3-3-10

I visited Target today and they WILL price
match items out of the Big Lots sales flier!!
Woo Hoo.

Bad news, while they will match the price
of $2.50 for the All detergent I could not
find the 50 ounce size to match the sale and
the manufacture coupon to make them possibly
.50 cents each.
This was the Target at Easton so maybe
other Targets might carry this size.

WALGREENS DEAL



Tylenol Simply Sleep possibly free!

Register HERE
The next page will look like a calendar. Click on the
Simply Sleep picture on the calendar to be able
to print coupons. Be sure to hit your back
button to print a second.

Tylenol Simply Sleep (24 ct) is on sale for $2.99
Use the $2/1 printable coupon.
Use the $1.50/1 Walgreens coupon from the March coupon booklet
Final cost FREE + $0.51 in overage to go towards other items!

Find a Easter pencil (.39 cents) in the isle with
all the Easter merchandise to use as a filler item.

**Make sure to hand over the manufacturer coupon first to avoid beepage!

This should bring your total to about .03 cents.
I'm just guessing on tax from the previous
Tylenol PM I purchased this week.
But you will need a filler item to make this
deal work. If you don't use a filler it
will bring your total into the negative and
they won't allow it.

You can only do one transaction at a time
when you use duplicate coupons out of the
March issue of their coupon booklet.
You can find those booklets
right inside the front door as you walk
in usually next to the sales fliers.

Here's another survey site I signed up for:

TOLUNA

from Hip 2 Save:

I am enjoying Toluna and its varied survey offerings. Last week I received an invitation for an online focus group that paid $25! I find most of their surveys are for points but they do sneak ones for sweepstakes entries only in every once in awhile, up to you which ones you do! You can expect to receive 1-5 survey invitations per day from Toluna. You earn points which convert to cash via check or Paypal.

Meijer printable coupons


__________________________________________________

I have $1.25 left over out of my $5.00 grocery challenge.
Can you believe I still want to go to Meijers
and Walgreens again tomorrow to possibly
pick up another 9 items with my $1.25 ???!!!
Maybe even a couple more items.
I saw a few refrigerated items marked down the
other day and found coupons on them.
So have to see if those are still available.
It's not like they are out in the open
and you have to really look to find the
refrigerated mark downs as they blend in
with other things.

I am hoping this all works out for tomorrow
as I have my fingers crossed.
Getting tired of shopping this week that's
for sure but am trying to prove a point
at how much I can buy with that $5.00.
Let's hope I can get that last $1.25 spent
so I can have one day of rest before the
weekend!!

Friday I will post the end results of my challenge
and everything I got for $5.00.
I can tell you this, as of right now I have bought
61 items!!
