Kmart Super Doubler up to $0.75! Maybe $2!!!!

NOTE: This might be a MisPrint...Reports are that corporate is saying it should have been $2. I might try calling to confirm tomorrow!

Next week, from May 3rd to May 9th, Kmart is doubling up to $0.75. So that will make anything that might be $1.50 free. I will keep a look out to see if anyone finds some good deals worth going. Kinda bummed it's only $0.75, usually it's $2. Maybe we will see it again in a couple of weeks.

I'll try to get a list of Freebies going if ours will only honor $0.75 coupons...

Usually free w/ a $0.75 Q

Kotex liners ~ They are usually $1.29 ea ($0.75/1, 4/5 SS)

$1 off Kellogg's Coupons!

These are great coupons! Make sure you get yours....Being Frugal is Fabulous has the links (here).

And, make sure you print them out twice...do the back page to get another round. You can only do them twice.

AND....You can print out another set my coupon bar>>>>>> right over there! =) Make sure you backpage to get them twice.

Might want to hold them for when a cereal deal comes...I'll keep you posted if I find one.

Scanning the Von's Ad for this week * work in progress*

I didn't get our normal ads from the grocery stores this week...I'm checking them out online. Here are some deals worth noting.

Free Re-usable Bag w/ $50 purchase
w/ in-ad Q (while supplies last)

Rice or Pasta Roni $0.89 ea. (limit 6)
The Scenario:
Q = $1/4 (3/8 RP) OR $1/3 (IP HERE)
RP Q $0.89 (4) = $3.56 - $1 Q = $2.56 for 4
IP Q's $0.89 (6) = $5.34 - 2 ($1/3) = $3.34 for 6

Arm & Hammer Laundry Detergent

55 to 80-oz. 2x Liquid. Selected varieties.
$3.29 ea.

****************************************
AND... Vons is doing a Living Well promo...buy $30 worth of participating products, get a $10 catalina off your next purchase...they are Rollable! Stay tuned...I have been scanning the message boards for examples. I found an attachment of the participating items...but it's just a general product description (however, there are food items and cleaning items, etc!). So I will make sure to get back on here with any deals I find!

I think Arm & Hammer is on the list...Here's what I'm thinking I might do:
Buy 10 Arm & Hammer Detergent = 32.90
(I wish I had Q's!)
Get $10 back to roll on the next...or the better idea would be find the participating products (marked in the store) w/ which I have matching Q's to make the initial OOP lower and roll that into the detergent. =) Going to be a fun time @ Vons this week!

6 cents OOP @ CVS!

I didn't get a picture...but it was a great run. Lost a buck in ecb's but I'll get it back next time on the mento's deal. Here's the breakdown:

$1.25 Hershey's Bliss eggs *easter clearance*
-1.00 Any Hershey's bliss from CVS beauty insert

$0.75 Hershey kisses...easter...clearance/filler

$0.13 Filler (easter note egg thingy)

$3.99 Colgate Toothpaste (Free after ECb's)
-0.75 Any Colgate toothpaste

$4.99 Softsoap body wash (Free after Ecb's)
-1.00 Any Softsoap

$1.69 Mento's gum (didn't get to use coupon)

$0.01 tax
-10.00 ecb's from before

= $0.06 OOP! Got back $4.99 and $3.99! Not much to choose from this week...but the coupon machine gave me a $2/$10 cosmetic Q. So I will look to next week and see what I can find! =)

The Skinny on Catalina Coupons

This is an example of a catalina coupon. It prints out from a separate machine, usually located next to the register. You usually get them with your receipt at Albertsons, Ralphs or Vons...mainly grocery stores. We love them at Albies...they usually are $5 off your next order, or $10 off your next order! =) You can roll these...as with the Post Deal below!

At the same time, you can receive catalina coupons at Walgreens...they are referred to as "Register Rewards". Example: This week, Walgreens has Colgate Maxwhite Toothbrush $3.29, but when you buy it you will receive a coupon like the one to the left for $3.29 off your next purchase (it will have Walgreens name on it and also has an expiration date...don't forget..it's free money!). It usually spits out after the transaction ends. The only problem w/ Walgreens' Register Rewards (RR) program is that you cannot roll them. You cannot buy a toothbrush for $3.29 and get $3.29 in RR and try to use it to do the same transaction and roll it. You will end up w/ another toothbrush but it will not give you a $3.29 off your next purchase. What you want to do is use it towards another RR product in a different manufacturer family. Also, when you find the Free after RR...you want to find a coupon to make money off of it. For example, say I have a $1 off any Colgate toothbrush. I use it, pay $2.29 for it and get back $3.29. So I just made a dollar...also called a Money Maker! I hope this helps.

No Coupons this Sunday!

Just a reminder...there are no inserts this Sunday. It's Easter! I still have so much to clip from last week!

And...I think I read somewhere that Kmart might start doing "Super Doubles" monthly...toward the end of the month. =) We shall see...I'll keep a look out.

Huggies $0.75 Wipes Printable

Just noticed there is a Huggies wipes coupon for $0.75 on my right side bar! CVS is doing a Huggies deal this week...buy $25 worth of Huggies/Similac/etc get $10 ECBs back. NOTE: The wipes are the mega pack...which is essentially the refills. That's a decent price considering $2.50 is usually a sale price for the individual bucket. =)
