Toy Story 1 & 2 DVD/Blu-ray Deal: Target or Toys R Us

So, I read about a great deal for the new Toy Story 1 and Toy Story 2 DVD/Blu-Ray combo pack. It works...just got ours!!

So heres the deal from Hip2Save.com

Go to Disney Movie Rewards and login or register for an account. After this, enter the code 786936294507 in the orange box where it says "Enter Code." A link will appear that will allow you to print a coupon valid for $10 off Toy Story 1 DVD/Blu-ray combo pack. Then enter the code: 786936294521 and print a coupon valid for $10 off Toy Story 2 DVD/Blu-ray combo pack.

Then, you can go to Toys R Us where they are having a sale on Toy story...if you buy both 1 and 2, you get them for $16.99/each and then you can use your 2-$10 coupons to get them for $6.99/each. Inside each DVD is a code to get a free movie ticket to go see Toy Story 3 when it comes out this summer (an $8.50 value)...so if you use the movie ticket, you basically get the 2 DVDs and 2 movie tickets for $5.48 + tax...NICE!!!

Not mentioning why...I will never shop at Toys R Us or Babies R Us again...so I spent $2 more and went to Target where they have the same DVDs on sale for $22.99 each and then if you buy both, you get $10 off. So it works out to be $17.99/DVD and then use the two coupons from above and you score both DVDs for $7.99/each + the 2 free movie tickets. If you have Toys R Us' ad, you can take it with you to Target to have them price match the deal to save the $2. You have to have the actual ad though...they will not accept a printed version.

If you want a complete rundown of the deal, check it out here.

Walgreen's Blue Bell Deal

Walgreens (at least the one on Hwy 29 in Georgetown) has their Blue Bell Ice Cream for $4/half gallon. Use the coupons from here and get a half gallon of Blue Bell for $3!!! I don't know if this is a city-wide/state-wide sale, so you might call your local Walgreens to double check before venturing over there.

JoAnn's Friends & Family Coupon: 20% off total purchase

This weekend is JoAnn's Friends and Family Sale. They have a rare 20% off your total purchase Friday, March 26-Sunday, March 28. Go here to print them out.

Pampers: Diaper Deal at CVS

CVS has their pampers jumbo packs (easy ups included) on sale for $8.97 (about the same price as buying them at Target)...but they have a $3 extra bucks reward with them, so it's like getting it for $5.97. Use some of your coupons too if you have some. There were a few in the newspaper 2 weeks ago. I'll see if I can find any prinatble Pampers coupons.

Also if you've been shopping at CVS in the last couple months and racked up some good old double extra bucks, you should be seeing those soon!

UPDATE: CVS Deals

If you have an extra care card, here are a couple deals I'm going to try to snag (i'll let you know how it goes):
Make sure you register your extra care card for double bucks by going here.

Duracell AA 10 pack batteries: On Sale for $5.97 + $1 ExtraBuck + $1/1 coupon = $3.97

I just got back and I purchased all 3 items above. I saved $4.02 in on sale savings and $12.50 in coupons. I spent $45.95 and got back $11 extra care bucks and then at the beginning of april, i will get another $11 extra care bucks for the double rewards going on until march 15 -- so it'll come to $23.95 after all that.
