Money Saving Monday 8/3/14: This Week's Deals and Linked Printable Coupons


Holy matrimony! Do I have a ton of deals for this week. Last week was particularly awesome, but I was on vacation so I didn't get to blog about it. Thank goodness I could make a come back with Rite Aid this week. Rite Aid is having their Eye Extravaganza the entire month of August. If you remember, they had their Lip Extravaganza back in June and I robbed the Revlon section of every Rite Aid between here and the Mason Dixon line with my awesome coupons. Walgreens is merely tolerable with their deals. They are always one step behind Rite Aid, in my opinion and the perks of buying there pale in comparison to what I can get across the street. As always, remember that you have to have a Rite Aid/Walgreens card to use at each respective store, and always print two copies of each coupon that I link, with the exception of the Rite Aid Ad Perk coupons which can only be printed once per account. You may notice at the top of the page that there is now a direct link to www.Coupons.com, so you can access many other great coupons through their site. Also, at the very bottom of the home page, there is a complete coupon center you can clip coupons from without ever having to leave Beauty on a Budget. I know that has to be much more convenient for the lazy folks out there (like me;). Let's get started!

RITE AID
The deal with the Eye Extravaganza is if you spend $30 on eye products or lashes, you will earn $10 back in Up Rewards to use exactly 24 hours later. The good thing about this deal is that most of the lines (or at least the ones I am going to link coupons to) are already on sale, meaning that you too can rob Rite Aid of their products and giggle your way out of the store. First thing we need to do is head over to Rite Aid's website and print some of those Ad Perk coupons. The catch with these is that you have to watch a commercial to get the coupon at the end. Hit play on the commercial and go on with your bad self while it plays and reap the rewards when it is finished! 

August 2014 Ad Perk Coupons (Click the link to print your copy)
-L'Oreal BOGO 50% off plus $5 back in Up Rewards when you spend $20
You all know how much I freaking love L'Oreal (even though they test on animals which I hate), but there are some awesome Ad Perks to work with this sale. Look above, you will see that there are two ad perk coupons for L'Oreal. Both are high value store coupons for $2. One is for eye liners, one is for mascara. Did you see the magical words I put in there for you? STORE COUPONS. That means we can stack some manufacturer coupons with those mofos! Click HERE to go to L'Oreal's website to print a $1 off any L'Oreal Product coupon. You can print this coupon twice, so you will have one to use on both an eyeliner and on a mascara with the two ad perk coupons. Also, these are buy one, get one 50% off. Let's do a little scenario and let me blow yo' mind:

Eyeliner: $8.99 (full price)
Mascara: $4.50 (50% off with the weekly sale)
     Less $2 ad perk coupon for eyeliner
     Less $2 ad perk coupon for mascara
     Less $1 manufacturer coupon from L'Oreal (on eyeliner)
     Less $1 manufacturer coupon from L'Oreal (on mascara) 
Total: $7.49 plus tax after sales/coupons. 
Keep in mind, this purchase would have been $17.99  plus tax if you paid full price for both products. Working this deal essentially gets you both products for less than the price of just one of them, and all it takes is a few clicks of your mouse to save you over 10 bucks.  Not only will this purchase apply to the $30 for $10 in Up Rewards for the Eye Extravaganza deal, but it will also apply to the $5 in Up Rewards when you spend $20 on L'Oreal deal. If you picked something pricier from the line, you may even hit the $20 mark for the $5 back. Rite Aid should just go ahead and make me part owner of a store because I'm about to take all of their products. Tell Jim Bob to bring the pick up truck, Mama is gonna need it! 

-Almay, Revlon, and Cover Girl BOGO 50% off 
Sadly there are no Up Rewards for this deal, but there are ad perks! There is an ad perk for $2 off of an Almay eye product. I couldn't find a manufacturer coupon online for this deal, but I hear that they frequent the Sunday paper, if you're one of 'those' couponers. I would rather sleep than to get up at 8am for a paper, but you do you, boo. 

Revlon has the high dollar ad perk for $3 off of a $5  eye product purchase, in addition to already being 50% off. Click HERE to get a coupon for $2 off of any Age Defying product (not just eye products). You could use both of these coupons and still get a good deal because of the already discounted price fro the BOGO 50% off. 

Cover Girl has an ad perk for $1 off of an eye liner or a mascara. What cheapskates, if you ask me. Anyway, click HERE for a $2 off coupon on an Outlast lip product. You could grab a lipstick and a mascara, use these coupons and get a fair price because of the BOGO 50% off deal. If I had to pick one of these deals to work, it would be the L'Oreal one. That deal is the filet mignon of makeup couponing. 

