Delly's Deals on Facebook

I wanted to do a quick post reminding everyone to find Delly's Deals on Facebook. Sometimes people ask why I don't update my web site more often; the answer is that I'm too busy posting all day on Facebook! 

I only post articles here about 3-4 times per week but I post on Facebook usually at least 3-4 times per day, often many more than that. I also share coupons that you can print on Facebook (I posted three today). Right now, my coupon sharer program makes it a lot easier to share coupon deals on Facebook than here on my website. 


Another benefit of the Facebook page is that other couponers post there, too. It's always fun to see what deals others find and  you can also ask questions if something confuses you. There will be plenty of people there to help answer!


Don't be afraid of Facebook. I know some people have fears about joining but I do know folks who have a very simple profile, no photos of themselves or their family and they only use Facebook as a means of connecting with businesses and getting deals and coupons.

Working the Deals at Family Dollar

We are so lucky here in Southeastern NC to have so many wonderful stores to choose from. Competition is key in making sure that consumers get great prices and deals. 


I do know that some of my readers are in areas where grocery stores do not double coupons; that is a shame but great deals can still be had.


One place that is often overlooked is Family Dollar. It is a national dollar store chain but not in the traditional sense. Not everything costs $1.00 and they have many name brand products for sale at good prices. In addition, they do take manufacturer's coupons. They will take up to two coupons per item, provided that one coupon is a manufacturer's coupon and one is a store coupon. They will not accept two manufacturer's coupon for one item. They explain their policy very clearly on their web page here. Family Dollar does not address any sort of limit on the number of coupons that you can use in general. So for example, if you wanted to buy ten packs of diapers and you had ten manufacturer diaper coupons, I presume you could use all ten. They also have coupons available for print on their website, at http://www.familydollar.com/pages/printable-coupons.aspx

Even better is that once or twice a month, they also put $5 off $25 purchase coupons in their store flyer. Note that the $5 off $25 is only found in the Sunday newspaper flyer (occasionally they send it in the mail). If you look for this $5 coupon in the store, you will not find it, so you have to have it ahead of time. Here's a secret- the $5 off $25 coupon is also available for you to print on their website here.

This week Family Dollar had some awesome sales PLUS there was that $5 off $25 coupon inside the flyer. One sale I noticed is Heinz Ketchup (fairly big bottle) for $1.50. After $.50 off coupon from the Sunday newspaper, this makes the ketchup only $1.00. If I'm not mistaken, that is the same price as Harris Teeter this week after the coupon doubles there.

I did a good deal there this week on Luvs Diapers. They were not on sale (if they had been, my deal would have been even better). I needed diapers, however, and I know they are decently priced at Family Dollar, so even though they weren't on sale, I decided to go for it. When I arrived, I was surprised to find $1.00 off LUVS coupons sitting on the shelf! Even better is that they were manufacturer's coupons, so I could either use them at Family Dollar or take them to another store when they go on sale elsewhere.

I decided to buy 4 packs. This is how the deal worked out for me:

4 Packs of LUVS at $7.50 each- $30
4 LUVS coupons for $1.00 each- minus $4
Total so far: $26
Use my $5 off $25 purchase coupon= $21

So I paid $21 plus tax for four packs of diapers (that is $5.25 a pack).

That's a pretty good deal- not the best deal I've ever gotten but certainly better than the usual price. Also, I compared the price to Sams Club and it turns out that the price per diaper is EXACTLY the same! At both stores it is $.15 per diaper. Keep in mind, though, that at Family Dollar there are no membership fees and you can also use VISA credit card (don't know if that matters to some people- I know SAMS doesn't accept VISA credit cards, only VISA debit). I haven't checked WalMart's price on size 4 LUVS, but if you know it, fill me in. I am betting it's higher than the deal I got at Sams Club.

This is a great week to check out Family Dollar, due to the coupon and to the many Memorial Day Sales they had in their flyer. This week, all charcoal is Buy one get one half off; Gain, Tide, Bounty Basic and Bounty are $5, Hefty Trash Bags are 2 for $5, Pepsi Product 12 packs are $2.50 each (with store coupon) and Soft Soap Body Wash is 2 for $5. There are also some clothing sales, too, like buy two get third for $1. Keep in mind that you can still use coupons plus the $5 off $25 on these prices to bring down your total. These sales are available through Monday, May 28th.


