This was an all-about-rebates kinda weekend! Here we go:
Walgreens - Saturday

And here's what I got at Rite Aid. This one's a little confusing so I'm listing it separately from everything above:

  • 6 Bic markers 3 for $0.99, used three $1 off 2 coupons (8/3 or 8/10 SS) = $1.02 profit
  • Pantene Expressions shampoo $4.99, used $1 in-circular coupon and $2 coupon (8/31 P&G) and will get back $1.99 (SCR #31) = FREE
  • Pantene Expressions conditioner $4.99, used $1 in-circular coupon and $2 coupon (8/31 P&G) = $1.99
  • Pantene styler $3.50, used freebie coupon (8/31 P&G) = FREE
  • 3 Crest Pro Health rinses $4.99 each, used $1 coupon (8/31 P&G) and will get back $10 SCR #602 = $1.97 after rebate
  • Oral B Advantage toothbrush $2.99, used $1 coupon (8/3 P&G) and will get back $2 SCR #86 = FREE
  • Crest toothpaste $2.49, used $1 coupon (8/3 P&G) and will get back $1.74 SCR #2 = $0.25 profit
  • Total was $20.93 and I'll get back $15.73 in rebates

Now here comes the fun part! In addition to the individual rebates I listed above, these items all count towards other September rebates as well! All of the items above (except for the Bic markers, these were just freebies for the week) are P&G items and therefore qualify for SCR #75 (spend $30 of P&G products, get a $10 Rite Aid gift card). My total of P&G products equals $33.93 so I'll get this $10 gift card.

Also, the Pantenes qualify for SCR #24 (get a Modella cosmetic bag plus $25 in coupons when you purchase $25 of hair care/skincare/cosmetic items). I had planned on buying the Loreal Anti-Wrinkle concentrate at $14.99 (use $3 coupon and $3 coupon 7/20 SS) - but I couldn't find it in the two stores we went to. I'm going to do some hunting tomorrow to find it. Then I'll get back $14.99 for the Loreal (SCR #21 = $6 profit) and will round out SCR #24.

AND, I'm going to also submit all these receipts (once I get my RA check) here for a $20 ebags gift certificate! So, after I buy the Loreal, I'll have spent $29.92 and I'll be getting back $25.73 in rebates PLUS the Modella bag PLUS the $20 ebags gift certificate! That's what I call a moneymaker!!
