Coupon Recon: Best Place To Use That Coupon

Do you get coupons in the paper and wonder, where do they sell that product?  Or do you wonder where I can I get the best deal?  Here is some helpful information for you!

Safeguard or Ivory Liquid Hand Soap: buy it at Market Place
Walmart and Walgreens don't carry it, Kroger doesn't carry it.  I finally stumbled across it at Sureway and then found it at Market Place.  At Market Place, Safeguard runs $1.95 and Ivory runs $1.39 (it was a little higher at Sureway).  If we get another dollar off Ivory coupon, I'll definitely be using it at Market Place for the hand soap.  Not sure why the Safeguard is so much higher than the Ivory, probably just because it's at the super market.  With a $1 off coupon, 95-cents for hand soap isn't a bad price, though!  This would be one of the items to throw into your cart during each shopping trip so you don't increase your bottom line too much in one visit.

Wacky Mac Pasta: buy it at Market Place
There is a coupon at http://www.coupons.com/ for 40-cents off; Walmart carries it for 1.26; Market Place carries it for $1.28 and DOUBLES this coupon to 80-cents making your total 48-cents!  Definitely want to use this coupon at Market Place!  Once you print it, the expiration date should be about 30 days away, hang onto it and see if it goes on sale!

Carmex Lip Balm: buy it at Market Place or Walmart
Did you print your Carmex 35-cents off coupon?  Walmart has it priced as low as 98-cents, or 63-cents after coupon.  BUT!  Use the same coupon at Market Place where it is $1.29 and the coupon doubles to 70-cents, pay only 59-cents.  I could not find the little "pots" of Carmex at Market Place, just the roll-up and squeezy tubes.

Heinz Ketchup:  buy it at Market Place
The 40 oz Heinz Ketchup was $1.98 yesterday at Walmart.  Even if you price match to the Market Place advertised price of $1.48, you're going to pay an extra 50-cents to buy it at Walmart.  Market Place will double your coupon, saving you a dollar off the purchase price!

Tic Tacs: buy it at Walmart
There is reportedly an upcoming coupon for $1 any one Tic Tac.  Prices ranged from $1.04 to $1.50 for Tic Tacs at Walmart.  I forgot to check the prices at Market Place.  Because this coupon doesn't double, you're probably going to find it for less at Walmart.  Please keep in mind that we may not see this coupon in our local papers!

Nestle Crunch Bars: buy it at Market Place
I could not find any Nestle Crunch singles in the Walmart checkout.  I could not find the price of the singles in the Market Place checkout!  Other candy bars were about 75-cents, though, so I'm going to say use your 35-cent off coupon at Market Place where it will double to 70-cents.  There is also going to be a sale on Nestle coming up at Walgreens, I haven't checked to be sure they carry Nestle Crunch.  If you try to get it at Walgreens, you'll probably be greeted by empty shelves; the couponers love Walgreens and have been picking it dry!  If you want to get it at Walgreens, get there early on the Sunday when the sale starts!  But, I will use this coupon at Market Place.  I didn't check each checkout lane, but with about 10 lanes, I'm sure Market Place will not run out!

If you're looking for a specific product, send me an email at hopkinscountycouponer@gmail.com and I'll add it to my watch list.

Thanks again, and happy couponing!
