Remember:  I'm only showing you what interests me.  There are far more deals to be had at Target and any other store this week.  For Target Deals check out Totally Target or Attention Target Shoppers.  They both have all of the Target deals.

Rite Aid: FREEBIE

Now, you know I don't generally like to do Rite Aid (although they seem to be coming around with these UP Rewards -- we'll see)  But this is a freebie that I personally NEED and WANT right now --- so why spend money if Rite Aid wants to give it to me for free? 
There was a $2/1 Ecotools Rite Aid in-ad coupon available in the flyer from Sunday's newspaper. Not all areas got it -- check your insert and see -- and check the store inserts -- Rite Aid isn't as stingy as some stores about not giving the in store flyers the same coupons --- You might get lucky!! 
If you can find the coupon, you can get any of the following for FREE:
-Recycled Plastic Ecopouf Bath Sponge $1.99 = FREE
-Loofah Bath Sponge $1.99 = FREE
-Pumice Smoothing Stone $1.99 = FREE
 Jessica’s Coupons spotted this one.  Thanks

More Walgreens: Week of 7/4

Walgreens has graciously carried over two deals that we worked last week.  So in case you didn't get enough of them ---- (it looks like they might be monthly for the whole month!!)

CVS: Free Chocolate

Need a sweet treat to make it through this heat wave?   Well, then make sure to scan your card at CVS this week.   Pretty much everyone is reporting that they're  getting a coupon for $0.50/1 any Milky Way Caramel, Three Musketeer Truffle or singles.
The good news is that Milky Way and Musketeer Bars on sale for $0.50 this week.  That would make them FREE after the coupon.  Thanks CVS!! (by the way:  these are terrific frozen --- especially in this hot weather.  Enjoy)
Thanks to Common Sense with Money for this one.

Here is a hot deal on Kellogg’s cereal at Target:

Remember,  we’re still working on the Kraft, General Mills, Unilever CAT deal --- only buy the items that are on sale and really work for you this week --- you still have a couple of weeks to build up toyou’re your CAT.  This is a very unusual CAT deal --- first off its cumulative – and the register is keeping track. 
Spend $40 >>>> get $5 CAT
Spend $80 >>>> get $25 CAT
Spend $120 >>>> get $50 CAT

They’re all working on SHELF prices ----   Final costs on these get tricky to calculate, because of the cumulative CAT (that means that when you hit $40 you’ll get the $5 CAT, and then the register will keep counting – when you hit $80 you’ll get the $25 CAT and so on….. see why its tricky to figure out what the final costs are??? Bottom line, it ends up as a pretty darn good deal.

Sale price $2.49

Final Cost:  $1.27 each
