First of all, despite reports that the Beneful BOGO coupons are scanning without beeps at crazy-high values, here among the non-Hill people the registers prompt for the price of the product. And I might as well say that those who claim the St. Ives BOGO coupon scanned (for high value, no less!) on the regular pumps…stop hitting the sauce so early in the day.

You see here two identical transactions totalling $58.01 with one bonus: A jar of Vaseline! Since I was never even in the Vaseline aisle, I am mystified – I can see Walgreens handing out free Vaseline lately…but I digress.  In the picture are 12 bags of Beneful and 12 Beneful Prepared Meals tubs, six Simple cleansing wipes, two moisturizers (ouch!), two pump cleansers and two moisturizing facial wash. Neat how I got the facial wipes free AND made $10 in gift cards from them!  Other areas had Beneful for $5.99 but the Woodridge location marked it at $5.49, which meant I had to add a couple more tubs to the mix so I could use that $10/$40 Target coupon.  I’ll probably hit a few more Targets during the week.  Shame that the Simple coupons expire today, though.  I‘m never satisfied!

I used $15 in gift cards from prior deals and ended up with $15 in gift cards, so a wash.  Saved 5% by using my REDcard.
