Tuesday is deal-day, but it’s also a birthday! I want to wish a very happy birthday to my sister Lynn today! Lynn loves the Kashi brand of healthy, organic cereals, so for her big day, here’s a great deal on Kashi:
Similar to last week’s Pop-Tart deal, Target is running a promotion on Kashi products. Kashi cereals, cookies, crackers, granola bars, and frozen meals are all on sale 4 for $11. And, for each 4 you buy, you will get a $5 gift card!
Now, you already know the best way to do this deal is to combine coupons with it to get Target to pay you to take this food home. And there are plenty of them out for Kashi!
Like:
$2 off any Kashi product (register with form to get coupons)
$2 off Kashi Vive cereal – same coupon, alternate link here.
$1 off Kashi GoLean Crunch – same coupon, alternate links here and here.
$1 off any Kashi TLC bars (Coupon is on page 32 of Live Right digital magazine – you can print as many as you need.)
You can print each of these coupons twice – just hit the Back button after you’ve printed it the first time. (Note: If some of the links don’t work, try others – all of the links have been active within the past 24 hours, and web coupons can change at any time due to number of downloads, etc.)
So… some possible scenarios:
Buy 2 boxes of Kashi Vive and any other 2 Kashi products. Use the two $2.00 off Vive coupons, and 2 $2.00 off any Kashi product coupons… and you’ll use $8.00 in coupons on your $11.00 total. Pay $3.00 and get a $5.00 gift card! Target’s paying you $2.00 to take home free groceries!
Or, buy 2 boxes of Kashi Vive, 2 boxes of Kashi GoLean, 2 boxes of Kashi TLC bars, and any other 2 Kashi products. Use 2 $2.00 off Vive coupons, 2 $1.00 off GoLean coupons, 2 $1.00 off TLC coupons, and 2 $2.00 off any Kashi coupons. Your before-coupon total will be $22.00 – minus $12.00 in coupons. Pay $10.00 for your 8 Kashi products… and get two $10.00 gift cards back! Any way you look at it, they’re paying you to buy food again. And that’s the best kind of deal!
Here’s another “moneymaker” deal! Would you like to get paid $7 to take home enough cough medicine to last you all winter? Walgreens has Robitussin cough syrup on sale for $3.99. Robitussin’s site has $3.00 off coupons.
Ready for the fun part? For every 3 bottles you buy, you will get a $10.00 Register Reward! Register Rewards are Catalina coupons good on your next purchase at Walgreens – for anything! So, with 3 coupons, you’ll be paying around $3.00… to make $10.00. AND take home 3 bottles of Robitussin! This is a smart time to buy cough and cold products anyway, before you need them and they’re not on sale anymore.
While at Walgreens, grab yourself a free bottle of Crest mouthwash! It’s on sale for $4.49, and last week’s newspaper inserts have a 75-cent off coupon for the mouthwash in them. When you buy the mouthwash, you’ll get a $4.50 Register Reward Catalina coupon — so they’re paying you to take this home too!
You can only do one set of 3 Robitussins and 1 bottle of Crest mouthwash per transaction. Remember, Walgreens does NOT let you “roll” Register Rewards — you cannot take your $14.50 in RRs and try to buy MORE Robitussin and Crest, and pay for it with the first set of coupons. The next set won’t print.
Time for another deodorant deal! This time it’s a free Secret Clinical Strength Sport deodorant for women. (Or perhaps, for guys too, since it’s “strong enough for a man!”) Visit https://secretsport.safeprocessing.com — fill out the form, and get a free deodorant in the mail. (Note: As of 8:00pm 9/9/08, this promotion has ended.)
Lastly, here’s a diaper deal for those of you with little ones — I’ve had a lot of email asking for a good deal on diapers, so here we go..! It’s not the cheapest I’ve seen diapers (it’s hard to beat 6 cents a pack — that one was probably a once in a lifetime deal!) but it will still get you diapers for less than half price:
Target has a deal running with Luvs family packs (the big box.) Family packs are on sale for $15 each. When you buy 2, you get a $5 Target gift card back.
Now, there are other coupons out that you can stack with this deal. Target has store coupons out for $2.00 off boxes of Luvs. The 8/31 P&G insert has a $1.00 off Luvs coupon in it too.
So with these coupons and gift card, it works like this:
2 boxes of Luvs: $30.00
Minus 2 $2.00 Target store coupons: $26.00
Minus 1 $1.00 Luvs coupon: $25.00
Minus $5.00 Target gift card: $20.00
Not bad for 2 boxes of diapers! The regular price of one family pack of Luvs is $18.99. Box quantities vary by diaper size, but for example, a size 3 box has 92 diapers in it. With this deal, it works out to about 10 cents a diaper. Regular-priced diapers are usually 25 cents apiece or more, so this is less than half price. It’s a great time to stock up!
Now… if you are on Luvs mailing list, you may have gotten a $5.00 manufacturer’s coupon in the mail recently. If you have it, use it in conjunction with this same deal (since you’re buying 2 boxes, you can use this plus the $1.00 manufacturer’s coupon from the inserts) and you’ll pay $15.00 for 2 boxes — that’s like getting one free!
And if you are not on the mailing lists for diaper companies… get on them! Pampers, Luvs, and Huggies regularly mail out GREAT mailers with higher-value coupons (like the $5.00 one that went out a few weeks ago) and you can stack these for some great deals. Sign up at their websites and see what you get! With babies and toddlers, you never can have too many coupons for the things they need.
New to this site? It’s very important that you save ALL your coupons from the Sunday paper — not just the ones you think you’ll use! When your coupons come each week, stick them in a folder – date the front (I use a Sharpie) and then… wait for them to line up to great deals! Don’t even cut them out. You’ll only be cutting the ones you need.
These deals reference coupons that appeared in the Chicago Tribune. Other newspapers do not have nearly as many coupons, so if you subscribe to another paper, you may not have the same coupons these deals are calling for. The largest newspaper in any market has the most coupons, and in our area, that’s the Tribune.