-Maybelline is on sale at 25% off
I don't know about you guys, but I can never find any online coupons for Maybelline. It's like they hide them next to the Holy Grail and Indiana Jones is your only chance of finding them. As you know, they do have the ad perk coupon for $2 off of 2 eye products. Ehh, I guess that is better than nothing. The 25% off applies for the entire line. You should pick up a couple of their Color Tattoos cream eye shadows if you haven't already. These retail for like $6.99 at my local Rite Aid. With both the 25% off and the ad perk coupon, you could some of the Color Tattoos for $4.24 each, when you buy two. That's a pretty good deal when you consider that Mac paint pots are around $18, and even at the Cosmetics Outlet, the paint pots are still about $12 a pop. Not too shabby of a price for a solid product that anyone can use and that everyone should use. 

Bonne Bell, Jessie's Girl, Julie G-- $6 Up when you spend $12
Dude, have you tried Julie G nail polish? I went to a different Rite Aid today than I normally do and I literally stopped dead in my tracks when I saw the colors in her line. If you don't know, Julie G is a Youtube girl who has teamed up with Jesse's Girl and launched a nail polish line. These are the best polishes I have ever used. The colors are all so unique and so intensely pigmented.  I would rate them above Essie, Butter London, or Even Deborah Lipmann polishes. The best price is that they are only $3.99 a bottle. Of course, I would never pay full price for something from the drug store, but I spent almost $30 on polishes today to get the $12 back in Up rewards, and I got a $3 off store coupon for my next purchase over $30 at Rite aid. With all of the Up Rewards and my $3 off coupon I received, I virtually got 7 nail polishes for $12.93 plus tax, which is only $1.84 a bottle. I'll do a review with swatches on my new nail polishes soon!

I did pick up a lip gloss from Jessie's Girl. It is one of the Glow Stick ones that changes colors in the tube. The one I got goes between pink, purple, blue, and gold. On the lip, it only looks gold. I guess that's a good thing. I might look a little like a space hooker if I was walking around with multi colored lips, but you know me-- I'm borderline tacky and I love it!

As far as Bonne Bell, I'm not a 6th grader anymore so I don't wear it. If you have a 6th grader at home, get that brat some Bonne Bell! 

If you need some nail polish remover to get rid of all the swatches you did on your nails while you were in the store, Cutex is BOGO free this week. 

-Deodorant- A back to school necessity 
If you're a teacher, you should work these deals and keep a basket full of deodorant for your smelly high school classes. Both Arrid and Arm and Hammer deodorant are on sale this week for only 99 cents a piece, no coupon required.  Right Guard, Dry Idea, and Dial Acne Care soap are also all BOGO free this week, as well.

While we are on the topic of soap,  Tone and Dial bars of soap are on deal for 2/$4. Click HERE for a coupon that will get you $1 off of two boxes of Dial soap. Caress is about like Maybelline. There are never any online coupons and I love it so much! Anyway, Caress body wash is on sale for $2.99 this week. I recommend Passionate Spell and Evenly Gorgeous. They have some fruitier scents, but I don't think they smell that great. Trust me with my two suggestions for scents. You won't be sorry. 

-Select Schick Razors- Receive $5 in Up Rewards when you spend $15
I freaking love Schick razors. I refuse to buy cheap razors because I would rather not slice my legs to bits while I'm trying to do my annual shaving. Click HERE for a bajillion high dollar coupons. Most are for like $3 off a pack of disposable razors. I used to use the razors with the replaceable heads, but those are super expensive and then I started couponing and now I use the disposable ones instead. I rarely find coupons for anything other than disposables, and when I get them for like a buck fifty a piece, I can't really complain. 

A couple of random deals you might interested in are as follows:
-Lysol Cleaning Solution is on sale at 2/$5
-Lysol disinfecting spray and Woolite detergent are on deal at +$7 Up when you spend $20 on these products.
-Rite Aid Brand cotton products (cotton balls, cotton pads, all cotton errthang) and nail polish remover are on deal at BOGO free
Pepsi and Diet Pepsi (first person to comment that soda is bad and I shouldn't include it in my weekly round up is getting a swift roundhouse kick to the face, Chuck Norris Style) are on sale at 3 cartons for $10.98, +$3 Up Rewards with this purchase, making it only $2.66 a carton.

WALGREENS
Face it, Walgreens sucks more often than not, so they get no extra effort in their deals. Here is a quick breakdown of the few things they are advertising this week.

-Kool Aid, Crystal Light, or Mio liquid drink mix- pay $3, get +$3 back in Register Rewards instantly, making this a free purchases.
-Glade products are on deal at 2/$5.50,  with +$1.50 RR instantly, making these on sale for 2/$4.
-Crest or Oral B White Dental Care- 2/$6 with $4 RR back instantly, making this deal 2/$2. 

And there you have it! Some of the best deals at the drug store this week. If you know of any good coupons or deals I missed, be sure and let me know. Also, if you do a large shopping trip and haul a lot of goodies, be sure and send me pics. I love hearing from readers!
