Brain Fart

Rite Aid - don't ask me why I bought two toothpastes on each transaction! I must be in CVS mode. I'll probably return the duplicates. Duh!
  • Zegerid OTC Caplets (14 ct) $11.99, used $4 coupon (6/20 SS), $3 RA coupon (page 7), will get back $2 (SCR #35) and I'll submit for TMF rebate (6/20 SS) = $9 profit *Circular coupon available in some areas. Satisfaction guarantee available here. The rebate form says you'll get back your purchase price minus coupons, so you may be better off with the guarantee.
  • Motrin PM (20 ct) $3, used $3 coupon (4/18 RP) and got back $3 +UP Rewards = $3 profit
  • 2 Colgate Total Toothpastes (4 oz) $2.99 each, used two $1 coupons (6/6 SS) and got back $2 +UP Rewards = $1.98 but should have been FREE/$0.01 profit if I'd only bought one
  • 2 U by Kotex $3.50 each, used two $1 coupons, two $1 RA coupons and will get back $3 (SCR #11, WYB 2) = FREE
  • Bounty Basic Paper Towels $0.99, used $1 coupon (P&G home mailer coupon booklet) = FREE/$0.01 profit
  • Used $5 off $20 coupon and two $3 UP rewards, total was $1.03

At another store I bought a second set of items for DBF's rebates. I'm 99% sure the Pantene rebate won't go through, but I thought I'd give it a try. Some folks have received emails inviting them to participate in a $3 rebate for Pantene. I didn't get the email, but thought it was worth a shot. After the overage from the Everlast, they were free anyway.

  • Zegerid OTC Caplets (14 ct) $11.99, used $4 coupon (6/20 SS), $3 RA coupon (page 7), will get back $2 (SCR #35) and I'll submit for TMF rebate (6/20 SS) = $9 profit
