What's a bargain?

Now, I know I should have been doing these blogs a little more but I haven't. It's my fault but I'm trying to do better. Even though the week is almost over, here is what I think are some bargains for both CVS and Walgreens.

Walgreens

Dorito's  or Lay's Potato Chips-9.5 to 11.5 oz.-$1.99
Dasani 24 pk. water-$2.99
Kraft Mac. & Cheese-12 or 14 oz.-$1.99
Celebrity Canned Ham-12 oz.-$2.29
Nice Aluminum Foil or Wax Paper- 0.89
Lipton Tea-22 or 100 pk.-26.5 oz.-$2.99
Oscar Mayer Wieners-16 oz.-Buy 1 at $2.99 get 1 free
Colgate Toothpaste-4.6 oz.-0.99
Kellogg's Cereal-8.7 to 13.7 oz.-$1.67


CVS

Scott Toilet Tissue-12-18 pk.-$7.77-limit 3
Bumble Bee Chunk Light Tuna-5 oz.-0.77
Theater Candy (except Mars)-0.99
Gatorade-32 oz.-$1.00
Ajax-14 oz.-0.89
Cheez It, Keebler Club, Nabisco Cookies etc.-3.8-7 oz.-0.99
Kleenex-Reg. 100ct., w) lotion 70ct. or upright 60ct.-0.99
Pepsi-2 liter or Kickstart 16 oz.-0.99 w) 0.25 off coupon


Now with both places you need to have your CVS ExtraCare Card and your Walgreens Card.
I was able to save some money at CVS because of a couple of things.

1) When you scan your card at the coupon center, you get 0.25 off of a 2 liter bottle of Pepsi/Sierra Mist/Mt. Dew or Kickstart 16 oz.

2) When I scanned my ExtraCare Cards I got $1.00 and $2.50 extrabucks which was good for me because I could use one of the extrabucks instead of actual cash.

3)In your Sunday paper, there was a big 20% off coupon from CVS. You could use that as well, which I did  but its not for sale items. That could be a pain because there are a lot of sale items but if you find something you like not on sale, you could use your 20% off coupon.

Now I used all three things at one visit so I saved a couple of bucks. Its not a lot but every little bit helps.
