Giant Eagle 7/29 - 8/4

Here are the highlights for this week. If you see any other fantastic deals, let me know.

  • Giant Eagle's ad runs from Thursday to Wednesday.
  • My GE doubles all coupons up to $0.99.
  • Don't forget to load your GE card with Giant Eagle's EOffers and with e-coupons from Shortcuts and Cellfire. (If the same coupon is on more than one site, only load one at a time. After you have redeemed/used the first coupon, then go back and load the next. If you load both to your card, you will loose one of them.)
  • Be careful with the CAT deals. If you do two of the same CAT deals in the same transaction, the CAT may not print. Check your ad to make sure that you separate like CAT deals into separate transactions.
  • Remember, you can order coupons that you don't have from a CouponClippingService.

A big thanks to Renea at SmartSourceCouponPreview for all her hard work putting these previews together.

It's The Huggies Coupon Again!!





I checked this out and the smallest pk. of diapers you'd be able to purchase would be the Mega packs (the size right above the Jumbo packs).

Still, I'm betting that there will be a good sale to use this coupon with soon, so print it out while you can.

Giant Eagle Deal Alert

So . . . did anyone else notice the deal on page 5 of Giant Eagle's ad (start's Thurs.)?

It reads: 1 FREE Hunt's Ketchup 24 oz. instantly when you purchase any 1 Hebrew National product listed below in a single transaction with your GE card.

Then right below that the ad announces: Hebrew National franks 12 oz. pk. B1G1

Hebrew National is somewhere around $5.58/1, so . . .

1 Hebrew National franks (pg. 5) B1G1 = $2.79/1
- $0.75/1 Hebrew National Beef Franks, exp. 8-8-10 (SS 06/20/10) = $1.29/1
And
1 Hunt's Ketchup 24 oz. = FREE

I'm not sure if you will get more than one FREE ketchup per order (Does someone what to try this out?), but you can always purchase the Hebrew Nationals in separate orders and get 1 FREE ketchup each time.

Also . . . there is a coupon for $0.20/1 Hunt's Ketchup, exp. 7-31-10 (SS 06/20/10). I'm wondering if this will also work . . . or not?

$5/$25 COUPONS for Rite Aid This Week!!!

Okay, so I know that this is not as good as $5/$20, but all things considered. I think this is still BIG news.

Debbie emailed me to say that she had found this $5/$25coupon!!! All I can say is YEAH!

Hopefully they'll come out with another one for September.

CVS Deals 7/25 to 7/31

I started putting together scenarios in July after talking with a friend who insisted that you could shop at CVS for FREE after an initial $25 investment. If this was true, it would work well with my budget.  : )  So I decided to give it a try.

Step 1: Buy a $25 CVS gift card. (This helps you to see how much of your initial investment money you've spent.) Tip: If you have to actually buy your $25 gift card, buy it from somewhere that gives you rewards for your purchase (your local grocery store perhaps, Upromise, MyPoints). (I'm a member of MyPoints which allows you to earn pts. for looking at advertisements, among other things. It's slow going, but it doesn't cost me any money. I look at one or two a day and wait for my pts. to accumulate. When I have enough I can redeem them for gift cards. So, to jump start my CVS shopping I redeemed some of my pts. for a $25 gift card.)

Step 2: Get a CVS ExtraCare card (ask for one in the store) and a CVS Green Bag Tag. The tags cost about $1. Hook that tag around any reusable shopping bag (it can even be a plastic CVS bag from a previous purchase) and remember to take it with you to CVS. Every time you go in and make a purchase be sure to have the cashier scan your tag. (Your card will only record 1 scan per day.) You will earn $1 ECB every 4th time the tag is scanned.  : )  (Your Green Bag Tag can be used with any CVS ExtraCare card. So the next time you go CVS shopping with a friend, let them use your tag too. Both your card and your friend's card will record one scan.)

