While the $10 off $40 coupon is on, I suggest you buy some FAR items as well as some things that you need, so you are essentially using the overage you make on the FAR items to get the items you actually need free. For instance, Huggies diapers are a decent price this week $9.49 plus $2 RR, so if you need them, make them part of your transaction and you will end up getting them free. Also, think of the $10 off $40 as 25% off and look through the ad this week and see what items would be worth purchasing with that additional savings. For instance:
DayQuil and NyQuil Plus are $4.99 (3.75) - $3 RR = $0.75
Reynolds foil wrap $.089 (0.67) - 0.55/1 MC = $0.12
Powerade $0.89 (0.67) - $1/1 MC = -$0.33
Ghirardelli Chocolate bags 2/$3 (2.25) - $1/2 = $1.25 for 2
I've also heard that 2 John Frieda products will get you $5 RR, and they are BOGO 50%off, or 2 for $9.74, with two $2/1 MCs and 25% off with $10 off $40, you will make$0.69.
Good luck!!

Walgreens this weekend (Fri and Sat, Aug 22-23)
Here is one of the best deals ever (assuming it works, I had a little hiccup with my RR printing last night at midnight, but I think I just went when their systems were rebooting).....
Walgreens has a $5 off $20 right now, which is always the best time to buy your rebate items from the ESC. This summer they have been putting them on every other Friday, so I like to wait til the end of the week to make my purchases for that week. The coupon is announced the day before it goes on.
So here is what I did...
2 Bertolli frozen dinners $5.99 ($1/1 MC and $1.50/1 MC)(RR item)
6 jars of skippy peanut butter 3/$5 (two $.75/2 MC)(RR item)
1 Pert Plus on ESC rebate $3.79 ($2/1 MC)
1 package mechanic pencils $0.39
You have to spend $20 after MCs, my total after MCs was about $20.50, with $5 off coupon, what I paid at the register was $15.77. With $5 RR for the Bertolli, $4 RR for the skippy, and ESC rebate for the shampoo, I spent $2.98!!
Here is the other scenerio I plan to do.....
2 Pampers diapers $9.49 (two $1.50/1 MC)(RR item)
2 Degree women's deodarant $1.99 ($1/2 MC)
2 Degree men's deodarant $1.99 ($1/2 MC)
1 Preparation H wipes $3.99 ($3/1 MC here and $2/1 ESC coupon)
$21 is the total after MCs, with $5 off coupon, pay $16 plus tax at register, get $2 RR for diapers, you spend $14, amounting to more than 50% off these sales prices.

Blockbuster almost free movies for your home collection
If you don't already have a "total access" blockbuster membership (this is the online one where they send you the movies by mail), sign up for a free month's trial. If you have had one in the past, you can get another free trial, you will just need to use a different email address.
Once you get signed up, log in and go to the "BUY" section. I looked by genre, and found a few "previously viewed" movies that are old favorites. You want to spend right around $10, cause the deal is $10 off $10. I was able to get these two for $11.21 with tax. During checkout, put in the code "augappreciation." You only get free shipping if your entire order is previously viewed movies, so choose these or its not worth it. I have quite a few of these and I've never had a problem with scratches or skipping. So I paid $1.21 for two movies!

Walgreens Deal August 3-9, 2008
So in Sunday's (8/3) newspaper, there is a $10 MIR for buying 10 Kellogg's products specifically listed on the form (and MCs for these very products surrounding the MIR form). All 10 products must be on the same receipt. The most profitable way to take advantage is to go to Walgreens and buy 4/$10 Kellogg's cereal listed in the ad, then 5/$10 keebler cookies, rice krispie treats, etc. on the second page of the ad. With both deals, you get a $5 Register Reward (RR) to be used as cash toward your next Walgreens purchase. Depending on your MCs, you can get all 10 items for free, or even make money once you send in the $10 rebate.
Here is what I did:
2 Raisin Bran ($1 off 2 MC)
2 Fruit Loops ($1 off 2 MC)
4 Keebler cookies (two $1 off 2 MC)
1 Cheez it crackers
1 Rice Krispie Treat
So with my $4 MC savings, I paid $18 plus tax at the register, received $10 toward my next Walgreens purchase in RR, and will get $10 back by MIR. I MADE $2!!
HINT: if you only have access to one set of newpaper inserts (I have two, thus why I had two Keebler coupons), get 2 boxes of Rice Krispie Treats in exchange for two of my Keebler cookies and use $1 off 2 MC for my same deal.
The only downer with this deal is that you have to send in all the UPCs from your 10 products. I have had problems remembering this in the past and thrown away packages. I recommend getting them all up front, even if this means putting products in plastic bags.

Welcome!!
Natalie and I decided to start this blog so that we can share all the deals we aren't reading about on other blogs or those we spin off of other people's ideas....so just one more place for you look since we all have different needs. I have to preface any further posts with my thoughts on bargain shopping. It's fun! It gives you a high! My family is not particularly stretched for money, so I often get teased about my obsession with finding deals considering the amount of planning it requires in my busy life. My retort is that every penny I save, I can use toward something else. It just makes sense to get the best deal you can, doesn't it?
RiteAid and Walgreens
I'll let Hilary post her awesome Walgreens deal. This is what I've found at Walgreen's and Riteaid this week:
First, at Riteaid, they have got free after rebate (FAR) deals that end today, Gillette razors and shampoo, Nice'n Easy hair color, GE light bulbs. They also have RENU contact solution FAR plus there's a $1 MC (manufacturers coupon) at Coupons.com, see link to the side, which means you'll make $1!. They also have FAR Olay skin cleanser and Revlon nail polish.
As for Single check Rebates (SCR) they have Infusium shampoo with a $2 SCR add to that the $3 MC in this weeks paper which makes it $1.
They also have a $2 SCR on Cutter insect repellent, add the $1 MC which makes it $1.
The things I'll be purchasing at Walgreens this week.
If I can find it, I'll be getting the FAR walgreen's water pitcher filter. I have switched over to a water filtration system, to do my part for the environment, I've also noticed it has drastically reduced our garbage output. It seems to work out to be just about the same price to do this than to buy the bottled water.
Also, if you live in Idaho Falls, this week only, the Walgreen's ad has a coupon for $3 off $10 purchase if you go to the new store. Also in this weeks ad is a coupon for a $25 giftcard for a new or transferred prescription.
I will also be getting the mix 'n match cleaners 2/$3 after MIR (Mail in Rebate) of $2 on 2. I will combine my two $.75 Shout coupons to the rebate to get 2 Shout Spray for $1.50. I also have a scrubbing bubble coupon and windex coupon for the same amount that I could also combine to get 2/$1.50.
Walgreen's also has a coupon in ad for 25% off Printer Cartrige Refills.
There's also a Walgreen's in ad coupon for $.99 Dawn dish soap. Combine with $.50 MC to make it $.49.

Welcome!
Welcome from Natalie and Hilary, we are sisters who enjoy sharing our great deals. FYI many of our deals use Manufacturer's coupons from the Sunday paper. We highly recommend finding someone who gets the paper who would let you have the coupons, or subscribing to your local paper. It is worth the money you will save each week. We keep EVERY coupon unless it's something we KNOW we won't buy, even if it is a great deal, like pet coupons because we don't have pets, but other than that we keep them all because you never know what kind of deal you'll run across, and just wish you had the coupon. We also use a lot of online coupons and have listed the sites we use for that. We hope this site will help you find some great deals here in the future. I've also posted an online lingo list so that you can understand what we are even blogging about!
