Last week's deals

The last two and a half weeks have been very busy. With me going back to work part-time, it's been hard trying to find a new routine for Emily and I; however, we did manage to pick up a few good buys at Walgreens and Rite Aid this week.


I purchased these items at Walgreens, all of which were free after rebate. I was able to use a $0.75 coupon on the toothpaste and the facial lotion had a coupon for $1.00 off if I paid in the cosmetics department. Strange coupon, but I paid in the cosmetics department!


The next purchase is from Rite Aid. Everything was free after rebates and coupons, except the diapers, which were $5.99 after coupons. Now that my little one is in daycare part of the day, I'm looking for good deals on disposables. If you're really looking for a great diaper deal, try out the bumgenius cloth diapers. They're wonderful! And in the long run less expensive.

Walgreens deals for the week

I managed to get a few good deals at Walgreens this week for $6.91 - including tax.
Here's how it worked out:

Bertrolli frozen pasta on sale for $5.99 ($1.50 off coupon, printed $2 Register Reward)
2 boxes of Cheerios on sale for $1.99 (two $1 off one box coupons from the Cheerios Challenge)
3 boxes of Jello on sale for $0.39 each
Wheat Thins (free after coupon from All You magazine - buy 3 Kraft products get Wheat Thins free)
Not shown: one candy bar (how embarrassing!)

This is the first month I've bought All You magazine. I've heard about it on Money Saving Mom for months. It's only available at Walmart and it's best feature is the coupons. I couldn't believe how many coupons are in it. I've only used one coupon and it has more than paid for the magazine!

A great buy at Walgreens

Six boxes of cereal and four boxes of Nutri-grain bars for...$3.50 (that's including tax)! This is probably one of the best buys I've found in quite awhile. Kellogg's has a $10 mail-in rebate (see the Sunday coupon insert) right now if you buy 10 of their participating products, and Walgreen's is giving a $5 register reward when you buy four boxes of Kellogg's cereal and another $5 register reward when you buy four boxes of Nutri-grain bars. My total came to $25 before tax, but when you subtract the rebate, register rewards, and the coupons I had, you're left with $3.50.
