Mashup Mom

I was on SmartSource.com this morning trying to decide about more Land O’ Lakes butter, and noticed a few new ones:

• $1.00/1 Clean & Clear product.
• $3.00/1 Clean & Clear morning burst surge.
• $2.50/3 Huggies baby wipes.
• $4.00/2 Huggies little snugglers or little movers.
• $1.00/1 Gold n Plump chicken is back. I saw on the front page of the Trib that 38 oz boneless skinless chicken breast is $6.99 at Target, so $5.99 with coupon. That’s $2.52/lb, but this chicken doesn’t have the salt water solution fillers that a lot of the store brands that go on sale for $1.99/lb do.

If you’re planning to buy Triaminic fever reducer between Aug. 2-8 (or even if you weren’t!),  you can download a rebate form starting Monday 8/2. This will only be good for purchases made between 8/2-8/8. Print a $1.00/1 coupon here to make this a slight money maker.

(Thanks, Frugal Coupon Living!)

If you all signed up for the Jewel email list for the produce/bread deals a couple weeks ago, you should by now have received this week’s coupon: $.50/1 Vitaminwater. They’re on sale for $.88 this week, and there’s $1.00/2 Vitaminwater Zero in the August AY that you can use with the store coupon. Since these store coupon are generally one per transaction: $.88 + $.88 = $1.76 – $1.00 mfr – $.50 store = $.26/2.

But first, you might want to read this.

Update: Heads up from Jacque on Facebook that this coupon isn’t scanning, so have fun with that.

OK, sometimes I post a deal just because I have a friend who can use it and know she reads the blog. So without further ado, here’s… Funky Monkey on AMAZON.

2. As with all of these, don’t purchase from this page — click on the individual item’s picture to go to its description.
3. Use “subscribe & save” on the right to save 15%.
4. Use code FUNK4BTS for another 10% off.
5. This makes the $12.80 ones — 12 0.42 oz bags — $9.60 shipped! Or, you can get 12 one oz bags for $16.47.
6. As always, you can cancel subscribe & save at any time under my account | manage subscriptions if you don’t want these to keep coming.

Check it out: Four inserts this week. One Smart Source, two Red Plums, and a P&G!

See the full list of what’s supposed to be included over at Sunday Coupon Preview or at Coupons, Deals and More. As always, use these as a general guide, knowing that coupons and values can vary regionally. In Chicagoland, the Chicago Tribune generally has the most coupons in it — even if the Sun Times or the DuPage Herald have the same inserts, they’re often thinner. (On rare occasions, the Sun-Times will contain a coupon not found in the Trib, but it’s rare enough that it’s worth remarking on.)

What looks good to me?

• Band-Aid Bandages, Neosporin Original Ointment, Purell Instant Hand Sanitizer (8oz+), Cortaid, or Johnson & Johnson Red Cross Products $3/3 expires 11/30/10. Band-aids sometimes go on sale for a dollar, and the Red Cross travel packs are $1.00 if not excluded.
• Bic Stationery Products $1/2 expires 9/30/10. Lots of school supply deals to use this with.
• Edge Shave Gel (no trial) 75¢ or $1 expires 10/18/10, Skintimate (no trial) 75¢ or $1 expires 9/18/10. Lots of shaving cream/shave gel ECB and RR deals.
• Hormel Natural Choice Deli Sandwich Meat 55¢ expires 8/21/10. This stuff is pretty good, is nitrate free, and goes BOGO at Jewel regularly.
• Hunts Diced, Whole or Crushed Tomatoes $1/3 expires 9/12/10, Hunt’s Snack Pack Pudding 30¢/2 or $1/4 expires 9/12/10, Hunts Tomatoes Cans (11 oz+) $1/4 expires 9/12/10. Maybe we’ll have ANOTHER ConAgra deal!
• Mission Tortillas $1 expires 9/13/10 . These go on sale for $.99 at both Dominick’s and Jewel on occasion.
• Mt. Olive Pickles, Peppers, or Relish $1 expires 10/9/10. Usually don’t see higher than $.75.
• Purchase one (1) Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Gel, Receive one (1) Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Cleaning Product Free (value to $5.70) expires 9/12/10. The toilet gel is crap (wait, pun not intended), but we’ve seen a lot of Catalina/gift card deals on Scrubbing Bubbles. If they keep up, this may eventually result in a money maker.
• All Liquid Detergent (28 load+) $1 expires 9/19/10. All goes on sale a lot, and maybe we’ll see another Unilever Catalina someday.
• Dove Hair Care (no trial) $1 expires 8/29/10. The last one of these made for a money maker with Register Rewards.
• Skippy Peanut Butter (15oz+) 75¢/2 or $1/2 expires 8/29/10. Mostly because I need PB soon.
• Wishbone or Wishbone Western Dressings $1.25/2 or $1.50/2 expires 8/29/10. These go on sale for $.99 at Dominick’s pretty often, and look for hangtags every month or two for free salad or free meat wyb 2.
• Nestle Juicy Juice $1/2 expires 10/31/10. Use with the $1.00/1 Target printables.
• Crest Toothpaste (4oz+) $1 expires 8/31/10. Should make it free at some point.
• Gillette Deodorant or Body Wash $2 expires 8/31/10. If they keep up with the RR and ECB deals, this will be useful.
• Gillette Fusion ProGlide Manual or Power Razor $4 expires 8/31/10. Probably more free razors this month…
• Oral B Stages Zooth or Crest Kids Manual or Power Toothbrush $1 expires 8/31/10. Usually good on a RR deal at some point.
• Tide Stain Release Large Size $3 expires 8/31/10. These are on clearance at Jewel and sometimes free after PG eSAVER + super coupon at Dominick’s.

So, what looks good to you — what did I miss?

So how many?

Phew. I haven’t seen a week this good in a while! I’m probably getting 6-8, just for the sheer quantity of coupons. How about you?

Getting your paper(s)

Here again is the post with a bunch of ideas on getting cheap newspapers, although the Menard’s “15% off everything you can fit into a reusable bag” sale is long, long over. Reminder: The Dollar Tree, Deals, and Menard’s in Illinois (and apparently, from your comments, some but not all stores in Kenosha/NW Indiana) carry the Sunday Chicago Tribune for $1.00, and you can pick up the early Sunday edition by mid-morning Saturday.

Try code x618 on the Tribune site for a Wed, Fri, Sun subscription at $1.00/week, x626 for Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sun at $1.00/week, or code 0b7z for $.50/week Sunday only. You can also try code 59 for a $25 Target gift card, or 135 or 136 for a free $15 Target gift card with subscription. You can’t enter 2 codes online, so will have to call 1-800-TRIBUNE if you are using both. If they tell you you can’t use two codes at once, call back and try for a different operator.
