Walgreens: Week of 7/18

Pretty slow week at Walgreens  -- only a couple of deals even worth the time to run over there:

Colgate Total Advanced Toothpaste $3.49
Receive a $3.50 RR
use $1/1 Select Colgate Toothpastes  7/11 SS
Final Cost:  PROFIT $1.00

New Olay Rebate

There is a new Proctor & Gamble rebate out for $10 when you purchase $30 worth of any Olay, Venus, Covergirl, Secret, or Pantene  products from June 30th to September 17th, 2010. You can submit multiple receipts but there is only one rebate allowed per name, address, or envelope.

To Apply for Rebate:

1) Print and complete the rebate from here
2) Include the original dated sales receipt(s) with item(s) and purchase price(s) circled as well as write in UPC codes on the rebate form
3) Mail the completed form and the receipt(s) to:

There is a lot of time left to work this deal and I'm sure there will be some deals on Olay, Covergirl, Secret, Pantene or Venus during this time.  What about the free Olay bars at Target right now??? That might make a nice head start on a sweet rebate deal.

Staples: Week of 7/11

It is definitely time for the back to school cheapies and freebies.  Staples (as usual) has joined the fray.  Remember, they are picky about their limits --- but if you’re a teacher and you bring a pay stub or a school identification (something that proves you really are a teacher) they quickly grant you an exception.  Depending on your local Staples, the limit may become 25 or there may be no limit --- a few (very few) Staples will only double the stated limit for you.  Whatever they offer to do, smile and be sure to say thank you. 

$.01 Deals (Only good Sunday thru Wednesday --- hurry!  And you must spend a total of $5 to get these deals – that shouldn’t be a problem)

Pencils (8 pack) Limit 2

2 pocket folder with fastners  limit 10

Ream of multipurpose paper (you pay $4.99 and get a rebate of $4.98) Limit 2

$1.00 Sale  ---- Limit is 2 on all of these

Pencil box

Staples brand highligters

5” scissors 2 pack

glue sticks (this isn’t such a swinging good price for these)

Novelty Post-it style notes

Colored pencils (not such a great price on these either)

Scotch tape

Dry Erase board (this one I want to look at --- depends on what it turns out to be)

Envelopes (you can do better at Walgreens if you have one)

Photo paper

Legal pads $.29

Mead Envelopes $.69

Posterboard $.33

Most of these (if not all) require you to clip and use the coupon in the Walgreens ad.  Don’t forget to do that…. The register won’t prompt you and the cashier won’t remind you.  You’ll just pay a ridiculously higher price.

The rest of the deals: 

Gillette Proglide razor $9.89 (do you have enough of these yet??)

Get $5 RR

Use $4/1 from 6/6 PG

Final Cost:  $.89

I noticed a couple of other possibilities in the Walgreens ad --- I’ll let you know.

Rite Aid: Week of 7/11

I’m back in the land of Price Chopper and Rite Aid for the summer.  And since I’ve had a couple of requests (you know who you are) and Rite Aid is being a little more cooperative lately, I’ll try keeping up with the Rite Aid deals for the summer.  We’ll see after that …..

Don’t forget, Rite Aid has a new wellness program with a card (similar to the CVS card)  Many of the sales and discounts won’t work without the card.  Get yours, organize yours and don’t forget to scan yours.  Also, they’re experimenting with UP Rewards (similar to the Register Rewards program at Walgreens).  Don’t lose them or throw them away.  They are what make the deals work. 

Also, Rite Aid still has the long-standing SCR (Single Check Rebate) program.  File your receipts online as soon as you do the purchase (the sooner you file them, the sooner you’ll know if something didin’t work --- if you shop early in the week and file right away, there’s a chance you’ll have time to correct an error.

Rite Aid has a lovely little $5/$25 coupon that you can put to good use this week.  It’s the same coupon that has been floating around for several weeks now, so if you already printed and used, it – no go.  If you’re new to the game, go to RedPlum.com and see if you can find it (it doesn’t show up for me, cuz I’ve already done it – so I can’t give you the link)

Okay, commercial over.  Here’s what looks like potential deals at Rite Aid this week (not sure what I’ll actually do --- I’ll let you know)

Crest Extra White Plus Scope Outlast $2.69

Get $2.69 SCR (at the end of the month)

Use $.75/1 from 6/27 RP
