo packs are on sale for $8.99 and when you buy 3 packs, you get a $5 gift card.  That means, without any other coupons, after the gift card (you have to wait to use the GC until another transaction though), your total would be $7.23 per jumbo pack.  Add in some coupons for extra savings!  I have gotten many mailers with $1.50 off Pampers plus have seen them in recent inserts.  Also, Huggies put out the $3/1 pack coupons (expire REALLY soon, so use right away) and there have been coupons in recent inserts.  My Coupon Hunter has both Pampers and Huggies coupons in stock (though to get the Pampers before they expire on the 30th, you may want to do a rush order - she ships from FL).  ALSO, Target recently offered a $1.50/1 pack Huggies coupon that can be stacked.  It is not available for print right now, but keep your eyes peeled in case they offer this one up again.  View all Target coupons here.

Fig Newtons are on sale for $1 this week at CVS.  Become a fan of Fig Newtons on Facebook and get a coupon for $1 off Fig Newtons making them FREE!

Pampers jumbo packs are printing $1 extra care bucks on jumbo packs (limit one).  $8.49 sale price minus $1 ECB = $7.49 - any coupon you have.....

Schick Quattro - $8.99 with $4 extra bucks.  There is a $4 coupon in this week's Smart Source insert which would make this $.99 after coupon and extra bucks.

Rite Aid brand Tugaboos diapers and overnites are on sale for $7.99/jumbo pack (36 diapers in size 3 pack) and qualifies for a $2 rebate.  Limit one.

Desitin and Johnson's baby products - $1 in-add coupon that can be stacked with the $1 coupon from this week's paper.

From Common Sense with Money.  The $5 SCR makes it a MONEYMAKER!
There is an upcoming deal on Aveeno Lotion at Rite Aid.  This deal starts 4/25 but it includes a coupon that’s currently available. 
Starting on 4/25 there will be a single check rebate offer: Get $5 back when you buy three Aveeno products. Then, next week there will be a Rite Aid in-ad coupon for $2/1 Aveeno.  Here’s how to combine the coupons and the SCR to make money on this deal:
Buy three Aveeno Lotion 2.5oz $3.49 each
Use three $2/1 Aveeno in ad coupons
Use three $1/1 Aveeno Daily Lotion or from 4/24 SS insert
Pay $1.47 after coupons

Get $5 back via SCR wyb 3 Aveeno

Check out the STORES tab to print off your copy of the Rite Aid coupon policy if you plan to stack coupons - the policy is very clear and lately it seems that there has been more confusion than normal with Rite Aid staff as they implement the Wellness Card across the nation.

Diaper Deals, Pepsi, and Toilet Paper

Well, we have been scraping the bottom of the barrel as far as toilet paper goes!  We were down to just a couple rolls of the store brand single ply partial sandpaper stuff.  No longer!  I did 2 great deals yesterday and we are set for at least a month or two.  Also, prepare for even more great diaper deals coming up by printing these high value Huggies coupons - just click through the picture!  Hurry - these will reach their print limits quickly!



Target:

•  Target has Charmin 24 TRIPLE roll packs for just $17.99.  That breaks down to 72 single rolls so that's $.25 per roll.  That is the max price I will pay for toilet paper.  Well, I combined that sale price with a $1 coupon from a P&G booklet and paired that with a $.75 Target coupon from a recent insert.  That brought the cost down to just over $.22 per roll.  Not too shabby for the really good stuff.
• Target also has a few deals on Pampers and Luvs.  I didn't do either of these since they just were too much out of pocket for me, but if you are in a diaper crunch, this may be the deal for you.   
• LUVS big pack of diapers (box) is on sale for $16.99.  When you buy 2, you get a $5 gift card.  I know there are some $1 coupons out there from mailers and some of you may still have the $5 coupon from a mailing several months back.  Without coupons, each box would be $14.49 (diaper count varies by size).
• Pampers boxes were around $25 each.  There are Target coupons for $1 to $2 off from a recent insert plus P&G coupons for $1 to $2 off depending on region.  If you are loyal to Pampers, pairing both coupons could get you a decent deal.

