Free dog food at Target

If your dog liked the free Purina One from Walgreens, head over to Target for some more!

Target is now carrying (well, some stores, not all) the small bags of Purina One smartblend. These are priced at a mere $1.00! There is a Target printable for $1/1 Purina One Smartblend dog food (any size!).

Now this will beep, probably because it is intended for the big bags, but the coupon says any, so if you have a cashier that can read, you should be ok.

Walgreens, Rite Aid, Target and Wal-Mart (yes, I went to Wal-Mart!)

Made the rounds yesterday. It was weird driving around and buying stuff, putting things into a small car (I'm driving a loaner while my van is in the shop). It really zips around, but I miss my van!

I made my usual Walgreens and Rite Aid Sunday run, but also hit up Target and Wal-Mart for a few deals. I'll be going back to Target for more Sobes! I love those things.

Wal-Mart
Wal-Mart was for Pampers wipes. I wasn't sure I'd find another deal on these, and hey, free is free. Of course the q's beep, and of course the cashier questioned it, but I convinced her they were ok to push through, so she did. *whew*. I think I have ten more of these coupons I haven't clipped yet, so I need to go dig those out before they expire on me.

16 Pampers wipes $1.97/ea

1 Gum $.86
Total tax: $3.08
Total oop: $3.46

Gift Cards Earned: $5.00

Rite Aid
Did the Motrin PM deal 11 times :) Left lots on the shelf, hoping to get a few more with my other q's by the end of the week. A note about the prices- I have a wellness card at the silver level so I get 10% off ALL non-sale items.

Walgreens
I had ordered 20 of the Neutrogena bars but was unable to get in to buy them while they were still 25% off. Darnit. That was a loss of $14! I placed some single photo orders on Saturday night for fillers. I really didn't want a ton of useless crap. Started with $69 in rr's.

Target deals not to be missed this week!

Huge moneymaker on Scrubbing Bubbles trigger things.

Scrubbing Bubbles on sale $6.99
-$5/1 mq 6.13.10 SS
Use $5/1 gift card coupon from 5.23.10 SS (I think it was SS)
=$3.01 mm after gift card
(if you don't have the $5/1 gift card coupon, you could alternately use the $3/1 Target coupon at their website for a small mm. Policy is that you may use one mq and one Targetq per item, so you really shouldn't use all three on one bottle).

~Scenario~
If you need to reduce oop expenses, you could do this:

2 Scrubbing Bubbles Trigger $6.99/ea
-2x $5/1 mq
-$3/1 Target coupon
=$.98+tax
And use a $5 gift card coupon to earn a $5 gift card.

Dove deodorant deal:
Dove $3.49
Dove body Mist (rings up free with bogo deal)
-$2/1 ip x2
-$1/1 Target Dove coupon (you can only use one, the register will kick out the second, stating "coupon may not be used on free item")
=$1.51 mm

Check your Target stores for clearanced candy!

It might already be too late, but run into Target and check the clearanced Easter items. I found bags of the Hershey Kisses special flavors in with the 90% off clearance items. I found one bag of Coconut and a whole ton of bags of orange creme (which, taste exactly like a creamsicle).
These rang up $.29/ea and I was able to use the $1/3 coupon from this week's inserts!

THEN

I will submit HERE for free movie tickets. You submit four UPC codes and get one free ticket.

Free candy and free movie tickets! It can't get better than that.

Possible great deal on Huggies!

Those of you in need of baby wipes might consider running into Target with any Huggies wipes coupons you have. Some stores are reporting Huggies 64ct tubs on price cut, priced at $1.66.

A few good q's available to print

$1/1 Kellogg's Clever Kids Fruit Snacks coupon HERE

Then, a deal at Target- I found Beach Towels in the dollar spot for $2.50 and if you go HERE you can print a coupon for $2/1 "Beach Towel" so gear up for the summer with $.50 beach towels!

I love Sobe Lifewater. I really love it for free.

