Alice in Wonderland DVD Coupons - Combine with Deal at Giant This Week!

You might have noticed the Alice in Wonderland DVD offer in the original post of this week's Giant Deals. Well, thanks to Frugal Coupon Mom, I just found out about some coupons and rebate forms for the Alice in Wonderland DVD. (Thanks, Ashley!)

DVD deal: Save $6 instantly on any Disney Movie when you buy Alice in Wonderland (priced at $17.99). Use your Giant card; 1 deal per transaction

Maximum possible savings: Buy the Alice in Wonderland DVD and your Disney DVD. Save $6 instantly, use the $10 printable coupon listed by Ashley - basically getting you the Alice in Wonderland DVD for $1.99! (Or if you prefer to think of it another way, $16 off the cost of both DVDs.)

If anybody tries this, post a comment to let us know how it went!

CVS: Glade candles deal and SC Johnson Rebate

A. posted quite a few good reasons to stop by CVS this week already, but when I hit the store yesterday I thought of another.

If you haven't yet submitted for your $5 SC Johnson rebate(you can submit THREE!), all you have to do is buy 3 products from any of their brands, including anything by Glade. CVS will give you $4 ECB's when you buy $12 in Glade products, so print this $3 Glade Sense & Spray coupon for a starter kit as many times as you can before going. We burn a lot of candles in our house!

Free Lotion: Olay body lotion rebate

Slickdeals posted a great rebate available through Procter & Gamble. Can't beat free body lotion, especially during this cold and dry time of year!

Buy any size except trial size of Olay Quench body lotion and send this rebate form in for reimbursement. Up to two rebates per household through February 12, 2010.

Rebates are always a bit of extra administrative work, but to me it's worth it in certain instances. This one is definitely worth it - around $20 of lotion for free?!

Before you buy the lotion go through your coupons - you might be able to save a few additional bucks by using one!

Way to work it, girl!

5 Reasons to Visit Giant This Week, 08/07-08/13

We had out-of-town relatives in for dinner tonight (my brother's wedding is this weekend!), so I will post the best deals that I spot tonight (Wed.), and may add more in the coming day or two.

Break out the smoothies:

1. Strawberries, $1.66 for a 1 lb. package.

2. Blueberries, $1.66/pint.

3. Super G Boneless Chicken Breast, $1.79/lb. (Save $2/lb.) This is rock-bottom, so stock up if you need it!

4. Kellogg's Cereals OR Kellogg's 8-pack Pop-Tarts, 2/$4. Combo these with the recent 08/02 Kellogg's Back to School Insert AND the Kellogg's Fuel for School Rebate (thanks, Common Sense with Money!) program to get mega savings!

Cereals include Corn Flakes, Rice Krispies, Frosted Mini-Wheats Little Bites, Honey Nut or Chocolate.
There was a coupon in the 08/02 Kellogg's Back to School insert for $1/2 Frosted Mini Wheats Little Bites. Final price: $1.50/box. If you buy 10 of these in one transaction, you could submit them for the Kellogg's Fuel for School rebate, and get $10 back by mail. Final price: $0.50/box.

Pop-Tarts: all varieties.
$1/2 coupons ($1 off any 2 or $1 off 2 of the Blueberry Muffin and Chocolate Banana Split) in the 08/02 Kellogg's Back-to-School insert. Note: on Tuesday I also spotted these Kellogg's Back-to-School coupons by a Kellogg's display at the front of my Giant as well, in standard pamphlet size! Final Price: $1.50 each. But, buy 10 in one transaction for the Kellogg's Fuel For School rebate, and get $10 back by rebate via mail. Final final price: $0.50/box! Or, print out a bunch of these $0.55/1 Blueberry Muffin flavor Pop-Tarts coupons. They should double automatically, and if you printed as much as 10, your final price is $0.90 a box, or $0.10/box profit after the Fuel for School rebate!

5. Mott's Apple Sauce is 2/$4. Use the $0.50/1 coupon from http://www.smartsource.com/ (doubles automatically) to get 6-packs for $1!

Some Shopper's Food Warehouse Ideas This Week (includes Kellogg's Fuel for School Rebate Matchups), 07/23-07/29

Shopper's Food Warehouse has a couple of deals going on this week - worth a look.

Here we go:

$10 Catalina deal - Save $10 off your next purchase when you buy $20 of qualifying Dr. Pepper or Kellogg's snack products. http://www.driveoffwithsavings.com/

The ideal outcome is you buying $20 worth of items, plus associated coupons. How low can we go?

$2.99 Keebler Town House Crackers - none found
$3 Cheez-Its - none found
$2.99 Keebler Fudge Shoppe Cookies - $1/2 printable available at http://www.coupons.com/
$2.99 Keebler Chips Deluxe Cookies - none found
$2.59 Kellogg's Rice Krispies Treats 8 Packs
$4.50 Dr. Pepper 12-packs - Looks like there may have been a $1/1 Cherry Dr. Pepper Coupon in the April All You magazine (?)

