Friday - Looking Back And Forward

Dealing on Fridays

If you like free samples or gifts, there are a couple of sites that give a summary every Friday of the best ones of that week. www.couponing101.com and www.southernsavers.com are always good to check.

Believe it or not the extreme couponers out there start preparing for next week now. There are numerous sites that already have the Kroger, CVS and Walgreen's ads for next week and have listed many of the good deals. If you are ready to take the jump into CVS shopping I will fill you in on what I am looking at for next week. The ECB's mentioned below are an important detail that I will discuss Monday.

1. This Sunday there will be a $4 Gillette Fusion coupon. Using this coupon and the ECB's offered will make the razor free.

2. Banana Boat Suncare coupons can be printed at http://www.bananaboat.com/. Print two. After you print the first one click back three times and another one will print. This in generally the rule on internet coupons - two per computer. If you try to print another it will say that you have reached your print limit. Price on these items will be approx. $2 each after coupons and ECB's.

3. If you have any of the Lindt coupons from www.coupons.com that were up a few weeks ago and if you still have the Bliss Chocolate coupon from SS 5/3 then pull these out for a chocolate deal. If anyone wants to come to a Stampin' Up Party on the 11th these will be some of the treats:)

4. The small bottles of Dawn Dishsoap will be on sale so if you have the Home made simple coupon books pull out the .50 coupon. This is where you will want to start questioning the logic that buying in bulk is always better. When you can get a small bottle or package for free or almost free that is my kind of deal. Sam's and Costco are almost NEVER a better deal. Believe me. I have made spreadsheets with prices from Sam's here in West Knox & Seattle WA. and Costco in Portland, OR & Seattle, WA and have been able to beat the prices on all but TWO items. My favorite Neutrogena Body Wash and McCormick Chicken Buillion Cubes.

Enough for Friday. Go have fun doing something besides worrying about good deals.
