Everyday I'm Bu-Buff-er-in

Happy Halloween everyone!  We got doused in a major snowstorm this past weekend and I got over a foot of snow.  Luckily my power's on, but many areas around me lost power from tree limbs falling on wires.  There are downed trees everywhere.  


I thought I'd finally be able to share a picture of my hounding today.  Got the camera, got da boyfriend's computer but sadly, I forgot my USB cable.  It was not to be.  Here's what I got:


Walgreens

  • Ricola Dual Action Cough Drops (19 ct) $2, got back $2 RR = FREE 
*There's a BOGO coupon for these in the 10/2 SS but this was an impromptu trip and I didn't have it on me.  I noticed the package says these are an oral anesthetic, which I think means they'll numb your throat, right?  I'm not crazy about that feeling so I probably won't get any more.


Rite Aid 

  • Bufferin (130 ct) $6.99, used $3 coupon (10/16 SS) and will get back $6 (SCR #10) = $2.01 profit
  • Hartz Clumping Cat Litter Scooper $1.83 ($2.29 reg price, 20% Wellness discount), will get back $1.25 (SCR #49 - WYB any pet accessory) = $0.58
  • Used $5 UP, total was $0.95
Figure its always nice to have an extra (clean) scooper lying around.


At a separate store, I got:

  • Bufferin (130 ct) $6.99, used $3 coupon (10/16 SS) and will get back $6 (SCR #10) = $2.01 profit
  • 3 Hartz Crunch & Clean Dog Treats $3.99 each, one was 50% off so $2.49, used two $0.50 peelie coupons and Hartz Duck Quackers Toy $4.79 ($5.99 reg price, 20% Wellness discount), will get back $4 (SCR #52, WYB $15 of Hartz toys, treats or rawhides) = $10.26 or $2.56 per item
  • Used $2 UP and $5 UP, total was $13.39
Thought all the Hartz items were BOGO 50% off, but I only got the 50% discount one of the four items I bought.  It worked out ok though, my total was $15.26 for the Hartz items.  I had three $0.50 peelie coupons but just realized the cashier missed one.

Have you received your SCR for the Bufferin yet in your account? It says "up to $6" so I'm wondering if they will only give purchase price after coupon back.
Thanks.

Michelle,
Yup, it cleared for $6. :)
