Shelly's Shopping List for Week of 2/10

Since several people have asked I thought I'd type out my shopping list for this week. Feel free to skip reading this post if it doesn't interest you! :)

Unfortunately, this week is pretty slim pickings at CVS. If you are new to the CVS thing don't judge the whole deal based on this weeks ad. Some bloggers in the know are prediciting that next week will be better. Supposedly there will be a deal... buy $30 worth of Huggies stuff get $15 back. So get your Huggies and Pull Ups coupons ready. There are some printable Huggies coupons and Pull Ups coupons available right now online. If I have time I'll post the links to those in another post or next week if I do another list.

Walgreens has some good deals this week. If you didn't already know this Walgreens also has a rebate program where you can get things free or more than free. Most of the time you have to actually fill out a form though, you don't get it back instantly like at CVS. Wisconsin (and AZ!) is one of the few lucky states that can file the rebate form online. Actually, Walgreens does have a few items that you can get instant rebates (Register Rewards) that are just like the Extra Care Bucks but they aren't as common as the ECBs at CVS. Walgreens has a weekly ad and a monthly Easy Saver booklet. When shopping at Walgreens you can use a store coupon WITH a manufacturers coupon to maximize your savings. I have also been told that you can use a monthly Easy Saver booklet coupon WITH a weekly ad coupon although I have not tried that myself yet (will try this week though!).

I'm planning another post about coupons but for now set up a spam email account that you can use to sign in to get all these printable coupons. My new spam-mail is mrs.frugal@sbcglobal.net. Cute, huh?

Okay, that's it for now. All these embedded links are going to be the death of me. Let me know if you find any errors or can't get the link to work. FYI, if you are on a Mac these coupon printers do not work with Firefox. I have to use Safari to print. If you found this helpful, please leave a comment or I'm never going to do it again! :)
