Cheez-Its $.50 at Walgreens!

I think this is an unadvertised Register Reward - or at least I didn't see it in their ads and haven't seen it on any blogs yet, but there was a yellow RR shelf tag on them at my store (Mill Creek, WA).

If you printed the $1/1 coupon from the Cheez-Its FB page a couple weeks ago grab them and head to Walgreens!

Buy 2 Cheez-Its (2 for $5 sale)
Use 2 $1/1 coupons
Pay $$3, get $2 RR wyb 2 Cheez-Its
= $.50 each

Updated: Scrubbing Bubbles deal gets even better at Target!

So I told you about my great Target deals last week, but now the Scrubbing Bubbles deal has gotten even better with the addition of a Targer Gift Card coupon in this Sunday's Smart Source (SS) insert!
Here's how to make $$ this week at Target:

      Buy 4 Scrubbing Bubbles Shower Sprayer $6.99

      Use (4) printable $3/1 coupons from Target.com

      Use (4) $5/1 manufacturer coupons from SS 6/13

      Use 1 Free Target Gift Card with purchase of 4 Scrubbing Bubbles products

      = FREE + $5 Gift Card

The coupons actually save you an extra $4.04 ($8 off each $6.99 sprayer).  If you are purchasing other items you will probably get this overage off your other purchases.  That's how I ended up with a negative total last week at Target!

Ok, so apparently the cashier at Target shouldn't have let me use the Target coupons on the sprayers plus the Target $5 Gift Card coupon.  But if you don't use the $5 Gift Card coupon you can still score Scrubbing Bubbles for FREE like I did last week OR if you have more $5/1 manufacturer coupons than you have $3/1 Target web coupons (because of printing limits) and still have some of the coupons for a free Scrubbing Bubbles refill  when you buy a sprayer, you can still score a great deal.  In that case it would look like this:

Buy 2 Scrubbing Bubbles Power Sprayers $6.99
Buy 2 Scrubbing Bubbles Power Sprayer Refills (don't know price on these, but they'll be free)
Use 2 $5/1 manufacturer coupons from SS 6/13
Use 2 Buy 1 Scrubbing Bubbles Power Sprayer get 1 Scrubbing Bubbles Refill free
Use 1 Free Target Gift Card with purchase of 4 Scrubbing Bubbles products
= $3.98 OOP plus get a $5 Target Gift Card

Better Than Free Kraft Dressing at Safeway - PLUS a bonus!

So you have probably seen that you can get Kraft salad dressing on a Better Than Free deal at Safeway this week (the lovely Amber at Coupon Connections NW, as well as The Krazy Coupon Lady and others have been blogging about it).  But, let me tell you, it can get even better!

My local Albertsons has these little recipe books from Kraft in the produce section right now. They include a coupon for Free Produce (up to $1.00) when you buy 2 Kraft Salad Dressings.

If you combine this with the Catalina on Kraft right now this is what it looks like:

Buy 3 Kraft Salad Dressing @ $1.49
Buy at least $1.00 worth of produce (or how about a bag of Fresh Express salad, on sale for $.99?)
Use 3 $1.00/1 coupons from SmartSource in paper 6/20
Use Free Produce when you buy 2 Kraft dressing coupon
Pay $1.47, receive $2.00 Catalina

Free dressing AND salad!

Need a Coupon Binder?

FYI, I just saw some binders that would work great last night in the clearance section at the Walgreens on Bothell-Everett Hwy and 524/Maltby Rd (across from Fred Meyer). They had a couple zip closure ones like I use for $5.99 as well as a few with elastic straps to hold it closed for $7.99.

98% Savings at Target!!!

Whew, what a shopping trip! Mind you, I did all this with my kiddos in tow, so if you're thinking this is all too complicated to manage, take heart!

I hit Target this afternoon for some great deals, and even though they were out of the Aveeno Body Wash and Clean and Clear I was hoping to get for free, and the Old Spice and Oil of Olay that were both going to be moneymakers (bummer!), I still scored majorly.

I got 6 Scrubbing Bubbles shower cleaners, 2 toilet cleaning gels, two fresh brush refills, 3 boxes of band-aids, 6 packages of Rolaids, and two packs of batteries.

Guess how much? Guess again.

$1.54!!!!!!!!

This is my favorite part - check out the total. Before tax it was actually $-3.21. Tax was $4.75 so my total was $1.54. Yay!

If you want specifics, here are the coupons I used

Scrubbing Bubbles shower cleaner: $6.99
$5.00/1 coupon from Sunday paper 6/20
$3.00/1 Target coupon from website
= -$1.01 each

Crazy facts about e-coupons

So as you may have heard there are some great places you can get e-coupons directly added to your store loyalty cards.

Cellfire and Shortcuts both let you add coupons to your Safeway or Fred Meyer cards.

Through P&GeSaver you can also add Proctor & Gamble coupons to your Safeway card.

It takes only a minute to link your cards to these sites and add coupons and it is well worth it.

All of these e-coupons come off automatically when you make a matching purchase and enter your card info at the store. These coupons can be used in addition to any store and manufacturer coupons you may be using for your purchase. This means that if the coupons all lined up right you might purchase a $4 item and have a Safeway store $1 coupon, P&GeSaver $1 coupon, Shortcuts $1 coupon AND Cellfire $1 coupoon and get the item for free.

Here is a real example I did a Safeway a couple weeks ago so you can see how it works:

Purchased (3) Tuna Helper on sale for $1/ea
Used 1 paper coupon $.75/3
Loaded 1 Cellfire coupon for $.75/3
Loaded 1 Shortcuts coupon for $75/3
Total cost $3.00 - .75 coupon - .75 e-coupon - .75 e-coupon = $.75 OOP

Now I'm sure there were folks excited about Tuna Helper for $1/ea (the store special) or $.75/ea (price with only paper coupon), but I'd rather get it for $.25/ea, how about you?

As nice at that is, however, what I discovered yesterday is even more interesting.

It looks like both Shortcuts and Cellfire sometimes release new coupons that are valid while a past coupon for the same item is ALSO valid. So yesterday I ended up with all of the following, unexpired coupons loaded on my Safeway card:

Shortcuts - Wheaties Fuel cereal $1.00
Shortcuts - Wheaties Fuel cereal $.75
Shortcuts - Wheaties Fuel cereal $.75
Cellfire - Wheaties Fuel cereal $1.00
Cellfire - Wheaties Fuel cereal $1.00

I bought one single box of Wheaties Fuel cereal that was $3.99 and gave the cashier a $1 off 1 box of Wheaties Fuel paper coupon.

I swiped my Club Card and guess what happened? ALL the e-coupons above automatically came off. So I saved $5.50 on a box of cereal that cost $3.99. That means that I not only got the cereal for free, but saved $1.51 extra off my bill, making the ground beef I was also buying a lot cheaper. :)

Yay!
