CVS: Week of 1/18

I have a million or so ECBs from that huge pre-Christmas deal where we got tons of stuff free after ECB plus got to throw coupons at them as well, turning them into moneymakers. So, I'm rolling ECB fast and furious --- and looking for things we need or want that I can use to burn ECB. Unfortunately, since I've become a dedicated couponer and CVSer, there really isn't much that I need or want from CVS anymore. Really.

So -- here are a few deals that I'm looking at this week (either because I'm rolling ECB like a madwoman or because its a good deal for something I'll actually use or donate)

Get a Free CVS $5 Gift Card wyb $15 of specific Hershey Products Limit 1

with Valentine's Day coming up, I'm thinking this is a pretty good thing. We blew through a ton of the free chocolate I got before Christmas with the gingerbread house making extravaganza at our house. I don't need to eat more chocolate, but we do need to restock.

Use the following coupons to make the deal a deal

Always Be Nice!

I mean it!! Your mother was right. You definitely catch more flies with honey. Always, always, always be nice. Even when you don't have to be nice. Even when you're frankly entitled to be very not nice.

But none of that means that you should be a door mat --- you still stand up for yourself, you still assert your rights. But play nice. Someone will appreciate it. And sometimes, that someone will demonstrate their appreciation in a way that you will appreciate even more.

Here's what happened this weekend:

I went on a shopping spree with some Christmas and birthday money -- I was looking for clothing suitable for work and also checked out some household clearance stuff.

First incident: Talbots Outlet.

I love Talbots Outlet --- love, love, love it. I am able to buy good quality clothing of classic styling for prices that are usually less than I would have to pay for cheaper quality, trendier stuff at Marshalls, Kohls, etc. And now, they've started a rewards program for those of us who really don't want another credit card in our wallets. So, I had signed up for the rewards program and they gave me a little card -- the usual stuff. Well, when they went to ring me up --- the computer didn't show my card as having anyone's name and information. So the clerk (who was terrific, by the way) carefully entered all of my information again. At which point the computer refused to accept any of the information because "the card is already in use". She attempted this again with assistance from her manager (also a terrific lady). Still no go.

At this point, she phoned customer service and related the problem to them. Customer service informed her that this was a known problem and that she should just go ahead and ring up the sale anyway. Terrific Clerk clarified -- the customer will still get her points? I watched as a look of astonishment spread over her face before she repeated back to the CS rep, "so she won't get her points, but she should just call you? That's why I called you for her." Finally, she hung up the phone, having gotten no further than that. She patiently explained this to me, all the while shaking her head and muttering about how ridiculous it was that she had to tell me to do this.

I calmly thanked her for trying, laughed and suggested that customer service might possibly regret this move when I got done writing a letter and phoning, and assured both the clerk and the manager that I appreciated their efforts and in no way held them responsible.

She rang up the sale --- in the pile of items was a bracelet that I was toying with buying. I had asked her previously to check whether it was the marked price or subject to one of Talbots Outlets many percentage discounts. It was priced as marked, but the manager came over and whispered to her to take a 60% discount on it as a thank you and an apology for all of the trouble. Thank you indeed. Later, I wandered through the regular Talbots and discovered it was a current season item and was selling for more than the tagged price in Talbots regular stores. And, for the record, no way would I have even thought of paying the regular price.

Second incident: Coldwater Creek

Coldwater Creek was having a clearance sale that puts things just about in the high end of my budget. Most of their stuff is a little flashy and loud for me, but some of it is classy and well done. I thought I'd look around. I picked up a jacket that I was considering -- and continued to look around the store. A saleswoman asked if she could set up a fitting room for me --- sure (truthfully, I didn't need a fitting room at all, but I do enjoy the feeling of being catered to and taken care of like that -- so why not?) I also found a skirt that I deemed worthy of consideration and took it back to the fitting room with me. When I arrived, another customer had taken my jacket, tried it on, and claimed it as her own. The saleswoman was in a state --- she was genuinely upset that this was happening. I was not so upset --- I wasnt' all that committed to the jacket -- and the woman had probably just saved me from a marginal purchase. No problem. So I was nice. I tried on the skirt -- the sales staff continued to sputter and fume. I liked the skirt (I liked the skirt alot). I went to the sales desk to buy the skirt. I ended up with a 30% discount off of the sale price to apologize for all of the trouble and to thank me for not making a scene.

