Deals of the Week for June 21, 2010

Hello, Super-Couponers! Hope everyone had a great Fathers Day yesterday! I spent a wonderful day with my husband & children and my own amazing father & mother as well. Our family had much to celebrate this year. Now, as I write this, it’s after 1 am very early Monday morning, the house is quiet… and I’m in deal-making mode!

This week’s newspaper contained two inserts: SmartSource and RedPlum.

Ready for your Deals of the Week? You may enjoy .49 Hefty disposable plates, .50 8-packs of Ice Mountain bottled water, cheap dog treats, cheap laundry detergent, FREE Bounty paper towels, FREE Weber Grill Seasonings, FREE Fiber One yogurt, $3.99 Pampers jumbo packs, .50-$1 Dannon yogurt, FREE Carefree pantiliners, FREE and cheap body wash all over town, FREE Reach toothbrushes and dental floss, .75 Post cereals, six different travel-sized freebies, FREE Herbal Essences shampoo, FREE Renu lens solution, .50 Lysol toilet cleaner, FREE PowerBars, and the GIANT 96ct. box of Huggies for $3.99!

(Print: , Email:, or, jump directly to comments on this week’s deals…)

If you’re new to my blog, take a quick minute to read Using this site and bring yourself up to speed on all the coupon lingo and abbreviations.

It’s a good idea to save the grocery and drugstore flyers each week to have on hand & refer to too as you go through the deals! And, if you’re new to couponing in general, check out my Super-Couponing® website for a list of coupon classes (most are FREE!) and easy instructions on how to start using coupons effectively!

A note to my non-Midwest readers: While my weekly deals focus on Illinois stores, the Target, Walgreens and CVS deals apply nationally. And, if you’re shopping at a SuperValu, Safeway, or Kroger-owned store, you may find similar sales to our Jewel, Dominick’s, and Hilander deals. Welcome, and enjoy!

AND… my Super-Couponing® class is now available on DVD! Own the 72-minute video and watch it whenever you like! Click for a video preview & learn how to order!

Unless otherwise noted, GROCERY store deals run through WEDNESDAY of this week, and the drugstore/general merchandise store deals run through Saturday.

(Also, if you’re new, you may not have some of the direct-mailed coupon books that I refer to for some deals. At the bottom of each week’s deals, I list free coupon books that you can request to be mailed to you — register for all of them, as I’ll reference them in future weeks.)

Grocery Deals

Starting at Jewel…

Are you on the Jewel-Osco email list yet? If not, you’re missing out on some GREAT coupons! Jewel has been emailing coupons out for MEATS over the past couple of weeks, and we love coupons for fresh meats! Last week, it was $2 off a $4 chicken purchase. This week’s coupon is for $2 off any $4 pork purchase! This works nicely with the Jewel pork bratwurst, which is on sale for $4 – just $2 with coupon!

I have really been impressed with the nice coupons Jewel has been sending to their email subscribers lately & would highly recommend getting on their list if you shop there. :)

Here’s a hot deal on Hefty disposable plates! They’re on sale for .99 each. Use the $1-off-2 coupon from 5/16 RP and pay .98 for 2, or .49 each!

Ice Mountain Aquapods 8-packs of bottled water are $1 each. Use the $1-off-2 coupon from 5/16 RP, buy 2 and pay $1 – that’s .50 per 8 bottled waters – pretty cheap!

If your dog liked last week’s FREE dog treat deal, here’s another deal your dog might like! Purina Busy Bone dog treats are on sale for $3.29. Buy two, use the $1 coupon from 5/2 SS and use the Buy One, Get One Free coupon from 3/28 SS1. You’ll pay $2.29 for 2 packages, or $1.15 each!

Jewel 32-oz. bags of frozen french fries are on sale for $2 – that’s a steal at a dollar a pound, no coupon needed..!

While we love getting laundry detergent FREE in coupon/Catalina deals, the gaps in the really-great sales on detergent can be many months long. Here’s a deal that will have you doing 44 loads of laundry for $1.49 … just .03 a load! While not free, that’s pretty hard to beat!

Jewel has Xtra 75-ounce, 44-load laundry detergent on sale for $2.49. Use the $1 coupon from 6/6 SS and pay $1.49!

