May 2008

Thanks to everyone who emailed me about Walgreen’s HOT $10/$30 coupon which is good for tomorrow (Friday) only. Go here to print your coupon.

Depending upon your store’s rules, this coupon can potentially be used for an order that totals $30 before manufacturer’s coupon. Using this coupon and manufacturer’s coupons, you can get some very sweet deals!

If your store does not allow you to use this coupon before manufacturer’s coupons (requiring you to have a total of $30 after manufacturer’s coupons), then my advice is to use it on the free-after-rebate items in the monthly EasySaver booklet (see more details on the program here, if you’re new to shopping at Walgreens). You’ll have to pay more out-of-pocket upfront, but this way you can still use the $10/$30 coupon, only spend around $20 and get $30 back (or more if you use manufacturer’s coupons on the rebate items, too!) as a rebate at the end of the month.

For those who have already purchased all of the May free-after-rebate items, the June rebate items begin May 30, 2008 so you can go ahead and get a great headstart on those. (I’ll have full details on these on Saturday, but you can see a sneak preview here courtesy of Hot Coupon World!)

Also, May 30-31, 2008 the May/June EasySaver book coupons overlap (meaning you can use two EasySaver coupons in addition to one manufacturer’s coupon per item) so there are some good deals to be had with those.

Note: If you are planning on using any of the June EasySaver coupons, I
recommend that you go ahead and print them from the PDF booklet here
in case your store doesn’t have the booklets in yet. Better to be
overly-prepared!

Here are the overlap deals:

Schick Quattro Titanium Razor or Trimmer – $11.99
Use $3/1 coupon from 05/18 insert
Use $3/1 May EasySaver coupon
Use $4/1 June EasySaver coupon
$0.99 after coupons

Edge Shave Gel – $3.99
Use $1/1 manufacturer’s coupon
Use $1/1 May EasySaver coupon
Use $1/1 June EasySaver coupon
$0.99 after coupons

*Deal Idea* (if your store allows you to use the $10/$30 for $30 worth of merchandise before coupons)
Buy 2 razors
Buy 2 shaving gels
Add on a $0.25 item
Use $10/$30
Use coupons mentioned above
Approx. $0.20 plus tax after coupons!

Bethany just posted all the May/June overlap deals. Here are the rest:

Hawaiian Tropic products: B1G1
50%; use $2 May IVC and $2 June IVC. Some have also found $2
manufacturer’s coupons at Kmart, further reducing OOP expenses. Some
Hawaiian Tropic products are reportedly marked down by 75% in select
stores. If that’s the case at your store, this could be a moneymaker.

Snickers 6-pack: Use $1/2 May IVC and $1/2 June IVC.

L’Oreal Feria Hair Color: Use $2 May IVC, $3 June IVC, and $2/1 or $5/2 manufacturer’s coupon from 3/16 and 4/27.

Raid Ant & Roach Spray, 2 pack: Use $1 May IVC, $1 June IVC, and $1.50 manufacturer’s coupon from 5/11 newspaper insert.

From Allure magazine:

Set the scene for a sensational summer with CVS/pharmacy! Add a
little magic here, a lot of shimmer there, and make your summer sizzle
with the season’s best beauty products. Plus, purchase any two or more
of the featured products at CVS/pharmacy and you’ll receive a
fabulous Allure cosmetic case filled with a selection of summer
must-have samples. The first 1,000 to send in their receipt will
receive an Allure cosmetic case filled with samples! More details here.

Featured products include: 24/7 minerals, Ban deodorant, CVS-brand suncare products, Revlon lipgloss, Tressemme, and more. See all products here.

Since this offer is only for the first 1000 participants and thus there is a chance you won’t receive the Allure cosmetic case, I’d recommend you don’t go out of your way to purchase these items specifically to complete this offer. However, if you have already purchased two of these items at CVS or are planning to purchase them, it is definitely worth the cost of a stamp to see if you are one of the first 1,000.

If you already bought the products for free or almost-free at CVS, you might as well send off for a free cosmetic case and samples!

Thanks, Nicole!

Polly from Nevada emailed me with this deal:

I
have been buying the Cascadian Farms Organic Purely Steam packages at
Wal-Mart for $1.22. After using the $1/1 Cascadian Farm coupon ($1)
they cost me $0.22! They make an excellent lunch and a yummy side dish.

When you sign up for this Muir Glen coupon,
you’ll also get a $1/1 any Cascadian Farms product coupon. You can
select that coupon only (just click to select which area of the page to
print) and print as many as you’d like! There are also $1/1 coupons here. Note: Not all stores have them at this price so be sure to take note of the price before buying. 

 Carrie sent in this deal:

Suave
often has insert coupons for $1 off any size lotion. The 3.25 oz. size,
which is bigger than a trial size, costs $0.97 at my local Wal-mart,
thus making it free! It’s a great way to stock up on lotion.

Did you find any other great deals at Wal-Mart? If so, let us know!
