An annoyance at Shopko

So here's a head's up that you may find useful:
Shopko does not accept "FREE" coupons, not even those from manufacturers. Such as the Good n Natural bar FREE coupon.
So, for future reference, don't try to get your freebies at Shopko. Definitely a bummer, but there are plenty of other stores where we can use our freebie coupons!

Ps. Rite Aid

Ps. If you are looking for the Finish cleaning products or the Post cereal and cannot find them on the shelves, look on nearby side caps and also end caps near the registers. You will likely find more there. :0) 

Spent!

I am wiped out! I hustled this morning and hit several stores. Things are tight right now because of a stupid little auto thing. No, I am not going to elaborate. Anywho, the Lord always provides!!
I have taken this as yet another challenge! They just keep on coming! Anyway, I did amazing things today and you can do them too!!
First, Rite Aid:

12 Boxes Finish Gel Pacs 20 ct
4 Good n Natural health bars
4 Post Shredded Wheat bites cereal
1 gallon milk
2 Glad cinch trash bags 45 ct
I paid just over $4.
I earned $4 +UP rewards.
So that's like paying $.50 for the whole thing!!

Here's how:

Finish gel pacs or tabs B1G1 @ $6.79 ea (this week only!)
-$2.15/1 Finish

Good n Natural bars $1.49 ea
-FREE Good n Natural bar

Post Cereals (doesn't include Honey bunches Greek or Grape nuts!!) 2/$5
Earn $2+UP wyb 2
-$1/1 Post Shredded wheat
-FREE Milk wyb (4) Post cereals

Glad trash bags (asst styles) B1G1 50% off @$9.49 ea
-$1/1 Glad trash bags (Glad.com)

I earned $6 +UP rewards last week from purchases I made.
I also transferred a prescription the other day and earned $25 +UP rewards for that.
97% savings!!!
That is how it's done!!

Smith's

I ran into Smith's for just a second. I had a small balance left on a gift card. I grabbed 2 boxes of Barilla whole wheat pasta at 10/$10. You don't have to buy 10 to get the deal. I used a -$1/2 coupon and my little gift card and walked out spending nothing. I will use the remaining $.31 later. :)

Walgreen's

I ran in to grab some more FREE Good n Natural bars but they were all out. To make the stop worth it, I hit the clearance end cap. I found a Nature Made bottle of Fish Oil. Regularly $14.99. It was on clearance for $3.49. I had a $2 Nature Made coupon (All You magazine). I also had $.59 left on a gift card from transferring a prescription last week. I paid just $1.00 for the supplements!! It's so great because they were on my list anyway!!! about 92% or so savings!!

Walmart

I was lucky enough to run into a cashier that I used to work with and that made her really easy to work with on my check out!
Here are the best deals that you CAN'T MISS!!

Colgate bonus toothpaste $.97 ea
-.75/1 Colgate 4 +oz (doubled)= +$.03 each!!
I got 12 of them, earning $.36 overage to put toward other items!

McCormick Gravy $.50
-.50/1 McCormick gravy (January All you mag) doubled= +$.50 overage!!!

Also, if you can find them in stock, you can earn $.12 per Mott's Single serve applesauce you have a coupon for! But good luck finding them in stock on Double Tuesdays!!

I grabbed several other things, including Atkins bars that are still on rollback. I did even better than I had hoped and saved about 80% in Walmart!

$.50 Cereal & FREE Milk!!

Starting tomorrow at Rite Aid, we have a wonderful deal that is almost too good to believe!
I still need to check it out and see which exact cereals are included. Let me know if you get there before I do and share the specifics please!
So here it is:
Buy 2 Post Cereals @ $2.50 each. Earn $+UP Rewards.
-$1/1 Post Shredded Wheat
-$1/1 Post Grape Nuts
-$1/1 Honey Bunches of Oats Greek
-FREE Milk wyb 4 Post Cereals

There is a limit of (2) rewards per wellness card and Rite Aid usually lets you do multiples in one transaction, so you should be able to get 4 boxes of cereal and (1) Gallon of Milk and pay just $6.00. With the $4 +UP Rewards, that is like paying just $2.00 for the whole thing!!!
Not only that, if you transfer a prescription to Rite Aid, you'll earn $25 to spend in store. So it's all FREE!!

If you get a chance to get over there and check this out, PLEASE share with the rest of us! I won't make it over till Tuesday.

Postage Increase

Just a friendly reminder: Get your "Forever" stamps now! The price will increase on 1/27.

$.99 Cereal

If you haven't jumped on the Macey's Quaker Cereal deal yet, now is the time! Buy 10 boxes of Cap'n Crunch, use your All You magazine coupons and your online coupons (http://amoe.prizelogic.com/Login/505f850b-12e4-437c-a8b1-3a0cb525c925)
and your cereal will be just $.99 per box. The sale states you only need to buy 5 to get their sale price ($1.49). If you buy 10 though, you'll have an even number and be able to use your -$1/2 coupons.
All other Quake Boxed Cereal is $1.79 wyb 5. Use your Quaker coupons with those and you'll pay $1.29 per box (Buy 10). A good price, but I made a vow to never pay more than $.99 for a box of cereal and have to stick to it!
Ps. If you want to get their Oatmeal, the sale price is $2.39 wyb 5. With coupons, you'll pay $1.89 (wyb 10).

Walmart & Other Deals!!

I hit the Payson Walmart this morning for some double couponing excitement! I highly recommend a cashier named Lori. She was great to work with!
Some deals that I found that you might enjoy:

Finish 20 ct Gel Packs $3.97
-2.15/1 Finish= $1.82!!!
The LOWEST price I've been able to find anywhere!!

Colgate 2.6 oz + Bonus .97
-.75/1 any Colgate (doubled)= FREE
It is in a dump bin in the cosmetics/health and beauty area. With the bonus ounces, it meets the requirements of the minimum 4 oz for the coupon. You might have to point that out to a picky cashier.

Bounty Regular Single Paper Towels $.97
-.25/1 any Bounty (doubled)= .47

Suave Advanced Therapy Body Lotion 3 fl oz  $.97
-.50/2 any 2 Suave products (doubled)= .47 each
This coupon is found in your January All You magazine

Jolly Time 4 Mini Packs $.50 (on clearance. I only found one but I only had one coupon, so I was happy)
-.50/1 Jolly Time (doubled)= +$.50!!!!!

Frigo 12 ct Cheese Sticks $3.48
-.55/1 Frigo (doubled)= $2.48

-.50/1 Land o Frost (doubled)= 2.98

Atkins 5 ct. Peanut Butter Cups $4.97
-$1/1 any Atkins 5 pk= 3.97
At most stores, this item averages $8.00 regular price. This is a great savings!! They have also rolled back their other bars to compete with Macey's. They are mostly all $4.97. The shakes are still more expensive than Macey's current sale. 

Walgreen's
I hit Walgreen's today also. I transferred a prescription there (one I needed to pick up anyway) and earned a $25 gift card. Here's what I did with it:
