Two Stores Done for the Week

Stop & Shop - I love the long life on these string cheeses. The rebate is limit 5 per household, so I've been slowly buying them here and there.

• 3 Sorrento String Cheeses $2.99 each (shelf price $3.79), used $3 off 2 coupon (5/2 SS) and will submit for $5 rebate (peelie found on package, WYB 2, Limit 5 rebates) = $0.97 Got catalina for a free 1/2 gallon of S&S milk for buying $10 of qualifying items (based on shelf prices)
• 6 Vitamin Waters $1 each, used six $0.50 tearpad coupons (found these at CVS) = FREE
• Total was $6.18

Repeated this same transaction with a half gallon of milk (used freebie cat, no beeps at self check-out) and minus the Vitamin Waters. Total was $5.97 and got back another cat for more free milk.

Rite Aid - these are for DBF's rebates

• 2 Everlast Supplements (only at GNC locations) $19.99 each, BOGO sale, used two $10 coupons = FREE/$0.02 profit
• Huggies Diapers (got the jeans - aren't these adorable?) $8.99, used $3 coupon, $1 RA coupon and got back $1 +UP Rewards = $3.99 - this should finish out my rebate for a coupon for a FREE pack of Huggies (SCR #800)
• Diet Coke $1.69 - this will finish out SCR #125 - $1.69 WYB Diet Coke and Caffeine Free Diet Coke
• Used $5 off $20 coupon, total was $1.67

One last transaction and now I'm done for the week! The deals at RA have been fantabulous lately but I'm wiped out and looking forward to the break.

• Used $5 off $20 coupon, total was $1.17

Acme - finished out my shopping here too. Phew! Did this transaction twice.

• 6 Orville Redenbacher Popcorns $1.89 each (shelf price $3.39), used six $0.75 coupons (5/16 SS) and 6 pack Snapple $5 (shelf price $6.79) = $7.34. Got back $10 cat for buying $25 worth of qualifying items (based on shelf price) and will submit for Try Me Free rebate on Snapple (peelie rebate) = $7.66 profit
• Acme Sponges $2.79 - these are always my go-to filler item
• Used $10 cat, total was $0.68

CVS - my oldest card. Bought one body wash already, otherwise I would have used a BOGO coupon to get two.

• Old Spice Deodorant $2.99 and Old Spice Body Wash $4, used buy deo, get body wash free coupon (cashier took off $5.29, 6/6 P&G) and got back $4 EB (Limit 2) = $2.30 profit
• Used $1 EB, total was $1.12

Ooh Boy, That's a Whole Lotta Shopping

I'm tired! My youngest sister and I trekked to Virginia this weekend to visit our other sister who moved down there. We had a wonderful time and I'll post some pics soon. The ride home was ok until we hit an awful rain storm, so we got home later than expected. What with unpacking, grabbing a quick dinner and dealing with a painful sunburn, last night was a bit hectic and I had to drag myself out of bed today. I had some catalinas/EB's expiring today, so I bucked up and got a ton of shopping done in-between yawns.
ShopRite

• 4 Olay Total Effects $4.99 each, used four $4 coupons (6/6 P&G) and 2 Herbal Essences $2.99 each, used two $1 coupons (5/16 RP) and got back $10 catalina (WYB $25 worth of qualifying items) = $2.04 profit
• Peaches $0.79/lb = $3.09 - will submit for $3 Absolut NBPR rebate (WYB $3 of produce) = FREE
• Used $10 catalina, total was $2.10

Acme

• 8 Orville Redenbacher Popcorns $1.89 each (shelf price $3.39), used eight $0.75 coupons (5/16 SS - I didn't get these in my inserts, bought on ebay) = $3.12 - got back $10 cat for buying $25 worth of qualifying items (based on shelf price) = $6.88 profit
• Canteloupe $3, will submit for $3 Absolut NBPR rebate (WYB $3 of produce) = FREE
• Mission Tortillas $3.19
• Wrigley's Gum $1
• Used $10 catalina, total was $0.38 - repeated this same transaction again

CVS - bought this Sunday before I realized the EB limit was two

• Old Spice Deo $2.79 and Body Wash $4, used BOGO coupon (free body wash - cashier entered in as $4.49, 6/6 P&G) and got back $4 EB (Limit 2) = $1.70 profit
• Used $2 EB - freebie that printed on previous receipt, total was $0.54

Bought today:

• 2 Old Spice Body Washes $4 each, used BOGO coupon (cashier entered in as $5.29, 6/6 P&G) and got back $8 EB ($4 each, Limit 2) = $5.29 profit
• 2 M&M's $0.89 each - needed fillers so I could this EB which was expiring
• Used $4 EB, total was $1.06

Walgreens - bought this stuff Sunday so I can't send away for the Schick TMF rebate with this receipt (rebate starts 6/14). I'll buy more during the week and use those receipts instead.

