Free reusable shopping bag from Rachael Ray magazine

I am saving my receipt from my Target Ritz cracker deal to send in for a free reusable shopping bag from Rachael Ray magazine. You can get it free with purchase of certain Kraft foods. Details here.

$1 Kelloggs coupons for CVS deal next week


Run, run, run! There are $1 Kelloggs coupons on couponbug.com and coupons.com right now. CVS has an extra care buck deal on Kelloggs next week so you can get 3 boxes of cereal for $2 (after ECB) if you get 3 coupons. Cereals on sale include Special K, Smart Start, Mini Wheats, and Frosted Flakes.

Off Insect Repellent & Raid Bug Spray for 69 cents

I was picking up some of my haul at Walgreens yesterday when I saw several types of Off repellent and Raid spray on clearance for $1.69. While I thought that was a great price, I didn't buy any because I already have plenty. Something just kept nagging at me though and when I got home I realized that there are $1 off coupons for these products in the Easy Saver catalog (located in the store at the front with the ads)! There is also some manufacturers coupons for $1 off Raid so this would be a possible free or money maker item for those that have the coupons. Walgreens resets their products every so often and generally the clearances are pretty consistent from store to store. Be sure and check this out because Off is generally $4 on up!

Problems printing Internet coupons?

Try these suggestions from slickdeals if you are having problems with any of the coupon links. Each type of web browser creates different coupon links so if you are on a browser that is different from mine, you might have trouble printing from my links.

Problems printing Bricks coupons? This may fix your problem! So, everyone uses different browsers, from IE to FireFox to Safari.

Sometimes people paste Coupons.com/Bricks links that they recieved in FireFox, which do not work in Internet Explorer or vice versa. You get the "Please wait..." or "Please Install The Coupon Printer" even if you already did.

This trick will allow you to simply change 2 characters in the URL to make a FireFox link work in Internet Explorer and vice versa

Here's how easy it is, the following is a FireFox link:
hxxp://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=ri3peuo59687503&bt=wg&o=53740&ci=1&c=GM&p=TyQrvJAY

note the "wg" in the URL. This link gives the repeating Please Install The Coupon Printer in Internet Explorer.

To make that link an Internet Explorer link we simply change "wg" to "wi" OR "vi" (in this case, both variations work, other coupons it may be wi or vi, trial and error):
hxxp://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=ri3peuo59687503&bt=wi&o=53740&ci=1&c=GM&p=TyQrvJAY
or
hxxp://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=ri3peuo59687503&bt=vi&o=53740&ci=1&c=GM&p=TyQrvJAY

UPDATE: If you want to print Bricks coupons on a MAC with Safari, replace the "wg", "wi", or "vi" to "xs". You can also do the reverse, take a Safari link "xs" to IE "wi" or "vi" or to FireFox "wg".

You do the opposite if you want to print an Internet Explorer link in FireFox!

25 cent mac 'n cheese at WalMart

Edit: I was at my WalMart this morning and noticed that the boxed Velveeta dinners are back up to $1.50. I was able to print two more coupons last night from Jeremy's laptop and ended up using those on the individual Velveeta shells and cheese bowls that were 98 cents. The coupon worked flawlessly and clearly reads "any Velveeta shells and cheese product."

Velveeta shells are on sale for $1 at Walmart this week. Print this coupon here for $1.50 off of two. You can generally print online coupons twice so four boxes for $1!

Super Cheap Cheese & Crackers at Target!

Target just released some great store coupons on their website. You can combine these with your manufacturer coupons to maximize your savings! Print the target coupons here.

Some scenarios:
Buy 2 boxes of Triscuits at $2 and 2 blocks of Kraft cheese at $2.
Use the Target coupons for $1 off 2 Triscuits and $1 off 2 Kraft cheeses.
Then, use two of these manufacturer printables for $1 off of Kraft cheese and a box of Triscuits.
$4 for 2 Triscuits and 2 blocks of cheese.

Buy 4 boxes of Ritz mini peanut butter or cheese sandwich crackers on temporary price cut for $2 each.
Use four $1 Target coupons for Ritz Crackers.
Use two of these manufacturer printables for $1 off of two boxes.
$2 for 4 boxes of crackers!

If you've got newspaper coupons, the Kraft salad dressing Target coupon is a money maker when combined with the $1.50 manufacturer coupon from a few weeks back.

Free Chips & Salsa at Kroger this week!

This deal will only work if you have last weekend's coupons so start clipping and saving them! Kroger has Wholly Salsa buy one get one free this week and there was a buy one get one free coupon in last weekend's newspaper. A B1G1 sale combined with a B1G1 coupon results in free items at most retail stores. So you get two salsas for free or possibly more if you have more coupons! To make the deal sweeter, use the free chips (up to $3) coupon that ran alongside the B1G1 one. Buy the Tostitos that are on sale for 2/$4 this week and if your cashier is feeling generous (or lazy!) they might just give you a dollar in overage. There is also a $1 off when you buy both Tostitos chips and dip that you could use too if you don't mind spending a little out of pocket for the dip.

Other freebies or cheapies you can get at Kroger right now:
Angel Soft 4 pack toilet paper $1 - use 50 cent coupon
Mahatma rice $1.09 - use 50 cent coupon
