The Sun-Times wanted to know if I had any school clothes shopping tips! In today’s paper I share some tips on how to find the best deals. My daughter Angelica stole the show with this one, proving that teens can dress in their favorite styles without breaking the bank! The Sun-Times also filmed a video […]
Deals of the Week for August 12, 2008
In this week’s inserts (8/10) there is a coupon for a free can of Mighty Dog dog food. If you won’t use it, pass it along to someone who will, or donate it to a food pantry…
Over to Jewel… (note: the $20/$10 ConAgra deal has officially ended.)
Wal-Mart has Honey Bunches of Oats “Just Bunches” cereal on sale for $1.75. Print a $2 off coupon here and get some cereal that’s better than free! (Buy something else along with this to use up that extra quarter of overage.)
How could I not get in on this too?
So after all the reports from people happily doing the Mitchum deal, my daughter and I hit Jewel tonight…
We have 37 Mitchum deodorants. We paid $9.99 out of pocket and ended up with $21.00 in Catalina coupons for Jewel, which are good on anything and just like cash.
And, on two of our receipts, coupons for free loaves of French bread printed! So, Jewel paid us $11.01 to take all these deodorants, plus 2 loaves of bread. This was a fantastic “moneymaker” deal. How can you say no to that?
My oh Mitchum!
Here’s an email from another one of Johnny’s listeners who loves the Mitchum deodorant deal:
“So this Mitchum deal really rocks! My husband only wears Mitchum too.
I tallied it up. We bought 59 deodorants. We spent $34.88 out of our pockets. We have $43.00 in Catalina coupons to use at Jewel (these are the same as cash.) So Jewel paid us $8.12 to take the deodorant home.
More reader mail! The Mitchum deal
Here’s an email from a Johnny B listener who’s done the Mitchum deodorant deal numerous times today…
21 deodorants = $1.19 including tax!
Reader mail and one large stash of toilet paper…
Check out this photo and email sent to me by a wild pair of new couponers who went on a shopping spree this weekend after I sent them a tip on toilet paper… proving anyone can do this!
“Well… it’s official. The Peto’s have begun couponing! We followed a lead Jill sent us on Cottonelle (the ONLY toilet paper I buy). We ran this deal 12 times! Yes… 12!
So I bought a few diapers yesterday…
66 packs of diapers and pull-ups… for $7.92. (Total!) I’m really hoping to never have to buy diapers or pull-ups again for either this big boy or his little brother.