If you mailed in for the P&G “Year of Savings” free coupon book earlier this year, it’s going to net you 3 free rolls of Bounty paper towels this week! Single rolls of Bounty paper towels are on sale for $1. There are three coupons in the book for $1 off any Bounty (expiring 7/31/10, 10/31/10, 1/31/11.) There’s no better price than FREE, so if you haven’t used these yet (and aren’t interested in possibly working them into other deals on larger packs down the line) use these 3 coupons and get 3 free rolls of Bounty…

Deals continuing from previous weeks:

Packets of Weber Grill Seasoning are still on sale for .99, Buy One, Get One Free. All month, there have been tearpads on display near the seasonings for $1 off 2. With these coupons, buy 2 and both are FREE! But, if your store’s tearpads are long gone, reader Outlander points out there’s also a $1-off-2 coupon in the 5/23 SS! Go grab two more packets free… just as grilling season gets into full swing!

June is National Dairy Month, and Jewel is running a “Buy 5, Save $5” Catalina sale on selected dairy products! This one’s nice and LONG and runs through 7/1!

If you’re a UPC list person, you can find a full listing of included products here. Buying any 5 products will generate a $5 Catalina.

Deals continuing from previous weeks:

Jewel’s house brand of diapers, Baby Basics, are a good buy with coupons! Jumbo packs are $7.99-$16.99 each at most stores depending on size of box/package. Use these $4 printables here and here and cut that price nicely!

My beautiful sister Lynn called to say that the Hartz Crunch N’ Clean dog biscuits continues through 6/27! They’re on sale for $1.99 a box. Use this $1 printable to make these just a dollar. There’s also a $1 coupon in 6/6 SS, 4/11 SS, and the May All You for more cheap treats! Lynn also notes that the boxes of Crunch N’ Clean treats that she got during the LAST deal all had $1 treat coupons inside too…

Jewel meat deals:

• Fresh chicken drumsticks or thighs are $1.49/lb.
• Perdue fresh jumbo chicken wings are $1.49/lb.
• Perdue fresh split chicken breasts are $1.99/lb.
• Fresh bone-in country style ribs are $1.99/lb.
• If you have the $2 off any pork coupon from the Jewel email list coupons, the pork bratwurst is a good buy – it’s $4, and just $2 with this coupon.

(Anytime meat is under $1.99 a pound (no matter what it is — beef, pork, poultry, or seafood) it’s a buy in my book, because $1.99 is a cycle low and a good benchmark for meat prices.)

Jewel produce deals:

• Idaho baking potatoes are .49/lb.
• Red seedless grapes are .99/lb.
• 1lb. bags of Farm Stand baby carrots are $1 (1lb. bags of Wild Harvest organic baby carrots are $1.99)
• Vidalia onions are $1.29/lb.
• Broccoli crowns or cauliflower are $1.69/lb.
• 1lb. containers of strawberries are $3.99, B1G1F, so $2 each
• Zucchini and squash are $1.89/lb
• Peaches and nectarines are $1.99/lb.

Let’s go to Dominick’s…

Note to my Safeway shoppers reading from outside Chicagoland: In Chicago, Dominick’s currently accepts expired coupons up to one year past the expiration date, so my coupon matchups for Dominick’s deals will include expired coupons. If an expired coupon matchup is provided, it will be noted with (exp) after the date. Also, in Chicago, Dominick’s does not double coupons (as other Safeway stores do) – if your store doubles, you’ll do even better with many of these deals.

First off, if you haven’t entered my FREE contest to win a $100 Dominick’s gift card, why not? All you need to do is respond to this blog post. This contest is sponsored by Cellfire.com, and I think $100 would brighten ANYONE’s summer grocery budget!

Here’s a great deal that will net you FREE yogurt! Yoplait Fiber One yogurt 4-packs are on sale for $2. Load the $1 ecoupons to your Fresh Values card from both Cellfire and Shortcuts. Then, print two $1 manufacturer coupons for the yogurt. Buy 2… and with $2 off each yogurt, your two four-packs of Fiber One are FREE!

As usual, there are some Dominick’s Super Coupons* in this week’s ads too. Best bets?

