Here are this week's picks for freebies for charity or for your own stock-pile. I made it to Walgreen's today but won't get to CVS til later in the week. I think they're both worth checking out this week for different reasons. If you have RR that will expire, head to Walgreen's for sure.
WALGREEN'S: Click here for Southern Saver's match-ups and here for Coupon Katie's picks. I tried to get a good deal on Milano cookies, but the Middlebrook Pike store didn't have that size in stock. The Playtex rubber glove coupon didn't match the product on sale; it might work, but I didn't want the fuss if it didn't. I decided to get the free Schik razor deal at CVS since I like their rewards better, but you could use one at CVS and one at Walgreen's. And the Hershey's deal wasn't possible because the bag was too small for the coupon. Again, it might work, but I try to be true to buy specifically what the coupon is intended for.
Here's what I bought since I had 2 $2RR and 2 $1.50RR expiring this week.
Transaction #1:
1 EOS organic lip balm (normally $3.49, on sale for $3, get $3RR=FREE)
1 Crest toothpaste (normally $2.49, on sale for $1.99, get $1RR, with $1/1MC=FREE)
2 Nivea lip balms (normally $2.99 each, on sale for $.99, with $1/1MC from All You magazine=FREE)
1 Russel Stover chocolate ($.29 for filler item)
--Used 2 $2RR from previous trips
--Used $1/1 Crest coupon
--Used 2 $1/1 Nivea coupons
Total spent: $.95
Total saved: $12.27
RRs for next time: $3 and $1
Transaction #2:
1 EOS lip balm
--Used $1.50 RR
Total spent: $1.78
Total saved: $1.99
RR for next time: $3
Transaction #3:
1 EOS lip balm
--Used $1.50 RR
Total spent: $1.78
Total saved: $1.99
RR for next time: $3
Note: I could have gotten another $.29 filler item and used 2 $1.50RR in transaction #2, but I wasn't thinking and hey--more to donate.
CVS: Click here for Southern Saver's match-ups and click here for Coupon Katie's picks. I plan to get the free razor, free multi-purpose solution, and free nail polish. There were no more prints for the B&L or Revlon when I went to print those coupons. Make sure you scan your card at the kiosk before shopping to see if you get the $7 off $15 Revlon coupon that will make it a great money-maker when you buy 4 nail polishes. I may also pick up some CVS earth essentials (toilet paper made from recycled paper.)
KROGER: I didn't see any free hygiene products this week, but you can get 10 free packs of cream cheese (on sale for $.99, use 2 $5/5 printables). That will be for my stockpile and not to donate.
