COUPONS

DRUG STORES
CVS
It’s a good week to stock up on diapers at CVS, using this week’s “spend $30, get $10 ExtraBucks” offer. Here’s how:
1) Buy 3 jumbo packs Pampers for $9.50 each, plus 1 box Pampers wipes for $3. Your initial total is $31.50.
2) Use three $1.50 off Pampers coupons from this weekend’s P&G BrandSaver (you will have to buy 3 newspapers), and one $.50/1 wipes coupon. Your total after coupons is $26.50.
3) After you get the $10 ECBs, your real cost is $16.50 for three jumbo packs and one box of wipes. If you figure $1.50 went towards the wipes, that meets my target price of $5 per jumbo pack. (It works out to 14 cents a diaper for size 2 Swadlers or 19 cents each for size 4 Cruisers.)

GROCERY STORES
The most super-exciting thing about today’s ads: Doubler coupons in the Jewel ad! Apparently not all copies of the Jewel ad has these coupons, curiously. If you’re one of the lucky ones, you’ll see five store coupons along the right front of the ad. Each one will double the value of one manufacturer’s coupon worth up to $1. So if you hand over one $1 manufacturer’s coupon and one store doubler coupon, you should get $2 off your product of choice. Limit 5 doubled coupons per customer, per day. This runs through Wednesday, Feb. 1, only.
OTHER STORES
Babies R Us is having a trade-in event. Bring in an old stroller, crib, etc., and they’ll give you 25% off a new one. This would be a good way to dispose of old stuff that is no longer considered safe, since I’m guessing Babies R Us can be trusted to dispose of it. If you don’t have any old junk to trade in, there is a coupon on page 2 for 15% off a stroller, car seat or travel system.
Macy’s has a coupon for an extra 15% off sale and clearance home items, with tons of exceptions as usual, good through Tuesday 1/31. If you don’t have a paper coupon, you can text “CPN” to MACYS (62297).
Menards has free-after-mail-in-rebate items. These rebates come in the form of credit checks you can spend at Menards:
- Free 20″ hand saw after $10 MIR, limit 2.

- Free picture hanging assortment kit after $2.50 MIR, limit 4.

Michaels, in addition to its usual 40% off one regular-price item coupon, has a coupon for 25% off your entire purchase, Sunday Jan. 29 only. My middle child is turning 5 next week, so you BET I will get over to Michaels tomorrow.
