Last weeks P&G insert has a coupon for $4 off 2 Gillette body washes. They are on sale @ Target for $1.99 each! Each coupon will give you 2 FREE body washes. These are for men but hey pick them up and give them to the local church food pantry or battered woman's shelter! I know it sounds weird, giving a mens body wash to a woman's shelter but they have sons that don't want to smell 'girly'!
Now on to a few hints....ALWAYS buy your weekend paper.
I go in the store, grab one and stand to the side looking at the coupons in it. Are there any 'good' ones? I find that the P&G (Procter & Gamble) inserts always have lots of goodies in it that I would buy anyway. Red Plum inserts have had lots of Nivea Lip coupons in them the past couple of months too. Even it they are 'crappy' coupons I buy 2 papers but if they are 'good' coupons or there is all 3 inserts in one weekend paper I buy at least 6, more if I really like the coupons.
ALWAYS make sure that the paper you are buying has them in it. People will snag the coupons and leave the papers...don't be one of them! For the $2 the paper costs here, I always get my money's worth and then some!
Don't forget to check the internet printable coupon sites every couple of days too. They have some good ones on there at times. Go to the websites of products you use a lot of them have coupons to print there as well.
Keep organized and plan your shopping trips to Rite Aid or anywhere!
OK now that I am done preaching...It is NASTY here today. Snow, rain, ice....it doesn't know what it wants to do. Everyone be safe out there today!
GO HERE and create a "me file" and start getting paid every week for your viewing!

~~~~~~~~~~
The Covergirl coupons that came out 2/7 are still good in March! Use one of those with the BOGO CG sale and get 2 free makeup! It doesn't qualify for the P&G SCR, but it's free makeup!
~~~~~~~~~~
Here's what qualifies for the SCR:
Purchase $30 worth of Select P&G Health Care Brands and receive a $10 RA GC
Includes Prilosec, Metamucil, Align, NyQuil, Dayquil, VApoSyrup, Alwyas, Tampax, Gillette Razor Cartridges, Gillette Shave Gel, Pampers, Oral-B, Clean 'n Go, Swipers, Crest, Scope, Fixodent and Glide

Scenarios for P&G SCR:
Transaction #1:
Align Probiotic
$28.99
- $5/$25 or $5/$20 RAQ
- $5 MFQ (exp 3/31/10), from P & G 2/7/10 (Or use the $3/1 MFQ from the 3/7 insert if you don't have the $5 one)
- $10.00 SCR
= $8.99 and $28.99 towards the P&G SCR
You can pretty much do whatever you want in your next transaction to get you the additional $1.01 to get the $10 gift card. However, the following transaction will make it a MM:
Transaction #2:
$9.99- Metamucil
$10.01- Any Covergirl face product that retails for $10.01 or more
$0.00- 2nd Covergirl, from the BOGO sale
= $20.00+ (depending on the price of your CG)
Coupons:
- $5/$20 RAQ
- $3.00 Metamucil Q (new one from the 3/7 insert or one from the 2/7 P&G insert)
- $10.01+ (or whatever the price of your Covergirl product is, from the BOGO MFQ from the 2/7 P&G insert)
= $2.00 (plus tax)
SCR:
$5.00 Metamucil
So it ends up being a $3.00 MM for transaction #2. Combine that with transaction #1, and you get the $10 gift card. So you'll have a $2.01 MM (minus sales tax). :)
~~~~~~~~~
Other P&G Scenarios:
$9.99- Pampers diapers
$10.01- Covergirl face product, retail price of $10.01 or more
$0.00- free CG product with BOGO sale
= $20.00+
Coupons:
- $5/$20 RAQ
- $10.01 CG MFQ (from the 2/7 insert, value is whatever the price of your CG makeup is)
- $1.50 Pampers MFQ (Pampers Cruisers Diapers $2 (3/31/10) P & G 2/21/10, Pampers Diapers or Pants $1.50 (3/31/10) P & G 2/7/10,
Pampers Easy Ups Trainers $1.50 (3/31/10) P & G 2/7/10,
Pampers Extra Protection Diapers $1.50 (3/31/10) P & G 2/7/10)
= $3.50 (plus tax)
Repeat this 3 times, with an OOP of $10.50 (plus tax). Not sure if $29.97 will qualify for the SCR or not. If so, its $0.50 plus tax OOP (after the SCR) for 3 packs of diapers and 6 makeups.
If $29.97 doesn't qualify, add in another transaction like the Metamucil/CG above to get over $30. The Vicks or Crest toothpaste/OralB manual toothbrushes can be good fillers for other transactions of stuff you need and will bump you over the $30 mark too.
~~~~~~~~~~
Lots of RA brand BOGOs. Use your Game of Life RA product Qs on these (especially for items that are hard to find deals on).
2 J&J products = ~ $4.80 (at most)
use 2 coupons for $1 off any J&J baby product AND 2 $2 off skin care Q = $1.50 to use towards something else!!!
10 J&J products = $24
coupons
$5/$20 purchase
$10 10-$1 off any J&J products
$20 10-$2 wellness skin care q's
=
$11 in OVERAGE!!!!! to buy something you need!!!!