I purchased 3 medicines but only received a $5.00 RR. Do you know why?
Thanks
Julie
Bmansmommy says
Are you supposed to print 3 copies of the coupon? …or do I have to fill it out 3 different times?
paulaszum says
FYI – Just to let you know that the Kashi website is still experiencing problems with the coupon for the Vive cereal – I called them and they said they would mail out the coupon, but it will take 7 days.

You mention in the post above…
Walgreens does NOT let you “roll” Register Rewards — you cannot take your $14.50 in RRs and try to buy MORE Robitussin and Crest, and pay for it with the first set of coupons. The next set won’t print.”
Can I use the rewards to purchase another set of Robitussin and Crest…I just won’t get a new set of rewards… correct???

I went to Target on Saturday and the cashier said my internet coupons would not scan so she could not accept them. Have you ever run into this problem and how can it be avoided?
angelz1771 says
For the Robitussin, are you supposed to buy three at once and use three coupons for them? Because the coupon says limited one coupon per purchase.
And what form do you fill out on the Secret site? I didn’t see anything.

Hey I don’t want to get flamed but I can’t beleieve how many complainers there are today. Jill your site is great and the deals it seems like alot of people are just demanding what’s free today and why didn’t I get it.
Look If you didn’t get the $10 at Walgreens why did you leave the store?? It’s right in the ad that you will get 10. Instead of coming here to gripe about it why didn’t you ask the cashier?
And the other person, you really think you can only one one coupon for your whole order at the store? Maybe you are new to this but that seems like…….I can’t even believe anyone would think that. Go watch that video of Jill shopping with Anna Bellavall and she has a whole stack.
Jill I haven’t been to your class yet but the wife and I are coming to Woodridge. And we live in Schaumburg but we don’t want to wait for that class. She just got cut back at work again and we are saving so much $ with your deals, we need how to learn to do this ourselves.
Lastly……I want to say something not many people have said today. Thank you Jill. I’m pretty sure your not getting paid to share this stuff with everyone. And right now we can’t afford to throw you a couple bucks but I would if we could. I didn’t know it could be easy to save with coupons. When you were on the first couple times I thought it was funny. Yet every week you are on Johnny B again with more free stuff and then I start to take this seriously. We got 8 boxes of Kashi free at Target this morning and the cough medicine too. You should know some people are eating more and hurting less thanks to you. So thanks.

daiken625 says
I don’t see the form to complete. Can you offer some additional guidance on this?

I love this site! I got the cough medicine with the 3 coupons at Walgreens and I got the 10.00 coupon too…I did the cough medicines as 1 transaction so that I could get the 10.00 coupon and then did a separate transaction so I could use the 10.00!! After a cart full of stuff for CHEAP I get home and they forgot to give me my cough medicines!! Dang Cashier!! So I have to go back tomorrow to pick up my bag.
I also went to Jewel for the box top deals buy 10 of the products get 5.00 off order got 5 boxes of cereal, 2 boxes fruit roll ups, 1 bag of chex mix and 2 pillsbury ready to bake cookies for 10.65 with all the coupons I had and the 5.00 instant savings + you get 20 extra box tops for your school, which is the main reason I did it because my daughters class is having a contest for most box tops collected.
then on the jewel website with the avenu savings they have 1.25 off danimals…in All You Mag they had a 1.00/1…jewel has them 2/6…with avenue its 2.50 off the 2 and then 2 of the 1.00 coupons…1.50 for 2!! woo hoo! my kids love them!!
coupons.com had 2.00/1 bag of fully cooked perdue breaded chicken strips…I printed 2 and Jewel has them bogo free (sale ending today) 1 bag is 9.99..used both coupons so 5.99 for 2 bags.
Thanks Jill for sharing all your good deals…I have saved a ton of money in the last 2 weeks!!! The day I joined was the day of all the free items with Jewel and the All You Mag…how ironic that my daughter brings home a school fundraiser that day with All You…She was able to sell a bunch of them once I told everyone about the coupons. Wish you had classes out in my area.

I went to the Robitussin site via the link provided, but I could only find a $1.00 off coupon. I searched and searched and filled out their form twice. I was able to get a $2.00 off on the Dimetapp, so I got $1.00 off two Robitussin and $2.00 off one Dimetap. (still a great deal, but not what I had hoped) Did I miss something?
I am still totally into all this stuff and will visit your site often and try on my own to scope out great deals!!
mel79 says
does anyone know if the Kashi deal is still going on at target?
