Well this week is kind of a let down after last week. I did not find any deals at CVS that I HAD to have and Walgreens was slim pickings as well.
I did get:
Thermacare Heat Wrap Neck/Arm (Single) for $2.49 get $2.50 RR
Triaminic 2/$10 $5 RR when you buy 2
Coupons: Use (2) $3/1 Triaminic Thin Strips from 12/6 SS = $1 money maker after coupons
Colgate Max Fresh Toothpaste $2.99 $2 RR when you buy 1
Coupon: $1 from January All You Magazine
I also got Lubriderm but the sale was not what I had been told when I checked out so I wouldn't really recommend it unless you NEED Lubriderm lotion. I heard it would be $.39 overage but ended up paying $2 for them. Which comes to $1 apiece, still a good savings but I wanted them FREE! LOL
Happy Savings! -Dessy

Adventures of the Insomniac Shopper
In the wee hours of the morning on Tuesday (about 12:30 am) I decided to quit fighting to sleep and hit the drugstores again.
I had been on Sunday my usual day to go but had been alerted to some great deals that hadn't been up when I was there.
Here are some of the deals I scored:
WALGREENS

Reach Ultra Clean Dental Floss (30 yards) $3.79
Use the Buy one get one FREE coupon from the 1/3RP

Use the $2/1 in-ad coupon
FREE + $1.21 in overage!

Buy 2 of The Fragrance Collection By Glade 2 oz candles 2/$5
Use the $3/2 coupon from the December or January issue of All You mag.
Pay $2
Get back a $3RR

Final Price: $.99 (This is good for the SC Johnson $5 rebate visit SCJohnson.com for more info)
Thanks to savingmoneylivinglife.blogspot.com for the heads up on these great deals!
I actually made almost $20 between the $5 SC Johnson rebate and all the overage ECBs from the Oust!
It was such a fun experience that when I was unable to sleep at 2:30 am THIS morning I went back out and did it all over again!
And I did the Electrosol and Stay-Free Maxi Pads again as well.
(Please note that not every store has the same prices on things so the deal may not turn out EXACTLY the same for you. I have learned this through trial and error!)

Sunday Savings 1/3/10
This week was fairly low key at the drugstores but the inserts in the paper were terrific! There were five inserts this week; two Smart Source, two Red Plum and one General Mills. I bought TEN papers! That is the most I've ever bought but I couldn't resist.
AND, I have ALREADY realized that I doubled my investment with ONE coupon! The papers were $1.25 each and in one of the Smart Sources is a coupon for $2.50 off of Electrosol Dishwasher Gel Tablets! (I will explain later how I used these to get them for FREE!)
So, my first stop was CVS where I intended on buying GE Light bulbs priced at $2.99 and using a $1.50/1 printable coupon from the Target website. This deal included a $2 ECB (Extra Care Buck) that I could spend on my next purchase which made the light bulb FREE.
I had also intended to buy two Rubbermaid containers as they were B1G1 for $1.99 and then use two $1/1 coupons from the 1/3 SS insert but I could not find ANY containers and there seemed to be no one working.
I also picked up a Soft Soap hand soap for the bathroom it was on sale for $.99 and I had a $.40 coupon.
All in all not a great shopping trip...
On to Walgreens. I picked up two StayFree Maxi Pads 28-28 count on sale for $6.29. I had a B1G1 coupon from one of the 1/3 SS inserts and Walgreens had an in-ad coupon for $3 off (it rings up in multiples so it took off $6) so I paid $.15 each for the pads!
I used a similar deal for two Reach Ultraclean Toothbrushes (singles). There was a B1G1 coupon in one of the 1/3 RP inserts and an in-ad coupon from Walgreens for $2 which made them both FREE!
And then the Electrosol Tablets were on sale for $3.49 with $1 RR (Register Rewards) when you buy 1; combined with the $2.50 coupon from the 1/3 SS insert those were also FREE!
The Electrosol deal says one per customer so I hit both Walgreens and will do so this week to use all ten of my coupons; this will give me 200 dish washing cycles FREE! I imagine that you may be able to do multiple transactions if your cashiers are patient and you have a manager handy to force the RR (if you use a RR to pay it doesn't like to give back a RR but a manager WILL override this for you).
