@Busymom - Wow, I thought LA always gets stuck with the high regional prices. I'm feeling extra grateful for the Kleenex deal now - 77-cents is the lowest price I can remember seeing, ever. But just a couple of months ago, I was pretty happy with $1/box. I hope CVS makes it up to you with extra good deals in the coming weeks!

@Mar - No problem, the online printable $/$$ are always tricky, I think. I was so excited when I saw the I heart CVS update, and then so bummed. Oh well, hopefully a perfectly legitimate coupon will come out soon!

Cathy, thanks for telling me about having to click on the one button. I hadn't gone to the website myself yet; I should have known to check it out first before passing it on!

The paper products in my area are higher. $1 for Kleenex, $6.49 for Cottonelle. I have a link to the coupon on my site if you need it: http://abusymomoftwo.blogspot.com/2008/09/cvs-scenarios-week-of-921.html

@Mar - You know, I did see the coupon but I just wasn't comfortable getting it b/c it seems to be intended for subscribers only (with the clicking yes to receiving the print edition). Thanks also for the heads up about the Dole Fruit - I'll have to take a look!

@Cindy - Thanks for the pointer about the coupon - I actually found the ones in my stash but that's good to know!

@Mari - Wow, that's a good haul! I'll have to see how many Reach q's I have - it would be worth doing multiple deals if the RR is that long-lasting. Thanks!

Here is what I picked up so far:
CVS: Revitalift, Nivea Mens Bodywash, Crest Pro Health Tooth Paste, 4 12pks of Pepsi. Spent $18 on gift card and 8 ECB's earned 21.98 back in ECB's

WAGS: Crest Whitening Strips, 2 Reach toothbrushes, Crest Pro Health Mouth Wash, 2 glade plug ins.
Spent $20 in RR and 5 something out of pocket after Q's and earned $17.50 back in RR & $2 for rebate. The RR for the reach toothbrushes don't expire until December which is really nice. I still have one more RR for $10 that I need to use by Saturday. I haven't quite figured out a scenario yet.

You can get Cottonelle coupons online. If you post a "pledge" on the web site, you get to print a $1 off aloe or ultra toilet paper (can do this twice). But I found out that the coupons actually work for any variety of Cottonelle. My CVS only had regular, so I bought 3 packs and used a 50 cent coupon from the newspaper, and 2 $1 coupons. I also bought a pack of Kotex (also with a coupon) and a box of Kleenex.

I don't have the link to the Cottonelle coupons, but I got it from slickdeals.

Cathy, did you see the link for the CVS $3/$15 coupon at http://sahmmoney.blogspot.com/?

We had enough kleenex so I bought 4 packages of the Cottonelle (which was $6.49 at our store). I can safely say that we are now stocked up on toilet paper!

If you have it in your area, the Dole Fruit at 3 for $5 is a pretty good price, especially if you have the $1 off 3 packages coupon that I had in my stash from who knows when. My daughter takes her lunch to school and wears braces, so the softer, small bite fruit is something she takes quite regularly.