So, the best that you can do with printable/insert coupons is to print 3 copies of the $1/2 Keebler coupon (2 computers needed). Buy 7 Keebler cookies, spend $17.93, get $10 Catalina. Net $7.93 for 8 packages of cookies, or ~$1.13 each. If you buy 10 in one transaction (5 coupons/3 computers required), you can pay $14.90 after Catalina, and if they are above 10 oz., send in for the Kellogg's Fuel for School Rebate to get $10 back. 10 for $4.90 net means $0.49/package of cookies!

Alternative deal: Buy 10 packages of Rice Krispies Treats ($25.90 total). Get back $10 Catalina. Send in for Fuel for School rebate - get another $10 back. Net $5.90 for 10, or $0.59/box. Nice!

First, let's look at the Fuel for School possibility here.

Eggo Waffles x 10 = $33.90
$3 saved = $30.90
$10 rebate = $20.90
Down to $2.09/bo.

You can mix and match to your heart's content. The general principles are:

1. Buy the best-discounted-after coupons items, and
2. Stay as close to $10 total as possible without going under.

Sample deals:

Daisy - Buy 8 at $11.12. Use 8 $0.60 coupons (double automatically) to get $9.60 off, and $3 off. If you're buying something else, you could possibly get up to $1.48 overage!

Daisy/Powerade - Buy 7 Daisy Sour Creams and one Powerade, totalling $10.52. Use 7 $0.60 coupons to get $8.40 off, plus another $3 instant savings. Up to $0.88 overage potential.

Kozy Shack/Daisy - Buy 3 Kozy Shack puddings and a Daisy Sour Cream, totalling $10.39. Use 3 $1 Kozy Shack coupons plus 1 Daisy coupon. After coupons and instant savings, $3.19 paid. If you have all three $0.55 Kozy Shack coupons, they will double automatically to $1.10, making this deal $2.89 paid.

Tony's/Daisy - Buy 3 Tony's and a Daisy Sour Cream, totalling $10.39. Use 3 $0.50 Tony's coupons (double automatically) plus 1 Daisy coupon. After coupons and instant savings, $3.19 paid.

Whole Fruit Bars - Buy 3, $10.50 total. Use 3 $0.50 coupons (double automatically) and the $3 savings to get the transaction down to $4.50 for 3 packages of popsicles.

Breyers Yo-Crunch - Buy 3 Breyers and a Daisy Sour Cream, totalling $10.39. Use 3 of the $0.75/1 coupons (double automatically) and the Daisy coupon, to get it down to $4.69. Instant savings brings it down to $1.69 for 12 yoghurts and some sour cream. Wheee!

Ocean Spray/Smart Balance - Buy 2 @$2.79, and 2 Smart Balance Buttery Spreads @$2.50. Use two doubled $0.55/1 Ocean Spray coupons and one printable Smart Balance coupon. After $3 instant savings, you'd pay $3.28 for two jugs of juice and two tubs of spread.

Kraft Fuel For School Deals and Moneymaker

We got a great comment from reader Lisa. She said:

"Have you read about the Kellogg's Fuel for School [link inserted by us] rebate? Kellogg's has posted the rebate form online this year. If you purchase ten Kellogg's items in one transaction -- other items are also included -- you can get $10 back. So after coupons and rebate, ten boxes of Kellogg's cereal free.

Target also has a great deal right now you can conbine with this rebate. You get a $5 Target gift card for buying 5 Keebler cookies. You can print coupons online for Keebler fudge shop cookies, $1 off. There is also a $0.55 off Keebler cookies coupon. The cookies at my store are $2.54 each, so, $24.50 for ten. Less coupons - my coupons totaled $9.10 (8 @ $1, 2 @ $0.55, I used four computers), pay $15.40. Get back $10 in Target gift cards. Send in for Kellogg's rebate for $10 back. You end up getting back more than you paid, including the Target gift cards.

You have to purchase all ten items in one transaction, and you have to send in the upc codes from all the packages. "

Lisa, thank you so much for keeping us all abreast of this potential moneymaker. :) On a very related note, Money Saving Mom posted a list today of Target/Kellogg's Fuel for School scenarios that you might find helpful while researching this. Feel free to post a comment with your experiences and victories using this deal!

Common Sense with Money has a great post on rebates Staples is offering through May 9, 2009.

I went to Staples this morning to pick up my 2 near-free reams of HP multipurpose paper. We use a lot of paper printing internet coupons, so it was worth the short trip to get this deal! For just over $1 a ream, we'll have enough paper for a few months now.

Click here for more info on the Staples rebates. Thanks, Coupon Cravings! If your location carries the Casio labelmaker listed, you'll get it free. You also might be able to get some free Ghirardelli chocolate.
