This week Dillons has Colgate toothpaste and toothbrushes on sale 10/$10 as well as many shampoo and deodorant products. See coupon match ups below pick some out while you're out this week.

Also keep in mind our missionary family is looking for 3T, 4T and 5T clothing for their daughter as well. I know I'm not the only couponer whose deal seeking doesn't just stop at the grocery store. Keep your eyes open as your out and about at garage sales. Also, don't be fooled, Zambia has cool weather and even warmer clothing will probably be useful.

Collecting For Zambia - A Way To Give

A list of basic necessities for a missionary family heading to the field brings excitement and joy to a fellow couponer and myself during Sunday service. This is what couponing all comes down to for me. I remember similar situations in the past where I wished I could give more while bought a couple items. Now my first thought was: "I wonder how much toothpaste they can actually carry over with them?" I'm know I'm not the only one who was questioning this! Can I challenge all of you to join me in blessing this family BEYOND their expectations!

We have till June 28 to overflow their cup. During that time I will be posting specific posts entitled "Collecting For Zambia" that will alert you to deals that are specific to the needs listed on the insert. Leave a bag in your trunk or by the garage door that you can fill and refill with items to bring to the donation box at church (we know how easily good intentions can be foiled by an urgent hunt for missing shoes on a Sunday morning).

Let's start with a bang! Walgreens put out a $5 off $25 purchase coupon for Wed and Thurs. Common Sense With Money has a great scenario to get nearly $60 worth of items FREE in her post here! Many of these items are on the list: toothpaste, shaving cream, insect repellent. There is even a Benefiber drink mix that I wonder if they could use?

Another opportunity to stock up for very little for Operation Christmas Child. Dillons has a clearance on their Activity/Coloring books for $.50 each! This is a great deal for a really nice coloring book and a great addition for any child's box. Look for them in the clearance area the next time you're there.

Here's a great opportunity to give while saving!

Walgreens will give you a $3.50 RR when you buy Colgate Total toothpaste for $3.49. Walgreens will also give you a $2 RR when you buy Natural Chapstick brand chapstick for $1.99. That makes for free toothpaste and chapstick! These would be a great items to add to your Operation Christmas Child boxes or to give to a Men's/Women's shelter. Grab each one each time you hit Walgreens this month.

This month's deal of free toothpaste and chapstick are a great deal to match up with other things your already using cash to buy. Early this month I went in to buy pull-ups that were a great deal. I did two separate transactions that included one chapstick and toothpaste each. That left me with $11 in RR. I then did my third transaction where I used my RRs to pay for my pull-ups. I'll being doing this again when I go in this week to buy some children's meds. First I'll purchase the chapstick and toothpaste, then use the RR to purchase the meds.
