Rite Aid 1/31-2/6

A couple of things to remember this week, a $5/25 coupon is on redplum.com. If you have already printed it though, it won't let you print again. BUT...the video values coupons will be reset on February 1 so you can earn a new $5/20 coupon and new product coupons. (The ones in the matchups below are January's, so print them before Monday!) Also, don't forget to keep collecting those Game of Life tickets.

Pampers New Diapers

I really don't like to repost things that have been on every other blog. I know you know about the http://www.pampers.com 3 pack sample that is good today only by now. Thanks to Laura from my dallas mommy for the heads up.

Anyway, I am posting this because Pampers is doing this because they are relaunching their newly designed Cruisers line. babycheapskate has all the details as to why. This is great for us couponers though. A new line will mean new high value coupons, new sales, new samples, and promos. Keep your eyes open for these new diapers and deals come March. There will probably also be great clearance deals on the "old" Cruisers.

Friday Food for Thought: Deal or No Deal

I like to look at my grocery store to see if there are any cheap juices. Usually I can find some up to 75% off because they will expire in a couple of days. On Tuesday, I bought this juice for 99 cents and thought I got a good deal. It said "natural energy" on it, but I figured it just must be some kind of vitamins added. Anyway, I bought it home and for dinner we all had a glass. Wednesday morning my husband and I were both complained how hard it was to get to sleep. I then realized the kids also took longer than usual to settle down for bed. Later that day, I looked at the juice bottle more closely and it contained "25 mg of natural caffeine per serving"! Mystery solved, I might have well served my kids Coke for dinner. We never have caffeine at our house, so you can see how it affected us. I will be reading labels more closely on new products. I would have to say: No Deal! My sleep is worth way more than a good deal!
