Finally, some razors for me!

Target

• 5 cases Diet Pepsi $15, used $2 off 4 coupon and got back $5 Target gift card (WYB 5, sale this week and next) = $8 or $1.60 each
• Total was $13.70

Then I used the gift card to help pay for:

• 12 Gillette Venus Razors - clearanced to $4.24 each (purple) and $3.48 each (pink), used twelve $2 coupons and got back six $5 Target gift cards (WYB 2, need the coupon from 5/2 RP to get the gift cards) = $7.40 profit (after tax)

*Cashier rang up six of each type of razor even though I bought five pink and seven purple. I didn't realize it until just now. Target receipts are so confusing! I'm going to send off for this $12 P&G rebate and see what happens. I never hold out much hope for rebates that say "While Supplies Last", but we'll see if I get the money back. If not, no biggie since the razors were a profit anyway.

Walgreens

• 10 Stride Gums $1 each, used five BOGO coupons (5/16 SS) and $1 off 2 WAG coupon (from monthly coupon booklet, scanned five times automatically) = FREE
• 2 Morton Salts $0.50 each with in-circular coupon
• $23 Walgreens gift card (cashier chuckled at the amount, but she's my fav and didn't have a problem with it)
• Used three $8 RR's, total was $0.70 (tax for gum)

I stopped posting about buying gift cards with RR's because I was sick of people posting nasty comments about it. But this is MY blog and I'm going to post about what I want. If they don't like it, well, tough. I'm not forcing anyone to do anything they are uncomfortable with and if my stores allow it, what's the big deal? How is that any different than stores that allow expired coupons or allow stacking of coupons (ie. using $3 off $15 and $4 off $20 on same order)? So there. :)

ShopRite

• 10 Crystal Lites $1.99 each, used three $3 off 3 coupon and $1 catalina (coupon fairy left this one in the aisle!) = $9.90 or $0.99 each - will use these towards a second $10 Kraft rebate (WYB $30, from Facebook)

CVS - Dozen Eggs $1.29, used $1 EB, total was $0.29. Was going to buy these the other day when I was at CVS, but I had to go to Acme afterwards and it was about 94 degrees outside, so I couldn't leave them in the car while I shopped.

Look at your man, now back to me, now back at your man...

Favorite line - "the tickets are now diamonds!" Love these commercials!
Acme - the OM deal is good through tomorrow

• 5 Oscar Mayer Hot Dogs $1.99 each (shelf price $5.39 each), used five $1 peelie coupons and got back $5 catalina (WYB $25, based on shelf prices) = FREE/$0.05 profit
• Kraft Mac & Cheese Explosion $1.29, used FREE coupon (from Facebook sample pack) = FREE
• Total was $4.95 - these will all count towards my second $10 Kraft rebate (WYB $30)

CVS - new card

• 2 Old Spice body washes $4 each and Old Spice body spray $4.99, used BOGO body wash coupon and FREE body spray coupon (WYB 2 body washes, both from 5/2 P&G) and got back $8 EB ($4 EB each, Limit 2) = $4 profit
• Finesse Hair Spray $3.99, used $1 coupon (5/16 SS), $1 haircare CRT (for CVS haircare but went through with no beeps) and will submit for $3 rebate (5/16 SS) = $1 profit
• Gillette Gamer Razor - clearanced to $4.99 - needed a filler
• Used $4 off $20 coupon, $2 EB and $4 EB, total was $2.17

CVS - thanks to Desert Diva for this great tip! Here's how to get a $5 off $30 coupon for CVS mailed to you (offer expires 6/30): login or create an account with Recycle Bank and enter in UPC's for Nature Made bottles (I'm sure we all have tons of those! or use this code: 031604013028).
