Cheap or free this week!

This is my game plan for this week for deals:

WAGS
Free Cutter Bug Spray all month:
If your store has the small packages that are 2/$3, use the $1 ES coupon and $1 manu coupon (6/15 SmartSource) for $1 for 2! (for the record, I couldn't find any small ones at my Walgreens today. . .just big bottles at $7 a pop!! not worth it)

RITE AID
Crest 2.49-1.74SCR-.75 P&G(today's)= FREE
Herbal essence 2/$5- $3 q (P&G-today's) -3SCR = Free
Infusion 4.99- $3q(P&G todays) -1.99 SCR = Free
The SCR is a single check rebate. You can enter your receipts online, and then at the end of the month submit them, and they'll mail you a check, or a gift card. I've never done this before, but I've heard you can get a gift card instead, and they add like 10% or something to your amount! not too shabby

STAPLES:
1¢ 8-pack pencils limit 2
1¢ pocket folders limit 10
1¢ Purell sanitizer limit 2
25¢ .5" OR 1" binders limit 4
FREE AR 4-pack Pental highlighters (after rebate of 4.99)

rumor also has it that staples will have more penny sales coming up as school is getting closer to starting!!

slacking and lack of deals

I have been slacking lately, and I apologize. There have been a few deals in the past few weeks that I haven't blogged about, but are now over. :( if it makes you feel better, there was only one deal this week, and I screwed it up anyway. A screaming munchkin can do that to you!

But if you're able to before sunday. . .go to WALGREENS

Their JUMBO (not mega, those are the ones that I bought) packs of diapers are on sale for $5.99 a pack. There's a coupon in their easy saver catalog (at the front of the store, by the weekly ads) for $5 off 2 packs. Their ad for this week, buy 3 of any participating items (jumbo pack diapers, children's motin/tylanol, desitin, formula, and johnsons lotion/body wash) and get $5 RR (register reward--aka--coupon for $5 off your next purchase)

soooo. . .that comes to $17 for 3 packs of diapers, the coupon takes $5 off, (now $12) and then you get $5 to use on your next purchase. Ends up at $7 for three packs of diapers. I don't know the count on the diapers. I''m guess around thirty? (the megas I bought had around 50) either way, $7 for 90 diapers?? I'm not so good at math, but that's less than $.10 a diaper.

Pretty darn good deal.

Or stock up on the johnson's wash and desitin and give them away as gifts! There's also a coupon in the ESC for the desitin ($1 off, not much)

as for grocery deals. . .Smith's apparently has 5lb bag of grated cheese on sale for $9.99 That's an awesome price for cheese!! I buy my 5lb brick at costco for $13!! Grated cheese also freezes really well so you can divide it into individual baggies in your freezer, and just pull them out as needed!

I also just learned that smith's and kroger's are owned by the same company. So if you see an awesome kroger's deal, and are kicking yourself because you don't have a krogers, check yoour smith's ad and you might be lucky!

that's all for now folks. Get ready for a recipe on Recipes of a Cheapskate though! I've got some BBQ tonight, and a fresh fruit lasagna! (yes, I said fruit)
