I Put that Shit on Everything!

DUH! The Freeman rebate is good until 12/31/10, not 2011. It says the rebate claim must be submitted by 12/11.

My skin has been looking and feeling very "blah" lately so as I headed in to SR to use up some catalinas, I decided to look for a face mask. As I was poring over my options, I spotted a Try Me Free sticker on this bottle of Freeman Superfruits face scrub. It wasn't a mask, but how could I say no to free? The rebate label says its good on any Superfruits item, so I may see if I can find a mask tomorrow. Its valid until 12/31/11. I also spotted new Try Me Free rebates on Snapple 6 packs at Rite Aid. Even when I'm not looking for them, rebates just keep popping out at me!

Dog Tired

In addition to working a full day (and it was a very crazy day at that) and my regular hour long commute, I hit up ShopRite, CVS and seven Rite Aid's today. And because my brain is rarely fully functioning when I leave for work, I wore less than comfortable shoes, which over the course of the day, turned into very uncomfortable shoes.

At CVS I picked up more Purex 3-in-1 sheets and I'm ashamed to admit, another set of adorable storage totes for 50% off ($2.49). I left ShopRite with more free Purex detergent, moneymaking Reach toothbrushes and cheap Scotch Brite sponges. I posted about all these deals yesterday if you want the details. I also saw a huge display of Crystal Lite at SR (upcoming sale maybe?) and tons of $1 off 2 tearpad coupons.

Here's what I got at Rite Aid. Forgive me for not spelling out each transaction, I'm just too exhausted. Anyway, now that there aren't $5/$25 coupons, putting scenarios together isn't as valuable as it used to be.

• 4 Motrin IB PM's (40 ct) $3 each, used two $6 off 2 coupons (1/9 SS) and got back four $1 UP's = $4 profit *There's a $1 Video Values coupon for this, but I bought the Motrin by itself and since its free with the $6 coupons, I didn't bother using it. Hopefully I can find some more.
• Purex Fabric Softening Crystals (28 oz) $3.99 each, used $2 coupon (3/13 paper), $1 RA coupon (March Video Values) and got back $1 UP = FREE/$0.01 profit

Obviously I couldn't use a VV coupon on each of these, so the ones without the RA coupon cost me $0.99. I also used the $1 off nonprescription VV coupons (March) to defray the cost.

• 3 Dixie Ultra Plates $1.97 each, used $5 off 3 RA coupon (March Video Values) = $0.91 or $0.30 each

Now I'm off to get some grub and get my Glee on!

Loads of Purex

ShopRite - some great deals this week!

• 4 Reach Crystal Clean Toothbrushes $0.99 each, used four $0.50 coupons (1/9 SS) and got back $4 catalina (monthly deal, valid until 3/29) = $4 profit
• 4 Purex Laundry Detergents $1.99 each, used four $1 coupons (2/20 or 3/13 RP) and got back two $2 catalinas ($2 WYB 2 - reported to work on as many as 8 bottles at a time) = FREE
• 4 Scotch Brite Sponges $1.74 each, used four $0.50 tearpad coupons = $2.96 or $0.74 each
  
• 2 Triscuits $2.99 - bought these so I could use a $5 Munch Mania catalina
• Grands biscuits $1.99
• Pepperoni $3.69
• Used four $3 catalinas and $5 Munch Mania catalina, total was $2.53 after $0.10 bag discount

I should have grabbed something by the registers to bring my total up over $3 so I could use a $3 catalina from the vitamins last week, but there was a huge line forming in self-checkout so I just used cash. The Reach catalina is for $1 cat WYB 2, $2 cat WYB 3 or $4 cat WYB 4+. Its good on any Reach toothbrushes but the Crystal Clean are the cheapest. I found them with the travel size items and others have reported finding them mixed in with the regular toothbrushes.
CVS - DBF's card

• Tena Ultra Thins Heavy Protection Pads (32-42 ct) $9.99, used $2.50 coupon and got back $9.99 EB (Limit 1) = $2.50 profit
• 5 Purex 3-in-1 Sheets $3.99 each, used five $3 coupons (2/20 RP) = $4.98 or $0.99 each
• Used $2 EB, $3 EB and $7 EB, total was $1.84, got back $1 EB (green bag tag)
  

At another store, I found these totes on clearance. I am developing a serious "storage solutions" addiction! This was on my new card -

• Tena Ultra Thins Heavy Protection Pads (32-42 ct) $9.99, used $2.50 coupon and got back $9.99 EB (Limit 1) = $2.50 profit
• 2 Packs of Storage Totes $2.49 (50% clearance)
• Straws $0.49 (50% clearance)
• Used $5.99 EB and $7 EB, total was $0.35, got back $1 EB (green bag tag)

Then on my old card, I just bought the Tena, used a $7 EB and paid with a gift card I got from My Points.

