Here are some of the deals (and heads up!) YOU found recently — Thanks! How do you share your own deal?

Big favor: If you mention other sites, online coupons, etc, please include the link. Disclaimer: All of the deals below come straight from readers.

Aldi

  • Matt points out another good produce deal:  “The 4 lbs. of oranges for $1.50 would make the bag heavier.”

CVS

  • Kari O. wondered:  “Is the spend $15, get $5 ECB limit 1? I did it today for Dr Pepper, but now wish I could do it for Oreo’s too!” The ad says limit one, but…
  • Yvette offers hope:  “Wild for CVS is reporting that it may actually be limit 2. I haven’t done the deal yet, but check your receipt and you’ll find out.”
  • Laurie shares:  “I got a $3 off any Almay from the magic machine!  I used that with the $5/2 Q on two Almay makeup removers @ 5.99 each!  Free after ECB & Q’s.”
  • Yvette says:  “For the Irish Spring soap ECb deal, check the machine for a Happy St. patrick’s day coupon. $3 off of two. Adding this makes your net cost $0.50 each wyb 3.”
  • From Kari O:  “The Simple make-up remover in Antioch is $7.99 and the wipes were $6.49. The free wipes coupon scanned for $6.99 and I got a coupon in-store last week for $2 off facial care purchase of $5. Paid $5.49 and received the $5 ECB. :)
  • She also offers some information:  “Also, I asked if the makeup remover was considered a ‘cleanser’ and the cashier said yes. The foaming cleansers were also $7.99 but I needed make-up remover and the coupon did not beep.”
  • From LauraL:  “The 2 ounce Cetaphil did note generate the Extra Buck. The ad said ANY but it wasn’t worth the agrument. Also, from the coupon machine, I got a bunch of Hershey candy coupons ($2 on 2 and $3on 2) to use with the $5 on $15 deal.”

Kmart

  • Kristy says:  “Last week I posted about getting President Barbies at K-mart for $5.50 and there were other Barbie dolls for just a couple dollars more. There are coupons on coupons.com for $4/20 or $3/15. Wish I had seen these coupons before I bought the dolls! Mix and Match your clearance Barbies for Easter Baskets or hold onto them for birthdays and Christmas! I might go back to Kmart myself and pick up extras for Secret Santa or Toys for Tots.”

Meijer

  • Regarding stacking problems, Anne shares:  “I don’t normally run into that problem at Plainfield, but had it happen at Oswego and was tired of being treated like a criminal so I contacted corporate. I was told by corporate AND the cashier supervisor at Oswego that they do accept ONE mfr and ONE competitor coupon per item. If you have trouble at Plainfield, I would recommend sending a complaint via the website.”

Radio Shack

Reader requests

  • Melissa asks:  “Anyone else having problems with M-Perks being gone at Meijer? For instance..I will use Smart Ones frozen weight watchers as an example….In the ad Smart Ones are on sale…it tells you that there is an M-Perks associated with it and to clip it…but when you go there it tells you ‘No coupon matches your search’ I’ve been noticing this more and more…So, I called Corporate and this is what they told me…’They are only allowed a certain amount of clicks on coupon, before the coupon disappears’ I said it’s kind of misleading to advertise there is a M-Perks associated with it…but then you can’t get it. Where does it say they run out. Her reply…’it doesn’t say’”

Redbox

  • Outlander reports that code DVDNIGHT is still working:  “I just used this code today and got the movie “Flight” for free!”

Target

  • Kim sends over some clearance finds: “I found Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail polish strips on clearance $2.10 at my Target in Normal, IL. I used the $3.00 printable  that was available from Coupons.com. Coupon scanned with no beeps and I got 90 cents overage! I also found the magnetic Sally Hansen polish on clearance for $2.68 and used a $3.00 printable.” The coupon is no longer available.
  • Kristy shares:  “I feel like I’m constantly posting about cheap Barbies and makeup (Can you tell I have three nieces that love all things girly and Barbie?) Target.com has Barbie USA President on clearance for $8.39 (and I know they were on clearance at the Hodgkins Target). Target also has the Mermaid Barbies on clearance. I picked some up for $5.68.”

