Brita Freebie Update
Sooooo, in light of the moneymaker deal on the Brita Basic water filtration pitcher, I thought I'd head over to my local Walmart to get lucky. I was not lucky. I was beyond unlucky. Not only was my local Walmart out of the coveted $8.97 Brita Basic water filtration pitcher, but (as the kindly salesperson informed me) the other two Walmarts within a 30-minute drive were also out of the pitcher.
To complicate things a bit further: if you look on the Walmart website, all of the pitchers under $12 have been snatched up. So, apparently couponing is a competitive sport.
Heartbroken, defeated even--I headed over to Meijer to see if they had any comparably priced pitchers. I hadn't seen any of the other couponing websites mention Meijer so I didn't get my hopes up. But...Meijer has them. AND they are only a couple pennies higher than the Walmart price :) So, if any of you ladies are interested in picking one up, try Meijer.

Regular Price: $8.99

If you still can't find a pitcher, CVS has them available for $8.99 here. Even with shipping time, you should be able to redeem the $10 in plenty of time. The rebate offer as well as the $4 coupon don't expire until March 31st.

Brita Water Filtration Pitcher...Earn Cash!!
Considering a number of Americans are now drinking filtered of some type, it is economical to invest in a Brita water filtration system. You save tons of money every year if you stockpile a single Brita water filtration pitcher plus a few extra filters versus the price of bottled water. However, Brita has actually sweetened that deal even more this week. In fact, this was such a good deal on a Brita water filtration pitcher, that I thought I'd do this price comparison in a separate post:
Good
Walgreen's
Brita Standard Pitcher
$16.99
$2 in store coupon
$4 off coupon in Smart Source
$10 rebate available here:
Total: 99 cents
Sounds good right? Hard to do better than a Brita water filtration pitcher for under a buck. But, oh...it gets better:

Yes, that's a profit of $4.01 in your pocket. You're actually GETTING PAID to purchase a
Brita water filtration pitcher. If that
doesn't already sound sweet enough, there is actually a better deal available
if you buy the pitcher from Walmart this week:
BEST
Walmart
Basic Brita Pitcher $8.97
Use $4.00 off coupon from Smart Source
Submit $10.00 mail in rebate posted above
Final Price: $5.03 Profit
Yep. The purchase of a Brita water filtration pitcher is actually putting $5 back into your pocket. Note that the rebate offer used to be available on the Brita website, but it was taken down shortly after this week's sales on Brita water filtration pitchers began. It is available on this link and will probably not be there for very long. Also, you have to keep in mind that these Brita water filtration pitchers will probably sell out fairly quickly this week--so get yours while you still can!
A trillion thanks to Krazy Coupon Lady for this deal.
Price Comparison This Week: Meijer, Walgreen's, Rite Aid, CVS
Most supermarkets will put the exact same products on sale during the sales week. It's smart to compete with other retailers in that way. It's great that a number of our favorite brands are on sale at pretty much any retailer we might visit; however, as consumers, we just want to know where we can get more bang for our buck.
In response, I thought I'd do a little price comparison between various supermarket and drug store sales this week. Deals will be rated as: Good, Better, or Best. Go forth and save money people!

Looks can be deceiving here. It looks like you get the better deal at CVS, but Meijer is actually selling the DOUBLE rolls of Cottonelle; this means that you are getting double the amount of toilet paper per roll. If you do the math, you're actually saving about 10 cents per roll (or what would be the equivalent of one roll) if you stock up with Meijer this week.
Fourth: Scott 1000 Bathroom Tissue
Good
Meijer, 24 pk
On Sale $15.99
Use $1 off one 8pk or higher from Smart Source
Total: $14.99
Better:
CVS

As listed above with the Cottonelle tissue, CVS is having a deal where you earn a CVS $10 Cash Card if you spend $30. Let's say you buy 4 Scott-1000 12 pks for $29.96 plus one of the other items--such as the $1.33 Coke 2-Liter. You could buy any of the other selected items, but for this example, I'm throwing in the Coke. Then:
BEST
CVS
Buy $30 worth of selected items (in this case, 4 Scott tissue + Coke 2L example)
4 X $7.49
Use $1 off Scott tissue coupon from Smart Source
Buy $1.33 bottle of Coke
Earn $10 CVS Cash Card
Total: $18.96 for 4 Scott 12 pks or $4.74 per (+ the $1.33 bottle of Coke or whatever you use to get your total to $30)
Fifth: Coca Cola 12-pk cans
Good
Meijer
$4 per
Better
CVS
Sale $2.50 per
(Possibly) BEST:
CVS
On Sale $2.50 per
The difference between the CVS and Walgreen's deals is that at CVS, the 12 packs are marked for the Spend $30, Get $10 CVS Cash Back deal. There is a limit of 4 on the Coke $12 packs, taking your total to $10, so as long as you spend $20 on some of the other selected merchandise, you're coming out quite a bit cheaper at CVS.
Sixth: Folger's Coffee
The sales on Folger's Coffee aren't phenomenal this week. Additionally, there are no coupons available on the coffee either. However, if you are short on coffee and need to pick up Folger's:
Good
Walgreen's
Folgers Coffee, Black Silk (10.3
oz) or Classic Roast (11.3 oz)
On sale for $3.99
Coupons no longer available (Red Plum Coupon expired Sunday)
Better
CVS
Folger's Coffee 27.8 - 33.9 oz or
