WalMart

Look at these WalMart freebies HERE

Freebies like these - shampoo, deodorant, etc. are good to have around for when you go out of town. They usually come in trial size.

CVS

Did any of you look at the CVS ad for this week online? It isn't the same one that we have here in Greenville. I'm not sure why this is. Do any of you know?

There are a few good things on sale this week.

Alberto VO5 is on sale 2/$1. This amounts to half off the original price.

Colgate toothpaste or toothbrushes (read the ad to see which colgate items are on sale) are 2/$3 look for a coupon to make this a little better deal.

Irish Spring bar soap 3 pack is on sale for 99cents. In this week's Post Dispatch there was a coupon for 30 cents off. Get 3 bars for 70 cents.

How are you guys doing getting deals at CVS?

Coupon Tip

Did you know that some coupons don't specify the size of the item that you have to purchase? For instance I had a coupon that was $3 off of two Head and Shoulders shampoos. The coupon did not say the shampoo had to be a certain size. I found trial size Head and Shoulders shampoo at WalMart and used this coupon to get them free!

Before you throw away coupons look to see if they specify a size, if not save them and look at the trial size items at whatever store you go to. You could end up getting lots of free things.

Attention Teachers

Staples stores are having teacher appreciation days in August.

All teachers, including homeschooling moms, will receive a tote bag full of goodies on Teacher Appreciation Day at your local Staples.

We don't have any that are very local but both Springfield and Matton are having their events on August 16th if you want to make the trip.

New Look

Well, I was tired of brown...what can I say.

Be the first person to mention the new look to me tonight at the Coupon Club meeting and win a prize.

Beer Bread

I just found two recipes for making your own Beer Bread...it is supposed to taste very similar to the Tastefully Simple version and costs approximately 1/5 as much to make as buying the mix.

HERE is the link.

Yum, Yum, Yum!

If you need to go to St. L for any reason make sure you do it on July 30th.

While you're there stop by the Cheesecake Factory in the Galeria for a $1.50 piece of cheesecake. (And trust me, their cheesecake slices are the $10 size.)

HERE are the details.

I'm so sad I'll be on vacation. Hey, maybe there is a Cheesecake Factory in Paducah, Kentucky. Gotta check.

School Supply Deals

Office Depot may be an even cheaper place to buy school supplies than Wal-Mart. Check out the deals HERE.

And here is a tip about buying school supplies.

The stores put all of the school supplies together in one spot to make shopping for them easier. The problem? They only put the name brand items in the school supply section. So don't forget to go on out in to the store to find the cheaper generic version of things like Kleenex, anti-bacterial wipes, Germ-X, etc.

Money Maker

Even better than a freebie....HERE is a money maker from BeCentsable.

Free Movies

Here is some info from Missy D. about free Fisher Price movies:

I have ordered free DVD's from Fisher Price before & they always come. Here are the 2 latest they have. You do not have to enter CC info. You know, they want your kids to fall in love with the characters & buy their toys. :)

On one of them, I got a screen saying that due to high volume I needed to come back later to place my order, I just hit my back button & ordered again & it went through fine.

http://www.fisher-price.com/fp.aspx?st=5477&e=dvd - Planet Heroes. There are 2 you can get for free right now, Here Comes The Sun and The Ace That Jumped Over The Moon. Just click on where it says get the dvd for free. We have Ace in Space & Here Comes The Sun, my kids LOVE these. They are full length, 1/2 hour episodes.

https://store.mattel.com/transition.aspx?TransitionID=139 - Geo Trax - Team Geo Trax All Aboard! Just select country at top right on screen.

Whoo Hoo! Christmas gifts already!

IGA Deals

IGA has the Yoplait Yo-Plus Yogurt on sale for $2. You can find a $1 printable coupon HERE.

Hello, McFly??

Sorry I've been M.I.A from the couponing scene lately. We've been out of town a lot and frankly I haven't felt like CVS has had much to offer in the way of good deals lately anyway. There weren't any ad flyers in the newspaper because of July 4th either.

But never fear there will be more info coming soon....including another coupon club meeting. Check back for details.

Super Deal at CVS

You may have seen this on some other blogs but Gina tried it here in Greenville and it did work.

The CVS face cleansing cloths cost $2.99 and are giving $2.99 in ECBs.

The paper said that they would only give $1.

Also you can print a $2 OFF COUPON FROM THE CVS BEAUTY HANDBOOK to use with the purchase and you will make money!!

CVS Money

It is the end of the quarter at CVS which means we all get paid. Yippee!

When you shop in July you will get your quarterly money back.

Look for the coupon on the end of your receipt.

IGA Deal

Gina found the following deal at IGA this week.

When you buy 5 jars of Planters peanuts at one time (on sale for $2.50) you get a coupon for $6.50 off your next grocery purchase (basically $6.50 in IGA bucks). That makes them only $1.20/jar.

PLUS if you combine it with the $5 off 10 certain products coupon that is in the sale bill & get say 5 peanuts & 5 Kraft cheeses, you would get all 10 items for only 98 cents each!!!

New to CVSing?

If you are new to CVSing (defined as: getting stuff for free or next to free weekly at CVS) then you need to read FishMama's tutorial HERE.

She gives you the step by step for building your ECBs and saving money at CVS. The tutorial is geared directly for this week's (and month's) deals.

This is a must read if you aren't already taking advantage of all of the deals at CVS.

*Remember: Today starts the July deals. You should probably get them a.s.a.p since we know our store doesn't have a very good track record of reordering sale items.
