Price Chopper: Week of 8/1

Most of Price Chopper's ad this week is a yawn --- but the Unilever CAT deal looks interesting:
The ad shows the following products included in the deal:

Dove Shampoo/conditioner  2/$7.00 (or $3.50 each)
Dove Bar Soap 6 pack  $5.98
Dove Body Wash $5.98
Dove Ultimate or Degree  Deodorant 2/$7.00 (or $3.50 each)
Not seeing any Dove coupons out there ????

Axe deodorant $4.00

There aren't that many coupons out there for these products (hoping for this week??). But remember CAT deals run off of shelf prices, so maybe the difference between shelf and sale prices will make this a good deal.  I'll try to check shelf prices next time I'm in PC

Stop and Shop: Week of 7/30

I was in Stop and Shop earlier today (cleaning up on GM cereal and granola bars) and I noticed a few deals that start tomorrow that are worth noting ----  Remember there are dollar doublers in the flyer this week --- that means they'll double a coupon that is $1 for you with the dollar doubler coupon.

Target: Cranberry Juice Week of 7/25

I'm still hunting around for good deals at Target to supplement my planned Kashi trip (its a shame when you're that addicted to a granola bar, isn't it???  I really want to make the trip worth my time and energy -- so deals besides just the Kashi are on the menu)

Use this on the Sports Tape and Sports Underwrap priced at $3.99 to get them free.


Thanks Crystal!!

Rite Aid: Week of 7/25

Okay, Rite Aid is better this week.  I can handle this – some nice freebies to work with.  I also got some information on how the UP rewards seem to be working. 

It appears that they DO double (unlike Walgreens RR) – in other words, if you buy 2 of the item, you get 2 UP rewards.  They also seem to stack – you can buy multiple UP items in one transaction and you’ll get all of the UP rewards on your receipt.  All good news – I might be ready to give this a go and make some money at Rite Aid too. 

Colgate Advanced Sensitive toothpaste (some other varieties seem to work as well, but this one is a sure thing)  $3.00

Final Cost:  PROFIT $1.00

This also qualifies for the Oral Care SCR #556 –  Buy $15 get a $5 Gift Card OR buy $25 get a $10 Gift Card --- so save the receipt and enter it.  There are several freebies and moneymakers this week that qualify for that SCR, so you may be able to turn this into a real moneymaker.

I know, I know, --- I don’t do diaper deals – but someone I love uses these like crazy in the car for cleaning hands – and we use them occasionally to take paint off older hands so I’m stocking up --- Free is free, after all.

CVS: Week of 7/25

I have a $15 ECB that I need to use up this week --- and I find the larger denomination ECBs really challenging to use.  So my goal is to put together one transaction of totally free and moneymaking items to break up my $15 ECB into smaller denominations that are easier to use (and won’t expire until August – this is one is expiring NOW)  Fortunately, this is an easy week to do this with ---- go make money at CVS, friends!
