I don't normally shop HyVee, but the last several of weeks they have had GREAT deals. Grab a flyer when you enter the store to get the "in ad coupons". I am also "*" the foods that are at Rock Bottom price (meaning it will be hard to find a better deal and you most likely won't see the same price for several months.) I try to stock up on these products when they are at their lowest, so I don't have to pay full price later.
Crayons, gluestick 2 pack, glue, 1 subject notebooks $0.19 (prices will go up as the school year gets closer)
*HyVee fruit snacks 10 for $10
*Pepsi $0.99

If you haven't already set up an email address on one of the free servers (hotmail, yahoo, gmail, etc...) for these offers, do so first so you don't clutter your own personal inbox. Also, I never put my phone number in these forms. I usually just put 000-000-0000.

Free after Rewards at Walgreen's: Contact Solution & Crayons (& make a little $)
This week August 1 - 7, these are the "free" items you can get at Walgreen's.
(You can actually make money off of the Contact Solution if you have the $2 Q from the Red Plum insert 5/16.)
Get $3 RR WYB (2) Playtex Gentle Glide or Sport Tampons 18pk, 2/$8
Buy 2 – Playtex Gentle Glide Tampons 2/$8 ($6.80 after 15% Q)
Use 2-$1/1 Playtex Gentle Glide Tampons 18ct+ Print Coupon Here (should be on page 4)
Total = $4.80, Get Back $3 RR
$1.80 or $.90 Each!
If you haven't done Walgreen's Rewards before, make sure to read below to see how it works.
I was TOTALLY not a Walgreen's shopper. In fact, I rarely step foot in Walgreen's. However, Walgreen's is EVERYWHERE! Which actually made my first step to saving money easy. I go to the library every week. Walgreen's is next to the library. So now when I need to go to Walgreen's, I just park between the library and Walgreen's and do both runs at the same time. AND I am in and out of the store usually within 5 minutes. It fits in my schedule easily.
So why Walgreen's? Walgreen's has a program called Walgreen's rewards. You buy a product, they will then give you a coupon (good for 2 weeks) off your next purchase. This coupon/reward is often worth the same amount as the purchase price of the product. THIS is how I get a lot of my necessities for free--shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrush, floss, feminine necessities, soap, shaving stuff, etc... All I actually pay for is the tax of the item.
What is so AWESOME about this is--you can take that reward and then use it at other stores (first check that the store accepts Walgreen's rewards and then make sure the store also carries products from that manufacturer--the reward is actually a coupon.) I usually take the coupon to my grocery store and apply it towards my grocery bill. If you reuse the coupon at Walgreen's--things can get complicated...Refer to this link to help you figure that out...(this is why it is just easier to apply the reward to my weekly grocery bill.)
http://www.pocketyourdollars.com/2009/09/how-to-get-great-deals-at-walgreens/
There are also neat ways you can actually MAKE money at Walgreen's....Hello Coupon World!
For example, I will go to Walgreen's tomorrow morning and purchase the crayons for $0.90 (with the 15% Coupon) and then receive $1 Reward. I will then take that Reward to Copp's (where I get my groceries) and double it on double coupon day. This will give me a $2 credit towards my groceries--so in essence, I just made $1.10 and I got free crayons. You will want to check with your grocery store that they accept Walgreen's Rewards, but I know that Copp's on Shopko Drive will. I also have heard that Cub food accepts them, but I would check that out first.
Other great deals (non-rewards) I see at Walgreen's include--dish soap. You can always stack in-store coupons with Manufacturer coupons. Often I will get my dish soap for around $0.50 with their in-store 0.99 coupon and a coupon I have.
HONEY! We go through a LOT of honey. The cheapest I have found honey is $3.69 for 20 oz at Aldi. However, Walgreen's has a 32 oz honey that goes on sale about once a month for $3.99 with store coupon AND there is a $1 coupon for it--so you can get it for $2.99!
Jello/Pudding --yeah--I am not a big fan either, but the kids like it. Once a month I see it for 4 or 5 boxes for $1 with store coupon. I have also purchased name brand diapers for around $4 a pack as well by using Rewards and coupons.
Those are the deals I enjoy at Walgreen's. But like I said, I really just use the store for my freebies and then apply the Reward dollars towards my grocery bill. This is how I have pretty much eliminated my monthly Walmart run saving us anywhere from $50 - $100 per month. (And yes--I do stock up on things, because I don't always know when things will next go on sale.)
This week I plan to buy the crayons & markers, Dawn dish soap (I have a Q so I will get it for 0.50 with their in-store 0.99 coupon), & Walgreen Batteries. I expect to pay around $5.50, but get $5 back when I double my crayon RR. Not too shabby! What are you buying?
(You can actually make money off of the Contact Solution if you have the $2 Q from the Red Plum insert 5/16.)
(I LOVE $1 Rewards...I will take this Reward to Copp's on Double coupon Day and then Double it--givng me a $2 credit towards my groceries!)
(This one is a mail-in rebate that will print when you check out.)
What makes these deals even better this week is you can pair these "Free" items with the Walgreen's 15% coupon (20% off any Walgreen brand products) and have a few money makers! This coupon is only good through Weds, August 4th! Here is a link to the coupon for you to print.
Here is another great deal if you pair it with the 15% off coupon.
Walgreen's AA Batteries are $0.99 per 6 pack (use coupon in flier). With 20% Q it will be $0.80/pack
Buy 2 – Playtex Gentle Glide Tampons 2/$8 ($6.80 after 15% Q)
Use 2-$1/1 Playtex Gentle Glide Tampons 18ct+ Print Coupon Here (should be on page 4)
Total = $4.80, Get Back $3 RR
$1.80 or $.90 Each!