Target deals you don't want to miss

There are a bunch of really good Target deals right now and I haven't had a chance to get them all typed up, so I'm sorry for the late notice on these, but you have some time with most of them. :)

A word of caution. Target is notorious for being difficult to deal with. My advice is to go armed with a copy of their coupon policy (find it HERE) and practice a little cashier profiling. Their official policy is no overage, but that they will adjust coupons down to allow you to get the items free. (Often you'll have a cashier push through the q's and you will get overage, but I try not to count on it). In my deals here, there are some items that might give overage if the cashier pushes it through, but I'm not listing the overage in case you get a stickler.

Target deals

Some Target deals to look out for. . . as always, don't forget your Target coupon policy when headed to the store. (just in case a cashier/mgr decides to refuse a coupon off a product that is over the value. Policy states they are to adjust the coupon. Sometimes you'll get the overage though...just depends...on the phase of the moon...rotation of the earth...etc...)

I'd also suggest walking the grocery section to see if there are any new tearpad/peelies/hangtags. I found $.50/1 Sobe mq hangtags today! Paired with the $.50/1 target printable I happened to have on me, at $1.08, these were $.08/ea and I am addicted to the orange tangerine flavor.

Publix and Target 12/13

My daughter spent the night at Grandma's house last night so I had to go pick her up. I figured since I was going to be in the area, I'd go ahead and hit up Publix and the Good Target.

First I went to a Walgreens near there to get a pack of diapers since I was out and I could get them free, the cashier was friendly, until he saw my coupons and rr's. Then he became downright rude and hostile. I will be sending an email to corporate. This is not a store I normally shop at and now they've lost me for good. I did get one pack of dipes and a paper, but not without hassle. And a lot of it.

Target next:

More freebies at Target

Besides the free Rayovac, there are several items you want to keep your eyes peeled for. My store is a small store and did not have half of these things, so I am going to hit up the bigger store in Nashville tomorrow while I am at Publix.

Steaz tea, two cans FREE
Buy 2, Use one Target coupon HERE and one BOGO mq HERE for two free. (hand over the mq first, then Target q)

Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate, $.97/ea -$1/1 coupon= FREE
Use $1/1 Target coupon HERE - it will self-adjust to $.97, making this free.
If you buy two and also use the $.50/2 11/15ss coupon, you'll add $.50 overage

Kodak Disposable Camera (price varies) $5/1 Target coupon= FREE (or overage)
This $5/1 target coupon HERE is probably meant for digital cameras, since that is what is pictured. However, it does not STATE digital cameras. Look for the disposable cameras priced under $5 and use this on the camera. Be prepared though, if it beeps, and the cashier puches it through, you may need something to eat the overage.
If your cashier gives you a hard time about the wording, I recommend printing and taking the $1/1 Ghiradelli coupon. It is for "Ghiradelli baking products or candy", but it only has a picture of the candy. It is very obviously for both items. For those cashiers/managers that like to claim it's only for the item pictured, use this coupon as your example. :)

Don't forget to look for your Glade while in there too. You never know- maybe they've restocked. LOL.

Free batteries

I have been more than a little bummed about our region not getting the Rayovac $1/1 coupon for the free battery deal at Target. But this is even better!

Go HERE and enter code 74016761(do NOT copy and paste. You have to type those babies in yourself). You will be able to print a coupon for $1/1 Rayovac batteries. This is a pdf with unlimited prints.

Take these to Target and check out the Dollar Spot. These are $1 at Target.

I tested this today because when I printed these, they were a tad blurry, and I didn't know if they would scan. I have the worst Target on the planet so I thought if I could use them there, they could be used anywhere. ;)

The coupons did not scan on the table-top scanner, but when the cashier used the hand-held scanner gun on them, they scanned fine.

I got 8 packs of batteries for under a dollar (for tax).

With two children under 5, we hae a LOT of toys that require batteries. And you can't beat free!

