HEB - Great Money Maker on Pantene Deal with P&G promo

I stopped by HEB on my way home as I wanted to try the P&G promo once before the coupons from the last P&G insert expire.  I found there is a pretty sweet Pantene deal that you can actually turn into a good size money maker after catalina and rebate.
Here is what I did :
4 Pantene Shampoo and conditioners $3.67 each
2 Pantene stylers @ $3.74 each
2 Pantene stylers @ $4.67 each
=$31.50

I used
4 bogo coupon for Buy shampoo get styler or conditioner free (up to $4.99) single page flyer from 2/24 paper
-4.17 x 2 and
-3.74 x 2
2 $3/2 coupons from 1/27 P&G insert (these expire TONIGHT)
= $9.68

I earned the $10 oynso of $30 or more for buying $30 worth of P&G items in a single transaction. :D

If you were to do this transaction twice, you would have the $50 in purchases for this $15 rebate.

That would make your oop $9.68 x 2 - $15 in rebates = $4.36 AND you would have 2 coupons for $10 off a $30 shopping order between 3/13 and 3/26!

If you are not able to make it out tonight, the  bogo coupons don't expire for awhile and you can print this $2/2 Pantene coupon, which still makes it an awesome deal!

*Don't forget to keep your receipt and keep your bottles close by for the UPCS to fill out your rebate (RIGHT when you get home - so you won't forget or lose the upc numbers )

*Oops, I did a boo boo. I was in such a hurry I didn't read that the yellow coupons in store are for purchasing the larger bottles of shampoo/conditioner.  You can still do this deal with the insert bogo coupon so I have revised my post so you see the correct coupon to use. I plan on stopping in my store today and explaining my error and having it corrected by giving them the proper coupons.
Thanks Katie for the comment.

Walgreens - $20 Money Makers with Double Dip

I had a $5 off $30 Walgreens catalina coupon that was expiring today and did not want it to go to waste.  Problem is, there were not a lot of hot register reward or points deals to get to $30 easily this week.  I also have been hoarding my points earned to use the 40,000 points threshold to gain the bonus $10 in redemption.
I took advantage of the February free after rebate items to get up high enough to turn this into a money maker.  AND I used the fact that the Artic Omega items are $10 next week(my store has already activated sale prices) to turn this into a pretty sweet run.
Here is what I did:

Natural Dentist mouth rinse $4.99
Use $2 printable (must register)
=$2.99 at register but will mail off for $5 rebate

Artic Natural Omega 3 softgels 60 ct $10
Will submit for $15 Wags rebate, ends TONIGHT

Virmax Testosterone boost 30 count $20
Will submit for $20 Wags rebate, ends TONIGHT

Jamieson Joint Care Nem 30 count $20
Will submit for $20 Wags rebate, ends TONIGHT

Used $5 off $30 catalina coupon

4 Nice N Easy hair dye clearanced @ $3.69 each
-$2 coupon from 1/27 P&G insert
$1.69 each
*I had full plans to use these for a P&G rebate but forgot I was already using the receipt for the Natural Dentist rebate, (d'oh!)

Used $4 Register reward and my 40,000 points to pay, with an additional oop of $1.07

So here is how my tally ends up
Since I count the points at the lowest cash back when earning, I consider 40,000 points equal to $40 in cost , but they apply $50 off if you use that many at once, so right away that is like getting $10 free.

So I spent $40 + $4 cat + $1.07 cash = $45.07 realized cost
I will get back :
$5 for mouth rinse
$20 for Joint care
$20 for Virmax
$15 for Omega 3
$5.50 bonus money - because I am going to have them apply the Wags rebate to a gift card for the 10% bonus
= rebates of $65.50

so $45.07 - $65.50 = Profit of $20.43 after all rebates :D

Thanks Jennifer S for the info on the $2 Natural Dentist coupon :D

Target - Valentine Clearance 70-90% off - YYMV

Each store seems to be deciding when to go 70% and when to go 90%.  I went to two today and first was still at 70%, second was at 90%.  Here are some of the hidden finds I scored.

Look in stationary for any wrapping paper that is red and scan, these don't look valentine at all but rang .29 (in back standing up next to baking sheet)
A Golden book called Butterfly Kisses
My Little Pony in regular toy aisle(these were 70% at the store I got them)

 Toddler boy shorts and mens boxers and sleeping pants $.89 - $1.69

Better than Free Wet n Wild - Walmart

I swung by Walmart today to price match my produce ads and picked up some Wet n Wild to help decrease my out of pocket.
These lipsticks and nail polishes are $0.93 each everyday so a small profit of .07 each after the $1 coupon from 2/10 Red Plum insert.  But hurry to use the coupons as they are extremely short dated (2/23).

Subway FebruANY $5 Footlong Offers and a Giveaway

I had to go to a working dinner last night and I knew my husband was exhausted and did not want to even think about making dinner.  I suggested he take the girls to Subway on his way home from gymnastics lessons.  The girls were elated as they both LOVE Subway and while my little one doesn't eat the healthiest(Flatbread with american cheese toasted with parmesan cheese - basically a grill cheese sandwich, lol) , my eldest has a few things to teach others about healthy eating. (Flatbread with ham, cucumber, spinach and paremesan cheese).

What is GREAT about Subway this month is they are offering up MOST of their regular footlongs for just $5.  I personally love the Subway Club and that one is rarely $5!  You can go here to see all the $5 and $6 footlong offerings too.  Another thing I like about the footlongs is that it is two meals for me.  So if I go for lunch, I save the other half for dinner and no cooking :D
Yum!

Pretty awesome news right?  Well how about a $25 gift card to go with these low low prices?
Subway has offered me a chance to giveaway a $25 gift card to one lucky reader.  The rules are simple:
1 entry per person

Leave a comment on this blog post (not my facebook, not my email, you have to leave it on the actually blog post to qualify) telling me what Subway sandwich you love

If you don't have a google account, you are welcome to leave comments as anonymous, just make sure you leave some way to contact you or at least your name so I can announce you if you win

Entries will close February 22nd sometime in the evening when I choose a winner.  Winner will have 24 hours to contact me to claim their prize, else it will be forfeited and a new winner selected.

Good luck

Disclosure: Subway provided me a gift card to give away and one for myself for a review/giveaway post.  No other compensation was provided and all opinions, as always, are my own.

Potential Poise MM at CVS

I am sitting here playing goldfish with my girls and going to multiple printable coupon sites just to see what is new out there. When I went to the CVS link, I noticed a $3 Poise wellness product printable. Combine this with the $3 inserts from 2/10 Smart Source and you are bound to get a great deal(based on online pricing I am viewing).
If you can't find your insert, there is a $1 printable too that should at least make them free.

Working toward bringing my regular posts back like what am I printing and why etc.
Work has been super busy which is good since that pays the bills :D  but bad because I don't get to keep up with all the deals the way I used to.  Hoping to figure out a happy medium ground.