Being Green with Hand Soap
We are FREQUENT hand washers in my family and we used to go through soap so fast, until now.
(The short story)
If you are looking to save money on liquid hand soap, invest in a soap dispenser with a "foaming nozzle." (really it's just a fancy aerator...but that's another story...) Then when the dispenser is empty, refill half of it with normal liquid soap and the other half with water. And then watch your soap usage get cut in half OR MORE! (I personally have seen our usage drop by 75%!)
(The Long Story)
It is interesting how most soap pumps are made. They actually dispense way more soap than you need. You don't need that much to get a nice lather. I had adjusted my own personal dispense uses to be accurate, however when it came to my son--he was "no holds bar!" In fact, I would find soap all down the side of the sink and the counter. He used WAY too much. Not to mention, he would struggle getting a nice lather with his little hands. Then one day he broke our nice soap dispenser, so off to the store I went.
I planned to get a cheap dispenser, since I didn't want another broken one and settled on a Dial "foaming" soap dispenser. This WAS the solution! The soap use was less, he didn't have to work so hard to lather, and I didn't find soap all over my sink. It was wonderful. That is until we ran out. No way was I going to spend $1.75 on another dispenser or $4 + on refill soap! That's insane! (and of course the bottle says "only refill with Dial foaming soap".)
Well, I am a girl to break all the rules and so I did. I took my normal liquid hand soap and filled the dispenser half way up with soap and the other half with water. Put the nozzle on, shook, and VOILA!--Foaming soap. And I only used half of my normal soap! These companies are trying to get you to pay more for water! (Look at the ingredients! They are pretty smart!) But I figured them out and now you have too!
Old Navy: 50% off Clearance Items

This weekend at Old Navy, I got some wonderful things. I got swim trunks for my son Kylan for $2.50 and 3 shirts for myself for $8. My husband got a pair of jeans for $7.50 and a dress shirt (like the one here but in blue) for $2.50! If you need to get things for next summer, now is the time to go!
Lots of clothes entries...and well that is because I buy most of my clothes the two times of year when they are REALLY cheap! (Which is now, and then in February.)