• Schick Hydro 3 or 5 Blade Razor $7.99, used $5 coupon (6/13 SS) and got back $4 RR = $1.01 profit
• Nivea for Men Active 3 Body Wash (16.9 oz) $5.99, used $3 coupon (5/2 RP) and got back $6 RR = $3 profit
• 2 Diet Cokes $1.59 each, used $1 off 2 peelie = $2.18
• 2 M&M's pretzels $0.89 and $0.70 each - needed snacks for the ride home from VA!
• Butterfinger candy $0.39 - filler
• Used two $5 RR's, total was $0.97

Today's purchases: 3 Nivea's on their own = $9 profit and...

• Nivea for Men Active 3 Body Wash (16.9 oz) $5.99, used $3 coupon (5/2 RP) and got back $6 RR = $3 profit
• 10 Keebler Cookies/Crackers $0.99 each, will submit for $10 rebate (WYB 10 items in single transaction, from calendar that was released ages ago, found form on ebay) = FREE
• Used $2 RR, $2.50 RR and $5 RR, total was $3.81

RiteAid - was planning to buy the OS deo that was $2.49 but had to get the Fresh Collection deo as per cashier. That's what the fine print on the coupon says, so of course he was right. Threw off my scenario a bit.

• Old Spice Deodorant $5.49 and Body Wash $2.99, used buy deodorant, get body wash free coupon (6/6 P&G) and will get back $2.99 (for body wash, SCR #96) = FREE *Deo will count towards SCR #101 - $5 WYB $25 of select P&G items. UPDATE - this rebate was only good last week, thanks for catching that Jamie! Although I cleared this rebate on DBF's account with some items that weren't in the monthly book, it didn't work for my account so I'm a smidge short. If you aren't working on this deal, you're better off buying the body wash on its own or using another coupon. If I buy a second Fresh Collection deo, I'll qualify for a $2 rebate (SCR #81). I have to do the math to see if that's worth it.
• 2 Everlast Supplements (only at GNC locations) $19.99 each, BOGO sale, used two $10 coupons = FREE/$0.02 profit
• Huggies Diapers $8.99, used $3 coupon or $2.50 coupon (for Naturals), $1 RA coupon and got back $1 +UP Rewards = $3.99 - this should finish out my rebate for a coupon for a FREE pack of Huggies (SCR #800). There's also a $2 SCR on these, but I've already done that deal for this month
• Used $5 off $20 coupon and one $4 +UP Reward, total was $1.72

Finally Done with RA

Rite Aid - think I'm finally finished for the week!

• Biore Steam Activated Cleanser $7.99, will send away for $15 survey = $7.01 profit
• Everlast E-drenaline Energy Shot $5.99 (regular price), used $10 coupon (no beeps!) = $4.01 profit *FYI these are only found at Rite Aid's with GNC items. You can search on RA's website for locations that have GNC products before you go searching the whole store for them. Thanks Monica for the fabulous tip about that!
• 2 Old Spice Red Zone Body Sprays $3.50 each, used BOGO coupon (P&G home mailer) and got $4 in +UP rewards (RA cash that prints at the end of your receipt - like CVS's EB's) = $0.50 profit *Will count towards SCR #101 - spend $25 on P&G items, get back $5
• Listerine Total Care Rinse (500 mL) $3.99, used $1 coupon (5/16 RP) and will get back $3 (SCR #89) = FREE/$0.01 profit
• Gillette Fusion ProGlide Razor $9.99, used $4 coupon (6/6 P&G) and will get back $5 (SCR #102) = $0.99
• Gillette Fusion ProSeries Skin Care Item $5.99, used $2 coupon (6/6 P&G) and will get back $2 (SCR #98), also used $1 off $10 of shaving accessories CRT = $0.99
• Used $5 off $20 coupon and three $4 +UP Rewards, total was $3.48

I have now bought four Old Spice Body Sprays and the items above for my rebates. These same items cleared me for SCR #101 on DBF's account, so I'm thinking that either the razor or the Gillette skincare stuff is secretly counting towards the rebate (like a ninja!). This should finish out all the rebates I wanted to do this week.