Third Incident (still the same day)
I phoned customer service at Talbots. I explained what had happened to the representative. I was fully prepared to do battle. I was ready to request the supervisor, ready to write a letter, ready for whatever. The representative was nearly speechless!! "They said to do what?", she exclaimed. "You've got to be kidding!" She then quickly took my reward number, re-entered the name and information (she had some trouble with that too, but was able to overcome it), reinstated the points from the sale earlier in the day, and then apologized for the fuss and credited my account 200 reward points for my trouble. Thank you very much.

So, mom ---- you were right. Be nice --- be very, very nice.

Rite Aid: Week of 1/18

I'm still not a huge Rite Aid gal --- but when they offer me stuff for free, its hard not to love them. So, here's what I'm getting at RiteAid this week (remember there are way more deals to be had, I'm just not choosing them. This just represents me.)

Free Stuff
GE Light Bulbs (Soft White Longer Life 2 pk.) $2

Eligible for $2 SCR #110 (limit 1)= FREE after SCR!

Mentos Gum 2/$2
Use $1/1 Mentos Gum MQ (12/14 SS)= FREE after MQ

Use $1.50/2 MQ (1/18 RP)= $.25 ea. after coupon and SCR

Walgreens: Week of 1/18 Rolling Register Rewards

Pretty good week at Walgreens, especially if (like me) you have Register Rewards to roll over. I'm looking primarily at two deals to roll my Rewards:

Deal #1
Skippy Peanut Butter (I already have a ton of it in my pantry from the catalina deal at Shaws a while back, but peanut butter is always good for the food pantry!)
Buy 8 jars of Skippy at $1.99 a jar --- $15.92
Use $1/2 coupons from 11/16 RP (yep, I still have 4 of them, no problem)
$11.92 due to the cashier --(I'll pay with my $10 RR and $1.92 cash)
Get $10 back in RR

Deal #2
8 Twin Packs of Bayer Aspirin at $2.50 each ---- $20.00
use 8 of the $1/1 coupns from the 1/4 SS
$12.00 due to the cashier (pay with old Register Rewards again)
Get $10 back in RR

Free Finance Book: Suze Orman

I'm not the hugest fan of Suze Orman--- but the lady makes some sense. She's hooked up with Oprah to offer everyone a free copy of her new book the 2009 Action Plan. It comes as a PDF download -- and after that you can print it, move it from one computer to another, download it to a Palm or Ipod -- or whatever else your little heart desires. Biggest of all -- you can actually read it and do what it says and be in a better place financially next year than you are right now. That's a deal.

Its only available until January 15th, so don't procrastinate!! Go here and download it now --(there are directions once you get there-- don't be scared, you can do this)

Rite Aid Coupon

And to go with that trip to RiteAid --- a lovely little discount coupon --- courtesy of the NBA (not anyone I would have anticipated!!)



You can get $5 off $25 purchase coupon until 03/31/09
This coupon is currently available at nba.com


Get $5 off a $25 Purchase:Coupon good thru 06/30/09. This coupon can only be used towards one purchase which includes at least $25 of eligible product. No cash can be given. This certificate is not valid on purchase of prescriptions, prescriptions co-pays, Medicare or Medicaid prescriptions, lottery tickets, tobacco, alcohol products, money orders, gift cards, stamps, licenses, other mailing services or any other items excluded by law. May not be combined with any other offers. Not valid if duplicated.

RiteAid 1/11/09

I don't do too much at RiteAid usually. Their program is a bit different but somewhat similar to the ESRebate program at Walgreens --- you shop all month long,, keep track of the receipts, enter them into the online site -- and you get a check back at the end of the month --- they're a little slow getting the checks out and thre is no gift card option etc --- And (like Walgreens) you can only do one rebate check per address per month. So don't cash in too soon.

Anyway here's what looks like it might be worrth the stop this week (especially since they 're not out of my way)

Electrasol, $4.49Get $2 SCR #121 (limit 1)$2.50/1 Finish/Electrasol Powerball Tabs, Gelpacs or Quantum (SS 1/4/09)FREE after coupon and SCR!

Excedrin, $1.99$2/1 Excedrin Back & Body/PM, any 24 ct.+(SS 10/19/08)FREE after coupon!

Ziploc Bags, $1.49 (w/ in-ad coupon)$1/2 Ziploc Bags (SS 12/7/08)$1/2 Ziploc Brand Bag (SS 1/11/09)$0.99 ea. after coupon!

Speed Stick Deodorant, BOGOBOGO Speed Stick 24/7 Antiperspirant/Deodorant (SS #2 1/4/09 regional-- not everyone got this coupon --- you have to check what you got and see if you were lucky)FREE after coupon! (deodorant is another product I simply do not pay real money for anymore -- not when I can get it for free so often -- like this. Remember -- you can do this deal as many times as you have coupons for it)

Reese’s Whipps, 2/$1$1/2 Hershey’s Reese’s Whipps, exp. 03-31-09 (SS 01/04/09)FREE after coupon!

