Walgreens deals – 05/17 thru 05/23

I had RR that would expire on Saturday, so I decided to run to Walgreens today and use the $5 off $25 purchase coupon (good through today). I planned to take advantage of the following deals, but some were out of stock.

Buy one Right Guard Professional Strength or Dry Idea Clinical – $5.99
Get $5.00 Register Rewards
Use $1/1 coupon (SmartSource 04/19)

Buy 1 Bayer Quick release Crystals – $2.49

The Colgate was out of stock, so I had to come up with another scenario – while my seriously potty-training three-year-old was telling me her dire needs! (We discovered that Walgreens has public bathrooms, tucked away at the back of the store.) We had no accidents, thankfully, on this first trip running errands without Pull-Ups. And we ended up with the following – plus a rain check for the Aveeno deal!

Buy three Aveeno products and get a FREE Aveeno Travel Essentials Kit
(Aveeno products are on sale for 20% off.)
Use $2.00/1 printable coupon
Use $5.00/2 printable coupon
FREE travel kit coming!


The most exciting deal for me was the Off Clip-On Deal! (Camping plans are on the horizon!)

Buy one Off Clip-On – on sale for $8.99
Get $3.00 Register Rewards
Use B1G1 printable coupon
Use $2.00/1 coupon (SmartSource 05/17)
$3.99 for two after coupons and RR

Use weekly ad coupon
$0.99 after coupon

Cream Cheese (8 oz) – $1.59
Use weekly ad coupon
Two for $3.00 after coupon

Quarters Album – $1.00

Due to the aforementioned training, items out of stock, and miscellaneous time constraints, the outcome wasn't stellar – but I think I broke almost even when I count RR earned and the value of the FREE Travel Essentials Kit! (And I'll probably be going back before the week is over for a repeat on the Right Guard deal.)

We love Publix!

Amazing! Thanks to the wonderful sales at Publix this week, we should be well-stocked for quite a while! Besides the goodies acquired this past weekend (including some before coupons expired) I went back for these deals – and the Penny Items!

CVS deals – 05/10 thru 05/16

This is an especially good week to help the grocery budget by visiting CVS. I paid $1.77 out of pocket and almost broke even on ECBs spent. CVS has been such a blessing to our budget!


Buy $10 of Skippy and Ragu, Get $3.00 ECBs (Limit 1)
My deal:
Buy four Ragu Pasta Sauce (3/$5.00) – $1.66 each

Use $1.00/1 coupon (P&G 05/03)
$0.49 after coupon and ECBs

I did not get back to CVS last week for the Russell Stover deal; I was hoping the deal would still be on this week (since there's a glucose monitor deal going). But I had to settle for a second-best deal this week:

Russel Stover's Sugar Free Candy (3 oz) – $2.19
Buy three and use B2G1 coupon (SmartSource 11/02)
$1.46 each after coupon

Like last week, I discovered Dry Idea deodorant on clearance – for $0.82 this time. I again had a $2.00/1 printable coupon with me, so I figured the overage would help the fact that I didn't get B1G1 for the Russell Stover deal. The cashier, however, insisted on adjusting the coupon down to only $0.82 – even though it rang up as $2.00! I can't fuss – it was still free!

I'm hoping to stop by another store for the following:

Schick Quattro for Women Razor – $8.99
Get $4.00 ECBs (Limit 5)
Use $4.00/1 coupon (SmartSource 04/26)
(Apparently, this coupon is regional. Thank-you, Andrea, for the Charlotte coupon insert!)
$0.99 after coupon and ECBs

Publix highlights – 05/06 thru 05/12

I'm excited! All of this for only $0.22 out of pocket (plus $24 ECBs) – and I earned $19 ECBs, too!


I do miss the $5 off $25 purchase CVS coupons that used to print every week on my receipt... If only I'd checked e-mail right before going this afternoon, I could've used the $5 off $30 purchase CVS coupon that was sent to me at 3:06 p.m.! On the other hand, I'm glad I didn't go at all until today because of the incredible Coke deal – I found out about those coupons this morning! (Thanks to SouthernSavers!)

Here are the details:

While looking at deodorant, I discovered Dry Idea on clearance for $1.12 and remembered that I had two $2.00/1 printable coupons I was planning to use elsewhere to get the deodorant free. Getting overage, however, always trumps even getting something for free!

Now I'm thinking of making a second trip for the following (and to use that new $5 off coupon, too)!

Get $3.00 ECBs (Limit 3)