Step 3: Clip/gather your coupons and get ready to go shopping. If this is your first trip to CVS you will not have the ECBs to pay for purchase #1. That's okay. This is where you will want to use your $25 gift card to pay for your purchases.

Note: CVS will not accept any internet coupon with a barcode that does NOT scan.




WEEKLY PURCHASES

Day 1 / Purchase #1

1 U by Kotex (pg. 16) liners 50 to 60 ct., pads 14 to 18 ct., tampons 18 ct. $4.99/1
- $1/1 Kotex U Product Printable =  $3.99/1
[- $1.50/1 Kotex or U by Kotex at CVS (Reinventing Beauty, Jul '10) (This is CVS's Magazine for $0.99 and this is a CVS coupon) = $2.49/2]
- $4.99 ECBs (Limit 1) = MAKE $1 (or MAKE $2.50 if you have the CVS coupon above)

If you can find a July issue of Reinventing Beauty, then add the 2 items below to the transaction: (If not, then complete purchase with just the Kotex.
1 Reinventing Beauty, Jul '10 - if they still have it on the shelves $0.99/1
Make sure you tear out the CVS Kotex coupon to use!

1 $0.50 filler
OR
1 Caliber 1 Subject Notebook (pg. 6) $1/3 = $0.33/1
and 1 $0.17 item . . . if you can find one.

Total before coupons = at least $3.99 + tax (??)
- at least $1 (in MFC)
- $2.99 ECB (Bausch & Lomb) and $1 ECB (M&M's) from last week (Purchase#1and#2)
Total OOP $0 + tax
(Remember to scan Green Bag Tag! - Scan #3) (Scan #1 and #2 done last week.)
Earn $4.99 ECB for Kotex


Day 2 / Purchase #2

1 CVS Photobook $7.99/1
- $7.99 ECBs (Limit 1) = FREE
(Photo Book FAQs thanks to SlickDeals:
- Limit is confirmed to be one.
- Photo book must be created and printed in-store only. Not the same as the online books.
- Make them at the Kodak kiosk.
- Media- Bring photos in on USB flash drives, camera memory cards, CDs or you can scan them on the machine as well.
- Pages print front side only, not front and back.
- Advertised as 10 pages, but you can add a few more and pay for the individual pages.
- # of photos - Will depend on how many you want on each page. If you do 1 per page, then you need 11 photos (10 for the pages and one for the front picture) If you put more on a page, like 3 to 4 pictures, then you would need about 30 to 40 pictures. The more on a page, the smaller the photo.
- Make sure the picture you choose for the title page has the main focus (i.e. faces) in the center of the picture. Otherwise the heads will get off with the window cutout when they put the actual cover on the book.
- Once the machine auto-arranges the photos on a page, you can go to each page to rearrange / resize / zoom-in / change quality, etc. It depends on the time you want to spend on each book.
- Another thing I love to do is use one my own pictures as background (beach shots or nature shots look awesome)
- Once completed, your photo book pages print out (either at the kiosk or behind the photo counter depending on machine) and then the photo personnel needs to bind the book for you.
- There is an expired CRT for $3 off photobooks if your CVS takes expired ones.)

Total before coupons = $7.99 + tax (??)
- $4.99 ECB (Kotex) from Purchase #1 and $3 ECB (Huggies) from last week (Purchase#2)
Total OOP $0 + tax (??)
(Remember to scan Green Bag Tag! - Scan #4)
Earn $7.99 ECB for CVS Photobook
Earn $1 ECB for Green Bag Tag (4th scan)



Day 3 / Purchase #3 (Just to let you know, I was not able to find these at my 2 CVS's)

2 Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock Tubes (pg. 10 - not pictured in ad) 1 oz. $1.99/1 = $3.98/2
(NOTE: Some people have been unable to find these in their stores. Find the cheapest thing you can. It could still be at least FREE after ECBs. If you have to buy a more expensive item, then you don't need to buy any of the extra items below.)
- 2 $2/1 any Neutrogena Product Printable = MAKE $0.02
- $10 ECBs (Limit 1) = MAKE $10.02 (Thanks to Money Saving Mom and Challice!)

