Keep Your Eyes Peeled

Be on the lookout for these Biore cleansers, specifically the back of the bottles. If you're lucky, you might be able to find peelie coupons for a $15 prepaid card if you complete a survey online about the cleanser.
Rite Aid - big thanks to Wild for Wags (although I haven't been able to find any at WAG's) for the head's up on the Biore - what a great deal!
  • Physician's Formula Shimmer Strips Mascara $10.95, used $5 RA coupon (printable that was emailed out) and $5 peelie coupon and will submit for TMF rebate (have to include TMF sticker from package) = $10 profit
  • Biore Steam Activated Cleanser $7.49, will submit for $15 prepaid card (via survey info found on peelie) = $7.51 profit
  • 2 Diet Cokes (one regular, one caffeine free) $1.69 each, will get back $1.69 (SCR #125) = $1.69
  • Used $5 off $20 coupon, total was $7.00, overall profit = $20.64

I also picked up two rainchecks for three Huggies at $8.99 each. Starting Sunday, RA is introducing a new program called +UP Rewards. Its kind of like CVS - RA money will print at the bottom of your receipt when you buy qualifying items. There's an +UP Rewards deal on Huggies through 6/12. When you buy three Huggies, you get back $11.99 in rewards. With the $8.99 raincheck price, they'll be FREE! Here's the math: three at $8.99 each, $5 off $20 coupon, three $3 coupons and three $1 RA coupon = $9.97 and get back $11.97 rewards = $2 profit. If the store won't allow me to use three VV coupons at once, I'll just use one and pay $11.97 - so FREE! The $8.99 price is only for this week and the +UP Rewards program doesn't go national until Sunday, so if you want to do this deal, be sure to get a raincheck for at least three. The stores I went to weren't wiped clean of Huggies, so I said that they were out of the size I needed and I didn't have any problems getting rainchecks.

CVS

  • Biore Steam Activated Cleanser $7.99 and Biore Facial Wipes $7.99, used $2 off 2 peelie coupon, got back $3 EB (WYB $10, monthly deal I think? Limit definitely more than one) and will submit for $15 prepaid card (via survey info found on peelie on cleanser) = $4.02 profit
  • 3 Power Bars $0.99 each, got back $2.97 EB ($0.99 EB for each, monthly deal, Limit 3) = FREE
  • Dove candy bar clearanced to $0.44 - looong gone
  • Used $4 off $20 coupon, $1 EB, $1 EB, $4 EB and $7 EB, total was $1.24

Target

  • 4 Right Guard deodorants (travel size) $0.97 each, used two $3 off 2 coupon = $2.12 profit
  • 3 Olay Toners $2.99 each and 3 Olay Regenerist Cleansing Wipes $5.99 each, used three $1 coupons (5/16 SS) and three $5 coupons (P&G home mailer) and got back a $5 Target gift card for every two that I bought = $6.06 profit
  • Total was $6.87, paid with gift cards

Now have enough Olay purchases to finish out my third $12 rebate.

I've been on the lookout for clearanced Listerine, but haven't had any luck. I figured I'd just buy the cheapest I could find:

  • 2 Listerine Whitening (bought separately) $5.34, used $2 coupon = $3.34 - paid with gift card
  • Will submit for $10 rebate on each

ShopRite

  • 4 Chore Boy Sponges $1.34 each, used four $0.55 coupons = $0.24 each
  • Total was $1.13 after $0.05 bag discount

Thanks for the Huggies raincheck idea. I got 2 rainchecks for 3 huggies each. I REALLY hope this works. I'm worried the +Up reward will change to a much smaller amount now that the program is national... But it's worth a try!

I couldn't find any clearance listerine yesterday either! BUt I saw tons of it at my Target earlier in the week. I didn't have my coupon with me at the time so I waited. I think it's impossible that it was all purchased - not a lot of couponers in my area. I asked someone who works there if it could have been moved but she wasn't helpful. :(

Does anyone have any extra of the Biore survey coupons? I have looked at tons of stores and they are no where to be found. Would love to have one though.

Jean,
I haven't seen any on ebay.