My deals for the week

I haven't had a chance to post each of my trips, but I hit Walgreens several times this week and Publix once, Target twice and had to buy my daughter (who seems to have grown ANOTHER two inches) a pair of shoes and some tights to wear with her Christmas dress. :)

Walgreens
I basically got all the freebies and moneymakers. I don't have any of my receipts in front of me, but I got a few of each and then blew some rr's on drinks and such. :) Hey, if you can't have fun with the rr's once in a while, what's the point?
Acai berry
Olay Lotion
Olay in-shower lotion
No to Carrots lip Balm (Beauty counter had $1/1 coupons, so got those free with the $.99 sale)
Ecotrin
Character Band-aids
Complete lens solution
Zooth/Stages toothbrushes
Oral-B floss
Dentek floss
Arizona tea
Candy Canes (to make peppermint bark)
Pirate's Booty (which my daughter calls Pirate booties. LOL) -used the 2/$4 printable from the website
Simply Apple Juice
Water

I spent only tax for all these things (and a little over for fills) Probably in the neighborhood of $20 and have about $30 more in rr's than I started with.

Target
Was able to do one more Scrubbing Bubbles deal before the "free" Target gift card q expired, as well as free wipes. I wish I'd had more of those with me b/c the store I shopped had TONS!
25 softpacks Toddler wipes (two trips, one I got ten, one I got 15)
4 Scrubbing Bubbles

Spent oop: approximately $3
Leftover: 1 $5 gift card

Publix
At Publix I couldn't find the Covergirl cheap items or the Sundown (I shop a heavily-couponed store) and the Phazyme I ordered did not come in (come to find out it did not get ordered).

Overage Items
Covergirl eye shadow $2.99

$50 BP gift card
-$10/$50 Pxq
$25 Publix gift card (one in each transaction- did two)

When I went to check out, my total was waaaay off. I have been rolling Publix gift cards and my first transaction shuold have been near $25 (since I purchased a Publix gift card and was paying with one from the last trip). It was only $1.75!!! I later looked at my receipts to try to figure it out and I discovered that the cashier did not ring up 14 of my grainola bars! I will take the receipt with me on my next trip and pay for these. I used the qs for them, but didn't pay for the items. I'll make sure that is corrected.

Total oop including the BP gift card was $5.50. (I will go back and pay for the bars, which should be $23.93)
So that will be $29.43 oop, including the $50 BP card.

Black Friday deals. How'd you do?

So how many of you went out and braved the stores today? Where'd you go? What'd ya get?

I made out pretty good. My Mom came up and watched the kids so I could go out shopping. I went to Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Toys-R-Us, Target, Walgreens, Lowes and Rite Aid. (In that order)

Wal-Mart
I hit Wally-world around 9am, and it was after the first herd ran through so I was pleasantly surprised to find the parking lot only about half full. I found all the toy items I was looking for and a few pair of pjs- none of the other clothes I wanted were in stock. Luckily, before I left my house this morning I remembered that I could lower my oop by buying the Adams collars for overage. :) As I was browsing, I had a list and found several things quickly, but couldn't find the two things I wanted for my son. I looked and looked. Finally I spotted one item sitting by its lonesome on the top of a huge stack of dolls (snagged it!) and after asking an employee about the other item and looking around, I found one in a return cart. So I got the last of each item! *whew*
~So here's what I got:
7 Adams collars $.97/ea
-$3/1 Adams product
1 Corelle dinnerware set $18
4 pj sets $3/ea
2 DVDs $2/ea
1 Playskool Choo Choo Train $9

Total pre-coupon: 99.42
Total oop: $78.42

KMart:
KMart was dead too. Ok, well, it was way busier than KMart EVER is! But still dead. The toy items I was looking for were gone, but I did get the clothes I wanted.

2 pair pants for my daughter 3/$10
1 long-sleeved shirt for my daughter 3/$10
3 Wonderkids clothing items for my son 3/$10

Wow. Toys-R-Us was a MADHOUSE and I got there around 11am. I can't imagine what it must have been like at midnight when they opened. I guess that's why some woman at my TRU got TRAMPLED!!! (go HERE for story) I found two items out of five. I wanted to get my mitts on one of the Little Einstein rockets for $9.99 that was normally over $45. Unfortunately that was not meant to be.

1 Doctor kit $5.99
1 Clipo Explorestation $14.99
Total oop: $22.97

Target
I mostly went to see if they had the Little Einsteins item to price match (didn't know if they had it or would pm it, but it couldn't hurt to try). They didn't have it and really didn't have any "have to have it" deals. So I bought paper I needed and was on my way.

