$30 Incentive to shop in Crystal Lake

If Crystal Lake, IL is in your shopping path, check out this link for an incentive to shop there. You may even want to make a special trip. On Route 14 within a 1 mile section, there is a ToysRUs, Jewel, Hobby Lobby, Best Buy, Kohls, Target, Sams Club and others as well as restaurants - Walmart has moved to the corner of 31 and Rakow but they would still be included as a Crystal Lake retailer. The other thing I noticed was that the certificates offered are 1 per person - but not 1 per family, so stretch those holiday dollars even further and pick up one for you and drag hubby along so he can get one too. That means you'd have to spend $600 but that's probably not too hard to do between groceries, Christmas and other household shopping - you'd get $60 back. Shop early before they run out of certificates.

Thanksgiving Deals Around Town

Need to stock up on Thanksgiving foods? Here are some of the great deals around town.

At Jewel you can get $10 off your bird when you buy $25 in participating Kraft products. There are little signs on the shelves under the products but here's a short list:
Cool whip
Kraft chunk and shred cheese
Nabisco crackers
Kraft salad dressing
Stove Top
Philadelphia cream cheese (only $.99 through Sat the 22nd)

There are more products - check your flyer.

The cream cheese can also earn you some cash (well coupons) back. Buy 5 get $2.00 OYNO, 6 get $3.00 OYNO or 7 get $4.00 OYNO. Now this is one of those instances where there is a limit of 4 - so how do you get to your 5, 6, or 7 and still spend only $.99? Buy 4 regular and 1, 2, or 3 1/3 less fat and you will pay only $.99 for each. It works I tried it.

There is also a $7.00 off your turkey coupon in the Jewel flyer. You can combine this with the Kraft deal.

At Meijer, if you buy a Rival Roaster $39.99, you get a $20 turkey free, there is also another deal: Spend $20 in other products, get $9 off a hen or $15 off a tom. It says the deals can't be combined but I have read reports of people combining them. When you buy the roaster, you may just get a $10 coupon off a small kitchen appliance as well like R.N. did.

Color Wonder Explosion Art Sets at Walgreens



Crayola Color Wonder Explosion sets are on sale for $6.99 and Buy 2 get 1 Free ($13.98 for 3) They are normally $8.99 - $9.49 each. In the Walgreens Activity Book (see picture below - $.99 if you don't have one already), there is a coupon for $1 off. So you pay $10.98 for 3. Great for kids from about 3-9 with the holidays coming up. Didn't check to see when the sale ends. The coupons are good for several more months.

HOT DEAL - ENDS 11/22 BIC Soleil Razors Cheap or a Money Maker at Walgreens!

Just got back from Walgreens and had to share this. Today and tomorrow are "Double Dipping" days at Walgreens - this is the two days when the November Easy Saver and December Easy Saver overlap. (Happens each month). This is the deal I took advantage of:

BIC Soleil Razors are B1G1 (this is part of the December Easy Saver - the Walgreens at Binnie & Randall had the sign up. The Walgreens at Square Barn & Algonquin did not.)
In the November Easy Saver there is a coupon for $3 off each one you buy (you only need 1 of these coupons - the register will automatically take $3 off each one - even the "free" one)

So - for every 2 you buy, you will pay $6.99 and get $6.00 off - $.99 for 2!

But, as with all good deals - it gets better!

If you have Manufacturer coupons (found in the 11/2 SS) - it becomes a Money Maker. You can use those and get an additional $3 off for each coupon you have. - Remember you can't go negative and you have to have at least the same number of items as coupons. If you are using Manufacturer coupons, figure out the math before you get to the register - you don't want any surprises. I didn't on my first transaction and it cost me - I could have gotten $6 in free items! But they sent up the red flag when I went negative - new cashier. Oh well! Live and learn from my mistakes!
