Walgreens Gluco-Shot, 2 oz, up to $1.99.

Walgreens: May/June overlap deals

The following deals are only valid on Friday and Saturday, May 30 and 31. If your store doesn't have the June EasySaver booklets displayed, print your coupons from the PDF version on the Walgreens website. Don't forget to use the $10/30 coupon for your deals on Friday!

Hawaiian Tropic products: B1G1 50%; use $2 May IVC and $2 June IVC. Some have also found $2 manufacturer's coupons at Kmart, further reducing OOP expenses. Some Hawaiian Tropic products are reportedly marked down by 75% in select stores. If that's the case at your store, this could be a moneymaker.

Schick Quattro Titanium Razor or Trimmer: (some have reported that these are on sale for $9.49, which would make it possible to get a bit of overage) use $3 May IVC, $4 June IVC, and $3 manufacturer's coupon from 5/18 paper insert.

Edge Shave Gel, 7 oz
: Use $1 May IVC and $1 June IVC.

There aren't too many deals in this week's ad, but the June EasySaver period begins on Friday (the EasySaver booklet is available here), so you can start picking up June rebate items. There are also a few overlapping May/June deals, which I plan to post about later today. And don't forget to grab any remaining May rebate items you're lacking. (If you use online rebate submission, it shouldn't be a problem to have May and June items on the same receipt.)

Make-it-Yourself Monday: Strawberry Shortcake


Strawberries are in season and it's a great time to try new recipes. Following is a strawberry shortcake recipe I love--I've had it for quite some time, but just now rediscovered where I picked it up: Tammy's Recipes. For the original recipe and lots of other amazing treats, check out Tammy's website.

Whole-Wheat Strawberry Shortcake

4 eggs, separated
3/4 cup sugar, divided
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup oil
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pound (about 2 cups) fresh strawberries, washed and sliced
1 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1. In a large bowl with electric mixer at high speed, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Continue beating at high speed and add 1/4 cup sugar, about 2 tablespoonfuls at a time. Beat well after each addition, until sugar is completely dissolved and egg whites stand in stiff peaks.

2. In another mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the egg yolks, flour, water, oil, baking powder, vanilla, and 1/2 cup of sugar. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the flour mixture into the beaten egg whites until completely blended. Pour batter into a greased and floured 9-inch springform pan or two smaller round cake pans.

3. Bake cake at 325 degrees for about 40 minutes or until the top of the cake springs back when lightly touched with finger and cake tests done. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before removing from pan. The cake will sink slightly as it cools.

4. Beat whipping cream in a chilled bowl on high until soft peaks form. Add a tablespoon of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and continue beating until cream is stiff.

5. To serve, spread the whipped cream over the cake. Top with strawberries. Cut into slices and serve! Or, cut into slices and top each slice with whipped cream and strawberries just before serving.