2 CVS Pantiliners (not in ad - monthly deal) $1/2- $1 ECB wyb 2 (Limit 3 - you'll only earn 1 ECB per transaction) = FREE


Total before coupons = $4.98 + tax (??)
- $4 (in MFC)
- $1 ECB (from 4th scan - Green Bag Tag)
Total OOP $0 + tax
(Remember to scan Green Bag Tag! - Scan #1)
Earn $10 ECB for Neutrogena
Earn $1 ECB for CVS Pantiliners



Since I wasn't able to find the Neutrogena items at my CVS, I think that I'm done putting together scenarios for the week. I'll wait and see what next week has to offer.
BUT SO FAR:

Total OOP for the week: $0 + tax (using my $25 gift card - haven't had to use it yet this week.)
Remaining ECB $7.99 (CVS Photobook) + $1 (4th scan - Green Bag Tag) + $10 (for Neutrogena) + $1 (for CVS Pantiliners)(instead of $1 from Green Bag Tag) - If you were able to do Purchase #3.

Rite Aid 7/25 to 7/31


A couple of notes to start with:
  1. Make sure you know RiteAid'sCouponPolicy. Print out a copy to keep with you. This will be a great help when you get a cashier, or even a manager, who doesn't know the policy.
  2. Go to Rite Aid AdPerks to watch videos and earn Rite Aid Video Value coupons. You will be able to earn a $5/$25 Rite Aid coupon, as well as a coupon for each product for which you watch a video. While there does not appear to be a limit as to how many Video Values accounts you can have per address, your Wellness+ card will remember which coupons you have used (VV coupons with long barcodes only). You will only be allowed to use 1 coupon (with long barcode) per Wellness+ card per month. Once a coupon with a long barcode has been used, it can not be used again, not even on another Wellness+ card (it will beep at the register and say that it has already been redeemed). If you have a Video Value account and your husband has one too, then you are going to need two Wellness+ cards (one for him and one for you) in order to be able to use all the coupons.
  3. Remember to still print extra of the Video Values coupons with the short barcodes. (Rite Aid Video Values only allows you to choose to print the coupon one time. You can not go back and choose to print it again later. That being said, when you originally choose to print the coupon a print screen will pop up. On that print screen it has a place for you to type in how many times you want the page printed. (NOTE that the coupon is good for 2 months.) While all the Video Values coupons will print more than once. Some have a unique barcode that will only allow you to use the coupons once. Others can still be used more than once. The rule is - long barcode = only 1 use; short barcode = multiple uses.) For more information, please read my post HERE.
  4. Rite Aid rolled out their new program Wellness+ nationwide. If you haven't already done so, sign up for your rewards card online or in stores. You may also wish to consider getting your husband a Wellness+ card too. Starting August 1st all +UP Rewards will be tied to your Wellness+ card. There will be a limit of 1 +UP Reward per card per week.
  5. Print out EXTRA $5/$25Coupons (Thanks to Debbie!). They are good for the entire month of August!

All my scenarios will reflect my personal goal to either make money or at least not to have spent any at the end of the month - after I get my Single Check Rebate, Rite Aid gift cards, and/or MIR checks.

**Unless otherwise indicated, there is a limit of one single check rebate per item.


Wow, there are SO MANY changes going on at Rite Aid right now. It's hard to keep track of them all. However, this is the first week where we will REALLY feel the changes. The $5/$20 June Video Values coupons have expired and the July $5/$20 coupons are one use only. July Adperks also had 2 $5/25 coupons. I'm going to count on being able to use 1 $/$$ coupon per week. (Hopefully RedPlum.com will have a $5/$25 Rite Aid coupon this month. Remember to back it up and print again.)