CVS - got the $5/$15 coupon on my oldest card after my last purchases. Bought the ice cream on DBF's card, but no coupons on that one. Nothing on my newest card either.

• 4 Skinny Cow ice creams $1 each, used four $1 Facebook coupon = FREE
• Gillette ProGlide Power or Manual Razor $9.97, used $4 coupon (6/6 P&G) and got back $5 EB (monthly deal, Limit 2 - buy them separately otherwise you may only get one EB) = $0.97
• 2 John Frieda sham/cond $5 each, used two $3 coupons (6/6 SS) and got back $3 EB (monthly deal, limit at least 2) = $1 or $0.50 each
• Used $5 off $15 purchase coupon, $2 EB and $2 EB, total was $2.02, overall profit = $2.98

Acme

• 4 more Snapple cases $3.99 each
• Used $10 catalina, total was $7.08 - got back another $10 cat for spending $25 on qualifying items (based on shelf prices)

Had two $1 peelie coupons in my bag, totally forgot to use them! I wonder if I bring the receipt back, would they give me back $2 cash? Can't hurt to ask.

Quick RA Update

I was checking my boyfriend's RA rebate account and I cleared for SCR #101 - buy $25 of select P&G items, get back $5. For this account, I've purchased six Old Spice Body Sprays - $14 total, a Gillete Pro-Glide Razor $9.99 and a Gillette Fusion Skin Care Item $5.99. The Gillette items must be counting towards the rebate even though they aren't included in the monthly rebate book. This is great news since I was planning on buying two more OS Body Sprays, so that means one less shopping trip for me.

Sh-napple

(insert picture of 8 cases of Shnapple here)

I always say it this way in my head - Shnapple. Don't lie, you know you're saying that way to yourself right now. I know you are! I pulled out all my Shnapples from my car, arranged them all nice and pretty in my garage, got out the cheap camera I keep down there for days like this when I don't want to lug a bunch of heavy stuff around, turned it on and groaned when it told me my batteries needed to be changed. Sigh. So please imagine the beautiful Shnapples. Here's the deal:

Acme - the Snapple is part of a catalina deal that started today - spend $25 on qualifying items, get back $10. Its based on shelf prices. The Snapple $3.99 price is good through tomorrow and they go back to regular price on Friday.

• 4 Snapples (12 pack of plastic bottles - shelf price $7.49 or 6 pack of glass bottles - shelf price $6.79) $3.99 each, used four $1 peelie coupons = $13.08 and got back $10 catalina for spending $25 on qualifying items = $3.08

Then I bought four more:

• 4 Snapples (12 pack of plastic bottles - shelf price $7.49 or 6 pack of glass bottles - shelf price $6.79) $3.99 each, used four $1 peelie coupons = $13.08 and got back $10 catalina for spending $25 on qualifying items = $3.08
• 2 Acme Cream Cheeses $1.50 each
• Used $10 cat from transaction one, total was $6.08

I'll use these receipts towards a $20 Smirnoff NBPR rebate (WYB $20.01 worth of groceries, Exp. 6/30). I have TMF rebates for the 6 packs of Snapple (found on ebay) but since I'd only get back $3.99, I think using this receipt for the Smirnoff is a better deal. Plus the Smirnoff rebate expires sooner. I can usually find the 6 packs of Snapple at Rite Aid and use them as a filler to use a $5 off $20. See? There is sometimes a method to my madness! :)

This gives me $20+ towards the rebate when I only really spent about $6. I'm nervous about sending away for NBPR rebates that say buy X amount if I'm using coupons or rewards to pay. If I spent $20 on food and used a $10 reward to pay, would they count the $20 of food or only look at what I paid total? I dunno, so I play it safe with these kind of rebates.

CVS - I've been trying to buy only razors with the survey inside. I was able to complete one this morning (used Walgreens as the store). I was locked out when I tried: CVS, RiteAid, Target, Other: ___ and Don't Know. Also read that Walmart and Walgreens aren't working. If you have luck with the survey, please let me know what store you used.

