Walgreens and Target Deals

I need to apologize for not posting for quite some time. Summer flies by when your having fun.

Walgreens has been running a 15% off coupon on Friday's. Check their web site for this great coupon. You must check out at the photo counter or cosmetics counter for this to work. Also, you get 20% off of Walgreens brand items. Remember you can have 1 Walgreens coupon and 1 MFG coupon per item.

I was at Walgreens the other night and they are giving $10 in Register Rewards for $20 in Dr. Scholls purchases in a past Sunday's paper there were $5 off coupons for 2 product purchases. Which would be around $5 for 2 gel inserts. Essentially it is like paying $2.50 a pair!

Walgreens (Better Deals)

This morning I went to Walgreens with my $5 off $25 coupon and $1.00 Dove Coupon and $1.00 Dr. Pepper Coupon in hand.
If you want the best and most frugal way to earn the RR for dove do the following
Buy -6 body mist they are $2.99 go to the perfume counter and ask for 6 $1.50 coupon from Walgreens.They are just sitting on the counter at the Mall Avenue Walgreens so you don't even have to ask! This will make them $1.49 each which you wil spend $8.94 on all 6 and get $10 in RR so essentially they are FREE! They make great gift items. OK, so you have $8.94-$1.00 Sunday paper coupon =$7.94 already and need to spend $25. I suggest purchasing the 4-12 packs for $14- coupon (I found this inside one of the boxes) $13 so your up to $20.94. I would check the Register Rewards (RR's) for other items they are listed below the items in Red, be careful and read the fine print they try to trick you with fine print. The Oreo cookies have a RR and I think are $2.50 each-I'm not sure how many you would need to purchase for the RR but if you bought 2 for $5, then you would have spent $25-$5 coupon =$20 and have over $10 in RR! So it is like spending $10 for all the items listed above.

Also, If you want to purchase 6 dove soap items that would work too. I think it specifies the 2 pack or larger. The 2 packs are on sale for $2.24. It would be great if it worked on the single $.99 bar because you could spend $6 and get $10 in RR!

If you would rather spend money on last chance deals, I noticed several new orange stickers around the store.

Hurry and sign up for Walgreens Coupons

Wednesday and Thursday Walgreens is giving $5 off your purchase of $25!
Here is my plan of action
Buy 4- 12 packs $14- $1.00 coupon =$13

Receive $10 in RR for future purchase
Total so far $23 + Dove deode or body spray Walgreens coupon $1.50 my coupon from Sunday paper $1.00 total? I need to spend $2 on something I will let you know what I decide to buy! After all is said and done total $15 spent and $10 RR so $5 for all items listed above!
Also Walgreens have new printable coupons online!http://print.coupons.com/couponweb/Offers.aspx?pid=13473&zid=cs27&nid=10&_requestid=313794&bid=alk060920063405525504714512

Does anyone know when they have the vender sales from Wal-Mart. I think it was about this time last year so look in the paper for bargains. The venders live in the Parkplace edition off Mission in Fayetteille and usually advertise as vender sale. Last year I picked up new items for a few bucks.

Yard Sale Ideas

I have been thinking about having a yard sale to clear out room in my closet. I have weighed the pro's and con's of doing this. The benefits of donation outweigh the pro's of actually having a yard sale. If you opt to have a yard sale keep the following things in mind.
1.) Most people are paid on the 1st or 15th of the month or every two weeks.
2.) Packaged deals catch someones eye. Package items neatly to make a deal of several items.
3.) Use bright colored signs like hot pink with black writing.
4.) When someone asks how much? Notice the closeness of the item to the person. If it is close they really already want to purchase it so start with a higher price and lower to make the person think they have a real deal.
5.) Offer a few items for men. This draws both men and women.
6.) Plan ahead and use the color dot system of pricing. If your like me you do not have hours and hours to plan for a yard sale. Place colored dots with prices listed on a large piece of poster board. Then you just have to put a dot on the items or have a price for each table. A $1 table, $3 table and so on.
7.) Plan ahead and advertise in the newspaper.
8.) Place your signs at major intersections in town directing yard sale junkies to your home.
9.) The going time for yardsales is no longer 7am opt for 8am instead.
10.) Put out a box of freebies to lure people to your sale.

Donating items
If you opt to donate items to a charity a tax incentive is in store for you. New tax laws state the items need to be in good condition. I advise people to take a few pictures just to be on the safe side.