Walgreens

  • On the Paas deal, Kristen reports:  “Tried buying two egg dying kits today and didnt get points, I had to call and they they credited to my account. Kind of a pain that its not automatic”
  • And Jamie says:  “They are $1.99 at our wags. So, $1.50 for two after Q plus points. Mine posted no prob, though.”

    Another note about MPerks is that they offer all these coupons as though you can use them all. But they have a limit as to how many you can clip and then when you want to clip some more MPerks tells you to use the other ones first.

    This is a request/question/idea I suppose…. do you think we could get a group together to start a Bountiful Baskets? It’s a great co-op and I have friends in other states that participate, but there are none in IL yet….it is pretty cheap for a HUGE amount of product each week. The site is: http://www.bountifulbaskets.org . If we have a group that would particpate, we all just have to volunteer once in a while. Thought I’d put this out to my budget-savvy MashupMom followers and see what you all thought!

    Oh, and for an idea of what might come each week, you can see some spreads in other blogs that utilize it, like Blissful&Domestic.

    Stopped by the bloomingdale meijer and they had three tables of clearamced toys where you get an additional 25% off. The tables are in the back by the photo pickup and bedding department. The toys are mostly superhero especially spiderman, kreo transformers, and more. Didn’t get to look at prices but probably worth a look with Easter coming soon.

    Went to pick up my laptop from Best Buy and spotted a few clearance finds like musical earbuds(they had band names and in cute cassette tape cases, these were RUN DMC earbuds) priced $4.99 when they ran up 2.99 I grabbed the last two because my bf always looses his. I also found Harley Davidson iphone accessories that I grabbed for 3.99 -5.99 each perfect for next year stocking stuffers for my dad and at the checkout lines I grabbed 3packs of colored post its for .99 each and double sided tape .99 as well. Worth a look if theres a Best Buy near you. This was at the Joliet Best Buy

  7. Jamie R says:

    Kate, that sounds like a great idea. I would love it!

  8. Kari O. says:

    A few days ago I posted about Target discontinuing the 34 count Bounce and today the signage and space was officially gone at my McHenry Target. IF anyone still sees it available or in stock, please let me know! Thanks

  9. mandi says:

    in case anyone still needs glasses… i just ordered my husband free glasses from that coastal.com deal you mentioned a while ago. its still going strong.

  10. Kari O. says:

    PS: I love Bountiful Baskets! We use to have it in Utah and Oregon.

  11. LauraL says:

    Kristy, did you know Target has a 20% off STORE toy coupon on Barbies? It would be good to stack with the Barbie coupon. I didn’t read all your posts so I don’t know if you already knew this.

    If you didn’t bring your coupon, try going back and re-buying it. Some stores will let you and some won’t.

    • Kristy says:

      No, I did not see that! I did see some “I Can Be…” outfits for $5 each at the Hodgkins Target today. Astronaut and Marine Biologist were the only two I saw. I got one of those and a 3 pack of the Fashionista sets for $11.08, and after Red Card and Coupon, it was $12.42, or about $3.10 per Barbie outfit. I would have done better to get two Fashionista 3 packs for $22, minus the $4/20 coupon and pay with the Red Card for the 5% off, but the Astronaut suit was just too cute to pass up.

      And mostly BLUE! Where was the blue Barbie stuff when I was a kid?!

    Today’s Deal of the Day at CVS is two dollars off a ten dollar purchsae, valid 3/12 and 3/13 only. Print one now and pair with this week’s ads and ECB for a great deal!

  13. Sarah J says:

    CVs coke deal is NOT limit 1 :)

  14. cj says:

    Does anyone know about the Krispy Kreme donut offers that are floating around? Just wondering if the coupons are honored at gas stations that carry them or only at a Krispy Kreme store (if there is such thing.) I emailed the compnay about the V-Tine donut offer and never heard back from them. Thanks!

  15. Jennifer says:

    Planning to visit CVS this week and I was hoping I could buy 2 Suave Keratin Profesionals. I want to use the B1G1 Free Q from Sunday’s paper, and then in addition I have a Free Q from a FB giveaway. I should be able to use both, correct?

  16. Betzy says:

    Request

    thanks
