Walgreens: Huggies Dipaers for only .92/jumbo pack!

Yep, that is right. Starting tomorrow (Sunday) at Walgreens if you have the right coupons and turn in for the rebate I will show you, Huggies jumbo packs of diapers will only cost you .92/pack!!! Here is the breakdown:

Huggies Jumbo packs of diapers are on sale for $10/1 starting Sunday March 8th at Walgreens. When you purchase $25 worth of select Kimberly Clark products (including the jumbo packs) you get $10 back in RR. So here is how to get the diapers for .92/jumbo pack!

• Buy 3 Jumbo Pack of Huggies Gentle Care diapers=$30
• Use 3 $5/1 coupons from here (NOTE: they reset the coupon so can print more even you reached your limit already!!!!)
• Total OOP= $15 + tax, and get back $10 in RR
• Turn in for .75 refund on each pack you purchase at Caregivers Marketplace (2.25 for 3 packs)

The grand total after RR's and rebate turns out to be only $2.75 for 3 Jumbo packs of Diapers or .92/pack!

Remember that even if you don't have little ones in diapers these make a great baby gift idea!!!

My $37 Grocery Trip!

I went to both Dillons and Aldi today and got some pretty good deals... don't miss how I got 80 ct. tubs of wipes for only .40/1!

Dillons:

• 2 1lb. rolls of 85% lean ground beef on MS for 1.69/1=3.38

• 2 packs of Oscar Mayer Deli meat=$5 (Used $1/2 coupon to get these for $4 or $2/1)
• 3 tubs of Kroger wipes at 2.07/1=$6.21 (used $5/3 coupon from mailer to get these for 1.21 or .40/tub!!!)
• 6 packs of 40 ct. toddler wipes on sale $10/10=$6 (used 6 1/1 coupons found on various packages to get all 6 FREE!)

Total for all this after coupons=$21.58! A savings of 65%!!!

Aldi:

• 4lb. bag of Sunkist oranges=1.29 (what a steal!)
• 1lb. bag of baby carrots=.99

Hy-Vee coupon book

When you visit Hy-Vee be sure to pick up their new coupon book. In it is Hy-Vee specific coupons and there is a coupon for a FREE RED BOX RENTAL!!!

These are usually located at the front of the store where the ads are.

In need of clothing?

I wanted to take an opportunity to alert you to a wonderful program that goes on right here in Topeka at 1135 SW College Ave.  It is called the CAB Care Closet.  This program exists so that ANYONE can come in and receive clothing items they are in need of with no charge.

If you or someone you know is in need of clothing please stop by and check it out.  They have clothing starting at newborn sizes all the way up to 3X sizes in men and women's clothing.

Happy Friday!

Hy-Vee 3-day Sale!

Don't forget about the Hy-Vee 3 day sale going on that started yesterday and ends Saturday. Be sure to check out the other great weekly deals here as well!

Hy-Vee 3 day sale, March 5, 6, 7

• 3 lb. packages of 80% lean ground beef=4.98 (1.66/1lb.!)
• Hy-Vee garden salad=.68/1 (beats Aldi price of .99/1)
  
• Hy-Vee boneless chicken breasts=1.79/lb.
• Hy-Vee canned fruit=.88/1 (beats Aldi price)
• 64 oz of Hy-Vee orange juice=1.28/1
• Midwest county fair bags of frozen veggies=.77/1 (beats Aldi price of .95/1)
• Hy-vee or Midwest county fair baking mixes (muffin, pizza)=4/$1 or .25/1 (stock up!)

Also I didn't post this Wednesday because the deal seems a little shady to me. Also apart of the 3 day sale Hy-Vee is advertising a chest freezer this week on sale for $199. In one part the ad says when you purchase one you will receive up to $200 in COUPON SAVINGS. In another part of the advertisement it says this:

"Purchase chest freezer and receive up to $200 in FREE product" Then they post this

• $199.00 Freezer
• - up to $200 in FREE product
• = free freezer...

So the ad is super UNCLEAR about whether or not if the coupons are for FREE product or for just $$ off products. If it is for $$ off product I would not consider this a free freezer since you don't know what the coupons are for, when they expire and if you will use them. Now if the coupons are for FREE product then sure consider it a free freezer.

Please let me know if you any more info about this deal and the legitimacy of it. Thanks!

Pillsbury Recipes

Since I have gotten so many Pillsbury crescent rolls, cinnamon rolls and biscuits this week at Dillons I thought I would share some of the recipes I am using with these items:

Crescent Rolls:

• Pigs in a Blanket (Cresent Dogs)... with or with out the cheese is always a family fav. around here!
• Ham and Cheese crescent sandwiches. A different approach to just a plain sandwich, my family loves these!
• Crescent Rolls with Fresh Herbs. A nice accompaniment to any meal!

Grands Biscuits:

• Serve with jelly for breakfast along with some yogurt and fruit
• Biscuit sandwiches. This a great breakfast idea!
• Carmel Apple biscuits. This recipe says it is for breakfast, but I think it is a great dessert option!

Cinnamon Rolls:

• Bake them and eat them for breakfast or dessert!

If you have any other ideas please feel free to share them in the comments section!

Dillons: Gillette Shampoo for .19/bottle!

If you visit the clearance section at the 21st and Belle Dillons you just might find a load of Gillette shampoo marked down to $2.19/bottle! In this past Sunday's P&G insert there were $2/1 coupons for this product:

• Buy 1 Gillette Shampoo marked down to 2.19
• Use 2/1 coupon

Pay only .19/bottle!

Bring Back the Coupons

It just recently came to my attention that Red Plum is deciding to pull their coupon inserts from Sunday papers in various states and mailing them to targeted areas instead. While this is not affecting the state of Kansas yet, it could soon.

The problem with Red Plum doing this is that many of the actual coupon users are not receiving coupons because they don't live in the "targeted mailing area." Red Plum is encouraging coupon users to use printable coupons from their site, but as we all know there are not nearly as many internet coupons available as there are paper.

If you want to know more about this issue, or live in a state that just recently stopped receiving the Red Plum insert in your paper please visit this website here. Visit the links and find out what you can do to help bring back the coupons!

Kroger Comfort Wipes Deal

In the past few weeks you may have gotten a Dillon's (Kroger) mailer with baby specific coupons in it. One of those coupons is for $5 off when you buy 3 Kroger Comforts wipes tubs. Here is a great deal you can do:

• Buy 3 tubs of Kroger Comforts wipes (80 ct.) at $2.19/1=$6.57
• Use $5/1 coupon

Total=$1.57 for 3 tubs of wipes or .52 cents each!!!

*Note: The Kroger Comfort toddler wipes (small packages) are on sale 10/$10 use $1/1 coupons found on product packages or out of the mailer to get these FREE! I was actually able to pick up some packages with the old Comforts logo for .79 cents on close out. With the $1/1 coupon these gave me .21 cents overage!

An Even BETTER Diaper deal!

I posted my original plan to pay $9.99 for a Jumbo pack of Pampers and a Mega pack of Playskool diapers at CVS here! To my surprise a CRT for $5/$20 CVS purchase printed at the coupon machine for me this morning. So here is what I did instead geting 2 Mega packs for less than my original plan!

• Buy 2 Playskool Mega packs (I bought size 3=60 diapers... stocking up for the new one)=22.00
• Use $5/$20 CVS purchase CRT (Playskool is CVS brand)
• Use $3/1 Playskool diaper CRT
• Total OOP=$14.00

You get $5 EB back for Purchasing $20 worth of products so your real total is $9.00 for 2 MEGA PACKS of diapers or $4.50 each!
