CVS Grand Plan – 2/28 – 3/6

Lessie — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 15:27:55 +0000

Well, it isn’t a FAB week, but it is a good one. If you don’t like doing the Mail-In rebates, then this week is probably a ‘skip’ week for you. There are 2 Mail-In rebates and they make the plan work.

Qty	Description	Each	Subtotal	Cpn & EBS	Final Cost
1	Power Bar Energy Blasts **See note	$1.50	$1.50	($1.50)	$0.00
1	Soft Soap Body Wash	$4.99	$4.99	($5.00)	($0.01)

	ECB – Body Wash (Limit 1)		($4.00)
	ECB – Aveeno ECB $5 WYB 1 (Limit 1)		($5.00)
	MAIL IN REBATE – Aveeno		($10.00)
	MAIL IN REBATE – Prevacid (Parade Magazine 2/28)		($19.99)



	Final Total After ECB		($0.02)
Some people received a coupon for these Energy Blast Gels in their 1/3 or 1/10 SS insert. I was not one of the few.
You must register for the Aveeno printable and Mail In rebate. Be Ready to print when you register. Cuz, right after you submit the form a box will come up saying your request has been submitted and then just hang on a sec and the coupon printer will come up.
The Rebate form in the USA Weekend / Parade Magazine is supposedly going to be for up to $25.99 for a 42ct. (less $4 because they are assuming you would use a coupon)

Another Soft Soap coupon can be printed HERE, however it is only for 75c off. And some people have reported problems getting the coupon to print. So, I suggest using the one from the All You Magazine. If you haven’t yet signed up for All You and would like to, Take a look at my post HERE.

Another side note: The Mail-in rebate for the Prevacid came in today’s (Sunday’s) paper. After reading the fine print (it states that they will reimburse you the purchase price less $4), I believe the rebate would be for $19.99 less the $4…so $15.99, not $19.99. To get a better deal, I would just go to Walgreens to get the Prevacid. See my Walgreens Grand Plan.

Happy CVS’ing this week!

Walgreens Grand Plan – 2/28 – 3/6

Lessie — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 04:40:47 +0000

Well, I don’t do a grand plan every week for Walgreens, but this week….I couldn’t resist. There are so many great deals. Please note that the Prevacid Mail In Rebate is only one per household, so if you take advantage of that deal in the CVS Grand Plan, you won’t be able to take advantage of it here. Also, Walgreens Register Rewards are funny. They aren’t as easy to use as the CVS Extra Care Bucks…so, take note. You cannot use a Register Reward on the item that you received the reward for and get another reward (referred to as “Rolling”). Also, the Register Reward counts as a MANUFACTURER’S Coupon. So, that means you need to have the same number or more items as coupons. So if you are buying 2 items, and you have 2 coupons for those 2 items, you CANNOT use a Register Reward to help pay the balance. You will need to add a cheap filler item to use your reward. OR, you can find other stuff that you need in the store that is a good/great price, and use the Register Reward to pay for those items. Ok, all that disclaimer stuff out the way…..Here is my Grand Plan. Note, that it relies very heavily on the Prevacid Mail In Rebate to keep the cost down.

Qty	Description	Each	Subtotal	Cpn & RR	Final Cost
2	Kotex Pads (part of Kotex/Cottonelle deal)	$2.99	$5.98	($6.00)	($0.02)

	Final Total After ECB		$5.40

Notes:
The Nyquil/Dayquil coupon for $2 off expires 2/28….If you won’t be doing the grand plan today (Sunday), then you will want to use the $1.50 coupons found in the PG2/7

Another side note: The Mail-in rebate for the Prevacid came in today’s (Sunday’s) paper. After reading the fine print (it states that they will reimburse you the purchase price less $4), I believe the rebate would be for $25.99 less the $4…so $21.99, not $23.99. This is confusing, because it could also be for $19.99 if the instant coupon shows up on the same line as the Prevacid and it shows that the cost was just $23.99. Ok, so now that I confused you too….that was my heads up.

CVS Grand Plan & Other Deals 1/31 – 2/6

CVS Grand Plan 1/17 – 1/23

OH NO, I violated my $5 rule. Well, that is because of the Pepsi deal. I am getting ready for the Superbowl party happening 2/7 and I will start collecting munchies and drinks for that…so when I saw the Pepsi deal, I am able to get nuts, pita chips and pepsi 12 packs for $1.14 each…..hummm, just too good to pass up. So, I put it in my Grand Plan. If these are items you don’t need (and you have already gotten your monthly bonus buy items) then you may want to sit this week out…since the deals aren’t GREAT!