• Sargento cheese slices (6.67-8oz) are $1.99 with Super Coupon, limit 3. Use this .55 printable and take them home for $1.44.
• 16oz. bags of Safeway frozen vegetables are .99 with Super Coupon, limit 4.
• Huggies or Pampers diapers are $7.99 per jumbo pack with Super Coupon, limit 4. We see this great deal come around about every month or so, and here’s how it goes… Head over to www.pgesaver.com and load the following ecoupons to your Fresh Values card (depending on which varieties you might want) – $2 off Pampers Cruisers, $2 off Pampers Extra Protection, $1 off Pampers Swaddlers, $1 off Pampers Easy Ups, and $1.50 off Pampers Swaddlers AND Pampers Sensitive Wipes. Stack that with any of many $2 Pampers diaper coupons (6/20 RP, 3/14 RP [exp], 2/21 PG [exp], 12/27/09 PG [exp], 11/29/09 PG [exp]) and you’ll pay $3.99-$4.99 per jumbo pack, depending on which ecoupon you use.

Deals continuing from previous weeks:

Snuggle fabric softener is on sale for $3.99 each when you buy 2 or more at a time (through June 30.) Buy two and use two of the $3 Snuggle coupons from 3/28 RP or 10/4/09 RP (exp) and pay just .99!

If you go to Dominick’s, look for displays with coupon booklets in them:

O Organics – brochure card with “$1 off any O Organics Item” coupons in the store, expiring 12/31/10! These are GREAT coupons for products like organic milk and produce

Add Dairy to your Summer Adventure – $26 worth of manufacturer AND store coupons for many dairy products, expiring 7/14-7/24/10

June Coupon Booklet – small yellow square book – they’ve been releasing these monthly

Dominick’s meat deals:

• 93% lean ground beef is $1.99/lb.
• Dominick’s is also running some specials on Rancher’s Reserve beef, but you have to buy (seriously) a ridiculous amount of meat to take advantage of any of these — and the per-pound price is not great at all. I’d skip it.

Dominick’s produce deals:

• Green seedless grapes are .99/lb.
• Jumbo Vidalia onions are .99/lb.
• Gala or Red Delicious apples are $1.49/lb.
• Broccoli crowns are $1.69/lb.
• Red or black plums are $1.99/lb.
• 2lb. bags of Eating Right baby carrots are $2.50

*A note on Dominick’s Super Coupons:

What does “minimum $10 (or $20) purchase required” mean? To use store coupons that include a minimum purchase requirement, you must spend a minimum dollar amount on that shopping trip. You will reach the minimum purchase amount based upon total purchases after your Club Card discount is applied. For example, the regular retail price of a box of Cheerios (after Club Card discounts) will count toward the minimum purchase required in order to use the Cheerios coupon.

Heading over to Meijer, here are your best deals of the week for Meijer stores in in Algonquin, Aurora, Bloomingdale, Bolingbrook, Elgin, McHenry, Oswego, Plainfield, Rolling Meadows, and St. Charles:

 

Dannon Activia and DanActive yogurt smoothies are a good buy this week. On sale for $2 per 4-pack, use the $1 coupons from 6/6 SS and 5/2 SS to take these home for a dollar each!

Spend $10, get $3 Catalina deal Spend $10 or more on Clorox cleaning, Formula 409 or Pine-Sol products and get a $3 Catalina for your next shopping trip! Here are your products and matchups: Clorox Clean-Up spray cleaner – $2.50 – $1 off 2 – 6/6 RP – $1 off 2 – Meijer Mealbox store coupon Clorox Wipes – $2.39 – $1 off 2 – 6/6 RP Formula 409 spray cleaner – $2.39 – $1 off 2 – 6/6 RP Pine-Sol 48oz. cleaner – $2.50 – .50 off – 6/6 RP – $1 off 2 – Meijer Mealbox store coupon

Since all of these coupons are in the same insert, this one doesn’t really become the best deal unless you have multiple inserts from this week. An easy scenario if you got 2 papers?

Buy 2 Pine-Sol and 2 Clorox Clean-Up sprays ($10.)
Use the $1-off-2 Clorox coupon, two .50 Pine-Sol coupons, and two $1-off-2 Meijer Mealbox coupons.

Pay $6 and get $3 back – $3 for all 4 works out to .75 each! Thanks to blog reader Outlander for spotting the Mealbox matchup, which makes this an even nicer deal!

Note that Meijer has a SECOND $10/$3 Catalina deal running this week too on Cottonelle, Viva and Scott products. Nothing’s jumping out at me here though as a good deal, especially with all of the paper deals elsewhere as of late.

Deals continuing from previous weeks:

Aunt Millie’s bread, hot dog or hamburger buns are on sale for $1. Use a .55 off coupon for Aunt Millie’s from the 6/13 RP or 5/16 RP to cut this by more than half!

