It may be the start of a holiday week, but there are still plenty of deals at the drugstores and Kroger -- some of them stellar.
Here are the highlights:
At CVS, the free gas card promotion is back and if you've got a baby in the house you can use the $3 Pampers coupon to work that deal. You can also score 79-cent Coke brand 2-liters. A terrific price.
At Rite Aid, pick up Crest toothpaste for 24 cents, Dawn dish liquid for 70 cents and store-brand cleaning products for just 99 cents. There's also a great deal on Kellogg's cereal bars for $1.25 each and Breyers ice cream for just $2.
At Walgreens, Mitchum deodorants are FREE and Butterball turkey bacon is just 44 cents! Milk is $2.99 per gallon and eggs are 99 cents a dozen. Also take note of the $25 prescription transfer coupon and the bonus for AARP members.
And at Kroger, the meat and produce deals are worth checking out. I especially like the price of sweet corn -- just 25 cents an ear for the second week in a row. It's also the second week of the Mega Event and 10 for $10 sale.
Read on for all the very best deals. And please chime in with any good deals you find.