Walgreens Grand Plan 1/3 – 1/9 (updated)

Lessie — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 05:32:31 +0000

Rarely do I do a Grand Plan for Walgreens. First, because the Register Rewards that you earn expire sooooooo fast, you only have 2 weeks to use them. Second, the Register Rewards are considered Manufacturer’s coupons. So, that means when you go to purchase an item…and you have a coupon for that item and you want to pay for it with a Register Reward, the cash register will beep and it will not be allowed. Because, TECHNICALLY, you are using 2 Manufacturer’s coupons on the same item. SOOOOOO, to get around this, I have to say that I rarely shop at Walgreens unless the deals are just too good to pass up. This week is that exception. There are just too many good deals for things I need and use, that I can’t pass the store up. So, I have made a grand plan for the week….I will stick to this plan. In order to get more than the limit (say on the Electrosol), you will need to do separate transactions. When you start doing separate transactions, things can get a little confusing as to what RR was issued for what product (because you can’t use it on the same product and get another RR). So, my suggestion, plan your trip like this:
Have a separate transaction at the end that has the stuff you NEED that are at good prices and use your RR’s on these items to get them out of your hand and ensure they don’t expire.
You can plan a trip to Albertsons’ (in the phx area) immediately following your Walgreens trip. (Albertson’s here will accept competitor coupons and Register Rewards qualify).
Or, last, divide the grand plan into 2 plans….where you puchase the top half and use the Register Rewards earned to purchase the second half. If you do this, you will need to add filler items (such as a 19c pocket folder, a 25c peice of candy, yadda yadda)….

Now on to the Grand Plan:

UPDATE: The John Frieda Root Awakening products aren’t generating the Register Rewards (Thanks Tara for letting me know). Apparently these are only being generated by the Frizz Ease line of John Frieda. Please let me know if anyone else has had any issues. (this is one of the reasons I don’t do Walgreens grand plans… :-0)

The Healthy Savings Store Coupon book is located near the pharmacy at my store. And you only need to have them scan the coupon once, and it will take the amount off for each one you picked up. In the case of Theraflu, you picked up 2 so it will automatically deduct $4.
The November coupon book should been located near the entrance of your Walgreens. As with the Theraflu coupon, you should only have to have them ring this coupon once and it will deduct the amount for each item purchased.
**Dulcolax also has a Mail In Rebate of $5 – Click Here

FYI – The Almay is B1G1 50% Off right now, I am not sure that particular special will be running all month. That may end Saturday 11/7.

Have fun at Walgreens!

If you were in an area that received a coupon in the 10/11 Smart Source for Ricola…there is a dea idea for you. You can buy $20 worth (10 bags) and use 5 B1G1 Free coupons (if that is the variation you received) or if you received the $1 off coupon, you will need to use 10 of those coupons. EIther way, you will receive $10 ECB’s back…so they will be free.

Here is the Grand Plan for this week. I am so excited about this one. Cuz we go thru a ton of Zantac in this household. So, it will be nice to get it for free this week.

Printable for Vaseline Sheer Infusion is no longer available. The Sheer Infusion lotion will still be free without the coupon, but just won’t be a moneymaker.
For the Oral-B Toothbrush deal, 50c per toothbrush is over my maximum of FREE per toothbrush. However, these are really pretty great toothbrushes and if you don’t have a stockpile of 100+ toothbrushes, this may be a good deal for you.
From the Zantac down on my grid are the items that are weekly deals. So, you can use the Register Rewards that you received last week to pay for these items. Or break your shopping trip into 2 transactions and use the first part of my list to help pay for the last part of my list.

A coupon variation – in the Phoenix area, the coupon for the toothbrushes was for 75c not $1.

This week looks great for stocking the shelves. The cereal I put in this grand plan works out to $1.25 a box, which is really good for this particular cereal. But my “stock up” price is under $1 per box. So, I will buy these as a treat, but not stock up on them.

Walgreens is looking good with the monthly deals still going on. Also, the Skippy Peanut Butter and Ragu deal is FAB!!! So, even though I really don’t NEED any more peanut butter and my husband will roll his eyes when I get home, I am going to get this deal. I only have 2 Ragu Sauces left in my pantry, so that will be my excuse….You gals will back me up, right?

CVS Grand Plan – 10/11 – 10/18

Lessie — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 14:36:02 +0000

Wow, I haven’t seen a week this slow at CVS in quite a while. But, never the less, it is VERY slow. I am hoping that there will be a LOT of unadvertised deals pop up this week. If you find one, please come back and leave a comment to let us all know! FYI, I put the Gillette deal on my Grand Plan, because without it….there wasn’t even a plan. But for $2.17 for a Razor and 2 Shave Gels, I think I will pass on it this week. We will just head to Walgreens where we can still get the FREE/MoneyMaker Razor.

Qty	Description	Each	Subtotal	Cpn & ECBS	Final Cost
