Kroger deals
December 31, 2008 by
I’ve been so wrapped up in CVS and Walgreens deals and I’ve been living off my stockpile for awhile, so I haven’t really been follownig the grocery store deals as much. Kroger has an instant $5 off when you spend $25 on P&G items promotion going on through 1/10/09.
There are a number of loadable P&G E-saver coupons that will work well with this promotion. Unfortunately, you will have to act quickly because they expire tomorrow.
Here are a few things you need to know about this deal:
*You can use paper manufacturer’s coupons in addition to the P&G E-saver coupons.
*You can get up to 2 $5 rewards per transaction.
*The ad does not specify this, but the tags in the store do: The $5 reward is not applied to your P&G items. You need to buy $5 (or $10 if you earn two rewards) in additional merchandise which the $5 will be applied to.
*Check your receipt carefully. Some people are reporting that there is a glitch when you use the E-saver coupons and the $5 is not coming off automatically.
*If you spend $50 on items (pre-coupon, of course), send in your receipt for a P&G coupon book with $120 worth of coupons. Details are here.
Here is my scenario:
Buy 2 Olay Ribbons Body wash – $3.99/each
2 $1/1 coupon from 12-28 P&G insert
BOGO free loadable E-saver coupon
Buy 3 Pantene (2 shampoo, 1 styler) – 3/$10
$3/2 coupon from 12-28 P&G insert
Buy one shampoo or conditioner, get one styler free loadable E-saver coupon
Buy 1 value pack Pampers wipes – $6.59
Use .50/1 coupon from 12-28 P&G insert (this will double)
Use .25/1 loadable E-saver coupon
Buy 1 Downy – $5.99
Use $1 Downy coupon from 12-14 P&G insert
Use .25/1 loadable E-saver coupon
Buy 1 Iams Healthy Naturals dog food – $19.99
Use $3/1 coupon from 12-14 P&G insert
Use $3/1 loadable E-saver coupon
Buy 3 Daisy sour cream – 2/$4
Use 3 .35/1 coupons (from a tear pad) – there are also printable .50/1 coupons on their website and there were .50/1 coupons in a recent insert
Buy 1 Blue Bell ice cream – $3.99
Use $1 printable from Bluebell.com
Buy 1 Cottonelle Toilet paper – $1.19
Use .50/1 manufacturer’s coupon from 12-14 SS

Total before coupons = $61.73
Total after coupons = $37.01
Minus instant $10 off = $27.01

The Unspoken Rules of Coupon Etiquette
Step by Step: The Walgreens Dimetapp/Robitussin RR deal
December 30, 2008 by
Yesterday I posted about the awesome overlap in RR deals on Robitussin/Dimetapp at Walgreens.
Here’s the scoop:
The Robitussin/Dimetapp is on sale for $4/each this week (I believe the regular price is $6.49-$6.99)
1. Print five of the $2 off coupons (the links are posted here).
2. Visit your local Walgreens. If you can get your hands on five bottles, you will spend $10 out of pocket after coupons, but you will get $20 in RR (if you buy them before 12/31). After 12/31, you will get $15 in RR.
Based on posts on HCW, the following UPCs are confirmed to be working for this deal: (these are for 4 oz bottles)
Children’s Dimetapp Cold & Cough (3-0031-2234-13-2 = UPC)
Dimetapp Cold and Allergy Elixir (UPC=0031 2235 12)
Children’s Dimetapp Cold and Allergy (UPC=300312235-139)
Adult Robitussin Cough & Chest Congestion, Sugar-Free DM3-0031-8686-13-3 = UPC
Adult Robitussin Cough, Sugar Free DM (UPC =3 0031 8686 12 6)
Adult Robitussin Cough & Cold CF (UPC = 3-0031-8616-14-7)
Adult Robitussin Cough & Chest Congestion DM (UPC = 3-0031-8685-15-0)
Adult Robitussin Cough & Chest Congestion DM Max
Adult Robitussin Cough Syrup CF (UPC=3-0031 8616 14)
Adult Robitussin Night time Cough Cold and Flu (UPC = 0031 8642)
Does not appear to be working:
Adult Robitussin Night Time Cold and Cough 4 oz
3. This week, there is a deal where you earn $10 in RR when you spend $20 on Robitussin/Dimetapp. This deal overlaps with two other catalina deals: (This information came from Common Sense with Money)
*Get $5 RR when you buy three Wyeth products (ends 12/31)
*Get $5 RR when you buy $10 in Wyeth products (ends 1/31)
*Get $10 RR when you spend $20 (ends 1/31)
If you buy the Robitussin/Dimetapp before 12/31, you will get $20 in RR. If you buy them after 12/31, you will get $15 in RR.
A few additional notes:
**If you try to use RR from a previous Dimetapp/Robitussin deal to pay for your out of pocket on the next round, your RR will not print.
**RR are treated as manufacturer’s coupons and you can only use one manufacturer’s coupon per item. If you are using a Wyeth coupon for each cough syrup and additional RR (from deals other than the Dimetapp/Robitussin deal), you will need to add “filler” items so that you can use your RR.
**The Wyeth coupons state “one per purchase” not “one per transaction” which means that you should be able to use one coupon for each item you are buying.
**Using coupons should not prevent your RR from printing although plenty of store managers and cashiers will try to tell you this. Before making your purchase, it helps to make sure that the green light on the catalina machine is on. If there is a red light or a flashing light, there may be a problem with the catalina machine.
**If your RR does not print, here’s what you need to do:
A1: The store will give you a form to fill out and mail in to catalina
A2: 1-888-8coupon, option 3
A3: use the online form: Contact Catalina Marketing
(I haven’t had much luck using the online form and have had the best luck just calling them)
**If your store is out of the Dimetapp/Robitussin, get a rain check for the $4 price. Since the overlap deal runs through the end of January, you can buy them when they are back in stock and you should still be able to get the $15 in RR.
