I am excited. I have a LOT of shopping to do on the way home.
I am going to start at Walgreens. I still have two of the coupons for the free Tylenol Precise. This deal is still available. Print a $5 off coupon. The Walgreens booklet has a $3 off coupon. They retail at Walgreens for $7.99. You will have to catch this one while it is in stock. This is one of the reasons that I still have two coupons!!
I am also going to try and do the Mr. Clean deal that I wrote about earlier. I am one Mr. Clean coupon short of being able to do this deal twice. If someone would like to kick one my way, I would be willing to pass along a free 2 pack of the Magic Erasers for your trouble!!!
Then, I am heading to Shop N Save. It is Save $10 off of $50 today. Last week I did four trips. I don't have the time and the deals do not seem to be as good this time. Rather than list item by item, I will just post my shopping list.
A couple of "tricks" for Shop "N Save. Try to get your bill as close to $50 pre-tax as possible. If you go over, it decreases the 20% savings that the store is passing along. Also, purchase an Entertainment booklet. I had never heard of them until reading on one of the "Extreme Couponers" blog from STL about them. http://www.couponphenomenon.com/2011/05/mailbox-surprises.html The bargains in the book are good until November 2011. Since the book is 6 months old it is marked down to $15. In the book there are 6, $5 off $50 coupons that CAN be used on $10 off $50 Thursdays. So the book will literally pay for itself and no shipping!!!
The way they describe it, is to show up on a Thursday and use your $5 off coupon to buy a SNS $50 gift card, pay $45. Then purchase $50 worth of groceries, save your $10 daily sales and pay with your giftcard that you saved $5 on. Your grocery bill will have dropped from $50 to $35 before you have ever broke out the coupons.
Try and match your coupons to the items already on sale. I use Coupons STL for most of the matchups, but do check up on a few myself. I usually can save about 50% on paper with the sale prices. On my receipt which also shows savings from "sale" items in the store, it is usually closer to 60%.

I also plan to finish up by going by Target. I have to return an apron that I bought online and I have a $5 Gift Card. They are supposed to have a good deal on Old Spice Body wash for a friend, Nivea body lotion, Aquafresh, and their Easter clearance is now at 90%. I will put pics up later, but wanted to share my list in case anyone else was going to hit SNS.
Thanks.