• Gillette ProGlide Power or Manual Razor $9.97, used $4 coupon (6/6 P&G) and got back $5 EB (monthly deal, Limit at least 2 but don't buy together) = $0.97
• 2 Mylanta Softchews (24-36 ct) $3.99 each, used $4 off 2 coupon (6/6 RP) and got back $4 EB (WYB 2, Limit 1) = FREE/$0.01 profit
• Used a bunch of expiring EB's, total was $0.44

Rite Aid - starting to buy the 8 Old Spices I'll need for SCR #101 on my account. I was planning on buying a Royal Gelatin for $0.50 and using a $4 +UP Reward on each transaction, but the cashier entered in my coupons as $4.49 each. So I held onto the rewards and nixed the jello.

• 2 Old Spice Red Zone Body Sprays $3.50 each, used BOGO coupon (cashier entered as $4.49, P&G home mailer) and got $4 in +UP rewards (RA cash that prints at the end of your receipt - like CVS's EB's) = $1.49 profit

Bought another two separately - just need four more and I'm good for my account. Still need to buy two more sprays on DBF's account to fully qualify for the rebate.

A&P - split these up between two stores

• 10 Pampers Wipes $1.99 each, used ten $2 coupons (6/6 P&G) = FREE

I Found the Survey!

Walgreens

• Gillette ProGlide Power or Manual Razor $9.89, used $4 coupon (6/6 P&G) and got back $5 RR (monthly deal) = $0.89 *Will send away for $5 survey inside package = $4.11 profit
• 3 John Frieda Sham/Cond $5 each, used three $3 coupons (6/6 SS) and got back $5 RR (monthly deal) = $1 or $0.33 each
• 4 Knee Highs $0.25 each with in-circular coupon
• Used four $2.50 RR's, total was $4.63

Bought another razor separately

Bought another razor at CVS (monthly deal there too): $9.97, used $4 coupon (6/6 P&G) and got back $5 EB = $0.97
Its kind of hard to see, but here's what you're looking for. See that little folded paper between the razor and the back of the package? That's the survey. Some folks are reporting that it says the survey is closed, but other folks have still been able to do it. If you're not able to get in right away, try another day. Maybe they have a limit on how many surveys they are accepting each day.

Rite Aid - these rebates are all for my boyfriend's account. Sometimes when I do a lot of shopping like this, I try to just focus on one account at a time so I don't goof myself up. I didn't use any +UP Rewards to pay because there is some glitch in the system today. The register is not accepting the rewards, saying that the customer has to purchase $4 worth of stuff. I didn't want to mess with it, so I just paid cash.

• Aveeno Ageless Vitality $34.99, used $5 coupon (All You, May issue), $5 in-circular coupon and will submit for $20 rebate = $2.09
• 2 Old Spice Red Zone Body Sprays $3.50 each, used BOGO coupon (P&G home mailer) and got $4 in +UP rewards (RA cash that prints at the end of your receipt - like CVS's EB's) = $0.50 profit *Will count towards SCR #101 - spend $25 on P&G items, get back $5

• Blink Tears (0.5 oz) $7.99, used $2 coupon (5/16 RP) and will get back $7.99 (SCR #1) = $2 profit
• 2 Old Spice Red Zone Body Sprays $3.50 each, used BOGO coupon (P&G home mailer) and got $4 in +UP rewards (RA cash that prints at the end of your receipt - like CVS's EB's) = $0.50 profit *Will count towards SCR #101 - spend $25 on P&G items, get back $5
• 2 Aveeno Lotions $3.49, used three $3 circular coupons = $0.98 or $0.49 each

Ok, now for the summary. I've spent $53.04 ($34.99 Vitality kit, $18.05 in lotions - pre-coupon price is what matters) towards SCR's #555 & 655.

• Cash spent: $45.92
• Rebates coming back to me: $20 Aveeno rebate, $25 RA gift card (SCR #555), $5 RA gift card (SCR #655), $3 (SCR #89), $5 (SCR #102), $2 (SCR #98), $7.99 (SCR #1) and I have $12 in +UP Rewards. That's a profit of $34.07! Once I buy two more Old Spice body sprays, I'll also qualify for another $5 (SCR #101), bringing me up to $39 profit. Not bad for a couple of Rite Aid trips, huh?

ShopRite - went coupon-less shopping! I have a couple Smirnoff NBPR rebates for $20 off $20.01 of groceries, so I bought whatever I felt like today.
