As of Tuesday I am officially 4 months along in my pregnancy. It's been a rough 4 months! I've been trying hard to get back into deals, but my focus has been on baby items, especially diapers. Thankfully there were a handful of diaper deals over the past few weeks, between Target, Walgreens, etc. Next week Walgreens is suppose to be having a great Huggies diaper deal, so I'm gearing up for that. I hit up the Target deal a few weeks ago and to my dismay, Target.com now prints coupons as manufacturers and NOT store coupons. No stacking. :( Which is unfortunate and the deal was a bust, so I'm not going to bother posting it!

Last week Walgreens had a Huggies deal, buy $25 worth of participating Huggies products and get $5 RR. I didn't have any decent diaper coupons, so I only came up with a wipes scenario and it worked perfectly! The Huggies wipes were on sale 2 for $5.00.



$25.00 - Huggies Wipes x 10

Subtotal - $25.00

- $10.00 Walgreens Huggies Wipes Coupon $1/box (IP or in-store flier)
- $6.75 Huggies Wipes Coupons $0.75 x 9 (IP)
- $0.50 Huggies Wipes Coupons

New Subtotal: $7.75

Paid OOP: $7.75 + tax (cash)

Received: $5.00 RR

Basically I paid $2.75 for 10 boxes of wipes, or $0.28 per box! The Huggies internet coupons are no longer available, which is why they are not linked. My mother gave me the $0.50 coupon, so I'm not sure what insert it came from. If I could have printed more Huggies coupons, I definitely would have repeated this deal!

This week I decided to try out the Rite Aid Nature's Bounty Vitamins deal. If you spend $50 on the vitamins, you get a $25 Rite Aid gift card. And there are some very high value coupons available to print for these vitamins! On top of that, they were b1g1f last week and this week. My friend Nicole was the one who helped me with this scenario. She's been very patient with my "pregnancy brain" stupidity lately. :) She came up with a way for me to get near free diapers!

YAY!! I am very pleased with these deals. Here's a picture of my current "baby stockpile" - and to think, I have 5 more months to go!! Many of these I bought, but several are from my mother-in-law as well (she is baby crazy already!)....



* Nature's Bounty Coupons! Read carefully. You need to sign up on their website and enter a bunch of codes for points. You can then redeem those points for high value coupons - $5, $3 and $2. You can print each coupon up to 6 times! Be sure to hit the 'BACK' button in order to print more than one - you may have to hit 'back' once or twice. Do not close out the window or you'll lose your chance to print more than 1 coupon. For a list of these codes, check out this website, you can enter each code twice. The first set of numbers are the lot # and the second sets are product #s. Good luck!