 CVS

• What a week to stock up on Pepsi!  12 pack cans are on sale 3 for $10 with $10 extra bucks back when you buy $20 worth.  Here's the deal I did yesterday:  I bought 6 packs for $20.  I used the $5/$20 coupon here (there are no restrictions on area useage and it worked great for me).  I used $8 extra bucks that I had already (scan your card at the kiosk when you go in as the winter spending extra bucks are printing now).  I paid $7 out of pocket (would have been $15 if I had no extra bucks) and got $10 in extra bucks back.  Not too bad as it is - just $1.67 per 12-pack.  Make the deal even sweeter with the Pepsi rebate here.  Make sure you read the fine print to be sure your state is participating.
• More toilet paper!  Charmin bathroom tissue is on sale for $12.99 with $4 extra bucks for the 20 double roll packs.  I had a few other items to get, so I got my total above $20 to use the $5/$20 coupon plus I used the $.25 coupon from the latest P&G insert.  

Rite Aid

• Rite Aid has an awesome new promotion called Grab the Gold.  Purchase $100 worth of participating P&G products and get a $35 Visa Rewards card, spend $50 for a $15 card, and $25 for a $5 card.  These amounts are BEFORE coupons!  Make the savings sweeter by watching videos and printing coupons through their Video Values program here.  Also, make sure to use this great $5/$25 coupon as well!
  
• Hip2Save has some great scenarios worked out to get to the $100 mark.
• Here is another scenario for just diapers and one filler item if you have multiple coupons:  Buy (1) 82 Count (Based on size 4) Pampers $19.99
use $5.00/$20.00 Video Values coupon
 use $2.00/1 Pampers in 12/27 P&G
  $12.99 Out of Pocket
  $19.99 towards rebate.  Do this four more times and your total (separate transactions) will be $99.xx.  Purchase one other qualifying item to get your total to $100 (remember, before coupons!) and you will have paid about $65 out of pocket but will get $35 back.  So, after the rebate, your total for 410 diapers will be just $30.  That would be just about $.07 per diaper!
  

Good Links - Stockup Prices, CVS Coupon, Pepsi Rebates, Target Coupons, Silly Pregnancy Game

Ok - here are a few good links for the day!

• Melissa over at Melissa's Bargain Blog has created a list of what she will pay to stock items in her stockpile.  Remember that prices vary by region.  I found her list to be a super starting point.  I can watch the same items and make note of what the cheapest prices are in my stores.
• Here is a link to a coupon that will allow you to get double cash back (4% rather than 2%) on CVS brand items for this quarter.  Simply print and have it scanned!
• You can also enter the CVS double bucks information on your online account here.
• Here is a coupon for $5 off a $20 purchase at CVS - no restrictions on locations.
• Right around the superbowl each year, Pepsi has some great deals and rebates.  This year is no exception.  Here is a link to several rebates being offered.  Make sure to read all the details - some offers not good in all states.
• Glad trash bags are on sale at Target.  Pair this Target coupon with the $1 insert coupon many areas received and you have yourself a great deal.
• Print all Target coupons here.  Make sure to carry a copy of their coupon policy with you in case of problems.

Last night, I found a link for a silly pregnancy thing.  Supposedly, by entering some random information, this website will predict what your birth experience will be.  I got such a kick out of it!  Here's what mine said - I'd love to hear yours!

The day you deliver, outside will be overcast. Your baby will arrive in
the late morning.  After a labor lasting approximately 4 hours, your child, a boy, will be  born. Your baby will weigh about 13 pounds, 3 ounces, and will be 17inches long. This child will have light brown eyes and a lot of black hair.

Funny things - apparently I  am giving birth to a bowling ball.  Hubby and I both have bright blue eyes, so brown would DEFINITELY be a surprise!  I'm all for the 4 hours of labor thought!

Using the Internet to Save Money

Hi gang!

I wanted to share a few tips and tricks for online shopping and coupon hunting that may help you during this Christmas season.

First of all, I highly recommend forums for information on sales and coupon matchups.  The ones I use are all free sites.  Some of my favorites are:

• Slick Deals
• Hot Coupon World
• A Full Cup

When you join a forum community, plan on it taking a little while to find exactly how to maximize the site for your purposes.  I am just now finding which forums within the communities work best for me.  All three sites have region specific forums that can help when planning shopping trips since prices vary by region.

I also recommend printing coupons for items you will use.  I have a few sites that I love plus I have found one Slick Deals forum that is incredibly helpful as it lists all coupons that are out alphabetically with a guide to where to find these coupons!  So helpful when searching for deals on specific items!

