Cheese tastes so much better when you are paid to buy it! Safeway


I have a dirty little confession to make! Like Joey from "Friends", my two favorite foods are Fried and Cheese!(Fried WITH cheese, even better!)
Anyway, I noticed in the Randalls ad they had Kraft Deli Fresh cheese on sale for $1.99 wyb 5 in one transaction. I was super excited about this because the HCW database showed there were $1 coupons out and I knew Randalls was doing the Kraft cheese catalina(like Kroger). Well, I was even MORE excited when I found these awesome packages of Provolone cheese with 50% off stickers. I have already expressed my LOVE of these little stickers, but for those new(or those who have forgotten) I will explain my excitement.
Randalls sale on this cheese states it will take $5 off instantly when you 5 participating products. That means, the cheese will ring $1 more, then come off at the end. Well, then that means, the cheese rings up $2.99 and the 50% tag takes off $1.50. Then the sale takes another $1 off each one making each package only .49!
Multiply that by 5 and that is just $2.49 and it earns a $5 oynso catalina!!!! And that is WITHOUT using any coupons. Pair that with the printables and you have a perfect trifecta.
*Even if you don't find cheese with the 50% off sticker, you can still get a great deal with the sale and cat deal:
5 @ 1.99 each = $9.95 - $1 IPs = $4.95 (you will need 3 computers to print that many coupons)
Earns $5 oynso so FREE cheese.
(coupon shows Deli Deluxe, but when you print, it says Deli Deluxe or Deli Fresh and pictures both)
While at Randalls, I searched for a few other items my coupon friend told me about (you know who you are) but apparantly my store doesn't carry one item and was sold out of the other one.
First item (my store didn't carry): Kelloggs Cinnabon cereal. These are rumored to be on sale for $1.99 each and when you purchase 10 in a transaction, you get a $10 oynso. Well, we have $1 coupons from 6-27 RP or an IP here. That would make them FREE if you can find them. Also, look for specially marked Try me Free boxes for an added money maker.
Second item(sold out): Chiquita Bites singles are on sale for $1. My coupon friend found some $1 tearpad coupons right in front of them, making them FREE. I will admit, the store I went to has a FULL tearpad but they were sold out of product. Product is on sale through the 10th(if I remember correctly) but sadly, I will not be here to wait for the restock.
If you are heading out for these, don't forget to load your Upromise coupons first for extra savings(these savings do not show up at register, but will be added to your upromise account).

Target - Free Digiorno and Scrubbing Bubbles

I am about to head out of town and wanted to get some shopping in first because I am going to be without coupons for 8 days (ACK!!! the horror!)

Well, while checking my emails, I noticed Hip2Save posted about free Digiorno pizza so I decided a trip to Target was definitely in my future. First, go to facebook and create a silly picture(very easy and quick) so you can print a $2 coupon good on any Digiorno Deep Dish Pizza. These are pizzas for one, and I don't personally recommend cooking in the microwave(they cooked unevenly). Yay! Free Digiorno.


Also, I read about an awesome Scrubbing Bubbles deal, so decided to grab those too. For this deal, you will need the insert coupon from Sunday's paper for a $5 gift card wyb the Scrubbing Bubbles extend a clean and refill.

Then, you will need the $5 and $1 coupons from 6-13 SS.

Purchase 1 Scrubbing Bubbles cleaner @ $6.99 and one refill @ $3.49. Give the $5 gift card coupon, then the $5 and $1*. You will pay $4.48 + tax and get a $5 gift card for each set you purchase (NO BEEPS!!!!!)

*VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!!!! Make sure you hand ALL the $5 coupons over BEFORE the $1 coupons. One of my $5 coupons adjusted down to $3.49 because the $1 coupon "attached" itself to the full size on my transaction, and thus the $5 was attaching to the refill and only gave me THAT value.

Also, a decent deal on the Dora bandages. We got $3/3 insert coupons on Sunday(it beeps). Combine this with the .50 Target printable (sort by personal care) and the reduced price of $1.69 and you got yourself some CHEAP bandaids. If you purchase 3, you can send off proof of purchase to receive a free Toy Story book!

I also received the free First Aid Kit(on an endcap) for purchasing 3 Bandaids in 1 transaction.

Walgreens Friends and Family discount Aug 2-4



Sorry for the delay in posting, this was buried on my facebook wall. Walgreens is having a friends and family event for those that "like" them for 3 days only - August 2-4. Just print this coupon and save 15% on store purchases or 20% on Walgreens brand products. Great time to go snag the free crayons and markers in the ad. Also, a great time to purchase the Gillette razor to get it free:

Gillette razor $9.89 x .85= $8.41 - $4 P&G = $4.41 get back $5

You will need to check out at Photo or cosmetics counter for this promotion. (when planning your trip, keep in mind Walgreens coupons you use, will adjust down by the 15 and 20% discount as well since you are basically getting the employee discount ex: If you use the $2 Listerine mouthrinse coupon, it will adjust down to $1.70)

CVS deals for the week........

I apologize for my lack of deal posts lately but I just have not been doing as much shopping lately. I had company this weekend, but I also had a $5/30 CVS email coupon that was set to expire on Sunday so I couldn't not go. I also needed milk and didn't want to drive out of the way to get organic so I just had to settle for CVS milk this week.


OK, I didn't realize the Crest deal(pg 13) and the Colgate deal were limit 2 so I had to go back today to finish the deals. Here is what I did:
2 Crest Pro Health $3.99 each - $2 8-1 P&G = $3.98
1 Oral B toothbrush $2.99 - .75 8-1 P&G = $2.24
1 Colgate total 2.99 - $1 Kroger pharmacy booklet = $1.99
1 Gillette fusion razors $9.79 - $4 P&G = $5.79
1 Oak Farms milk $2.99 - .50 = $2.49
1 Vicks vaporizer 75% clearance $4.99
-$5/30
-$15.98 in ECBS
TAX: .22
Cost oop: .72

Earned $5 for Crest deal(spend $10, get $5)
$2 Colgate total toothpaste
$5 for Gillette razor
$1 for milk



Since I noticed I had not maxed out on my Colgate and Crest deal, I went back to CVS today to close those out and I while looking for clearance, I noticed tags on the Fuze for buy $10, get $5 ECBS back. Well, they were marked $1.25 and there was a .75/1 tearpad hanging right on the door WOW!

This is what I did:
8 Fuze $1.25 each - .75 tearpad = $4
3 Crest Pro Health $3.99 each - $2 P&G = $5.97
1 Colgate total $2.99 - $1 Kroger pharmacy booklet = $1.99
-$11 in ECBS
TAX: .17
Cost oop: $1.13

Earned $5 for Crest deal
$5 for the Fuze deal
$2 Colgate total

Then I realized I had not maxed out on the Fuze deal, so I did one more transaction and got
8 Fuze $1.25 each - .75 tearpad = $4
-$4 in ECBs
Cost OOP: $0
Earned $5 in ECBs
