Sorry for being a little late on this post due to the Christmas holiday. Here is a list of the dirt cheap, free and moneymaker deals available this week at Target, CVS and Walgreens:

CVS:

FREE OR $2 MONEYMAKER ZYRTEC
Zyrtec 5 count packages are on sale for $5.99, with a $5.99 Extra Care Bucks reward printing on your receipt. There is a $2/1 Zyrtec coupon available here. The coupon excludes the trial size. Technically, this is not the trial size package, although your store may balk at accepting it. If the coupon goes through, you will pay $3.99 at the register and get $5.99 back, a $2 moneymaker! (FYI – Zyrtec makes a trial/travel size 3 count package.)

MONEYMAKER THERAFLU WARMING SYRUP OR CAPLETS
Selected Theraflu products are on sale for $4.77 each. A $3 Extra Care Bucks reward will print on your receipt when you buy two. There is a $5 mail-in rebate available here (good on Theraflu Warming syrup or caplets.) There are several coupons and combinations you could use on this deal, including a $2/1 Theraflu in the 12/4 SS and a $3/1 Theraflu Warming in the 12/4 SS.

The rebate states that you can not get the rebate in combination with coupons, so you technically shouldn’t use it if you are going to use the newspaper coupon.

This is what I believe to be the smartest scenario for doing the Theraflu deal.
TRANSACTION #1: Buy one Theraflu Warming product for $4.77. Do not use any coupons. Do not use any Extra Care Bucks to pay either. Pay $4.77 out of pocket. Submit for $5 rebate. $0.23 moneymaker on this transaction!
TRANSACTION #2: Buy one Theraflu Warming product for $4.77. Use a $3 coupon from 12/4 SS. Feel free to pay with Extra Care Bucks if you like. Your cost will be $1.77 and you will get a $3 Extra Care Bucks reward on your receipt. $1.23 moneymaker on this transaction!

WALGREENS:

FREE LICHI SUPER FRUIT PROBIOTIC (deal starts on 12/25)
Buy it for $9.99 and get back a $10 Register Reward = FREE!

FREE LIFESTYLES SKYN CONDOMS (deal starts on 12/27)
Buy the 3-pack for $4.99 and get back a $5 Register Reward = FREE!

CHEAP ILLY ISSIMO CANNED COFFEE DRINKS (deal starts on 12/25)
Buy two Illy Issimo coffee drinks, currently on sale 2/$3. Use the $2/2 Illy Issimo (Available At Walgreens) printable manufacturer coupon. Pay $1 total for both ($0.50 each!) I tried these when the CVS coupon machine gave me a freebie and they are outstanding!

CHEAP NABISCO CRACKERS (deal starts on 12/27)
Buy three Nabisco Crackers on sale 2/$5 (total $7.50 for three.) Use one B2G1 Nabisco Crackers (printable coupon – no longer available.) Also use the $1/2 Nabisco Crackers coupon in the Walgreens December Coupon booklet (usually found near the weekly ads at the front of the store.) The Walgreens $1/2 coupon will actually deduct $1.50 from your total because you are buying three items. Total cost for all three items is $3.50, or $1.17 each.

CHEAP HYDROGEN PEROXIDE (deal starts on 12/27)
This is a great filler item if you need it. They are on sale 3/$1 when you use the in-ad coupon.

CHEAP NATURE’S BOUNTY & NATURE MADE VITAMINS
These items are on sale BOGO this week and there are printable coupons for both brands here. Final cost will vary, but some items will be around $1.50 each with the BOGO and printable coupons.

POSSIBLY CHEAP K-Y INTENSE & YOURS AND MINE
This is a complex deal that may or may not work. If it does, you will get one of each item for only $4.99 total ($2.49 each!) Details of the possible scenario here.

TARGET:

Not a lot of incredible deals at Target this week, but I would be on the lookout for great Christmas clearance finds if you still have your coupons for candy, Glade holiday products, etc.

CHEAP LIPTON TEA BAGS ON PRICE CUT
Some 20 ct. packages of Lipton Tea Bags are on price cut for $1.77-$1.79. There is a $1/2 printable Target store coupon available here, plus there are $1/1 printable manufacturer coupons available here. Buy two, use one $1/2 and two $1/1 coupons to get these as low as $0.27 each.