• Slick Deals Printable Manufacturers Coupon Compilation
• Coupons.com
• Couponbug.com

For online shopping, I suggest you use rebate sites.  There are many to choose from!  Some sites give cash back, some sites give points back.  When I know what store I want to use, I compare the rewards between these companies and go with the highest rebate amount.  Here are some that I use:

• Shop at Home - Cash back rebate site.  Print coupons here for groceries, find online coupon codes, get cash back for purchases.  New members get $5 in their account if a purchase is made in 60 days.  Request a check once you hit $20!
• Ebates - Very similar to Shop at Home.  Has no grocery coupons.
• Mypoints - Get paid in points for online purchases.  Points can be redeemed for gift cards.  Read emails for points.  Review websites at their frogpond for points.  Report for campaigns for BzzAgent for points.  Earn points for playing games.
• Swagbucks - I love swagbucks!   I cash out at 45 swagbucks for a $5 amazon gift card.  Since April, I have received $100 in Amazon gift cards plus have $15 pending to clear this month!  Earn bucks by searching the internet.  Earn bucks by recycling/trading in old gear.  Earn 1 swagbuck for every $5 you spend  by shopping online through this site.
• RetailMeNot - This is a great site for online coupon codes!

Remember to use your shopper card at grocery stores to get extra savings.  Add electronic coupons to your card.  These ecoupons do not double like some paper coupons, but they can be paired with paper coupons for extra savings!

• pgesaver.com
• shortcuts.com
• cellfire.com

 Lastly, I LOVE daily deal sites!   My favorites are the WOOT! sites - they have Woot-off's every so often.  Woot-offs offer more than just one deal per day with savings up to 80%!

• Woot
• Woot woot-off tracker website
• Kids woot
• Kids woot woot-off tracker website
• Shirt woot 
• Wine woot
• Target daily deal
• Toys r Us daily deal
• Baby Steals
•  Amazon Daily Deals and Lightning Deals

 Happy bargain hunting!

Rite Aid, CVS, Target, Walgreens deals of the week and more!

Well, I have realized that doing the actual deal and coupon matchup myself just isn't my thing.  There are so many bloggers who have more of a passion to do this and who do it much better than I do.  I enjoy finding and passing along deals of all sorts rather than spending the little time I do have as a pregnant mom of a toddler sorting through all the coupons and deal matchups out there.

With that said, here are some great matchups I have found for this week!  Happy bargain shopping!

• Rite Aid deals this week
• Rite Aid Single Check Rebates are now online!
  
• Target Weekly Deals 
  
• $5 off $5 Hallmark coupon

Target Price Matching Update

I was so excited when Target announced they will do price matching, however, it seems that they just don't quite know HOW they want to handle it yet.  It seems we need to watch their coupon policy site practically daily to catch all the tweaks.  Thank you, Deal Seeking Mom, for the heads up.

The latest update is that Target coupons will now be deducted BEFORE the price match.

Manufacturer Coupons:
Manufacturer coupons will be applied after the price match is made.

Target Coupons:
Target coupons will be applied before the price match is made. If the competitor price is still lower than the price after the Target coupon has been deducted, the ad match can be adjusted to match the competitor's price.

Combining both a Target and Manufacturer Coupons:
The Target coupon will be applied before the price match is made. If the competitor price is still lower than the price after the Target coupon has been deducted, the ad match can be adjusted to match the competitor's price. Once the price match is made the manufacturer coupon will be applied.

Reminder: We accept one manufacturer coupon and one Target coupon for the same item unless either coupon prohibits it.

Target does not ad match a competitors coupon-required offers.

Now, one good option for saving money at Target (and many other retailers) is to take advantage of price adjustments.  A price adjustment is when you take your receipt to Customer Service to receive a partial refund if you find an item you purchased dropped in price since you purchased said item.  Most stores have a limited number of days to do a price adjustment.  Target not only adjusts price for their own price changes, they will adjust to match competitor prices within 7 days of purchase.

What if I've already made the purchase at Target?

No problem. Within seven days of purchase, bring your Target receipt and the competitor 's current printed ad. We will reimburse the savings to you.

One exception to the price adjustments:  many stores, Target included, are not being clear if they will honor price adjustments for Black Friday deals.  Many stores will not honor those special sale prices for adjustments after the fact.  Contact specific stores and try to get your responses in written form in case you have a problem with a transaction.

Christmas is coming!  It's time to start planning some shopping trips!  In just a couple weeks, Black Friday will be here (the Friday after Thanksgiving) as will some fabulous deals!  Following Black Friday will be Cyber Monday (the Monday after Thanksgiving when fantastic online deals can be had).  To plan ahead, check out this website - it may be easier to use than the site I posted previously.

Here is a list of 119 items at Walmart for $1 or less!  Remember, prices may vary by region.

Get free photo luggage tags from KLM Airlines.  These make spotting your bags much easier in a busy airport.

If you have a Waffle House near you, grab a free slice of pie!