Walgreens for 1/11/09

Here's what my shopping list for Walgreens will look like this week. There are many other deals to be had so don't necessarily stop looking here --- but these are the things that work for me.

Free or Almost Free

Oust Air Sanitizer $3.79 B1G1 Use B1G1 free coupon from 1/4 SS insertFinal price: FREE (I don't know if I actually want this or not yet, but having a dog in the house, air freshener is never a bad thing, I guess)

Windex Glass Wipes $3.79 B1G1 Use (2) $0.40 coupons from upcoming 1/11 SS insertMail in full rebate from upcoming 1/11 SSFinal price: $0.80 overage for two minus cost of stamp (I need to look at the rebate form and see how it works, but I'll probably do this one)

Colgate Toothpaste $2.79 B1G1 with insert couponUse $1.50 from September All You magazine or $1.00 coupon from 1/4 SS insertFinal price: 2/$0.79 or $0.21 overage (I don't usually pay actual money for toothpaste, but this is cheap enough that I might do it)

Aquafresh Toothpaste $2.99Use $2.00 EasySaver couponUse $1.00 printable coupon or $0.75 coupon from 1/4 SS inserFinal price: $0.24 or FREE (same story with the toothpaste --- my Walgreens is good about accepting internet printable coupons, but some of them are not -- worst case scenario, its still very cheap toothpaste)

These aren't free, but they're good enough deals to work for me.

Quaker Oats $3.79 B1G1 with insert couponUse (2) $1.00 printable couponsFinal price: 2/$1.79 (I also have some blinkies that I found in Shaws -- same chain as Albertsons --- they might make the deal even better, have to see)

Sunlight Dishwashing Liquid $1.29 B1G1 Use (2) $0.25 coupons from 9/21 SS inserFinal price: 2/$0.79 (I don't pay cash for dish washing soap either -- but if you need it in the near future -- this is pretty cheap)

Bounty Basics Paper Towel $0.89 with insert couponUse $0.25 coupon from 12/28 PG insertFinal price: $0.64 (I've used most of my Bounty coupons on the Shaws deal this past week, but I think I have one or two left.)


Halls Cough Drops $0.99 with insert couponUse $1.00/2 from 12/7 SS insertFinal price: $0.49 each (Tis the season)

Walgreens Week of 1/4/09

Woo Hoo, it looks like I'll be spending some quality time in Walgreens this week. I'm liking several of the deals -- and I have those lovely register rewards from my FREE Conair hair dryers to use up while I'm at it.
Here's what I'm liking (not an exhaustive list, by any means, but its what I'm interested in -- and I think is a good deal)

• Finish/Electrasol Gelpack 20 ct., $3.49Get $1.50 Easy Saver Rebate (limit 1)$2.50/1 Finish/Electrasol Powerball Tabs, Gelpacs or Quantum, exp. 2-1-09 (SS 1/4/09)FREE after coupon and ESR (okay, okay, so you actually come out one penny ahead on this deal)
• DeMet Chocolate Turtles, $0.99 (do you know how many of these I gave as Christmas gifts this year??)$1.50/1 DeMets Turtles, any 3 oz.+, exp. 3-31-09 (SS 11/16/08)FREE after coupon (you’ll have to either buy several or have the cashier adjust the coupon down --- Walgreens won’t exceed the total cost of the item when redeeming a coupon. So, you could by 4 and use 3 coupons and only pay $.98 for all 4 or something like that. Remember, most cashiers will have no idea how to adjust down the coupon. Be prepared for a standoff and a page to the manager.
• Garnier Fructis Hair Products, $2.99$1/1 Garnier Fructis Shampoo, Conditioner, or Treatment(RP 10/5/08) $1/1 Garnier Fructis Shampoo, Conditioner, or Treatment (RP 11/9/08) $1/1 Garnier Fructis Shampoo, Conditioner, or Treatment(RP 1/04/09) $1/1 Garnier Fructis Style Product(RP 11/9/08) $1/1 Garnier Fructis Style Product(RP 1/04/09) $1/1 Garnier Fructis Style Product(RP 10/5/08) $2/1 Garnier Fructis Walgreens coupon (January ESR Catalog) FREE after coupons!

I love it when Walgreens gives me free stuff.