Remember that right now, +UP Rewards are technically unlimited. Rite Aid is still working out the bugs in their system, so some people are reporting that +UP Rewards print an unlimited amount of times while others only get them to print once per offer. (AS OF AUGUST 1ST ALL +UP REWARDS WILL BE LIMIT ONE PER WELLNESS+ CARD, UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED!) I personally had the +UP Rewards print an unlimited amount of times as long as the +UP was not tied to an in-ad Rite Aid coupon. (Those only printed once.) If you have trouble getting the +UP Rewards to print, give RA a call. They are reimbursing the +UP Rewards that should have printed.

Rite Aid Video Value Coupons Expiring

1. Just a reminder. . . The June Rite Aid Video Value coupons will expire on Saturday (tomorrow)! The July $5/$20 VV coupon is a one time use coupon, so we are going to have to change how we set up our transactions.

2. Tomorrow, the 24th, is the last day to view and earn July's VV coupons. Get on RiteAid'sAdperks and finish watching your videos.

3. This is off topic, but if you have had trouble getting the +UP Rewards to print, give RA a call. They are reimbursing the +UP Rewards that should have printed this week. +UP Reward limits will start August 1st.

Giant Eagle 7/22 - 7/28

Here are the highlights for this week. If you see any other fantastic deals, let me know.


  • Giant Eagle's ad runs from Thursday to Wednesday.
  • My GE doubles all coupons up to $0.99.
  • Don't forget to load your GE card with Giant Eagle's EOffers and with e-coupons from Shortcuts and Cellfire. (If the same coupon is on more than one site, only load one at a time. After you have redeemed/used the first coupon, then go back and load the next. If you load both to your card, you will loose one of them.)
  • Be careful with the CAT deals. If you do two of the same CAT deals in the same transaction, the CAT may not print. Check your ad to make sure that you separate like CAT deals into separate transactions.
  • Remember, you can order coupons that you don't have from a CouponClippingService.
     The cereal deal is still going on. Order your Wheaties coupons here.
 These are the Giant Eagle deals that I see this week: (Obviously, anything that is FREE is a great deal.)

This first deal is a little complicated. I'll do my best to explain it: (same as last week)
12 boxes of cereal (pg. 2) (Yes, you and I are going to have cereal coming out our ears!)


(Below is a list of all participating cereals.)


The best deal I can come up with is as follows:


8 Wheaties Fuel $10/4 = $20/8
- 8 $0.75/1 Wheaties or Wheaties Fuel Cereal, exp. 8-28-10 (SS 07/18/10; Printable; also a $1/1 coupon at Coupons.com) = $8/8
- 1 $1/1 Wheaties Fuel, from EOffer or Shortcuts *** (Do NOT load both the EOffer and the Shortcuts coupon on your card at the same time. If you do, you will loose one of them! Save one of them for another time; or go buy another 12 boxes of cereal another day.) *** = $7/8 OOP


1 Kellogg's Cinnabon (with the Try Me Free Offer - Rebate on back of box.) = $2.50/1 OOP
- MIR on back of box = FREE
(Note: I found a $1/1 MFC coupon for this as well. I'm not sure where it was from.)

2 Honey Nut Cheerios = $5/2
2 $0.75 Honey Nut Cheerios Printable (no longer available - you could just get an 2 more Wheaties Fuel - with coupons, of course) = $2/2
- 1 $0.55 Honey Nut Cheerios Shortcuts coupon = $1.45/2


1 Cheerios (Original box) 8.9 oz = $2.50/1
$0.55/1 Cheerios Cereal, Original PrintablePrintable = $1.40/1
$.55 Original Cheerios, Giant Eagle EOffers = $0.85/1
(Note: I had $0.75/1 coupons for this. Again, I'm not sure where these came from.)


Total OOP = $11.80
- $2.50 MIR
- $0.45/gal. of Fuel Perks (15 gallons of fuel) = $6.75
Real cost to you: $2.55/12
(Obviously, if you have a larger gas tank, this deal will end up being more profitable for you. You could end up making money off the 12 boxes of cereal.)
