Sunday Savings: Bed Bath & Beyond

FYI, in Today's Newspaper there is a 20% off coupon in the Bed Bath & Beyond ad. One of these days I am going to use one of these to buy a Dyson Vacuum! Right now though there are some seriously good Memorial Day Sales going on you could use the coupon on. And they have a lot of Father's Day stuff on sale. Also, if you sign up for the Bed Bath & Beyond emails as a first time email subscriber, you will get a 20% off coupon in your email. You can sign up for that here.

Sunday Savings: Beckees Best of Walgreens 5/30-6/5


As a bit of an intro, since I started shopping at Walgreens and getting Register Rewards (RR), I seem to always have RRs that I need to use before they expire. In case you do not know, RR are the same as Catalinas at other stores which are basically coupons you get back for future purchases. Well, I try to "roll" the rewards by using them to pay for things that give me new RR, and it is a bonus when those things I can roll are things I really need, or can get free.

This list will include items with RRs this week that I think are good, as well as any deals that I think are worth mentioning (even if they do not have RR). This is NOT a comprehensive list, just the items I think are great deals. Please see your local ad to see ALL your local deals this week.
