Converting RR's to Rebate Money

A big, big thanks to pubbler for posting about the Olay deal and getting my mind churning with ideas. Today didn't go quite as planned because most stores didn't have the cleansing cloths I wanted, so I had to improvise. My math was off a couple times too so I wasn't able to use as many RR's as I wanted.

Walgreens - I've been waiting until today to use up a bunch of RR's so I could combine them with the 15% friends and family discount. Here's what I did:

Transaction One

• Gillette Fusion Razor $8.99 (reg price) $7.64 (15% off price), used $4 coupon (11/29 P&G) and got back $4 RR = $0.36 profit
• Olay Regenerist Face Wash $7.29 (reg price) $6.20 (15% off price), used $3 coupon (11/29 P&G) = $3.20
• 4 Geisha mushrooms $1.19 each (reg price) $0.85 each (15% off price) - used in-circular coupon which should have made these $0.39 each but it only deducted $1.04 off the total, making them $0.59 each - isn't that weird?
• Used 15% discount, $2 RR, $2 RR and $5 RR, total was $0.82

Transaction Two

• Gillette Fusion Razor $8.99 (reg price) $7.64 (15% off price), used $4 coupon (11/29 P&G) and got back $4 RR = $0.36 profit
• Olay Total Effects face wash $9.99 (reg price) $8.49 (15% off price), used $3 coupon (11/29 P&G) = $5.49 *The coupon is for the Regenerist products only. I totally forgot this because I was looking for something for around $10. The coupon didn't beep, but YMMV.
• 2 Geisha mushrooms $1.19 each (reg price) $0.85 each (15% off price), used in-circular coupon which took off $1.04 (again), so $0.42 each
• 2 Votive candles $0.42 (15% off price), used in-circular coupon = $0.14
• Used 15% discount, $2 RR, $2 RR and $5 RR, total was $1.72

Transaction Three

• 2 Olay Regenerist Face washes $7.29 each (reg price) $6.20 each (15% off price), used two $3 coupons (11/29 P&G) = $3.20 each
• Used 15% discount and $5 RR (forgot to get a filler but apparently I didn't even need it!), total was $1.92

Transaction Four

• Olay Regenerist Cleansing Cloths $10.59 (reg price) $8.92 (15% off price), used $3 coupon (11/29 P&G) = $5.92
• 3 bottles 7Up $1.99 each (reg price) $1.69 each (15% off price), used in-circular coupon = $0.85 each
• Used 15% discount and $7 RR, total was $2.27

Transaction Five

• Olay Regenerist Cleansing Cloths $10.59 (reg price) $8.92 (15% off price), used $3 coupon (11/29 P&G) = $5.92
• 2 Votive candles $0.42 each (15% off price), used in-circular coupon = $0.14 each
• Used 15% discount and $5 RR, total was $1.50

I will send away for the $20 Olay rebate (WYB $50 worth of facial moisturizers, cleansers or treatments, exp. 12/27/09). I was planning on buying the cleansing cloths, but since most stores didn't have them, I had to buy other items and I'm a smidge short of the $50 mark ($44.93). I didn't have any more coupons with me when I was out, so I'm going to buy one last face wash later today.

Best Buy - picked up The Hangover using a $25 gift card I bought a while ago.

Rite Aid - found a store with 4 more Prell! Now I can finish out my SCR's on both accounts.

• 2 Prell shampoos $0.99 each (13.5 oz), will get back $2 for each (SCR #100, Limit 5) = $1.01 profit on each, $2.02 profit overall
