New Grocery Coupons for the New Year

Posted by kim on January 4, 2010

I’ve been snowed in and unable to take advantage of all the after-Christmas sales.  I finally ventured out in the below zero temperatures yesterday, and the selection of 75% off stuff at Target and Walmart wasn’t much to write about.  Walgreens had a ton of stuff at 50% off, and I asked one of my manager friends when it would be marked to 75% off, and he said they weren’t going to mark it down further!?

I did manage to pick up two Sunday Omaha World Heralds – they are only $1.19 at Walmart (compared to $2 cover price) – as there were a ton of good coupons in the 1/3 issue.  The $2.50 off Electrasol Finish tabs* more than pays for the issue price.

Finish/Electrasol Detergent is on sale at Walgreens this week for $3.29 minus $1 Register Rewards minus coupon = Profit!

Since it’s not only a new month, it’s a new year, so that means new printable coupons as well! Here are my picks of the best new coupons from the major coupon sites – Make sure to print any that appeal to you right away as most coupons have a print limit and may not be there if you check back later!

I got all of the above stuff (over $100 value) for under $20 after coupons, rebates and Register Rewards!  Here’s how…

Walgreens

Rumor has it Walgreens is discontinuing their EasySaver Rebate program. Not sure if it’s true, but there is no Rebate booklet available for May.  Instead they seem to be offering more Register Rewards (RR) that are like instant rebates you can use on your next purchase. Just be sure to use them before they expire!

Got2B HairCare 2/$10 – $2 off Coupons – $5 RR = 50¢ each

Esencia Haircare Buy 1 for $7.99, Get 1 50% off for $3.99 - $1 off Coupons – Hangtag Mail-in Rebate valid for $7.99 off Shampoo/Conditioner & $3 off Styling Product = FREE + Profit 

Nivea Body Wash $4.99 – $1 off Coupon – $5 RR = FREE + Profit

Pepsi Products 3/$11 – $3 RR = 3/$8 (I’m trying to cut back to one Diet Dew per day, so theoretically this should last me over a month)

Rembrandt Toothpaste or Mouthwash $5.99 – $6 RR = FREE

Revlon Colorsilk Hair Color $1.99 with In-Ad Coupon – $1off 2 SS Coupon = $1.49 each
(You can combine In-Ad Coupons with Manufacturer Coupons, SS = Sunday Supplement)

Reynolds Wrap 89¢ with In-Ad Coupon – 55¢ off SS Coupon = 34¢

Tresemme Hair Care 2/$7 – $1 off Coupons – $2 RR = $1.50 each (my Garbo’s stylist told me this was the best OTC haircare product)

Plus I found tons of feminine supplies on Clearance!
Walgreens Brand Tampons 10 count - 50¢
Walgreens Brand Tampons 36 count - $1.79 (under 5¢ each)
Walgreens Brand Pantiliners 92 count – $1.39
Kotex Lightdays Pantiliners 135 count (regularly $6.99) – $1.79 – $2/2 Coupon = 79¢ each
I may go back for more and stock up for my three daughters (and my sister who raids my HBA Closet)!

Walmart

Always Pads & Pantiliners – Free Coupons that my youngest daughter got from school when they had “the talk” = FREE

Colgate Toothpaste $1 – $1 All You Coupon* = FREE

This & That

Did you notice my PEPSI sweatshirt?  I got that free a couple of years ago with Pepsi Stuff points, and it’s still one of my favorite.

While out and about I stopped to tan at Boss Tanning.  They offer $1 tans on Wednesdays.  I know it’s not Paint It Black 50X Extreme Silicone Auto Darkening Tanning Lotion only $15.95! Reg $99.99Wednesday, I’m just sayin’ for future reference.  And I know tanning is bad for you, causes skin cancer, blah blah blah, my mother already lectures me.  Anyway, if you tan, I have found it way cheaper to order tanning bed lotions online than from the salons.  I have found the best prices at Amazon.com (My Pick is Paint It Black 50X Extreme Silicone Auto Darkening Tanning Lotion 13.5 oz only $15.95 w/Free Super Saver Shipping! Regularly $99.99) and DollarDays.com (wholesale prices as low as 97¢ a bottle).

O’Henry Bars Recipe
4 cups Oatmeal
1 stick Margarine
1/2 cup White Syrup
1 cup Brown Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla
Mix above. Pat in 9×13 pan. Bake 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
Melt together:
1 cup Chocolate Chips
3/4 cup Peanut Butter
Spread over bottom layer and Enjoy.
