Kraft Mac & Cheese = 4/$4 - get back 2 ECB, so 4 boxes for $2 or 50 cents each (I think I recently saw a buy 3 get one free coupon in the paper, so that would be 4 boxes for $3 if you have that)
Spend $15 on Enegizer Batteries, get back $5 ECBs
Spend $10 on Glade air fresheners and get $3 ECBs (there are USUALLY Glade coupons around to make this deal worthwhile)
Spend $25 on Aveeno skin, sun, or hair and get $10 ECB (I'm going to look for some coupons for this - I wanted to try the baby Aveeno sunscreen)

Carefree Pantylines $3.79 with $3.79 back in ECB's = FREE!! Limit 4!
Other deals...
Summer clearanace 50% off - some things were tempting at 40% off last week, such as fans and chairs in a bag... I also like their knock-off Crocs for kids, which will be about $4 a pair. Might be worth it to get larger sizes for next summer. (Jaden has two pairs & loves em)
T-Shirts 5 for $10 - why not at $2 each?
Buy-One-Get-One FREE (BOGO)
CVS Batteries (I have a coupon for a free pack of them, so I'm thinking that SHOULD get me TWO free packs. You can never have enough batteries!)
Cover Girl Outlast lip color & lipstain - there are always CG coupons in the Proctor & Gamble inserts - I think the last one was $1 off 1 OR $2.50 off of two, which you could definitely use for this deal, since you'd be *buying* two items.
Almay Foundation, powder, blush or concealer
(ECB = Extra Care Bucks, which are coupons that are as good as cash at CVS)

Kraft Deal @ Shaw's... and Cheap Post Cereal
Want some free or more than free Kraft products? The only catch is that you have to send away a mail-in-rebate...
Shaw's is running a Kraft promo that expires on 8/23. Here's the deal - buy $25 worth of specific products and get a $5 coupon for your next shopping trip AND $20 from a mail in rebate (takes 6-8 weeks). The list of products can be found on the back of this week's flyer or on signs throughout the store.
For this, I went by the sale prices to meet the $25 AND I used mfg coupons to lower my total amount paid. I happened to stumble upon some Kraft coupon books in the store - which was quite fortunate as I'm not exactly organized these days when it comes to coupons. Just as an example, here is what I bought:
1 bottle A1 - found a coupon on the display for $1 off beef when you buy A1 and who doesn't need beef?
2 boxes of Ritz Bits Crackers - $1 off 2 from the Kraft coupon book
2 boxes of Teddy Graham Munch Packs (12 single serve each) - $1 off 1 from the Kraft coupon book; used 2
4 Planters Trail Mix - $1 off 2 from the Kraft coupon book
2 boxes of Capri Sun
Total before coupons = $26.41 (could've gotten one less trail mix, but the coupons were $1 off 2)
Total after coupons = $20.41 minus $5 from last week's Proctor & Gamble deal
Got back $5 coupon for next trip and $20 in a few weeks from the rebate.
There were plenty of products to choose from, I just chose what we'd be most likely to use at my house. A few of the other products included in the deal that I can think of off the top of my head... Kraft Mac & Cheese (4/$3), DiGiorno pizzas, Kraft shredded or cubed cheese, Oscar Mayer, Jello, Miracle Whip, Wheat Thins, Starbucks, etc...
The offer is only 1 rebate per address/household, but you can always send the $20 to someone else's address... parents, siblings, friends, whoever. I'm sure they won't mind, especially if you put their name on it. I'm thinking about going back for some more of the munch packs, as they're great to have in the car for lil ones.
Other notable deal this week...
Post cereals are on sale for 2 boxes for $5... there is a coupon in the flyer for $4 off when you buy 4 boxes AND there were two Post cereal coupons in the newspaper inserts last week or so, which I did happen to have, so $10 - $4 - $2 = $1 per box.
Happy Shopping!! :-)
P.S. Nothing too exciting at CVS this week. Just thought I'd mention it...

Shaw's Sale Ending TOMORROW 8/6
I love it when Shaw's runs specials that say, spend X amount and get X amount back on your next shopping trip, because what most people don't realize is that the amount that you NEED to spend to get the money back is based off of shelf price, so the more deeply discounted the item is, the less you will spend.
This week, there were two specials ... one where you needed to spend $30 to get $15 back and another where you spend $20 and got $5 back. You can mix and match the products, you just need to be aware of the shelf price. The spend $30 deal can be doubled up - say spend $60 get $30, however the spend $20 cannot be, which is important, because you want to make sure that you divide up your purchases accordingly.
Here is how I worked this out today to get the most for my money, while limiting my purchases that things that we will use...