Shopping at Family Dollar can be fun and economical! Check them out!

Awesome Deals at CVS- paid $14.07 plus tax for $51.21 worth of products!

 I MADE money buying some of these products today at CVS!

When things work out, shopping can be so much fun at CVS! 

I wanted to share a trip that I did that you can also do, too, through Saturday night. I bought over $50 worth of products for only $14.07 out of pocket, plus taxes! Even better is that after I paid, I still got $4 back in Extrabucks to use on another order, so it's like I paid $10.07 for all of those products!


This week, many of the coupons from the Raleigh Sunday paper matched sales going on at CVS in their flyer. This made for pretty easy deals.


I split my order into three transactions, so that I could use Extrabucks that I earned from the first two transactions to pay for everything else. The cashier was very nice and did not mind at all, especially since I told her I would be doing this and also let people behind me go before I did a second or third transaction.


This is what I did:


Transaction #1

 I paid $12.07 plus tax for these facial products, and after I paid I got back $5 in Extrabucks to spend on a future order!

I bought:

1 Simple Facial Wash
1 Simple Facial Wipes
1 Simple Facial Exfoliator

I redeemed:
2 coupons, each for $1 off of a Simple Product. I got these out of the Raleigh paper. I only had two coupons; if I'd had another, I would have used it, too. 

I also had a CVS coupon for $3 off my total order of personal care products or cosmetics. I had just gotten it from the CVS coupon center before I got in line, so it pays to go over and scan your CVS card when you go into the store!


My total came to $12.07 plus tax, but I got back $5 in Extrabucks because CVS was running a promo that said, "Buy $15 of Simple Products and get $5 in Extrabucks back." Before my coupons came off, I had spent $15 worth, so that's why I earned the $5 bonus Extrabucks. Great deal. On to the next transaction!


Transaction #2

 I paid only $2.00 plus tax for all of these products!

I bought:


3 Suave Body Washes
12 Suave Lotions 18 oz
1 Irish Spring Mens Deoderant
1 Irish Spring Mens Body Wash



(CVS is running a promo where if you buy 2 Irish Spring products, you earn $4 in Extrabucks (super easy) and if you buy $12 of Suave products, you earn $4 in Extrabucks. My combination of 3 Suave body washes and 2 Suave Lotions added up to $12 before my coupons. You can do your own combo if you want.)


I redeemed: 


2 coupons for the Irish Spring products, each for $.50 off, totaling $1.00 off
1 Buy one Get one Free coupon for the Suave Lotions, which took off $3.00
1 Buy 2 get one Free coupon for the Suave body washes, which took off $3.00
1 CVS coupon for $5 off my total purchase (this came from the Extracare center on a previous trip)
My $5 worth of Extrabucks that I had just earned from Transaction #1


My total came to: $2.00 plus tax for 4 body washes, 1 deoderant and 2 big bottles of lotion! Even better is that after I paid, I got back $8 in Extrabucks to spend on my next order! Counting the Extrabucks, I actually MADE $6! Without coupons or promos, the total would have been $24.27. On to the last transaction.


Transaction #3 

 I paid $0.00 for these Kleenex and still had $4 in Extrabucks to spend left over!

I was sick last weekend and really needed Kleenex. They were not on sale, but I bought three boxes and paid for them with $4 of my Extrabucks that were left over from Transaction #2.


3 boxes of Kleenex came to $3.87. I redeemed the $4 in Extrabucks and paid $0 for them! Actually, I had to pay the $.27 in tax, but that was from the state of NC, not CVS :)


After I was done, I still had $4 in Extrabucks left to spend on another trip. I will save them to use on another purchase.


I hope I explained well how I did this. CVS offers so many promos, some weeks they are so generous, as they were this week. Simply check out the flyer for promos on products that you would use, match your coupons to them, and then use your Extrabucks that you earned to pay for future transactions. 


Let me know what kind of deals you find at CVS this week!

Awesome Deal on Name-Brand Sunscreen at Rite Aid!

