Sunday Ads: Free Kotex, Free ThermaCare, Free Jig-a-Loo Lubricant. Not That You Need That Combination of Stuff.

Target is having a TV clearance, with a 47" Philips LCD HDTV for $799.98 (from $979.99 and a 19" one at $179.98. Also Thomas' English Muffins in assorted varieties for $1.89. Storage bins and shelving are on sale, which I'm psyched about because Money Saving Mom's big clutter clean-up and garage sale has inspired me to really get going on some decluttering of my own.

Kmart has an offer through its new rewards card program: Buy 5 items on the page, get $5 Rewards. Seems like you can spend these rewards like cash when you scan your card at the register. If you are like me and shop at a store that accepts the $10/$20 coupon (no longer available), here is a deal idea for getting paper towels at 30 cents each:

1. Buy 5 two-roll packs of Bounty extra-soft paper towels @ $3.99 each.

2. Add a 5-cent or more filler if necessary.

3. Use the $10/$20 coupon to bring your total down to $10.

4. Use two $1/2 from the 3/7 P&G insert to bring your out-of-pocket cost to $8.

5. Get your $5 Rewards, making your final cost $3 for 10 rolls paper towels, ro 30 cents each. 

Kmart's ad also has a $10 gift card coupon for a new or transferred prescription, save this to use at CVS if your location takes competitor Rx coupons. And, if you have a scrip for foilic acid (i.e. if you're pregnant), you can get a free one-month supply of supplements through 5/1. And the ad has a coupon for $30 off a $100 housewares purchase.

 

Menards: free Jig-A-Loo lubricant after $2,50 mail-in rebate, RedDevil Lifetime caulk 44 cents 2 mail-in rebate. Sadly, I failed to mail in for the last TWO rebate items I bought, so these are off limits for me these days.

Jewel-Osco: Although the Wednesday flyer had store coupons in it this week, there are manufacturer's coupons in today's flyer, including a could-be useful $1/1 Angel Soft toilet paper. (Like at Walgreen's this week you could use it to get a 12-pack double rolls for $4.49.) The coupons expire April 30.

Walgreens has free lady-business products after RR and coupon (Kotex U, which is tampons or pads in festively colored wrappers, for the young woman who is excited about menstruation and wants the world to know it, I guess.) Coupons: three $1/1 4/18 SmartSource (today's), April All You, $1/1 printable coupon. And still giving out Schick Hydro razors free after coupon and RR, with the coupon being the $3/1 disposable from the 3/21 SmartSource. OK, this razor doesn't look disposable to me, but everyone says it works so let your conscience be your umbrella. For all the Wag's deals, including a vitamin D moneymaker, see Mashup Mom

CVS has, I cannot believe my eyes, a moneymaking ExtraBucks offer for milk. Buy a gallon of Dean's 2% at $2.49, get $3 ECBs back. Limit 2. I wonder if that might be a mistake. Green Bag Tags are free after 99 cents ECBs. ThermaCare warps 1 ct. free after $2.49 ECBs. Bumble Bee tuna for 49 cents. For the full CVS deals, see Mommy Snacks.

Jo-Ann has a couopn for 50% off any one regular-priced item. Also, they want you to know that "You can SAVE on Papercrafting!" I find the preceding sentence amusing, do you?

Sports Authority: $25 cash card when you spend $100 or more.

Office Depot is offering discounts for trade-ins: $75 on a laptop (XP or newer, must boot up, see flyer for other restrictions), $50 on a printer, $30 on a camera, or $25 on a shredder. (Dang! We just threw away our broken shredder.) No restrictions on the condition of the stuff besides laptops.

Office Max is offering a $25 iTunes gift card when you buy $100 in HP ink, and $30 MaxPerks Bonus Rewards back on a $39.99 purchase of 10 reams of copy paper.

Today's coupon flyers are one SmartSource and one RedPlum. SS has the Kotex U Qs, $1/1 Lea and Perrins worscestershire, bogo Hershey's dark, 75 cents off Reynolds Wrap, $1/1 Pieces candy. RedPlum has $1/1 copuons for a Dole "100% natural fruit beverage" called Sensation natural, and 50 cents off Lawry's marinade. There's also a sheet of Steak N Shake coupons and a page of Burger King.

Carson Pirie Scott has a coupon for 20% off sale price apparel or fine jewelry or lesser discounts on some other stuff, through Wed April 21 in stoer. Or use coupon code SPA10SLDAYS online.

The "Extra Bucks" of $3 with milk is only if you also get 2 Kellogg's cereal and/or bars. So, although the milk is a payback, the entire deal is not.

The CVS cereal/milk ad confused me, too. I think Noah is right...you have to buy two boxes of cereal/bars plus the milk to get $3.
