Reach & Razors

EDIT - ugh, this picture came out not so great, huh? Its so gold! I forgot to turn on the flash and the picture looked ok on the camera display so I put everything away. Then when I looked at the pic on the computer, it wasn't so nice but I didn't feel like pulling all that stuff out again. Oh well, I'm learning!

Rite Aid

  • Gilette Fusion or Fusion Power Razor $9.00, used $4 coupon (11/30 P&G) and will get back $5 SCR (Dec #8) = FREE

RA Gift of Savings Progress: $43.94 in my name - up to $5 reward, $34.94 in DBF's name - up to $5 reward

CVS

  • Gillette Fusion Razor Bonus pack (includes shaving cream, extra razor cartridge and shower gel) $9.99, used $4 coupon (11/30 P&G) = $5.99
  • Gilette Fusion Razor Cartridges $13.99 - got back $5 ECB for spending $15 on Gillette products (Limit 1) - there are probably cheaper ways to do this deal but DBF was getting low on razors so I wanted this kind specifically. I have ECB's from Black Friday to burn anyway, so I might as well stock up. I'd rather spend ECB's than real money any day!
  • Used $1 ECB, $5.99 ECB and $11.98 ECB, total was $1.36

Walgreens - Round One

  • 2 Reach Ultra Clean toothbrushes $3 each, used BOGO coupon (10/12 RP) and got back $6 RR (only when you buy 2) = $3 profit
  • Colgate Total toothpaste (6 oz) $2.99, used $1 coupon (11/16 SS) and got back $2 RR = FREE
  • WAG tissues $1
  • Used $6 RR, total was $0.63

Round Two - same store, different time - wised up and used a better Colgate coupon

  • 2 Reach Ultra Clean flosses $3 each, used two $1 coupons (10/12 RP) and got back $6 RR (only when you buy 2) = $2 profit
  • Colgate Total toothpaste (6 oz) $2.99, used $1.50 coupon and got back $2 RR = $0.50 profit
  • WAG tissues $1
  • Christmas present for my sister $25
  • Used $5 off $25 coupon (good today and tomorrow only 12/1 & 12/2), $6 RR, total was $22.51

Round Three - different store

  • 2 Reach Ultra Clean toothbrushes $3 each, used BOGO coupon (10/12 RP) and got back $6 RR (only when you buy 2) = $3 profit
  • Colgate Total toothpaste (6 oz) $2.99, used $1.50 coupon and got back $2 RR = $0.50 profit
  • 2 bags M&M's $1 - sale price from a couple weeks back that was still marked - cashier adjusted these down for me, these were a filler so I could use a RR. I'm sure I could've found something cheaper to buy, but I just didn't feel like it. So there! lol
  • Used $2 RR, total was $4.19

Round Four - store #1, later in the day

  • 2 Reach Ultra Clean flosses $3 each, used two $1 coupons (10/12 RP) and got back $6 RR (only when you buy 2) = $2 profit

  • Total was $6.12

I thought the colgate max fresh was the only toothpaste on sale this week where you get the RR's but it worked ok with the colgate total advanced?

Stephanie,
Yup, its the Colgate Max or Total Advanced 6 oz. bottles. I didn't have any problems.

Thanks I will have to get some more cause I have coupons for the colgate total advanced not the max fresh.
