Well, this week looks like a light week on deals, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some good ones!
Over at Meijer I see free Green Giant Steamers, 10/10 with a $1 coupon from the paper–its FREE!
Over at Kroger I see Birdseye Steamfresh, 10/10 with a .35/1 coupon from the paper–.30/each!
Over at Target I see Stove Top Stuffing for .79 each, with a Buy 4 Get 1 Free q on tearpads at Krogers and other stores! (brings it to about .60 a box, a good deal for the rest of the year!)
Over at CVS I see cheap batteries–and with Christmas approaching, who doesn’t need cheap batteries? Buy $20 of Duracell get $15 in ECB’s. Use the .75 or $1.50/1 q’s from the paper. If you can, look for tearpads of $5/2 CVS q’s, along with a $3/$15 purchase in your area. (The $1.50 q’s were outside the Cincinnati region) If you can get all three q’s, you’ve got $12 in savings–meaning your OOP on $20 of batteries will be close to $8 and you’ll get $15 back in ECB’s! And you can do this three times!!! (Thanks to April for her help with the deal!)
Also at CVS–Kashi Go Lean bars for $1 with $2 printable–free!
So my $10 list looks like this…
11 bags Green Giant Steamfresh–free!
6 bags Steamfresh–$1.80
9-12 pkgs Duracell–$8
2 Kashi Go Lean–free!
$14 in filler at CVS–milk, bread, whatever you need!
total oop:Â $9.80
I’m including in this scenario that you are taking the $15 in ECB’s from your first Duracell transaction to pay for a second one, plus $7 in filler, and doing that twice. Make sense? Buy $20 of Duracell in your first transaction, pay $8 oop, then go back and get $20 more, and use the ECB to pay for them. Since its only $8 oop, you’ll have $7 to spend on other items you need!

Do you have a $3/$15 coupon for the Cincinnati area? I haven’t seen one.
A friend of mine is sending me one–she found them in the pharmacy area of hers.
Hey Theresa .. I went to my cvs last night to get these .. I did not see a $3/$15 anywhere, even looked around the display .. however, i did discover that some of the 16 packs had a $2.50 off coupon attached to the front .. and the 8 packs had a $1 off .. now, the coupon expired in may .. but they still accepted it. Note that it appears my store doesn’t rotate their stock very well .. but I work for a family biz that sells industrial electronics, of which batteries is included, as long as these were stored properly, they should be good to go with the expiration date code on them, mine say 2014. When you get them home, just make sure you keep them in a cool area, basements are good.
Thanks for the update. I’ll look for those!
LMKIA .. I just wanted to say thank you for all that you are doing .. you truly are a blessing! One of the reasons that I never really got serious about using my coupons to their full potential was because I just didn’t completely understand. I did one of those pay services for a while and got absolutely nothing out of it. The fact that you (and some others) share your knowledge for free is so encouraging to see in this me, me, me, do all I can to make a buck, watch out for only yourself society that we live in.
i look forward to your posts and suggestions and can’t wait to attend one of your classes so I can learn even more!
I ran across a very inspiring story on Local 12. In the last 2 weeks, the man featured in the story, bought $1045 worth of groceries for $35.60!! And the best part?? HE BOXED IT ALL UP AND TOOK IT TO THE FREESTORE FOODBANK!! How awesome is that??? Unfortunately, there are some negative people posting comments on this story.
Anyway .. thanks again for all you are doing, you truly are a blessing to the rest of us!
LMKIA,
Thanks for all you do in helping us save money. Also at CVS this week, Atkins bars are 10/$10 - $1 cpn, makes them free. I had 10 coupons, but the store I went to only had 7 left in stock.
Thanks again,
