MONEYMAKER on Glade winter fragrances at Target starting 12/11!!!

*Might be regional!*

There's going to be a Target coupon in 12/11's paper good for a $5 GC when you purchase 5 participating SC Johnson items.

Pair that with the ongoing sale on Glade holiday candles and room spray for $2.50 each, and get a $5 wyb 5.

There are coupons available at coupons.com, print now before they disappear:

$.55/1 Glade Room Spray
$1.50/2 Glade Jar Candles
$1/2 Glade Scented Oil Candles

And proceed thus:

Buy 4 Glade Jar Candles and 1 Glade Room Spray $12.50 sale price.
Receive $5 GC (part of promo)
Use 2 $1.50/2 candles cpn, and 1 $.55/1 spray cpn
And use Target coupon for $5 GC wyb 5 participating SC Johnson products

Buy 4 Glade Scented Oil Candles and 1 Glade Room Spray $12.50 on sale.

Use 2 $1/2 oil candles cpn, and 1 $.55/1 spray cpn
And use Target coupon for $5 GC wyb 5 participating SC Johnson products
Pay $9.95, receive 2 $5 GC

You could split this into two transactions to use your GC from the first transaction to pay for the second. Then you only pay $8.95+tax OOP and walk away with $10 in GC. It's possible you'll have to do it this way anyhow depending on the fine print on that Target $5 GC coupon.

It was also recommended that you have other item(s) included in your purchase(s) to avoid angry beeping registers, just in case.  Thanks NotSoKrazy!

Toootally forgot about the diaper deal this week... Shame shame shame 'cause it's a good one!

http://www.harristeeter.com/promotions/e-vic/rewards_special.aspx

If you got the deal you were notified via e-mail... This deal is only valid for targeted members who were notified by e-mail.  If you guys are new to HT you really need to get a membership card and get started on the e-VIC wagon because it takes a while to get in the system, like 4+ weeks!!!  Anyway, once you're in the system you will start getting personalized weekly deals (most people get most of them), and will be able to load ZVRs to your card.  ZVRs are coupons you click to your card that come off automatically.  The only time you will have a MM (Money maker) at HT is if there is a ZVR involved, as the registers will round down paper coupons to cover the cost of the item.  ZVRs, though, take off the full price of the coupon no matter how much is left over.  For example, Fixodent denture cleanser (I know...) is still on sale for $3.19.  Now, would I ever normally buy this?  No.  Am I going to use it?  No!  But there is a $3 coupon for it in this month's P&G and a $3 ZVR you can click to your card making it a $2.81 money maker... That's gold in coupon land.

Anyway, here's the Pampers deal:

Select jumbo packs $5.99 - $3 (Swaddlers or Cruisers) New Parent magazine Sept. - $1 ZVR (there is one for Cruisers and one for Swaddlers, these will not work for Baby Dry) = $1.99 per jumbo pack
This assumed you got the Parent magazine for that month, which I didn't, and that you got two.  If you just have your inserts (like me), there's a $1/2 bags which would bring you to $4.49 per bag.  Not nearly as good, but these are usually over 10 bucks and I like to snag these up when HT is having this sale.  I generally don't pay more than $.13 per diaper.

Keep in mind that Express Lane is free until Tuesday!  This is great as it means you can do your shopping online at HarrisTeeter.com and they will have it ready for you to pick up!  It usually costs about $5 so this is a great deal!  Just know that you will have to pay online beforehand and any coupons you use will be given to you as a credit for your next purchase.

Harris Teeter 11/30-12/6 Weekly Deals!

Ok, it is a great week for couponing!!  Between CVS and HT, I have been killing it!!!  This post is to provide you with matchups so you can go to your Harris Teeter and make it happen.  And remember - if something isn't in stock, ask someone if they have it in the back.  If they don't, ASK FOR A RAINCHECK!!!  I have to keep reminding myself to do this and I haven't lately.  It's like I get through the checkout process and I just want to get out of the store, or I'm so focused while I'm shopping that I don't like to talk to many people, but rainchecks are awesome.  They never expire and they make sure that you don't miss deals just because the other couponers got there first! ;)

Here are the match-ups for this week:

Kristen Holan

http://www.pillsbury.com/coupons-promotions?esrc=15893
Print the $.85 Muir Glen for FREE tomato paste (reg. price) at any place that doubles - read HT!!!  

There are also $.75 Muir Glen qs on coupons.com that will also make them free, just remember - only 2 IPs per transaction!

OK... I know we'll never use it but the Fixodent cleanser is on sale $3.19 this week. Clip the $3 in this month's P&G + click on the $3 ZVR linked to your card and viola - $2.81 MM!!!!

Mariani banana chips, dried pineapple, and yogurt covered raisins are free this week with the $.75 in this week's SS (11/20). It's a DND5 so don't know if your store will double it (mine might not). If they don't, the banana chips are still only $.24.

OK, ok... I'm on a roll!! http://coupons2.smartsource.com/smartsource/index.jsp?Link=MPXKU7QWZQK36 <-- Go here and print the $.50/2 Dole canned fruit. Makes the canned mandarin oranges $.50 each this week. Also, the New York style Croutons $.50 makes them FREE!! There's a FREE up to $19.99 OneTouch Delica lancing device q that you might as well print since it's free at WM... Just trying to find someone to donate or give it to. 

Do you want more?? http://www.v8juice.com/Coupons.aspx Print 2 of the $1 off V-8 Fusion smoothies, click the $1/2 ZVR and get them for $.44 EACH

Okay, so if you got everything on this list, you would still have -$.98 to spend! You might as well pick up some batteries. Duracell AA 4 pk. $2.99 - $.75 (this month's P&G) - $.75 ZVR= $.74. It's up to you what you do with that extra quarter!

Muellers pasta is B2G3 this week and there's a $.75 in this weeks SS... Most stores will only let you use 2 qs but it works out to $.50 for 5 or $.10 a box  


This list is straight from a facebook conversation I had and will be edited, but until then just enjoy the fun and humor and get those deals!!!  It would really help me if I knew where you guys were coming from, any questions, etc.  No question is too ridiculous, we have ALL been there!!  I just want to know how I can help you guys.  Remember, doing it is half the battle and you learn so much through experience, too!  That being said, I can make the learning experience that much easier!  kristen.m.reinders@gmail.com
