Is there anything as disconcerting...

...as walking into a CVS intent on buying cases of soda, only to find there are no carts available? Sigh.
CVS - my new card. This finished out a deal I started yesterday on soda:
  • 3 cases Diet Pepsi $10, used $2/$10 purchase of fruit, nuts or sugar free items (CVS coupon found in 50 Million Pound Challenge Book)
  • Kellogg's Smart Start Cereal $4.99, will submit for TMF rebate found on box = FREE
  • Used $10 EB, total was $3.69
Got back $10 EB for spending $20 on Pepsi (Limit 2). Since I broke my purchases into two trips so I could use two $2 coupons (one per customer), I only spent $6 after EB's for six cases of soda - $1 a case! (not including tax) Ain't bad at all!

Since it was such a great deal, I did it again on DBF's card (at another store):
  • 4 cases Diet Pepsi CHERRY!!! $13.33, used $2/$10 purchase of fruit, nuts or sugar free items (CVS coupon found in 50 Million Pound Challenge Book) - since this store had four cases of cherry, I bought four at once. I LOVE this flavor and CVS hardly ever carries it
  • Used $10 EB, total was $2.13
At another store:
  • 2 cases Diet Pepsi $6.66
  • 4 bags CVS brand dried fruit
  • Used $2/$10 purchase of fruit, nuts or sugar free items (CVS coupon found in 50 Million Pound Challenge Book), total was $9.28
Got back $10 EB for buying $20 of Pepsi

Rite Aid
  • 6 Motrin PM's (20 ct) $3 each, used three $6/2 coupons (1/2 SS) and got back six $2 UP's = $12 profit
  • 4 Special K Cereals $4.79 each, BOGO sale, used two BOGO coupons (sign up for the plan first) and got back four $1 UP's (monthly deal) = $4 profit *Count toward Buy & Save promo
  • 4 Barilla Pastas $5, got back $1 UP (WYB 4) and four $1 UP's (monthly deal) = FREE
  • Used $2 UP and $3 UP, total was zero

    Wow, you can still find the Motrin 20ct? Impressive...I found some yesterday in the city...all the suburb stores were wiped clean.

    Another MM deal at RA. Buy 2 Kellogg's Fiber Plus cereal (BOGOF), use 2 x 70c Qs (coupons.com) and submit for TMF. Hopefully we'll get $1 UPs for the Fiber Plus too. That will make it a $3.40 MM.

    You can submit a rebate for each flavour.

    Sheila,
    The store I went to had tons more, but I didn't want to grab too many all at once. I'm planning to try a couple more stores this week and see if I can find some more. Hope you find some too!

    Pubbler,
    LOVE IT! Thanks, I'm at $95 towards my resolution reward on my boyfriend's account so that should be enough to push me up to $100.
