Time To Play The Drugstore Game - Week of Mar. 21, Makeup and Method Soap

At Walgreen's this week, many of the Almay cosmetics are 30% off, bringing them to between $4 and $9.  There is reportedly a a $2 Almay coupon in a spring coupon booklet found at the Walgreen's cosmetic counter in many stores.   Then, on top of that, you get a $5 Register Reward (RR) for every item you buy.  If you want several items, you must do several transactions - you can only get one RR per transaction.  Also remember that you can't use your Almay RR to buy more Almay - you must use it for something else.  For example, I also noticed that Method Soap was $2.99 and you get a $2 RR back.  So use the $2 RR for Almay and use the Almay RR for Method Soap and other items.  In all, a very good time to stock up!

Time to Play the Drugstore Game - Rite Aid This Week

Rite Aid has the best deals going this week.  Using your Wellness card, the Lay's Stax are $1 - and you get a $1 UP reward on your receipt - to be used on your next shopping trip (or next purchase). Sort of sounds like free, to me.

The Dreyer's or Edy's ice cream  is on sale for $2.99 and you get a $2 Up for these.   Dixie plates are buy one get one free.

Then, to top it off, when the total of those items listed above is $15 (before UPs) - you get another $5 UP (one time only on that one).  

Think of the possibilities! I like to use my UPs the next week - they do expire, but they also come in handy if you forgot something or realize you need something at the last minute - just pull out your UPs.

Good Safeway/Hallmark/Sandwich Deal

Between now and February 14, 2011, Safeway has a Hallmark deal - buy three cards (Valentine's or otherwise) and then you get a $5 catalina (a printed coupon upon checkout) which is good on your next purchase.  Also, this week (through Feb 1 only - sorry), Safeway has their $4.99 sandwiches printing a coupon for a free sandwich on your next visit (must be redeemed by 2/20).

So, today I bought three cards ($1.99) each - and paid $6.52 and received a coupon for $5.  I then bought a sandwich (with the Safeway club discount it comes to $4.49) and added a pack of Mentos (50 cents each this week-to bring my purchase up to to $5.00-plus I like Mentos) and then paid with my $5 coupon and  a whopping 41 cents.  Now I also have a coupon for a free sandwich which I will redeem next week.

In other words, 3 Hallmark cards, 2 sandwiches, and one pack of Mentos for a total of $6.93.   I've paid that much for a couple of cards let alone sandwiches.  All in all good purchases.

PS, I also hear that some Safeways have a little teddy bear that you get from Hallmark for purchasing 3 cards--my Safeway either did not have them or were out.  No problem.

Time To Play -- The Drugstore Game Week of January 23-29, 2011

A lot of drugstores are using various rewards, register rewards (Walgreen's), UP's (Rite Aid), ECB's (CVS.)  They are good. Especially if you combine your purchases with coupons, use your RR/UP/ECB on a following purchase - and don't get carried away, you can save quite a bit.  Here's an example from Walgreen's.

Transaction 1:
Pedicare Cold Medicine $5.99
-$1.00/1 Pedicare Printable Here

Total: $4.99 Out of Pocket; Get $4.00 Register Reward

Transaction 2:

Colgate Pro Clinical Toothpast $ 3.49
Big Roll Toilet Paper 0.39
Big Roll Toilet Paper 0.39

Total:  $4.27 - $4.00 Register Reward
= $0.27 Out of Pocket; Get $2.50 Register Reward

Total Value = $10.26 
Total Out of Pocket = $5.26
Register Rewards Remaining = $2.50

I usually apply the last register reward to the next week.

Now of course if you have no need for the first purchase (no kids, etc), this may not work for you.  But check out the Sunday ad's there's usually something you could use.

Tax Software - It's that time again

Amazon has a great deal on this tax software- I've been using this one for years.  It sells for $44 plus tax in most stores - although if you can't wait, Target is giving you a $10 gift card when you buy it.  Also, look for a $10 off Target coupon here
(Although the coupon may no longer be available.)

Jamba Juice Coupons 1/10-19 --- This Will Be a Great Time To Go
