Deals & Freebies!

Here are some of my favorite finds this week:

@ Walgreens:
Typically each of these pkgs would've been $8.99-9.99, but with coupons and a store deal I got 'em for $5 each (had to reach $25 subtotal after using coupons in order to get a $5 off $25 deal, but I was only at $23 after coupons, so the candies were fillers!) I typically buy boxes of Pampers approx. 60 ct for $18.99, but I switched brands for this deal--it saved me half the cost this time, and the pull-ups are for overnight for KyKy...she's toilet-trained, but it never hurts to be careful overnight or while traveling! Using coupons and a store deal, I got all these for $20:



@ Target:
Just buy using coupons and peelies, I got all of these for FREE:


Since my family's dorky enough to love to play games, and since Target now does price-matching (like Walmart has for years, you just have to bring in the competitor's ad), I snagged a fun deal! The two games below are reg. price $23.99 at Target. But Kmart is selling these games for $14.99 this week. I took the Kmart ad to Target, I had a $5 manufacturer coupon + $5 Target coupon for each of these specific games (so $10 off each), so I got to buy them for $4.99 ea rather than their regular Target price of $23.99 each! The Kmart ad lowered each by $9, my coupons lowered each by another $10, so I saved $19 on each game...I spent approx. $10 and saved $38 on these games:



@ Toys R Us:
What a steal...family-friendly games, including some serious classics, were on sale for $3.99 each. With $25 purchase, customers received a $10 gift card for a future purchase. So Chris and I chose 7 games, spending $27.93 + tax = $30.58. I had a $10 discount already, so I spent $20.58. On top of that, each of those games we purchased offers a $2 mail-in rebate, so we'll be getting $14 back, leaving our total ultimately only $6.58. Yup, that's it, under $1 each for 7 board games! (Now, I realize that most of you who try to snag this deal may not have the $10 break I had up front, so your total spent would be $16.58 after your rebate---but that's still really amazing for 7 games, it's like $2 ea + tax! And ya get a $10 gift card for your next shopping trip!)


Ya know that $10 gift card we received for purchasing the games above? Well, I was totally done shopping for my kids' holiday/birthday gifts, but I had to go back this week and get just one more thing w/ that discount! I put the gift card to use along with a $10 Playskool coupon to get my kids a Christmas gift virtually FREE (I paid tax of $1.89). ToysRUs has the Sit & Spin on sale from $24.99 down to $19.99. The $10 coupon and that $10 gift card canceled all but the tax! Woo hoo, great deal!
