The Unilever deal is my favorite deal at Walgreens this week. There are some RP coupons from 8/30/09 for Peanut Butter and Ragu, but I didn't get any of these. BUT I still got a good deal. I had a stack of RR from the Halls and Dentek that I had to use so I figured this would be a good way to use especially those $1 RR which are so hard to use. So here's what I did. I bought 8 jars of PB (I also heard that the Skippy Natural works for the deal even though it's not marked, just make sure you get it price checked) at 3 for $5 Total was $13.34 used $13 in RR (make sure you use 8 or fewer RR for 8 items) I paid .34 cents OOP (no tax on food here, yay) and got back $8RR. What will I do with all this PB? We don't use a ton of PB, but I bought it with a couple of things in mind. I just read a good little article in the Ensign about the types of foods you should have in your 72 hour kits and she recommended PB because it's so high in protein. It will give you energy and keep you full for a long time. She had some other good suggestions too. Anyway these jars may be a little big for 72hour kits but I figure at least the two adults could carry a jar. I also, needed more food to donate to our Youth Conference food drive.

**Update
As I'm couponing I try to always make sure I play by the rules. If I even suspect for a minute that a coupon I have is not for the product I want to buy--even if it will scan--I won't use the coupon. Anyway, I was giving some thought to the Band-Aid deal it occurred to me that although both coupons would scan and I could get free band-aids, both coupons are Walgreens coupons and are neither is a manufacturer coupon, therefore the store will not be reimbursed, basically they will lose on the band-aids. So, I will not be doing the band-aid deal this week.
Happy Shopping!

New Coupons

There are a few hot coupons I've come across.

This one if $1.50 off Lunch meat. I'm super picky about lunch meat so I'm anxious to try this one if I can find it for super cheap. Freebies 4 Mom says it's available nationwide at Walmart.


Be sure to check here before you go out and buy your baking goods. You may want to print this one (.50 cents off 2 evaporated milk) because there could be some good sales pretty soon.

And this one has been around for awhile but just reset so if you already printed it, you can print it again. $1.60 off 1 bag of Nature Valley Nut Clusters.



Thanks Freebies 4 Mom and Common Sense with Money !

Walgreens coupon booklets and 10/5 trip




I thought I'd post a picture of the latest Walgreens coupon booklets.
The little green one can be found in the front of the store by the weekly ads. It has Walgreens coupons which expire at the end of October. The white one in the middle is called the Fall Savings Book and it can be found usually in the pharmacy. You could check around the pharmacy and see if they're lying around or ask the pharmacist if you can have one. This booklet has Walgreens coupons that don't expire until the end of the year. The third one is the ABC of Savings book. Some people have reported these being by the weekly ads, my store did not have them out, but I asked the manager if he had seen them and he dug one out of the back storage room for me. This booklet has about 6 manufacturer coupons mostly for cold products.

Here is my Walgreens trip yesterday. I plan on making a couple more trips when I have time this week.
I bought
Purrell Hand Sanitizer $2.99
used $.50/1 SS 8/2/09

Fusion MVP Razor
$4/1 9/27/09 P&G

Playtex Gloves $.99 (ad states 10ct it's a misprint should be 1 count)
used $1/1 SS 5/3/09
used $.99 in ad coupon
(When you use an in ad coupon and a manu. coupon always give the manu. coupon first and then the ad. If not it may beep in this case it would definitely beep if you give ad coupon first because the system will not let manu. coupon to be more than price)


**I have read in other places that there are peelie coupons in some stores on the Bengay for $5 off 2, if you have these it makes for a good deal on the Bengay which is 2/$10 and $5 RR. I also read that in the little coupon bags that they were giving w/flu shots that there are $2 Bengay coupons (mom, I think you got some of these so check it out. If you have these coupons you would pay $6/22 or $5/ 2 and get $5 RR.

Free Garnier Fructis


New freebie for Garnier Fructis at Walmart.com. These are great for your 72 hour kits or for your travel bags. I love freebies!

Target Juice Deal


If your family drinks juice, (mine goes through it like CRAZY) this is a pretty good juice deal at Target. Buy 5 Motts apple juice or apple sauce cups and get a $5 Target gift card. I don't shop at Target much because mine is so uncoupon friendly, but I believe that you can only get 1 gift card per transaction, but the best deal, if you want to buy more than 5 is to do separate transactions and roll your gift card. It comes out to .75cents per bottle which is a good deal. My Target was totally stocked!
