• Final Cost $13.18, Got a $5.00 Target Gift Card and will submit for the $15.00 Olay Rebate, so this trip was a moneymaker Yay!!!

There wasn’t a whole lot at Walgreens that excited me too much this week. They were out of the Finest Natural Resveratrol (Free this week with Walgreens coupon), so I picked up a Raincheck.

• 4 Glade Sense & Spray Kits $5.99 ea, Used 4 $4.00/1 Qs & $2.00/1 Walgreens Q (took off $2.00 4x)

• Dutch Farm Large Eggs Dozen $.79 (Still the cheapest Eggs in town, thanks Walgreens!)

• Geisha Canned Mushrooms $.50

• Renpure Organics 1 Shampoo & 1 Conditioner $6.99 for both (Note: These are BOGO and at my store they had “Try Me Free” Cards on them, so 2 FREE bottles after Rebate, sweet!)

• Used $8.00 in previous RRs

• Final Cost $.26 and will get back $6.99 for the Renpure Rebate

My favorite thing about Aldi is their great prices on produce and this week was no exception!

• 2 Onions 3 lb. Bags $.69 ea

• Carrots 2 lbs. $.59

• Cabbage about 2 lbs. $.79

• Pork Rinds $1.19

• Mayonnaise 32 oz. $1.99 (I checked around, this was still the best deal on mayo this week even with the coupons I had for other brands)

• Final Cost $6.23

• Used $8.00 in Previous Register Rewards

• Final Cost $.83 and Got back $6.00 in Register Rewards

Note: For those trying the Purex Deal (BOGO @ $5.99 this month at Walgreens, Use the BOGO Mfg. Q that expires 3/6 to Get 2 Free Purex). This deal did not work for me, it rang up $3.99 and $2.00, Not $5.99 and $0.00 which would make both free. This is a pretty iffy deal, totally YMMV on this one-I know some locations it HAS rung up at $5.99 and $0.00 and it has worked successfully for some, but some cashiers may refuse to take a BOGO Coupon on a BOGO deal.

Dillons is having their Cart Buster sale this week, so they had a quite a few good deals. Here’s what I picked up on my trip:

• 6 Green Giant Steamers $1.28 ea, Used 5 $.50/1 Qs & 1 $.40/1 Q (doubled)

• 6 Betty Crocker Potato Pouches $.79 ea, Used 6 $.40/1 Qs (doubled), and 1 $.40/1 E-Coupon

• Dillons Milk Half Gallon 1/2%, Marked Down to $1.27

I was hoping to find more Joint Juice in stock at Walgreens, but both stores I went to were totally sold out (again). When I went the first store, I was very surprised to discover that they had a bunch of the Excedrin I was looking for in stock (the other store didn’t have any). So, I did 4 separate transactions and here was the end result:

• 1 Excedrin Menstrual Complete Express Gel 20 ct. $2.50, Used $2.00/1 Q and Got back $2.00 RR (x4, did each transaction separately to get the Register Reward for each one)

Well, as usual, my Target was completely wiped out of most of the things I was looking for, but I still found a few great deals.

• 2 Kraft Parmesan 8 oz. $3.25 (Apparently, this was supposed to be $3.60, but they still had last week’s price up, so they honored that price. I didn’t even realize it was last week’s price until it came up $3.60 at the register.) Used 2 $1.00/1 Qs & $1.00/2 Target Q
