06/06/11 Trip

The ads this week werent that great but I still managed to get some good deals.  Here is what I did today:

Keep in mind that I buy four papers every week.  I feel that even if you buy two, buy in an even number since most sales you have to buy two to get the deal therefore requiring two coupons.

My first transaction at Walgreens looked like this:

Bic Hybrid Razor $5.99
-$3.00 maf coupon
-$2 RR
$.99 FINAL

Nivea Mens Bodywash 2/$7
-$2 maf coupon
-$2 maf coupon
-$2 RR

FREE  FINAL

Wooden Desk Set (For Chase) $3.49

This transaction also included $11 worth of coupons with a final total of $18.52.


After that we went to another store looking for the reach toothbrushe so here is what else I picked up while using the register rewards I had accumulated:

So heres the scoop....

Ok..so if you've been following on here the different sales that are posted every week then you should be getting some really great deals!  As couponing is picking up so are the inconsiderate people that are going in and clearing the shelves creating out of stocks for the rest of the population that either wants a great deal or merely needs some body wash!

Here is what I found this week:

Pure Silk Shave Cream
$1.99-$1.50 RR=$.49 FINAL
Now these are on the list of what people are clearing shelfs for so if you find it let me know!!

Vaseline Lotion
4/$12-$1 (use four)=$8-$4 RR=$4/4 , thats $1 a piece!

Suave Lotion
4/$12-$1 (use four)=$8-$4 RR=$4/4 , thats $1 a piece!

Caress Body Wash
4/$12-$.75 (use four)=$9-$4 RR=$5/4, thats $1.25 a piece!

Scunci Hair Bands
$2-$2 RR=FREE!

Complete Contact Solution
$7.99-$1 coupon=$6.99-$7.99 RR= BETTER THAN FREE!!!

Tone Body Wash
$3.99-$3 RR=$.99

Little Swimmers Diapers
$6.99-$2 WAG coupon=$4.99-$2 coupon from sunday=$2.99
I have four of these coupons if anyone needs them!

Axe Body Spray/Deodorant
3/$12 with a RR for $3 for every 3
Here is the tricky part with the coupon that was in the paper
$4 each
Buy 4 use 2 B1G1 coupons, get 1 $3 RR, this makes them 4/$5 or $1.25/EA
I did mine in two different transactions to get two RR since I had 4 B1G1 coupons.  Some guy is going to be smelling Super Yummy!

Now if you buy all of these first then buy the rest of the list, you can use your RR to pay for you final totals.  Remember that RR's only come for the initial item, after that they do not print. So if you plan on getting more than one Tone (and Butler Hill did say the have an OverStock of it!) then you have to do them in seperate transactions!!!  I know this can be a pain in the butt but the girls at Butler Hill WAG are super nice (more so than any other one!) so they will know what and why you are doing this.

Oscar Meyer Hotdogs
2/$3-$1/2 coupon=$2, or $1/EA...thats super cheap for Oscar Meyer!
http://www.coupons.com/ for the printable

Listerine Total Care Mouthwashes
$3 off WAG Coupon
So depending on which bottle you pick up here is the scenario:
$5.99-$3 WAG coupon=$2.99-$1 coupon from a few weeks ago if you clipped it=$1.99
these are the big 1L bottles!
http://www.listerine.com/ for a printable

Bayer Aspirin
$3.99-$2 WAG coupon=$1.99-$1.50 maf coupon found in the store= $.49!!!!!!

Jolly Ranchers
$.99
I throw this in because if you are using your RR on items that have coupons already then you will need a filler and who doesnt like Jolly Ranchers??

Remember if you are buying more than one that is getting a RR to do a SEPERATE Transaction AND if you are buying something that gives a RR and you are PAYING with a RR DO NOT use the same RR from the same Manufacturer....It will cancel out the one that was to come out!

I found out today that the Caress and the Suave are both made by UNILEVER so if you plan on getting both of those you will need to do seperate transactions for those as well.  This all may sound complicated but in the end it is worth the savings and eventually you will get a system down that works for you!

Ok so I think this is as good as this program will let me get this....if you want the spreadsheet inbox me your email address and I will send it to you!  I am finding that it is best to get at least one paper on Sunday because you never know what sales will be coming up.  I found several great deals today, especially the Life cereal for $1 a box!  Sunday is when Walgreens new ad starts, the sneak peak is available on Saturday or with the Saturday paper.  I am noticing now that couponing is becoming such a hit, the bigger sale items are becoming out of stocks for Walgreens and they are not getting the items in before the sale is over and/or before your coupon may expire.  Sundays therefore are the best day to get the deal.  I will try to get the list out sooner as I become a pro! :) Also check out Melanies Coupon Train on FB.  I joined this past weekend and I look forward for my first round of coupons!

DEALS THIS WEEK CONTINUED

Ok so I was posting on here last night about the whole Dierberghs thing and the Clean and Clear deals this week when as I was looking for the Clean and Clear link I somehow went to a site that gave me a rogue program that took over my computer....after 2 hours of trying different things to get it off I finally did but lost my post!  SO please make sure that as you are searching for your coupons that you use sites that are trusted!!!

Ok so the whole Dierberghs deal is still on!  Buy 10 Hamburger Helpers on sale this week 10/$10 and you automatically save $6 at the register.  See my previous post for the link to coupons.com (trusted site) and you can print 3 coupons for $.75/3 bringing your total to $1.75 before tax for 10 boxes!!

Clean and Clear....SO if you clipped the coupon a few weeks ok here's the scoop:

I found out from Walgreen's that thier policy on BOGO sales with BOGO coupons is that they use your coupon on the initial item that you buy to get the second one free. This means you get both items free.

What this means if you clipped the Buy one Get one free coupon:

Buy one    $5.99
Get one     FREE
                $5.99
Coupon  -$5.99
2 bottles  FREE

Now if you didn't clip the buy one get one coupon then you can locate the printable one in the coupon database.

Here is the scenario:

Buy one at Walgreens   $5.99
Get one                        FREE   
                                    $5.99
Use 2 coupons $2/ea  -$4.00
Total for 2                    $1.99  before tax!!  (basically $1.00 per bottle!)

Here is the link that I used a few days ago for my coupon:
