There is an unadvertised deal at Rite Aid this week on Ban Deodorant.
The best case is if you have (4) of the $1/1 coupons from the 4/18 SS- those were regional though so some got .40/1 coupons.
Here is the deal:
Buy 4 Ban Powder Fresh Solid at $3.49- Buy One Get One 50% off
The price for 4 would be $10.47
Use (4) $1/1 coupons
Pay $6.47
And submit rebate #71- Get $10 back when you buy 4 Ban!
So this is a $3.50 moneymaker and is valid through 5/1 only!
You can also print a .75/1 coupon HERE
There is a new code that can get you 8 bucks until 9 am PDT today from Swagbucks. According to the Swagbucks blog, you can enter the name of one of the Hawaiian Islands in all caps and get 8 bonus bucks! Get all the details by heading over to Swagbucks and then click on Blog in the very bottom left corner.
If you need a little help remembering the Hawaiian Islands click HERE. You can just type the letters in and skip any symbols.
There are new Special K coupons at Target.com. You might grab these now while you can since we see sales on Special K every few weeks.
$1/2 Kellogg’s Special K crackers or bars
$1.50/3 Kellogg’s Special K cereal or 12pk meal bars
$1/2 Kellogg’s Special K protein products
Thanks Tereza!
The best deal:
Special K Crackers $1.99
Use $1/2 Target.com coupon
and Use (2) $1/1 HERE Final Price: .49 each
*I was only able to print the $1 coupon once- so if you have 2 computers you can get two boxes for .49 each. If you have one computer you can get each box for .99.
If you missed the ad in last week’s Target circular for a $1 off tote bag coupon, you can still take advantage of the offer. The directions are HERE but basically you have to mail in 5 plastic Target bags and they will mail you a coupon for $1 off a tote $1.49 or more.
This week CVS has a promotion where you can get the Avatar DVD for $4.99 when you spend $25 in select items. I posted a scenario HERE but Mommy of 3 Kiddos came up with another one.
{Deal Idea}
Buy (2) All at $3.50
Buy (2) Fig Newtons at $1
Buy (2) Wheat Thins at $1
Buy (1) Quilted Northern at $6.99
Buy (1) Lucky Charms at $2.44
Buy (2) Kix at $2.44
Buy Avatar $19.99
Total: $45.30
-$15 instant Avatar savings
-$.75/1 Kix HERE (use 2)
-$.55/1 Lucky Charms HERE (or buy any 2 cereals and use the $1/2 coupon)
-$1/1 Fig Newtons HERE (use 2)
-$1/1 Wheat Thins HERE (use 2)
-$1/1 2x All Laundry HERE (Use 2)
-$.50/1 Quilted Northern from 3/14 RP
The total before tax is $21.75 for all 10 items plus the movie (only about $1.98 each!) If you happen to get a CVS coupon this is an even better deal. The way I look at it is if you were already planning to spend $16 on the DVD- you might as well buy all this for basically $6.
SUNDAY: Steak and sauteed artichokes (I will probably have a veggie burger)
I already made these Morning Muffins and Banana Bread which we have for breakfast with fruit or eggs. Since carrots are .49 a bag this week at Raleys, I will make a big batch of carrot soup tomorrow for lunches this week (along with those Rosemary rolls I stocked up on at Whole Foods). I will alternate the soup with black bean, cheese and brown rice burritos. I make the rice in advance and that is a super fast and easy lunch.
Here is the shopping breakdown for the week. I try to stick to $50 per week for everything except diapers. I usually make several stops each week because I don’t have any great stores (like Publix) and because all of these stores are within 5 miles of my house and most are clustered right next to each other so it is easy to pop in and out.
TARGET: $29.00 This is what things worked out to but I actually did two transactions to use the $5 gift card from the Huggies diapers. I usually find when I have a lot of coupons it is better to do multiple transactions just so I can be sure all the coupons are properly credited.
Huggies Diapers $8.99- used (3) $3 coupons, plus I had (3) $1.50/1 Target coupons (no longer available)= $4.49 per pack plus $5 gift card back
Pampers Diapers on clearance $6.24- Used $1.50/1 Pampers = $4.74
Pampers Wipes $2.39- Used $2 off Target coupon I got in the mail (Get $2 off wyb wipes and diapers) = $.39
4 Bertolli Pasta Sauce at $1.84- used (4) .75/1 coupons and (2) .60/2 coupons = .79 each
2 Snuggle Dryer Sheets at $4.29- used (2) $3 off plus (2) $1.50 off Target coupons= FREE
NYC Nail Polish $1.72- used BOGO coupon from All You magazine= $1.72 for 2
3 Alexia Sweet Potato Fries $1.99- used (3) $1 off coupons (I will be going back for more but I didn’t want to empty the shelf for other people)= .99 each

Rite Aid .57
Johnson and Johnson Conditioner on clearance $2.24- used $1 in ad coupon plus $1 coupon
*I am going to submit this to see if it qualifies for rebate #1.
CVS: $6.69
Sunscreen $2.19
Sunscreen $3.99
and I got $5 ECB back so $1.69 for both!
I also stopped and got the free batteries at Staples. Those we will use for my husband’s business so that won’t come out of my grocery budget. So not including the 4 packs of diapers my total is $40.61. I will probably get several more bags of the Sweet Potato fries since I consider those perfect fast food for my girls.
How was your shopping trip today? Check out my menu plan for the week HERE. Remember I stock up when prices are low so we always have a very full pantry and freezer and I can create a meal plan based upon what I have and what I can get for good prices that week.
