by Savings Lifestyle: Andrea on June 01, 2010

Welcome to this new weekly feature I’m excited to begin!! Hooray for the Weekly Top (5).

I want to know what deals YOU think are sweet each and every week! Each Monday I will publish the Weekly Top (5) post.I would love to have you stop by and share the best deals you see for the week.

The idea is really about helping others find the deals and allowing ourselves to be excited about the deals! Please leave a comment and stop by during the week to see what everyone’s fave picks are! I may even do a recap on Thursday and highlight a few comments and recap the Weekly Top 5 themes for the week. I’ll put a link to this post in the sidebar so you can quickly read through the comments.

What do ya think? I hope this is fun and really helps others find the deals as well. I can’t wait to see what you share each week!!

    Ok, I will bite. We didn’t need much this week. I thought the avocados @ Aldi for .59 were good, and they had some marked down corn on the cob for .99. Meijer had .25 Chex mix with the new printable coupons that are out, and marked down whole Tyson chickens for .78/lb. I am also going to stock up on Sweet Baby Ray’s for .50 after coupon @ Kroger this week.

      Chris, I was going to mention Aldi’s produce prices this week. They are great!! I missed the Sweet Baby Ray’s at Kroger. I’ll have to include that one this week!

    I thought the FREE Ecotrin aspirin was HOT. Also Target has the Eggo Waffles on TPC (temporary price cut) for $1.75-there is/was a printable Target coupon floating around.

    I love this idea! Sometimes there are so many deals it’s hard to keep track of which ones are the best.

      Karen, it is challenging especially like this week when it seems that new deals have been found at Target and Walgreens!! I hope this helps and you share your best too!

    I noticed at Walgreens that they had the New Action Pacs detergent on sale for 2.99 and there was a coupon for $2/1 in the paper a few weeks ago. I was excited to try this new product for .99. I think it has 10 packs so that will make it $.10 for a load of laundry!

    My (5) Faves this week are:

    Walgreens: Money-Maker on Ecotrin!! I’ve heard that there are also $2 coupons inside the boxes too so if you get it, check to see!!

    Also, the Neutrogena Money-Maker!! It almost makes me wanna go to Walgreens just to get that!

    http://savingslifestyle.com/2010/05/walgreens-neutrogena-monthly-deal/

    Meijer: Free Aunt Millie’s Buns. It’s hot dog eatin’ season and we need buns!!

    Rite Aid: $3.99 after SCR Huggies Diapers are an awesome price!! I need to get our Andon potty trained soon but he has no interest whatsoever. Until then, momma likes cheap diapers!

    Target: There are several things this week!! But, the Eggo’s at $.75 each are a great price.

    Free creamer at Meijer! We are big fans of coffee and I love French Vanilla! Coffee-Mate liquid $0.99 – Use $0.50/1 insert coupon from 5/2 SS (doubled to $1.00) = FREE! We are also loving the Aunt Millie’s buns for free! I just need to find more of those coupons :-)

      Amber, YES!! Love the free creamer too!! I was wondering about more Aunt Millie’s coupons. Most people know those are good ones and snatch ‘em up right away!

    Target had another $3 coupon for the Scrubbing Bubbles Power Sprayer, stacked with the Right At Home $5 coupon (I had gotten 2 and had 2 coupons each). My Target had them for about $8.69, which made them $.69/each. Of course everyone knows about the Eggo Waffle coupon. Target also had Sobe Life water on sale to 10/$10, along with a $.50 off/1 coupon. Add in the B1G1 coupon on Sobe’s site (I had 10/$.50 off 1, and 5 B1G1 coupons). Which made them FREE…AND to sweeten the deal Target was giving you a $5 gift card wyb 10 of them! Cha-ching. Made $5 on the deal. I also had previous coupons ($3/3 & $1 off on Pure Fitness) for Crystal Light, which was on sale for $1.97 (Bought 4 in total). GE Revel Light bulbs on sale for $2. There was a coupon floating around for $1/2 (MFR) and $1.50/1 (Target, and I had 2), which made them FREE! SO for everything (including 2 boxes of Eggos) about $8 (tax included) out of pocket, and gained a $5 gift card! I could have used the gift card towards the rest of my stuff in a second transaction and paid $3, but I decided not to and hold onto it instead. Great Target trip!

      Tonia, awesome!!! That Scrubbing Bubbles deal is a good one. I’m gonna post that one!

    Yep, I scored a $2.00 coupon on the Ecotrin! Thanks for the tip..who knows when I would have seen it!

    For me, the best deals of the week have been at Walgreens:

    1. Neutrogena money-maker –great since it’s a product I love, too.
    2. Free after rebate Cortaid, just in time for mosquito season.
    3. Free aquafresh kids toothpaste (from stacking a store coupon with an internet coupon) –especially handy since I have plenty of grown up toothpaste but not much kids toothpaste. And the kids are the ones who are likely to dump half a tube on their brushes, LOL!
    4. Free U by Kotex pads that not only print the register reward but also a coupon for a FREE box of always pads. And it’s not like either of those will go to waste.
    5. ??? I’m not sure! There are a lot of freebies this week but most are for products I don’t need or already have in my stockpile.

    I scored the free water from Target. Also, picked up the Shout for .42. I used $1.00 coupon stacked with a .55 peelie. I also purchased the Olay products, 64oz of Tide, 105 load of Downy, Fiber One products, and the Smart Ones. I used coupons for all my purchases, and scored $35.00 in gift cards this week. Target gets top billing with me this week!!!

    Not sure if this has happened for anyone else. But this was my favorite thing at Meijer this week! (I went today, saturday) I bought a carton of the Smart Balance Milk (Blue one – omega 3 and Vitamin E) and used the 1.50 coupon from the paper and the 1.00 from Mealbox, so it was .49. Well as soon as I rang up the carton out of the catalina pops a coupon for a FREE half gallon of Smart Balance Milk!! Then after I paid, I also got a coupon for $2/2 Smart Balance Milks. I have to go back tonight to use my FREE coupon and see if I get another one to print out!
