m&m's and irish spring $1 each (+ tax). i think the irish spring is limit 1 per transaction, so make sure to do each deal separately! if you don't have the $2 irish spring coupon you could use the current $1.50 coupon instead.

the box of lucky charms was only $.88!

milk was $2.04, which is a good deal here. but milk pricing is regional, so check your local ad for your pricing!

my receipt shows limit not reached on the hershey's singles, but it was reported that if you buy 2 in one transaction extrabucks only print for one... so make sure you buy them separately! they probably made the limit 2 rather than reset the deal for the ad starting thursday.

i couldn't find the rescue gum or robitussin soothers freebies at my store, but i will check again before the ad ends.

i got milk for just $2.34 after sale, extrabuck, & ibotta. that's cheap in my area. milk prices are very regional, so if $3.59 doesn't sound like much of a sale to you it's probably cheaper in your region.

there is also a snap by groupon offer for $1 cash back on milk available on many accounts. (i already submitted for this offer with my rite aid trip from last week.)

the kotex is part of the gas card deal, so i now have $4.49 towards the $30 needed. i'm hoping to finish the deal with cottonelle and/or scott.

the cvs ad shows that the schick deal requires purchase of both schick cartridges & shave gel, however it also works with the purchase of 2 shave gels. it makes the skintimate $1.79 each if your store sells them for $3.79 like mine. i usually wait for $1 or less, but i ran out!

unfortunately, i did not price check the venus. the shelf said $6.99 but it rang up $7.99. still only $.99 after coupon and extrabucks, but i really don't like to pay for any women's razors because i find the men's razors work so much better!

i had seen reports that the nivea skin firming lotion 2.5 oz was no longer printing eb (which made sense, because the ad said it was excluded), but i hadn't seen any reports on the smooth sensation, so i gave it a try. but no extrabucks on this one either...
