School Supply Roundup 2009 (Update #2)
As I mentioned before, I'm on a quest to see how much of my son's school supplies I can get for FREE with all of the great deals going on. This is a list of his current school supplies and where/when I think I can get them for free or, if not free, then super cheap. ;) I should note that I'm getting a late start and have missed several great sales in which some of these things were already free. :(
As of August 6th, we have 4 different school supply lists for my son's first year of Kindergarten. One came in the school packet at Kindergarten Roundup, the second one is the list of items included in the package you can buy at Kindergarten Roundup (also came in the school packet), the third is from the school's website, the fourth list I received at Registration 8/6. I just combined them and noted any differences.
Kindergarten School Supply List:
----------------------------------
2 facial tissue (large box)
- Previous Kroger sale w/coupon = FREE
2 12x18 Manila paper (50 count) (school list says 1 pk)
- 7/19 - 7/25 Target 50pk $1.67 (I *think* the seasonal price is $1.99)
12x18 Asst. construction paper (50 count)
- 7/26 - 8/1 Walgreens: 96 ct $.99
- 7/19-7/25 Target .88 - my Target was sold out of these and I didn't have time for a rain check :(

- OR 7/19-7/25 Office Depot $0.05 (limit 5)

- 7/19-7/25 (and 8-2 - 8/8) Walgreens: 9 cents each. (Wags substituted these for the 2 pocket folders so I got 3 total at 9 cents each.)
2 Spiral wide-ruled notebook (website says 1)

- 7/26 - 7/28 CVS: $.99 w/.99 ECBs = FREE
1 box “ziploc” type bags — quart or gallon size

I updated this post with seasonal pricing on some items and any items that I purchased are in red.
Total spent so far: $6.64
Estimated final total: $8.43
NOTE: If CVS is sold out of their ECB deals when you get there, you can always ask for a rain check which will give you the sale price including ECBs! Walgreens (to my knowledge) does not give the Register Rewards with rain checks.

Another CVS Moneymaker for 8/2
I just got back from CVS and discovered an incredible moneymaker deal. My CVS had the CVS Readyfill coupon booklets laying out on the counter at the pharmacy so I grabbed a couple. There's a coupon for $4 off $20 purchase and $3 off $12 eyecare coupon.
Here's the scenario:
Buy (3) Visine-A @ $3.99 each, get $5 ECB wyb $10 (ad scan on iheartcvs.com says 4.50 but my ad says 3.99)
Buy (1) Blink @ 7.99, get $7.99 ECB
Buy 1 CVS/Caliber Poly Portfolio @ $0.49, get $0.49 ECB
Total is now $20.45
(Hand clerk $4 off $20 CVS coupon now - BEFORE any other coupons!!)
- $4.00 off $20 CVS coupon (link on iheartcvs.com) OR (use the $4 off $20 from the Readyfill booklet) -- I used the printable one since it expires 8/2 and the other is good till Sept.
- (3) $3/1 Visine coupons (SS 6/14/09)
- (1) $3/1 Blink coupon (RP 8/2/09)
- $3.00 off $12 eye care purchase CVS coupon (from Readyfill booklet)
Pay $1.45, get back $7.99 ECB, $5 ECB, $0.49 ECB
= $12.03 PROFIT after coupons and ECBs!
Woo Hoo!! I love CVS!
I did several transactions on this visit, here's some additional tips...
You can also get a "select writing utensil" for a penny with any stationary purchase (according to the store manager, that's anything on that wall - ie. the Poly Folder) - the store manager let me have a large Sharpie Marker as my penny item.
I also used the $4 off $20 coupon with the Electrasol deal, which makes it a $4 moneymaker!! (see CVS 8/2 deals post for additional info)
Also look at the bottom of your receipt and you'll find a freebie (only the first time you scan your CVS card in August). I have 2 cards, with one I got a free chapstick and the other gave me a free CVS aspirin. YAY!