Meijer meat deals:

• There are no meat deals at Meijer this week. Sad but true – they’re pushing $6.99/lb. steaks and really nothing to write home about…

Meijer produce deals:

• Red or green seedless grapes are .97/lb.
• California peaches or nectarines are .99/lb.

Note that Meijers in other states are on different schedules. The Illinois Meijers are about a week behind on the sales vs. Indiana/Michigan. If you’re in Illinois, these Meijer deals run through Wednesday. If you’re reading from another state, they ENDED Saturday at your store… Confusing? Yes.

AND, if you shop at the Illinois NILES Meijer location, they haven’t been following the same sale flyer as the other Illinois Meijers, under the convoluted reasoning that because the store is new, people will shop there -without- as many products being on sale. O-kay.

For my Rockford-area shoppers (and Kroger shoppers too!) here are your Hilander sales for the current week…

First off, if you haven’t entered my FREE contest to win a $100 Hilander/Kroger gift card, why not? All you need to do is respond to this blog post. This contest is sponsored by Cellfire.com, and I think $100 would brighten ANYONE’s summer grocery budget!

After a couple of “sleeper” weeks, Hilander’s back with a vengeance! What a GREAT week this is for Hilander sales! Get your scissors ready, as you’ll be taking bunches of things home FREE this week, like…

Carefree pantiliners. They’re on sale for $1. Use the $1 coupon from 4/25 SS and they’re FREE!

Ivory body wash. It’s on sale for $1. Use the .50 coupon from 6/6 PG, which doubles to $1, and it’s FREE!

Listerine Pocket Packs. Also on sale for $1. Use the .50 coupons from 5/16 RP, 4/11 RP, 3/7 RP, 1/3 RP, or 10/18/09 RP (yes, incredibly, they’re all current!) which will double to $1, and these are FREE too!

Reach Dental Floss. Also $1. Use the .50 coupon from 4/11 RP, which doubles to $1, and it’s FREE! And, there’s also a plethora of $1 coupons available for this, which will net you many more free… 5/16 RP, 3/7 RP, 1/3 RP, 10/18/09 RP, or 10/4/09 RP.

Reach Total Care Toothbrushes. They’re also $1. Use the $1 coupons from 3/7 RP and/or 10/18/09 RP and they’re FREE! You can also print a $2-off-2 coupon, buy 2, and get two MORE free. (And remember, print it twice, and get two more!)

Moving into the “Not free, but cheap!” category, here’s a deal on Gillette body wash. It’s on sale for $4.29 B1G1F. Use the $4-off-2 coupon from 5/2 PG and pay .29 for two, or about .15 each…

Dial bar or pump soaps are a steal too this week. They’re on sale for $1 (like half the store is, it seems.) Use the .35 coupon from 6/13 RP, which doubles to .70, and you’ll take Dial home for .30.

Dan-o-Nino kids’ yogurt multipacks are on sale for $2. Use the $1.50 coupon from 6/6 SS and take the six-pack home for .50! Dannon DanActive and Dannon Activia are also on sale for $2. With the $1 coupons from 6/6 SS and 5/2 SS, you’ll pay $1 per four-pack — also a good price.

Post cereals are pretty cheap this week too. On sale for $1.25 a box, use the $1-off-2 coupon from 5/16 SS (there are TWO coupons in the insert) and knock the price to a much better .75/box!

Hilander meat deals:

• Tyson split chicken breasts, drumsticks or thighs are $1/lb.
• Ground chuck is $1.87/lb.
• Boneless pork sirloin, roast or chops are $1.79/lb.
• Boneless pork loin is $1.99/lb.

Hilander produce deals:

• Fresh Selections bagged garden salads are $1
• 1lb. bags of Kroger mini carrots are $1

Remember too that Hilander doubles coupons up to .55 face value every day! You are only allowed to double two of the SAME coupon per day though — additional coupons will ring at face value. (Split your trips if you’re stocking up!)

Readers outside Illinois will want to check with their local Kroger or Kroger-affiliated stores to determine how they handle coupon doubling.

A multiple-inserts body wash scenario
(You’ll need two inserts from 6/6 PG to make this one shine…)

Buy 6 Gillette or Old Spice body washes (make sure you have two of the same kind for each coupon used.)

Use three B1G1F coupons for the body wash (again, whatever types you have.)

Pay $11.97 and get $10 back in Target gift cards! 6 bottles of body wash for $1.97!