 I got 8 bottles of sunscreen for $3.61 each! 

These would have cost $87.92 if I had bought them full price with no sale!

With three children and a pool in the backyard, sunscreen is a valuable commodity around here! One thing I have learned is that the time to get your sunscreen is NOW! 

Stores (especially drug stores) are gearing up for summer by offering great deals on many summer products such as bug spray, outdoor items, and sunscreen. To make things even sweeter, the manufacturers have put out coupons to match many of these sales. I can guarantee you that you won't see these deals in the dead heat of the summer; by then, the sales and coupons will be sparse. It pays to get stocked up now before it gets hot and before you end up running to the store on your way to the beach and paying full price. Regular price on most sunscreen is between $8-$11 per bottle. I know some people buy dollar store sunscreen; call me paranoid, but I just don't trust it as much. Besides that, I prefer the spray-on and I have never seen that at the dollar stores. Again, with children, it takes forever to rub sunscreen on, so I really love to buy the easier-to-use spray.


But, of course I don't want to pay full price for it!


This week Rite Aid had several very generous deals on sunscreen. For the record, CVS did, too, but by my math the best deal was at Rite Aid. I will explain below how I got eight bottles for about $3.61 each!


I had to do two transactions. The reason is that I earned +UP rewards (Rite Aid money) off the first transaction, which I then applied to the second transaction to help save on my second purchase.


Transaction #1

First, buy 6 bottles of Banana Boat and use 3 $1 off coupons. 

After paying, you will get back $10 in +UP rewards to use on another shopping trip!

This week at Rite Aid, buy $30 worth of Banana Boat or Hawaiian Tropic Products and get $10 in +UP rewards back.

Banana Boat Sunscreen is ALSO on sale for B1G1 free this week at Rite Aid- makes the deal even better!


I bought 3 bottles of Banana Boat Spray Sunscreen for $10.99. I got 3 more for FREE, since they are on B1G1 free sale through Saturday. $10.99 x 3= $32.97, so I have now met the $30 requirement to earn my $10 +UP reward.


I also applied 3 coupons for $1.00 off one bottle. I had six coupons but you can only use one coupon per set when you're doing buy one get one free at Rite Aid.


After sale and coupons, my total was $29.97 plus tax. I then got back $10 in +UP Rewards to use on my next order, so it's almost like those 6 bottles cost me $19.97!


Transaction #2

Second, buy two Coppertone Sunscreens and use the $3 off 2 coupon from the Sunday paper. You'll owe $2.98 plus tax AND after you pay, you'll get $4 back in +UP rewards to use 

at Rite Aid on another shopping trip!

I then bought two bottles of Coppertone Sunscreen. Coppertone is on sale this week at Rite Aid for $7.99 (regularly it costs $10.99). I had coupons for $3 off 2, plus Rite Aid has a promo where if you buy a bottle of Coppertone, you earn $2 +UP rewards per bottle, limit 2 rewards.


So, I bought two Coppertone for $15.98 and then used my $3 off coupon, making the total $12.98. I then used the $10 in +UP rewards from the first order I did and applied it to this payment, making the total $2.98 plus tax for two bottles of Coppertone! As if that weren't enough, after paying, I got back $4 in +UP rewards, so I really made $1.02 off that second transaction. How awesome is that?


In the end, I got $87.92 worth of sunscreen for only 32.95 plus tax AND had $4 in +UP rewards left to spend on my next trip.

+UP Rewards look like this. They are basically money that you can use at Rite Aid on future purchases, with some limitations (like tobacco, alcohol, lotto). 

They are attached to the end of your receipt, so be sure to look!

Now my only dilemma is estimating how much sunscreen we'll go through this summer! By the way, if you want to do these deals, the coupons were in the last two Sunday papers, Raleigh editions. You can also find some online by searching with my coupon database above. I also saw some sunscreen coupons in the Red Plum E-book of printable coupons, too.


Even if you have no coupons, you can still take advantage of the awesome sales right now (especially the B1G1 free at Rite Aid) and also the promos that are being run (such as the buy $30 and get $10 +UP rewards back).


Don't get caught without your sunscreen this summer! You have until Saturday night to get these deals.
