Post Correction - Cereal as low as $0.50 each at Walgreen's Starts 7/31

I wanted to give an update on my earlier post about the FREE cereal at Walgreens.  I mistakenly thought that the cereal was on sale 5/$10.  I went this morning and it was on sale for 4/$10.  Although it is not FREE it is still a very low price at only $0.50 a box after coupons and Register Rewards.

Pillsbury Brownies only $0.20 at Kroger this week.

Kroger has Pillsbury cake mixes and brownies on sale this week for 10 for $10.  The selection of cake mixes were O.K. but the brownies were slim picken's.  There were only Family Size Milk Chocolate brownies included in the sale (that I saw).

As we were loading the buggy we saw our neighbors who live accross the street.  I would like to give them a shout out as she said she was going home and reading this blog.  When they saw us loading up the basket with 10 brownie mixes I think they considered calling Weight Watchers on us. 

A family of 3 certainly does not need all that brownie mix so let me clue you in on the plans for this find.  My wife is the children's ministry director at church and they are having a lock in to celebrate the end of summer.  This will certainly hit the spot about midnight with a cold glass of milk.  The leftover boxes will be donated to the church's kitchen I suppose.

Here is the scene:

Buy 10 - Pillsbury Boxed Brownie Mix, select varieties - $1.00
-Use 10 - .40/1 Pillsbury Frosting or Brownie Mix Coupon (6/12 RP)
 Final Price =  $0.20 each after double coupons - $2.00 for 10

I used 1 of the $2 catalina's I got from the Crest Toothpaste deal yesterday....so in reality...they were FREE!

Lumene money maker at CVS until 8/6

There is a great unadvertised deal at CVS right now that can earn you $5.00 in Extra Credit Bucks (ECB's).   I tried it out today and it worked just fine.  The main problem will be finding enough in stock at one store.  This deal is good until 8/6/11 per the sale sticker on the shelf.

The Deal - Get $5.00 ECB wyb $20.00 worth of  Lumene products

 Lumene is pretty expensive an there are many products that normally sell for $20.00.  However, there is a day cream that comes in 0.5 oz small jars that are on sale at my CVS for just $3.99.

Here's the scene:

Buy 5 - Lumene Day Cream, .5 oz (Pure Radiance or Firming) - $3.99 
- Use 5 - $4/1 Any Lumene product, excludes trial size (SS 6/19)
- Get $5.00 ECB for your $20.00 purchase
FINAL PRICE  = FREE + $5.00 moneymaker

Kroger paid me $7.50 for $152.89 worth of groceries!

Today's trip to Kroger was a lot of fun for my daughter and I.  I woke up fist thing this morning and scoped out the new ad for 7/24 thru 8/2 and found a few freebies I wanted to go get.  Although it is a moneymaker anyway you do it, here is what my scene looked like:

After all was said and done, I paid $7.50 out of pocket for this transaction and walked away with $15.00 in catalina coupons for my next shopping trip.  I could have divided up the transactions and paid less out of pocket but I did not have a plan together before I went.

This was obviously the week for toothpaste.  Looks like WestAid will get some goodies for the pantry!