If you go with the Old Spice body wash, also make sure to use the coupon for free Fresh Collection deodorant for buying 2 body washes. Fresh Collection is not included in the gift card deal, but it will be FREE too and sweeten this nicely.

Here’s a little deal on Aveeno body wash (is anyone tired of free and cheap body wash yet? I hope not!) The “Fig and Shea Butter” variety of 16oz. Aveeno Active Naturals body wash is on sale for $1.25 at most stores. Buy two and use the $2-off-2 coupon from 6/20 SS. You’ll pay .50 for two, or .25 each! This sale is scheduled to run through 7/10.

There’s also a $10 rebate out for Aveeno when you spend $25 in one transaction — if you’re an Aveeno fan, you may be able to work the body wash in as a filler or two to get you over that $25 mark.

Here’s a deal on Schick Hydro razors! They’re on sale for $7.99 each at most stores. Stack the $4 Target store coupon from 6/20 SS with the $4 manufacturer coupon from 6/13 SS, and guess what… your razor is FREE! Thanks to HeatherPate for spotting yet another FREE razor deal!

Not a grocery deal, but crazy-cheap — Target has 16′ Banzai “Soak N Splash” yard waterslides (think “Slip N’ Slide”) for $3.99! Your kids like great deals too! (Or, perhaps YOU enjoy sliding on a wet plastic sprinkler when it’s hot outside.)

At any rate, I bought an identical one of these for my kids last FALL on clearance for $3.99 (at 75% off, down from $12-something) — now you can get it at a great price when it’s in season :) This is a no-raincheck deal, so expect these to move fast…

Ray-O-Vac batteries are $1 in Target’s Dollar Spot. $1 printable. ‘Nuff said.

The Sobe LifeWater water deal we’ve seen in past weeks is back again! Buy ten Sobe Lifewaters at $1 each and get a $5 Target gift card, which works out to .50 each. Now, make this better with coupons… Target’s got a .50 store coupon you can use on one of your bottles, bringing your grand total to $4.50. And, if you play this Sobe online game, many people will win a B1G1F coupon for the Sobe. If you do, print 2, and ultimately pay $2.50 for ten Sobe LifeWaters! Nice!

Also back (again!) is the Scrubbing Bubbles Extend-a-Clean sprayer deal. This time, the spray cleaner is on sale for $6.99. Use the $5 manufacturer coupon from 6/13 SS and stack it with this $3 Target store coupon. $8 in coupon value on a $6.99 sprayer = FREE with overage! Make sure you give the clerk the store coupon LAST for the overage to ring correctly… and have something else on the belt to eat up your overage…

Deals continuing from previous weeks:

UPDATED for 6/21! Ready for some travel-sized freebies? Any time a coupon says it’s good on ANY size of a product, use it on the travel size. With many travel sizes under $1, a $1 coupon makes them FREE! (Yes, it is Target’s policy to accept these and adjust down to .97 or whatever the exact price is.) So, buy travel sizes of the following…

Axe deodorant – .97. Use printable.

Dove hair spray – .97. Use printable.

Vaseline Aloe Fresh Lotion – .97. Use $1 printable.

Shout stain wipes – .97. Use printable

SOME editions of the 5/16 RP contained a Target store coupon for $1 off any Bounty paper towels. Single rolls of Bounty Basic sell for .99 at most Targets! Get a roll free (through 7/31!)

Target has launched mobile Target coupons which you can load to your phone. They are Target store coupons that you can stack manufacturer coupons with. Load coupons here. You can also print these offers by going to www.target.com/save and entering your phone number.

Remember too that you get .5 off your total at Target for each reusable bag you bring and use!

Drugstore Deals

Heading to Walgreens…

Are you free-body-washed out yet? Seriously, not a single one of my readers should be smelling anything less than squeaky clean after all of these FREE body wash deals. And here’s another!

Both Old Spice and Gillette body washes are on sale for $4.49 with $4.49 back in Register Rewards. The RRs make them free… coupons make them even better! Use the B1G1F coupons from either 4/18 RP or 6/6 PG, buy two of the same brand, and get BOTH free after RRs! Note that you can only do one Old Spice OR Gillette body wash deal per transaction.

If you go with the Old Spice body wash, also make sure to use the coupon for free Fresh Collection deodorant for buying 2 body washes.

