Hodgepodge of Freebies

CVS - newer card
  • 4 Air Wick Freshmatic Compact Imotion Kits $5 each, used four $4 coupons (3/20 SS) and got back $10 EB (WYB $20, Limit 1) = $6 profit
  • Sun/Mon/Tues ONLY: Russell Stover Single Egg (1 oz) $0.74, got back $0.74 EB (Limit 1) = FREE
  • Sun/Mon/Tues ONLY: Super Miracle Bubbles (16 oz) $1.99, got back $1.99 EB (Limit 1) = FREE (Shadow goes nuts for bubbles - do your dogs love them too?)
  • Second Russell Stover egg $0.74 - bought this as a filler so I could use my EB
  • Used $6.99 EB, total was $2.12
Then at another store and on my older card, I got:
  • 4 Air Wick Freshmatic Compact Imotion Kits $5 each, used four $4 coupons (3/20 SS) and got back $10 EB (WYB $20, Limit 1) = $6 profit
  • Sun/Mon/Tues ONLY: Russell Stover Single Egg (1 oz) $0.74, got back $0.74 EB (Limit 1) = FREE
  • Sun/Mon/Tues ONLY: Super Miracle Bubbles (16 oz) $1.99, got back $1.99 EB (Limit 1) = FREE
  • Essence of Beauty Hand Soap $4.29, used FREE coupon (valid up to $3.99) = $0.30
  • Used $2.50 EB and $3 EB, total was $3.14
I didn't find all these Air Wicks at each store. That's one of my favorite things about CVS - you can buy a little here, a little there. I combined everything for simplicity's sake here.

Walgreens - bought the Gatorade hoping to get a code for a $5 survey that I'd read about on Slick Deals. No dice!
  • Gatorade Series Fit - Gatorade Prime $1.50, Gatorade Perform $1.00 and Gatorade Recover $2.50, will submit for $5 rebate (form prints at register, must buy all three in a single transaction) = FREE
  • Used two $1 RR's and $3 RR, total was $0.25
Separately, I bought three more Carefree -
  • Carefree Pantiliners $0.99, used $0.50 coupon (3/27 RP) and got back $0.99 RR = $0.50 profit
Rite Aid
  • John Frieda Full Repair Shampoo and FR Conditioner ($5 each) and FR Flyaway Tamer ($7.99, $9.99 reg price, 20% discount), used three $2 coupons (3/6 SS or here), got back $10 UP (WYB $20, monthly deal) and will submit for TMF rebate on the tamer = $6 profit
  • RA dryer sheets $1.12, got back $1 UP (Limit 3) = $0.12
  • Used $3/$15 survey coupon, $1 off your order coupon (April Video Values) and $8 in UP's, total was $2.17
The John Frieda deal is tracking your purchases over time, so I was able to use some extra from a deal I did yesterday towards this purchase. Otherwise, I wouldn't have hit the $20 mark with these items I got today.

I did the RA dryer sheets yesterday. So glad I read your blog first! They were 2.99 then you get the UP making it more like 1.99. Well, you said they were .99. But the sign clearly said 2.99. So I grabbed 3 and crossed my fingers. And they were .99! Went to the RA by my house and used my friends name for a new card and did it again (b/c it said limit 3 per household) and I wasn't sure if I went to another store if I could use my card...so to make it easy, just got another card :)

Where oh where were the super bubbles at in your store? I tried seasonal stuff, party stuff and even the employee has NO IDEA where they were...LOL!

spaghetti,
Its limit 3 per card, just like how CVS limits their deals. Great job!

Stephanie,
They were in the seasonal aisle with the summer type stuff. If you can't find them right away, be sure to get a raincheck!

Stephanie said...

Ah, yes, lovin' the rainchecks!

Also, is it Wags policy that a manager is the only one who can issue a raincheck? or a refund?

Stephanie,
I'm not sure if its actual policy, but it seems like the cashiers usually call over a Manager for returns. I can't say I've ever gotten a raincheck from WAG though!