From the scanner I got a $5 EB for buying beauty items on two of my cards. I have no idea what triggered this, maybe the Physician's Formula I've bought over the last couple weeks? I also got a $6 coupon for Physician's Formula on my new card. These coupons just keep coming!

Walgreens

• 8 Scotch Bubble Mailers three for $1 with in-circular coupon
• Total was $2.86

Back to ShopRite

Tomorrow I'll start my drugstore shopping, but I just didn't have the urge today. Its been so nice to just spend my SR money as I please. I haven't really been worrying about sale prices or coupons, just wandering around the store and picking up items I need/want.

ShopRite

• Static Guard $3.99
• Rachael Ray Just 6 Dog Treats (Shadow loves these) $3.49
• Golden Delicious Apples $2.35 ($0.79/lb) - might go back for more of these, what a great price
• Can't Believe Its Not Butter $3.19
• Axelrod Cottage Cheese $1.64
• 2 SR Cream Cheeses $1.25 each
• Milk $2.19
• Corn Muffin Tops $2.29
• 2 Bottles of Rain X washer fluid $2.99
  
• M&M's $0.69
• Used $27 in catalinas from Dollar Days promos and $3 catalina from vitamins last week, total was $0.08

The pre-M&M total was $2.34 so I picked up the candy to use another catalina and therefore use less cash. I've been out of Static Guard for ages and I've kept my eyes peeled for a deal on this somewhere. I haven't seen any, so I decided to pay full price and get it here. At least I used rewards!

Chocolate Makes Everything Worth It

As I drove home from work tonight, plodding along in the traffic that always appears when it rains (why is that anyway?), I debated with myself whether or not I felt like hitting up ShopRite. It was a dreary day, I was tired and had a headache and would've loved nothing more than to put on sweats and veg in front of the tv. "Just go home, you deserve it" said the bad influence. But the more disciplined side of me chastised - if you go home, you'll just have to go tomorrow or worse, Saturday afternoon when the store is mobbed. (epic sigh) FINE! I'll go, but I'm not gonna like it!

I trudged through the rain to the store and walked to the medicine aisle for the Excedrin. This store has been out of the cheap Sundown all week, but out of habit, I checked again. They had restocked! I cracked a huge smile and did a happy dance as I liberated them from the shelf. Instantly, the trip was worth it! Do you all get a little adrenaline rush too when you find something you've been hunting for? Love that feeling!

First transaction -

• 2 Sundown Vitamins (Folic Acid 800 mg) $2.19 each, used $3 off 2 coupon and got back $3 catalina (WYB 2) = $1.62 profit
  
• 2 SR shredded cheeses $1.49 each
• Used $3 cat, total was $1.36

Then I bought

• 4 Hershey's/Reese's Drops Bags $2.50 each, used two $2 off 2 coupons (1/30 SS), 8 Hershey's/Reese's King Size candy bars $1 each, used four BOGO coupons (1/30 SS) and Reese's single candy bar $0.66, got back four $5 catalinas (WYB $20 of Kraft/Coke/Planters/Nabisco/Reese's Items) = $9.34 profit
  
• 4 Excedrin PM's $1.74 each, used four $2.50 tearpad coupons (no beeps!) = $3.04 profit
• 2 Sundown Vitamins (Folic Acid 800 mg) $2.19 each, used $3 off 2 coupon and got back $3 catalina (WYB 2) = $1.62 profit
• 3 SR shredded cheeses $1.49 each
• Laughing Cow cheese $2.49
• Used six $3 catalinas, total was $2.26
  

I haven't been posting about it because its kinda boring to read about deals you can't replicate, but I've used up all my catalinas for the week. I bought some bagels, ham, fruit, cheese, more Sundown and other random goodies.