Walgreens Week of 12/14

I didn't do too well with the Holiday Register Rewards the last two weeks, and now this week they're not doing that anymore (boo hoo). But there are some terrific deals at Walgreens this week. Here's what I see

Russell Stover Private Reserve Luminary $4.99 there are reports of coupons out there from back in August and from this past week, but I'm not finding any of them. But even so, these are beautiful (and the chocolate is yummy) and make nice little gifts for teachers, crossing guards, bus drivers, etc. And if you buy two of them, you qualify for a $10 ESR this month. That makes them FREE!!
Sure Deodorant $2.50 each -- use the December ESC fro $1.50 off. Some folks are also finding printables for $1.00 off, but I've sworn off printables for a while. If you find the printable, you'll make this FREE
DeMet Chocolate Turtles $.99 for the small box. Again, these make nice little gifts, stocking stuffers, or additions to gift baskets. There's a coupon from 11/16 for $1.50 off. Walgreens doesn't give overage -- but you can buy 4 boxes, use 2 coupons, and only pay $.96 for all four boxes. The more of these that you can pile up together, the better the price gets. The computer will keep taking the coupons as long as there is at least $1.50 of cost of the turtles left to absorb it. I did 10 boxes (it'll keep the staff here in candy for a while) and paid only $.90 for the whole pile -- just used 6 coupons
Skippy Peanut Butter (you know I'm not doing this one, I'm still working my way through my stash of peanut butter from Shaws --- but its a fairly good price in the end) 2/$3.00

CVS Says Merry Christmas!!

CVS apparently thinks they haven't done enough yet to make my holiday merry and bright. (I do love overachievers!) Remember Thanksgiving weekend when they gave us a ton of free stuff? Remember how we threw a whole lot of coupons into the mix and turned them all into moneymakers??

Well, here we go again: Starting this Sunday (December 21st) for only two days, CVS is giving all of us a whole 'nother ton of free stuff (Remember to say "thank you". Your mother did teach you manners) Here's what the CVS Santa's list looks like:

I figure I will come out about $11.00 ahead (that's only doing one of each deal -- some of these freebies seem to have limits of more than one. Wow, thank you CVS Santa!!

Free Restaurant.com certificates

This is a terrific idea for the holidays. I'm planning on using some to thank important people like the bus driver, the crossing guard, and the guy that plows the driveway (thankfully not yet this year!!). These are people for whom I am very thankful, but my budget doesn't always allow me to do something nice to express that appreciation. That's exactly what Restaurant.com's feed it forward program is all about.
Restaurant.com’s Feed It Forward™ will donate $30 million in free restaurant gift certificates – over 30 days – and allow you to treat friends, family, and colleagues —anyone deserving—to savings on a great meal out. When you Feed It Forward™, you have the opportunity, every day for 30 days, to enrich lives by giving the gift of meals and memories. Now until Christmas, you simply choose whom to give to, and they will take care of the rest. They'll email those people redemption codes for free $10 certificates to the restaurant of their choice (from the kajillions of Restaurant.com participants -- We had no trouble finding several that appealed to us!) And then, the gift goes on!! Each person that receives a gift through the giving site can help Feed it Forward™, by giving free restaurant gift certificates to others. How can you lose?? So, click here (if you didn't already follow the link above) and start dreaming up deserving friends and loved ones. You can tell them that you think they're grand. And they'll think you're grand right back.

Free Christmas Music!!

Let me start out by saying "I am not an Oprah fan." Don't get me wrong -- I don't dislike Oprah, I'm just not any kind of an Oprah fan. I know alot of people who think the sun rises and sets on Oprah. They are probably the people who buy the books, gifts, etc simply because she recommends them.
I, on the other hand, have two problems going with that whole thing. One, I'm not a huge Oprah fan --- I like some of her stuff, and I deeply dislike other of her stuff. Two, I'm too cheap to go out and buy something just because someone else says so. Heck, I don't even take free stuff just because someone says so.
But free Christmas music for my Ipod --- that is something I can get into. And I don't care one whit that it came from Oprah. Her website has 8 different Christmas songs --- mostly classics that you'll at least recognize --- that you can download for FREE for the next 48 hours (the website doesn't say when the 48 hours began -- so get there quick!!)
The playlist includes

• Faith Hill, "Joy to the World" from the album Joy to the Worldwww.amazon.com© 2008 Warner Bros. Records Inc.
• Tony Bennett, "I'll be Home for Christmas" from the album A Swingin' Christmaswww.tonybennett.net© 2008 Sony Music Entertainment