1 ream 750-sheets paper $5.59
Total oop: $6.01
-Used $5 gc
Total cash paid: $1.01

Walgreens
After all this money flying out of my wallet (which, my very stingy wallet was VERY un-used to! LOL!!) I had to see some SUPER deals so I went to my beloved Walgreens. :) I had already shopped yesterday for all the BF deals and a bunch of toys. Yesterday I spent about $24 (all tax) which means I saved approximately $240, plus the savings on the sales price.

Lowes
Went for a shelving unit. To store all my grocery overage in my garage. LOL We also needed an air filter for our house.
Here's a tip for you Lowes shoppers. Any time you plan on shopping at Lowes, run by the post office. Pick up a "moving " envelope. You know, it's the envelope you get to change your address. Inside the envelope, there are coupons. There is ALWAYS a 10% off your total purchase coupon for Lowes in there.

1 Shelving unit $44.98
2 Storage bins 2/$5.98
1 House Air Filter $8.87
-10% off total purchase q
Total oop $58.95

Rite Aid
Alright. I've been trying to track down the MP3 players that are $29.99 with a $10scr. These are regularly priced at $50. Unfortunately my regular store HAD 8 to 10 of these a few weeks ago ...until they got shoplifted. The manager was telling me he has been ordering them for weeks and has been unable to get them in. RATS!! This is a SUPER deal!! You pay $29.99, use a $5/25 coupon, and get $10 scr back. Making this $15. !! *sigh*
I also want to mention that I was playing by the rules regarding the razor purchase. Some of the razors were labeled "1 per customer" I shopped RA yesterday and only got one of each type. I did the same at the first store today. (Some weren't labeled, so I got a couple of those). But when I got to the second store, here was a woman shelf-clearing the razors. She bought all the disposables and all the women's intuitions (she didn't see an endcap of sale items, so I was able to get three). I watched her check out and the cashier didn't care that she got them all. So I figured what the heck, I'll take the men's ones that are left. Sinking to her level? Perhaps, but I did need them for my gift baskets!

First store (not my regular store, looking to see if they had the MP3s- they didn't)

Super deal on wipes at Target

There's a $1/1 Up&Up wipes (excluding trial) Target printable HERE. The price of these varies, but today I found the 48ct Toddler flushable wipes for $.97 (on price cut). These are regularly $1.27, so when the Target q is scanned, the register automatically adjusts it to $.97. No beeps, no drama.

I got ten packs of wipes, three Glade tins and 4 Glade refills for $3.15 and got a $5 gift card back! (Although, looking at the receipt, I *think* the cashier accidentally scanned an extra target $1q. It's impossible to tell- their receipts are so convoluted!)

Other wipes were priced from $1.27, $1.57, etc.

Target Scrubbing Bubbles deal updated

So I originally posteed abot this deal HERE. I was originally unable to make it work because of the order I handed over the q's at the BAD Target when I posted, but I wanted to let you all know that when I went to the GOOD Target, it worked great. I bought 12 Scrubbing Bubbles- and they all had the $2/2 peelies! (there were tons and tons left too- so no shelf-clearing ;) )

I did the deal in fours- three transactions, and it worked exactly as I said. The cashier was in AWE! LOL!! Young guy, of course. He asked me all sorts of coupon questions and told me if he ever ran into me at Publix he was going to ask me to shop for him. :)

Then, today I put on my big girl britches and went BACK to the BAD Target to try to do the deal (handing the q's in the correct order this time). This store has the Scrubbing Bubbles cheaper, so it was more of a MM. I had two $1.50/2 Target q's left- good for one more deal. I figured if they gave me a hard time I'd just take my q's and go. They didn't! I found a young guy cashier (love them) and he didn't even question it!

I needed California Baby Callendula Cream and it is $11.99 (*gasp*), but with the gift cards I had- I only had to pay $.70 oop. The rest was bought by SC Johnson.

Oh, and since I still haven't gathered my q's for the SC Johnson rebate, I'll use these, making this even MORE of a mm!
