Go Get Your Free Floss at Walmart

At Walmart there are 2 types of Reach Floss. 55yd Reach floss is $1 and 110yd is $2. Here is how to get some for free or close to it.

First go here. If you are in my area, choose "no thank you" when it asks for your zip code or enter zip code 48201. The west coast often gets coupons of significantly less value. Print off the Listerine $2 coupon. After your coupon prints, hit your browser's back button. It may print one more. This usually only works once. You could have 2 coupons but you will have at least 1. This coupon specifically says it's only for 1 item. Use it on the 110yd Reach floss and get the 1 or 2 free!

Now go here and print the $1.50 off any 2 Reach items. Don't forget to hit your back button. This one we will use on the unflavored 55yd. They will be $.25 each!

Finally if you have the coupon insert from last Sunday (6/14/09) there is a $1 off Reach floss coupon. So that is 1 more free!

I went tonight with 2 $2 coupons, 2 $1.50 coupons and 1 $1 coupon from Sunday's insert. I got 7 packs of floss for $1!

Thanks to Money Saving Mom for the tip off!

What is Coupon Stacking?

I just received a really great question about coupon stacking. So I thought I would explain here. Coupon stacking means combining your manufacture coupons with another discount such as a sale and/or a store coupon. Stores such as Target and Safeway have their own coupons for added savings. These are not the Catalina coupons that print out at the register. Those are manufacture coupons. Safeway has store coupons available in the adds and on their website. In my opinion the best place to get your Target coupons is right here. Here are couple of stacking scenarios you can do this week if you have the right coupons.

Target
Coupon+Coupon Stack
Hamburger, Chicken or Tuna HelperRegular Price $1.52 per box
Target Coupon $1 off 2 boxes
Manufacture coupon for $.80 off when you buy 3 available here.
$1.52 x 3= minus $1 TQ and $.80 MQ = $2.76 or $.92 a box!

Coupon Plus Store Special Stack
Kellogg's Raisin Bran Crunch, Cocoa Krispies & Apple Jacks - $2.75 each
Get a FREE gallon of milk with purchase of any 3 of these cereals
Use $1/1 Raisin Bran Crunch here
Use $1/1 Cocoa Krispies & Apple Jacks in 6/7 Red Plum insert
Final Price = $1.75/ea when you buy 3 plus a FREE Gallon of milk!

Remember to save the Red Plum and Smart Source inserts from your Sunday paper. The items you have coupons for this week will usually go on sale a few weeks later.

Morning Star Veggie Burgers 39 cents a box!

I took the whole family including little girl's friend to Target and it went great. The girls are old enough to entertain themselves in the book section and Papa kept the babies busy strolling them around the toy department. I did stick to my list with only a few exceptions. I brought the coupon binder in with me and it was a good thing. You never know when a surprise sale or clearance item will pop up!

I had 2 transactions. I greeted my checker and told her right away "I have 2 transactions and a lot of coupons. Is that OK?" It is always good to let your checker know what's up.

The first was for a great deal on Softsoap Ensembles. I learned about this on Money Saving Mom. This was perfect timing because we needed hand soap. These are the new ones where you keep the pump top and buy the refill bottoms. Both the bottles and the refills are on sale right now at Target for $6 each. When you buy 2 you get a $5 Target gift card. There are manufacture coupons and target coupons you can stack to buy these.

Key: MQ=Manufacture coupon. TQ=Target coupon. IP=Internet Printable
First transaction:
Buy 2 Softsoap Ensemble Value Packs at $6 each
Use 2 $2/1 manufacturer's coupons here You will need a 2nd computer to get 2 of these.
Stack with 2 $2/1 Target coupons here
Spend $4 plus tax out of pocket, Get a $5 Target gift card.

Then the 2nd transaction:

3 Hamburger and Tuna Helper on sale for 3/$4.56 - $.75 MQ - $1TQ =$.93 each
