HEB--Deal on Wrigley's 5 Gum


HEB currently has a deal going where if you buy single packs of Wrigley's 5 gum, you will get one free. This didn't sound like a very good deal to me because they are normally priced at $1.32 a pack. (When in the world did gum get so expensive?) My husband generally goes through a pack of gum every one or two days, so I am always on the lookout for deals on gum.

I noticed that certain flavors of Wrigley's 5 gum is clearance priced at $0.66

Deal idea:

Buy 4 packs of gum at $0.66 each
-use 1 coupon for $1.00 off 2 Wrigley's 5 gum (found here)
-use 2 HEB store coupons for Buy one Wrigley's 5 gum get one free
Final Price: $0.32 for all 4 packs of gum...only $0.08 each

I don't know about you, but I'd much rather pay $0.08 for gum instead of $1.32!!

Note...I found this gum by the register along with the yellow in store coupons. I checked several different lanes and they all had packages of the gum for $0.66. You need to make sure and read the tags and pick up the correct flavor. I think these would be good to throw in Easter baskets for older kids!

HEB--Betty Crocker Instant Potatoes



HEB currently has a deal where if you purchase 10 participating General Mills products you will receive a $5.00 catalina coupon at checkout.

I walked through HEB to see if I could find the best way to do this deal. Here is the best deal I could come up with. (Please let me know if you guys find something better).

BUY 10 pouches of Betty Crocker Instant Mashed Potates $0.76
-These are General Mills products that will trigger the $5.00 Catalina
-HEB also has a store deal going where if you purchase 10 of these you will receive a catalina coupon for $2.00 off any HEB brand item
Final Price: Pay $7.60, but receive 2 catalina coupons (1 for $5.00 and 1 for $2.00 off HEB brand item)

In my opinion, this is a great deal! Even if your family does not use these products, this is a GREAT item to donate.

HEB--General Mills Promotion


I went to HEB to try to find some deals this afternoon, and I was very happily surprised. I was walking through the store, and I found a display of Betty Crocker Au Gratin Potatoes with a pink tag on it. I looked at the tag and it said that if you buy 10 select General Mills products you will receive a $5.00 Catalina coupon at checkout and 5 free music downloads. Sounds good to me. :)

There was a list of participating products on the back of the paper, and I didn't notice any size exclusions so I thought I'd do a test run.

Transaction #1:
I purchased 10 pouches of Bisquick...each $0.71.
Final Price: $7.10 and a catalina for $5.00 off my next shopping order printed and a catalina for 5 FREE music downloads

I decided to see if this catalina coupon would roll to another General Mills deal.

Transaction #2;
I purchased 10 pouches of Betty Crocker Instant Potatoes...each $0.76
-used $5.00 catalina from transaction #1
Final Price: $2.60 AND another catalina for $5.00 off my next shopping order printed AND a catalina for $2.00 off any HEB Brand Item AND a catalina for 5 FREE music downloads

In my opinion that is a pretty good deal. I spent a total of $9.70, but I still have a total of $7.00 in catalina coupons to use.

Coupons for Baby Items

I was just looking through the coupons available at coupons.com, and I wanted to point out some pretty high value coupons for baby items. My youngest son has been out of diapers for close to 2 years now, but I remember how expensive baby items could be...Sure wish I knew how to effectively coupon back then.

-$3.00 off Huggies Diapers (60 ct. or larger) (found under Household category)
-$2.00 off Huggies Diapers (found under Household category)
-$5.00 off VTech Toy ($19.99 or higher) (found under Toys and Games Category)
(Not exactly a baby item, but they do have great learning toys for little ones)

Go here
to print any of these coupons.
