Profit All Around!

All weekend, I have been bidding on some kick-ass Smirnoff rebates ($20 off $20.01 of any groceries) on ebay. I lost three auctions (bummer) but just found two second chance offers in my inbox from the seller. Two rebates are now headed my way! I also found TMF rebates for Babybel cheese and $5 off $5.01 of groceries.

Walgreens - did this transaction twice

• Ecotrin Low Strength Tablets (45 ct) $2, used $2 coupon (5/16 RP) and got back $2 RR = $2 profit
• Cortaid Max Strength Anti-Itch Cream (0.5 oz) $3, used $1 coupon (3/14 RP *Exp 5/31 or 4/25 SS) and got $3 rebate (Limit 1, prints at register) = $1 profit
• Total was $2 - paid with gift card

Then at another store, I bought:

• Ecotrin Low Strength Tablets (45 ct) $2, used $2 coupon (5/16 RP) and got back $2 RR = $2 profit
• 4 Reese's Pieces candies $2.50 each, used two FREE coupons (from previous rebate) and two $1 coupons (4/18 SS) and got back $5 RR (WYB $10) = $2 profit
• Cortaid Max Strength Anti-Itch Cream (0.5 oz) $3, used $1 coupon (3/14 RP *Exp 5/31 or 4/25 SS) and got $3 rebate (Limit 1, prints at register) = $1 profit
• U by Kotex $3.49, used $1 coupon (or 4/18 SS *Expires 5/30) and got back $2.50 RR = FREE/$0.01 profit
• $15 Walgreens gift card
• Red Baron pizza $3
• 2 Royal Gelatins $0.20 each
• Used three $8 RR's, total was $2.59

Tried to buy three cases of Diet Coke and use three FREE coupons from My Coke Rewards. The coupons beeped and the cashier couldn't get them to go through. The manager came over and said they couldn't accept them because there have been too many fraudulent free Coke coupons floating around and Walgreens corporate has said no-way-Jose to them. I was really bummed because my coupons are legit. The last time I tried to use these same coupons at CVS, they beep and come up as not matching any items. I think they are coded incorrectly because I always have issues using them. I'm not sure who to complain to - Walgreens or Coke! I'm going to try again tomorrow at a super friendly store and we'll see what happens.

CVS

• Ban Invisible Solid (2.6 oz) $2.99, used $1 coupon (4/18 SS) and got back $2 EB (Limit 1) = FREE/$0.01 profit
• Milk $1.99
• Used $2 EB and $2 EB, total was $0.19
