Drugstore Deals week of 8/29

If you're one of the lucky folks who got a $4 off Natural Instincts coupon in your 8/02 P&G Saver insert, this is a great week for you! Both CVS and Rite Aid are offering specials which turn out to be moneymakers with use of this coupon (see links to each store's sections on Southern Savers below). Alas, us here in Raleigh did not get this valuable coupon and will be missing out- no moneymaking hair dye for me. I was thinking of trying to make a quick trade for it then realized this would be impossible as the coupons expire on Monday. *Big frown*

Oh well, there are still other moneymakers to be had...

The highlights:

CVS

$3-$4 moneymaker with the purchase of Glade Scented Reed Diffuser 1.6 ounce or Soy Candle 4.9-10 ounce (limit 1 per card). I'll be using the $3 off coupon found in August's All You as I don't have the larger $4 coupon that was found in 5/31 SmartSource Insert. Item rings up at $6.99 and you'll get $6.99 back in ECBs.

$5 moneymaker with the purchase of the Bayer Contour Monitor (limit 2 per card). You can get these for free with the use of insert coupons for $20-$30 that are out there as these are on sale for $14.99 this week so you'll spend nothing but tax and get $5 back in ECBs.

As always, you can increase your savings/moneymaking potential by using an autofill coupon ($4/20) or a CRT for $5/$25 if you have these handy.

Rite Aid

Stim-U-Dent Mint Flavor 100 ct will be free after $1.49 SCR. I'm not even sure what these are but if they're gum or mints, I'll be picking one up.

Get a $10 Rite Aid gift card when you buy $30 in P&G Products (the Clairol Natural Instincts would qualify and when you use the $4 coupon and the $5/$25 Rite Aid printable that's out there, you'll be making $$ on this deal!).

Since I don't have the $4 Clairol coupon, I'm going to take advantage of this deal by buying Cover Girl products. Jenny lays out a great scenario involving foundation and face products. Click here for all the details and other Rite Aid deals this week.

Walgreens

There are lots of freebies to be had at Walgreens this week thanks to Register Rewards program. Freebies include Rembrandt toothpaste, Reach products, Carefree pantiliners, men's razors and toothbrushes- since we're pretty well stocked on dental hygiene products etc., I'm probably not going to take advantage of any of these. Rather, I'll just stock up on cheap newspapers while I'm there. I think I'm still harboring major resentment against Walgreens over their failure to keep Huggies wipes in stock this past week.

You can find all the details on deals here if you're up for shopping at Walgreens.

Happy shopping all!
