6 bags of Ricola Mixed Berry Cough Drops
1 Bic Soleil Cartridge Refil
2 Revelon Lip Gloss
2 Revelon Lip Stick
Total Spent: $9.00 Cash
RR Spent: $0.00
RR's Received: $9.00


So here's the breakdown...

Maybelline Lipgloss - Sale $2.99 - BOGO Free (? One store had Maybelline for BOGOF)
Bic Soleil Clearance - $3.79 - Get $3.00 back

Ok, so a few notes you should be aware of:

1. Ricola - There is a $0.50 coupon in the Healthy Savings Coupon Booklet. Each of you has this booklet as I've given it to you during our last class - so that would make all your cough drops, not only free, but a $0.50 money maker. So stock up! Not only will you be getting FREE cough drops, but you'll be making money on them.

Put one in your cart.
Go to the cash register.
Cough drops will ring up for $1.00 (no tax).
Have cashier scan your $0.50 off one Ricola Q
Pay: $0.50 cash/debit/credit
Get: $1.00 RR back - $0.50 money maker!

Then do it again. And again...and again!

2. Maybelline has a few decent clearance deals going on that might be of interest to you. At one WAGS, Maybelline make up was BOGOF and at another one it was BOGO 50%.
Mayb lipgloss is $2.99 and lipstick is $2.19. There were $2 off Q's in the paper a few weeks back. Use them on these deals and you can get some free or cheap lip products.

3. Bic Soleil - some stores have the cartridges on clearance for $3.79 and this week, you'll get $3 RR for each one you purchase - making them $0.79 each. If you don't have the razor but want to get one to match the blades, I'll be happy to sell it to you for $3.50 each - Just let me know. :)

For right now, those are the best deals this week. I'll keep you posted on other deals that work for me.

Next week there will be some GREAT deals happening, so stock up on your RR's and prepare for next week's deals! You'll also want to snag a Children's Coloring Book that can be found in the pharmacy department as this will come in handy for next week's deals!

Happy Shopping!

Side Note: Aussie Shampoo/Conditioner/Hair Products are also free this week - though not pictured - more on that later.

There they go again...Paying me to visit

You guessed it - Walgreens isn't just selling the stuff - they're not giving it away either - they're PAYING YOU to take it off their hands!

And here is the secret weapon on how to do it legally!!

1. Walk into your local Walgreens Store
2. Grab a basket
3. Walk over to your lotion isle and grab 3 bottles of Lubriderm 6 oz lotion - $3.99 each
4. Pull out of your pocket/binder/folio (3) $2.00 off any Lubriderm coupons (note: If you don't have three, you had better start begging your neighbors for theirs..or even PAY them for the coupon. OR get together with a few friends and COMBINE your coupons so EVERYONE wins!)
5. Walk ALL THE WAY to the back of the store to the Pharmacy area. Grab a "Diabetes & You" magazine booklet - if you don't see it - ask the pharmacist for one. It's FREE!
6. Walk back to the front of the store and get in line for the cashier.
7. Wait in line and avoid grabbing ANY extra goodies that they are selling to you for a RIDICULOUS amount of money at the counter.
8. When your turn comes up, Say Hi! to your cashier - and smile because you're about to be the happiest person in the ENTIRE WORLD and may do a funky little dance on your way out the door.
9. Put your 3 bottles of lubriderm on the counter.
10. She will ring your 3 bottles up $3.99 each for a total of $11.97 + tax = $12.81
11. Give the cashier your 3 MFR coupons for $2.00 off any Lubriderm - New Total: $6.81
12. Open up your Diabetes & You booklet and have cashier scan coupon in little attached coupon booklet for $1.00 off any lubriderm lotion (WAGS coupon). This will automatically take $1 off per bottle for a total of $3.00 off - New Total - $3.81
13. Pay $3.81
14. Cashier will hand you your receipt .......AND....$8 RR
15. Do your funky little dance out of the store and home to show your Hubby/Friend/Neighbor/Children/Anyone who will listen, your store receipt AND the $8 RR to PROVE to them that you just got PAID $4.19 to take 3 bottles of lotion off of Walgreens shelf for them!!!


Oh and if you don't have (3) $2.00 off Lubriderm coupons - this is how much you'd pay...

3 MFR coupons + Diabetes & You booklet = Pay $3.81 - Get $8 RR ($4.19 profit)
2 MFR coupons + Diabetes & You booklet = Pay $5.81 - Get $8 RR ($2.19 profit)
1 MFR coupon + Diabetes & You booklet = Pay $7.81 - Get $8 RR ($0.19 profit)
No MFR Coupon + Diabetes & You booklet = Pay $9.81 - Get $8 RR (Cost - $1.81 or $0.61/bottle)

It really doesn't get better than that. Even with ONE MFR coupon - you can still get the deal for FREE with a tiny profit!

Happy Shopping!

Disclaimer: Walgeens Ad says Almay products are B1G1 50% off
But they are ringing up BOGO FREE. I figure it's Wednesday, if they haven't fixed their computers yet - then I can't be blamed for taking advantage of a great deal. If your WAGS rings up BOGO 50% off, then the first deal will still be a money maker - just not as much.

$0.14 pasta at Publix till Thursday!

Right now is the time to stock up on your years supply of pasta!

Yep thats right folks, it doesn't get too much cheaper than this!

Publix (my favorite place), has pasta right now BOGO for $1.29 (at least that's how much the spaghetti is)

A month or so ago, there were $1.00 off 2 boxes of Mueller pasta in the paper. If you still have those, you'll want to use them - if not, I've got your back!

Here's the scenario(s):

Buy 2 boxes of any Mueller Pasta - BOGO - $1.29
Use (1) $1.00/2 Mueller Pasta coupon = $0.29 for 2 boxes or ($0.14/$0.15 per box!)

If you do not have the above coupon, Mueller will make it easy on you.
Buy 2 boxes of Mueller WHOLE WHEAT pasta - BOGO - $1.39
Use (2) $0.55 off any whole wheat pasta HERE = $0.29 for 2 boxes or ($0.14/$0.15 per box!)

So how's that for a great family meal?! Oh and did I mention that you can print AS MANY COUPONS AS YOU WANT from the Mueller website? Yep - so once again - stock up!

Oh and one side note: YMMV - My Publix has 10 packs of FULL SIZED Peanut M&M's on clearance for 2/$6.99 - That's 20 full size packs of Peanut M&M's for $6.99 = $0.35 per pack. Not bad since the cashier will charge you $0.75 per pack at the register! (That's an $8.00 savings!)

Happy Shopping! ~ Mrs. Heath
