Drugstore Deals for May 9-15

My hubby just surprised me with a dozen white roses. So so pretty. I love Mother's Day. Hope all you moms are enjoying this day. Not really a day off for me but at least we have cake (lemon, and I didn't have to frost it!)

We only got one Smart Source insert this week, and our region did not get the $5 off 1 Shcick Hydro Razor. Which is too bad because Target released a $1/1 coupon perfect for the Target $5 GC deal. Plus, my Wal-Mart didn't have FREE inserts at Customer Service and I wasn't about to buy a paper that was missing the only coupon I needed. Oh, well. It just forces me to take a break from coupon clipping this Mother's Day.

There are lots of items on price cuts every week besides the Target GC deals and weekly match-ups. I try to visit Totally Target a couple times a week because that gal is just super! with the Target deals.

If you have the Schick $5 Q, please do this deal for me:
FREE $5 Gift Card wyb 2 Schick Hydro 5 Blade Razor $7.99
Buy 2 use these Qs:
-two $5/1 from 5-9 SS
-two $1/1 Target Store Coupon PRINT
Pay $3.98 out of pocket, get $5 gift card
= $1.02 overage after Gift Card!

Other deals to note:
1 lb Strawberries, $1.49
Lean Ground Beef, $1.99/lb
Keebler Wheatables Nut Crisps or Crackers, $1.99(Use $1.50 PRINT = only $0.49!)Walgreens has a few freebies. Nice as they are, I might skip them. I'm terrible at cashing in my Register Rewards. Thanks for the match-ups, I Heart Wags!

Buy EOS Ultra Moisturizing Shave Cream for $2.99
Get $2.99 RRs back

Buy Schick Hydro for $7.99, Get $5 RR
Use $5 Q from 5/9 SS
Pay $2.99, get $5 RR
=$2 money maker!
Plus, the RR is reportedly rolling!


The two above would make for easy $5 Wags Challenge. Plus you'd need a small filler item for the second transaction because you need the same or less number of manuf coupons for the number of items you have.

First buy EOS Shave Cream for $2.99 & get $2.99 RR

Second transaction: Buy Schick Hydro, $7.99
For filler item, buy $0.39 candy
Use $2.99 RR from #1 & $5 Q from 5/9 SS
Pay $0.39! Get $5 RR

Total: Paid $3.38 out of pocket, got $5 RR left!


If you are planning to shop CVS this week, take note of the few money makers. For some reason, though, our ad prices are more expensive on some items like Right Guard. But it's still comes out FREE with a small kickback so we just take what we can! Thanks to I Heart CVS for coupon match-ups!
Here's my shopping list:
Buy U by Kotex for $4.99, Get $4.99 ECBs, Limit 1
