Walgreens Buys This Week - July 18-24

The pickins seemed slim at Walgreens this week but there are a couple of good deals.

These Ziploc bags (30 count) are a good price after using the $1.00 off coupon from the July Coupon Booklet that you'll find in the front of the store and a $1.00 Manufacturer's coupon. It makes them $1.50 per box which I think is a fair price for a box of 30.

You can also pick up FREE Colgate toothepaste this week so it may be worth a few trips to the store to build your stockpile! Add in the $1.00 off coupon from the 7/11/2010 Smartsource and you've got a small MONEY MAKER! (Be sure to buy some other item that costs the $1.00 so that the register does not beep. Hey, it's a good time to stock up on some school supplies AND toothepaste!)

Also, the Hamburger Helper is $.99 per box. Add in a coupon for $1.50 off 3 and you can stock up on that at $.49 per box. I don't have a circular date for that coupon but I KNOW it's in your circulars!

$.05 for a Broom & Mosquito Repellent!

ACE Hardware had a great 3-day sale over the weekend and I just had to go in and see what I could find! I really scored on a Broom and this can of Cutter Mosquito Repellent. I like keeping a broom in the back of my pickup during the winter so that I can easily clean the snow off in the winter and this one was perfect for the job.

After Ace Rewards, Sale prices, In Store Scratch Off Discount, and a $1.00 coupon for the Cutter I paid the cashier $.05!!! The cashier was dumbfounded! The look on her face was priceless.

It all adds up!

FREE FlameDisk

There's a new product on the market to use when grilling instead of charcoal. It's called FlameDisk and is a really great idea for those camping or on the road and grilling meals along the way. It would be even in the backyard. After being lit you can begin grilling within 3 minutes! When you're done all you have to do is douse it with water! Yahoo!

I received a coupon for a FREE one back in June but had not found them in any store until this weekend. I found them in the Owatonna Target on CLEARANCE for $2.48. There are also coupons for $1.00 off in the 6/27/10 Red Plum. Definitely worth trying or stocking up on if you've got a road trip coming up!

Rubbermaid Produce Saver

Here's a great example and reason for collecting those tear pad coupons when you see them in stores! I found these manufacturer coupons a couple of weeks ago and grabbed a few and put them into my coupon book. This weekend I found the small size Rubbermaid Produce Saver at HyVee for $2.99 and got a canteloupe for $.50! These Produce Savers do really work!

Kwik Trip JULY Coupons

I know that I missed reminding you all about the July Kwik Trip coupons that come in the newspapers on the 1st Wednesday of the month but I want to remind you all that there are 2 SUPER COUPONS in it this time along with all of the gas and coupons off on other items.

There is a coupon for GET ONE POUND OF FREE BANANAS, ONIONS OR POTATOES and a coupon for a FREE LOAF OF BREAD OR BUN PACKAGE.

Don't forget to use these valuable coupons. They expire on August 17, 2010!

Dress Barn

I have a Dress Barn charge card and get sale mailings. The latest mailing includes a great 25% off items that are already reduced 50% or more when you use your dressbarn credit card or 20% off when you use any other form of payment.

Now's the time to scour those Dress Barn clearance racks! There is always a good buy in there and add this great coupon to it to get 75% off or MORE!

The way I handle my Dress Barn charge card is to sign up for it and get an immediate percentage off my purchase. Next write a check for the amount of the charge and give it to the cashier. This way you get notified on all of the discounts but have no bill coming in the mail because you pay it off instantly. I sometimes do this at J.C. Penney and it can be done at Kohl's also. It does take a strong will to pay instantly but it is worth it to get all of the discounts.

It all adds up!

UPDATE to Famous Footwear post

I almost forgot this item and it could mean a 20% discount for you.

The coupon booklet at left is being handed out at check out when you make a purchase at Famous Footwear right now. There is a 20% off your entire purchase coupon in it! I suggest that you buy a pair or two of those cheap socks, pay and get the 20% off coupon. Then go shopping for clearance or school shoes and then use the 20% coupon when paying! Why not? Believe me there are a lot of people doing the same thing!

It all adds up!