CVS Black Friday

I am not a Black Friday shopper. I don't like the crowds. I don't like the frustration. I don't like the frenetic energy. And I'm usually nearly finished with my Christmas shopping by the time Black Friday rolls around.
Add all of that up --- and factor in the amazing deals that I get on a regular basis --- and there is just no point in going out on Black Friday for me. We usually go up into the wilds and get our Christmas tree on the day after Thanksgiving (the plan for this year, as well)
However --- I'm breaking my usual Black Friday policy just a wee bit. I'm not going near any of the malls, any of the shopping plazas, any of the big box stores. I AM going to my favorite drugstores (all of which are free standing stores without the hassle of the parking and crowds). Why am I suddenly making this abrupt policy change?? Well, the deals are just beyond --- they're simply too good to pass up.
Southern Savers has mapped out the CVS strategy (this woman is GOOD!) I've pasted her plan here for you --- but go on over and check out her blog --- she's tremendous.

The Grand Plan. This is what I will do Thanksgiving morning using the coupons that I have. I have done this starting with no extra care bucks to make it easy for anyone that is just starting. I do have $15 ECB’s remaining from last weeks Duracell deal, to use those add transaction #2 and #3 together (remove the .50 cent filler item) and pay with the $15 ECB from last week.

Since I blew it with the Duracell deal and ended up with a $30 ECB (how the heck am I gonna spend a $30 ECB --- my totals are always under $10) I'm going to have to make a few adjustments to her plan --- but I'm loving that the bulk of the work is done for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Walgreens: Week of November 23rd

What am I thankful for this Thanksgiving?? I'm thankful that I learned to play the drugstore game!! And I'm thankful for the grocery stores and their generosity when it comes to coupon shopping too. (More about that later) For right now --- let us give thanks for Walgreens.

CVS Week of November 23

Thanksgiving is upon us. And CVS (and Walgreens) have given us much to be thankful for this week.

Buy 1 Maybelline Mineral Power Liquid Foundation at $8.99, Get $8.99 ECBs (Limit 1)
Use $3/1 coupon from 10/26 RedPlum or $2/1 coupon from 9/21 RedPlum
You end up making $2-$3 (depending on which coupon you have to use)

Buy 1 Right Guard Professional Strength Deodorant (solid 1.8 oz. or aerosol 6 oz.) at $7.99, Get $7 ECBs (Limit 5)
$0.99 after ECBs

Duracell Batteries--on sale for $2.99 each--This is a continuation of last week's terrific deal on Duracell. --- Last week you could make ECB on the deal. The ECB are gone this week, but the terrific sale prices are still in effect. Hunt around and try to locate the $5/2 CVS coupon tearpads, (right on the battery display in my CVS) Then use the $0.75/1 or $1.50/1 coupons from the 11/16 or 10/26 RedPlum. End result -- some very cheap batteries for the upcoming Christmas battery rush.

Don't forget to finish up the November ECB deals if you haven't already. November ends this Sunday, so you're running out of time!!

My favorite:
Buy 1 Crest Pro-Health Whitening Toothpaste (4.2 oz.) at $3.49, Get $3.49 ECBs (Limit 2)
Use $1/1 coupon from 11/2 P&G
Free plus $1 overage after coupon and ECBs

Finally, the previews all indicate that Black Friday should be tremendous at CVS --- lots of free after ECB items (Thank you CVS!) I'm not usually one to brave the crowds on Black Friday, but I think I might be making a run to CVS that day.

Thanks to the Wandering Peanut for the legwork on this --- finally someone who shops like I do, and shops where I do.

Thank you God, I've found a Shaws!!

Seriously!! The deals at Shaws supermarkets lately have been unbelieveable. My sister keeps calling me from Shaws to brag about the scores she's getting. I keep whining about how I can't possibly do Shaws deals because I don't have a Shaws. I found a Shaws!!
You might have a Shaws you don't know about near you too. Check the Shaws store locator here. Don't do the address thingee --- it lies. Ask it to see the list of all the stores in the state and you might be surprised what's nearby --- I was.

So, get thee to Shaw’s…I mean it! This week they are having an incredible sale which can equal loads of free or almost free groceries. The scenarios are endless for this sale, but with special thanks to the Centsible Mama, we'll try to break down a few so you can see what you can get.

The deal is spend $30 on select items and recieve a $15 coupon to use on your next order. You can continue to roll these coupons with each transaction, making this a huge money saver (and possibly money maker!). The great thing about Shaw’s is that the $30 is based on presale prices not the current sales price. So reaching the $30 mark and reducing your out of pocket expense using coupons can be done pretty easily.

Here are the following sales and the presales price listed. You should double check them and keep track to make sure you meet the $30: (remember $29.99 is NOT $30!!)
