Walgreens, Free John Freida, Free Planters, Free Toothpaste

I have a love/hate relationship with Walgreens, but lately it has been more love. There was a 3 month period when I refused to step in in the store. But now I'll head in when there is a decent deal that doesn't seem like it will be too complicated for the cashiers.

Bought:
4 Planter's trail mix $1.50 each (one was eaten in the car)
1 colgate max fresh $2.99
1 Olay lotion $7.99
1 Olay body wash $4.99 free with lotion purchase
1 John Frieda hair spray $2.00 (clearance)
1 John Frieda hair smoothing lotion $2.00 (clearance)

Coupons:
4, $1.50 off planters facebook coupon
1, $.75 off colgate max fresh printable
2, $2.00 off John Frieda hair styler
1, $1.00 off Olay quench lotion
1, $1.00 off 2 planters product WAGS coupon from monthly book (hand last)

Got back a $2.00 Register Reward, that E used to buy Oreo brownies (he "needed" them)

Paid:
$8.60 ($1.37 was tax) Will submit for the $7.99 olay rebate, so $0.61 for everything above.

Target=Cheap cheap Christmas Donations and Free Air Fresheners

How happy was I when my buy 2 get 1 free (hasboro card game) coupon took the price of my monopoly game, $7.00 instead of my monopoly card game $5.54? Super happy. The cashier didn't even have to put in the price, some how the coupon just automatically took off $7.00. Sure it's only a little difference, but it's enough difference that I'll go back later in the week to grab another game to put aside for Christmas toy donations.

Bought:
4 Airwick Air I-motion air fresheners @ $6.00 a piece
3 Hasboro card games @ $5.54 a piece
1 Monopoly board game, $7.00

Coupons:
1, B2G1 free hasboro card games
4, $5.00 off Airwick manufacturers
4, $1.00 off Airwick target (old style coupons, print as many as you want)

Paid:
Nothing! I had a target gift card. OOP would have been $3.15 ($1.53 of that was sales tax on $43.62 worth of merchandise!) The bottom of my receipt says I saved $82.35 (non-sale prices), SCORE!

Free Eukanuba Puppy Food! Plus Pet Deals

Recently adopted a puppy? Know someone that did? Want to make your local shelter very happy?

Here's the link to a coupon for $10.00 off any size bag of Eukanuba Puppy food! I bought a small bag on sale at Petco last week for just $9.99. I don't have a puppy and our little gray dog eats Blue Buffalo, so our local shelter will be getting this bag.

Blue Buffalo also has $5.00 off dog food and $3.00 off cat food coupons here and Cat's Pride litter is offering a coupon for a free bag of litter when you join their group on catster here I signed up a few weeks ago and got mine really quick. We use World's Best cat litter because it's all natural, so our free litter will also be going to our local shelter.

Have you scored any great pet deals lately?

Total from both transactions:

As I mentioned in my last Rite Aid post, I shop for my mom and grandma since they aren't Rite Aid shoppers. If you're just shopping for yourself you can only do one Single Check Rebate per household.

Johnson and Johnson for FREE, $16.41 Money Maker!

So the Rite Aid I typically go to now knows me and they tend to believe me when I tell them things like, "yes, you can use a bogo coupon on a bogo 1/2 off". If in doubt they refer to the coupon policy that I gave them. The other one about 3 blocks from the first, not so much. I have to fight with them (in a nice way, usually) constantly. So much so, I almost dread stepping in the store. In any case between the two stores I was able to get everything I needed.

Target Free Deodorant and Kids Toothpaste/brushes & Cheap Games

I was at Target this weekend (which can be a nightmare depending on the cashier I get)to pick a a few of those cheap card games that everybody keeps talking about. Fortunately I got a young cashier that was about to leave for the night and pushed all of my coupons through without evening looking at them. I figured I'd try to use the $3.00 off P&G coupon with the small gillette clinical strength deodorants and she pushed them through without even batting an eyelash. Would they normally work? I'm not sure, the coupon says excludes trial size, but the deodorants aren't in the travel size section, they are with the body washes? In any case... here's what I got:

Bought:
1 Dove Soap bonus pack $3.99
2 Gillette clinical at $1.79 each
2 Crest kids toothpaste at $1.49 each
2 Crest kids toothbrushes at $1.69 each
1 Monopoly card game $5.54
1 scrabble slam card game $5.54
3 pictureka card games $5.54 each
1 Hostess Ding dongs (guess who wanted these) $3.04

Coupons:
1, $1.25 off dove printable
2, $3.00 off gillette clinical deodorant
2, $1.00 off crest toothpaste for kids
2, $1.00 off crest toothbrush for kids
4, $1.00 target printables for kids toothcare
3, $5.00 off pictureka printables
2, $4.00 off scrabble or monopoly

Total $7.74 (paid with $2.93 on a Target giftcard) So, $4.81 OOP! Saved $39.51! Not too shabby since the Ding dongs were $3.04 (of course I didn't have a coupon and E had to have them).

All the games will probably be saved for the toy drive this Christmas.