Now, note that Old Spice and Gillette are also involved in a “Spend $25, get $10 in RRs deal too – but it’s on deodorant, shave prep, men’s skin care (read: moisturizer) and Fusion ProGlide cartridges. If you use the Old Spice and get the free deodorant, the deodorant DOES count toward the $25…

Why not get some free shampoo with that body wash too? Herbal Essences shampoo is on sale for $2.99 with $2 back in RRs. Use the $1 coupon from 5/16 RP, pay $1.99… and get $2 back! FREE!

Bausch and Lomb Renu contact lens solution is $7.49 with $7.49 back in RRs too — FREE! Use them $2 coupon from 6/6 SS to make it a moneymaker! Don’t you love getting paid to shop?

Lysol Toilet Bowl Cleaner‘s a good buy this week too. It’s on sale for $2.99, B1G1F. Buy two and use the $1-off-2 coupon from 6/6 SS or two .50 printables. You’ll pay $1.99 for two, or about $1 each. Now, here’s the surprise… buying 2 also generates a $1 RR! Now you’re down to $1 for 2, or .50 each… an excellent price!

Note that this bonus $1 RR is unadvertised, so it could end at any time.

Rephresh Brilliant pH 18ct. tampons are on sale for $5.99 with $5 back in RRs – .99 after the deal. (You probably don’t even want to know what these do. Okay, maybe you do. They’re supposed to reduce the “usual pH increase during your period. O-kay.)

And, let’s wrap Wags up with yet another cheap razor deal… the Gillette Fusion ProGlide razor is $9.89 with a $5 RR. Use the $4 coupon from 6/6 PG, pay $5.89 and get $5 back! That’s a nice “expensive” razor for .89!

And finally, over at CVS…

The big, super-hot deal this week is on Huggies diapers! (Parents with children in diapers will be LOVING this week, between the Dominick’s Pampers deal and this amazing Huggies score!)

Here’s the deal. 56-96 ct. boxes of Huggies Snug & Dry or Little Movers (yes, the BIG boxes!) are on sale for $19.99 with $10 back in Extra Care Bucks. The ECB cuts the price in half. Let’s cut it more.

Print this $3 Huggies manufacturer coupon (and print it FAST because it’s likely to hit its print limit very quickly this week due to this great, nationwide sale). Then, BEFORE you do this deal at the store, scan your CVS card at the price scanner in the store. Many people have reported getting a $3 CVS STORE coupon for the Huggies when they scan their card, and if you’re doing the math along with me, you know how nice this deal’s starting to look!

With a $3 manufacturer coupon and a $3 CVS store coupon, you’ll pay $13.99 and get $10 back in ECBs… that’s the BIG box of Huggies for $3.99! An absolute steal.

Even if you don’t get the bonus $3 store coupon, this is still a fantastic buy — and, in the event that the $3 coupon disappears in the blink of an eye, Target also has a $3 Little Movers manufacturer coupon on their site. (Note that CVS may or may not fuss about using a manufacturer coupon with another store’s logo.) The 6/20 SS has a $1.50 manufacturer coupon too. This deal is limit 1.

Colgate Total Advanced or Enamel Strength toothpaste is on sale for $2.99. You’ll get $2 back in ECBs when you buy it (limit 2.) Use the $1 coupon in 6/6 SS, pay $1.99 and get $2 back! FREE toothpaste!

There’s also a .75 printable which will result in .25 toothpaste if you only have one coupon insert and would like to take advantage of the “limit 2” on this deal.

Just as it is at Wags this week, Gillette Fusion ProGlide razor is $9.97 with a $5 RR. Use the $4 coupon from 6/6 PG, pay $5.89 and get $5 back in ECBs! That’s a nice “expensive” razor for .97!

Deals continuing from previous weeks:

Pure & Natural or Pure & Simple PowerBars are on sale for .99 on a month-long June ECB special. Buy one and get .99 back in Extra Care Bucks (limit 3!) (This deal, which has been running all month, is finally in the ad this week. It says it’s limit 2. Unless they’ve changed it from last week (I did it Friday, 6/18) it’s actually limit 3.

CVS Tip: Remember to always scan your CVS card at the price scanner in the store — it prints bonus coupons for you!

* (All You magazine is not a requirement for using the site, but if you like coupons, you will probably really enjoy it. It’s a cheap ($2.49 an issue) magazine that is absolutely filled with coupons each month — typically $50-$100 worth per issue! You can subscribe to All You online and save about $10/year off the cover price. And depending on the values, if you use 2 or 3 coupons alone from each issue, you’ve recouped the cost of the magazine, and you’re on your way to even bigger savings.)
