Lots of Rebates

Rite Aid

• 2 Finesse Clean & Simple Sham/Cond $3.99 each, BOGO sale, used $1 coupon (5/8 SS) and will send away for TMF peelie rebate = $1 profit
  
• Similac Ready to Feed Advanced or Sensitive $4.99, used $5 coupon (4/3 or 5/1 SS) = FREE/$0.01 profit
• Carefree Pantliners (18 - 22 ct) $1, used $1 coupon (5/8 SS) = FREE
• 2 Chapstick Lipmoist Tubes (0.35 oz) $2.39 ($2.99 reg price, 20% Wellness discount), will get back two $2 (SCR #13, Limit 2) = $0.78 *Valid all month
  
• eos Organic Lip Balm $2.63 ($3.29 reg price, 20% Wellness discount), will get back $2 (SCR #45) = $0.63
• Used $3/$15 survey coupon and $5.76 in UP's, total was $1.86, overall profit $2.37

Repeated this scenario on DBF's card minus the Carefree. Its not much of a moneymaker scenario, but it does turn UP's into cold hard cash and that's a-ok with me.

Walgreens - bought at two separate stores

• 6 Clean & Clear Body Washes $5.99 each and BOGO sale, used BOGO coupon (3/27 SS) = FREE
• Just paid tax - $1.26
  

It was reported on SD that the pink bottles of body wash aren't ringing up as BOGO. I was hoping to avoid that variety all together but one store only had two pink and one orange variety. I picked up one pink and one orange and they rang up correctly. Maybe its only a problem if you buy two of the pink?

Shop 'Til You Drop

Pathmark - they are double coupons up to $2 through Sunday! Next weekend, they're tripling coupons up to $1. The fun continues! I hit up two stores for these goodies, but for simplicity's sake, I'm going to list everything all at once. You can double up to 20 coupons per order and only four of the same coupon will double. The coupons only doubled up to the amount of the items for me today, no overage.

• 16 Propel Waters $0.50 each, used 8 $1 off 2 coupons (2/13 SS) = FREE
  
• Herr's Pretzels $1.49, used $1 coupon = FREE
• 16 Fuze Bottles $0.80 each, used 8 $1 off 2 coupons (4/10 SS) = FREE
• Sally Hansen Nail Clippers and Files $3.99 each, used three $2 coupons (4/10 RP) = FREE
• Country Crock Butter $1.50, used $1 coupon (May All You magazine) = FREE
• 4 Betty Crocker Cookie Frostings $2.04 each, used four $1 coupons (4/17 SS) = $0.16 or $0.04 each *This was a discontinued flavor. The regular price was around $4
  
• Marie Callendar's Frozen Dinner $2.49, used $1 coupon (May All You magazine) = $0.49
• 2 Pedigree Jumbones $3 each, used $1 peelies = $1 each
  
• 2 American Greeting Cards $3.49 each, used $2 off 2 coupon = $2.98 or $1.49 each *Thought I was going to get a $2 store discount for buying 2 cards but I didn't. LRWC had reported this and even though I didn't see it in the circular, I figured I'd give it a go.
  
• 4 Scott Naturals Toilet Paper $6.99 each, used four $1.50 coupons = $3.99 each
  
• Total price was $25.76
  

I forgot to put the Country Crock, Marie Callendars and greeting cards in the pic. I was a bit frazzled after carrying all those waters upstairs (and Snapple and a case of soda and the toilet paper -- which is surprisingly heavy!)

A&P - they are doubling coupons up to $2 just like Pathmark. Its not listed in the circular but it is running.

• 4 Snapple 6 packs $3.99, used four $1 coupons (4/3 SS) = $1.99 each
• 4 Lindt Truffles - 75% Easter clearance, $1.20 each
• Total was $13.93

CVS - I had a bunch of EB's that are expiring this week or next and there's not a whole lot to use them on. I've been waiting to do my CVS shopping until my coupon order came in, but its still not here and I couldn't wait any longer.

DBF's card:

• 2 Colgate MaxClean, Smartfoam, MaxWhite or MaxFresh Toothpastes (6 oz) $2.77 each, got back $5.54 EB ($2.77 each, Limit 2) = FREE
• Used $0.99 EB, $1 EB and $3 EB, total was $0.94

Old card:

• 2 Colgate MaxClean, Smartfoam, MaxWhite or MaxFresh Toothpastes (6 oz) $2.77 each, got back $5.54 EB ($2.77 each, Limit 2) = FREE

• Used $0.74 EB, $1 EB, $7.99 EB and $10 EB, total was $1.54
  

New card:

• 2 Colgate MaxClean, Smartfoam, MaxWhite or MaxFresh Toothpastes (6 oz) $2.77 each, got back $5.54 EB ($2.77 each, Limit 2) = FREE
• 3 Tostitos $2.99 each and Lipton Tea $5.99, got back $5 EB (WYB $14.95+) and will submit for $5 Dos Equis NBPR rebate on $5.01 of tortilla chips (HUSA 8327) = $4.96
  
• 3 cases Diet Pepsi $10
• Used $0.74 EB, $1.99 EB, $2.50 EB, $3 EB, $5 EB, $7.27 EB (adjusted down from $7.99) and $10 EB, total was $1.26

Now I just have to use up a couple of EB's next week and then I'm good for a while. I hope CVS picks up soon. Its becoming a drag to shop there, don't you think?

Muy hermoso

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Today was one of those days I wish I could bottled up and save for rainy, cloudy days. The sun was shining, bright puffy white clouds were floating in the sky, the breeze blew the freshly greened trees around - it was just gorgeous. What could make a day like that even better? How 'bout some fresh flowers? For free! (you didn't expect anything else did you?)
I love how the angle of the sunlight completely changes the texture of the picture. They were all taken at the same time. I think the first shot is my favorite.

Stop & Shop - until 5/12, when you buy any $25 gift card, you can get a "designer bunch flowers" valued up to $4.99 for free. This store had tons of different varieties. I picked up a $25 S&S gift card at Customer Service, got my flowers for free and then did the rest of my shopping.

• 3 Hallmark Cards $0.99 each, got back $5 catalina (WYB 3) = $2.03 profit
  
• Total was $3.18

Then I used that $5 catalina towards more -

• 6 Hallmark Cards $0.99 each, got back two $5 catalinas ($5 WYB 3) = $4.06 profit
• Used $5 cat, total was $1.36
  

Then I used one of the $5 catalinas towards -

• 10 Breyers Yo Crunch Yogurts $6 or $0.60 each
• Used $5 cat, total was $1

I'm all for varied yogurt flavors but strawberry was all the store had, other than the candy varieties (blech). I didn't even see a spot for other varieties - weird. Someone on SD bought 15 cards in one transaction and got all five $5 catalinas. When redeeming them, you'll only be able to use one $5 cat at a time, so I am going to try to use all but one as I go. Its an easy roll to use one $5 cat to buy 6 cards ($5.94 subtotal). This Hallmark deal is valid until 5/12, as is the flower deal.

Tweeze Away

Rite Aid - did this on my card

• Breathe Right Strips $4.79 ($5.99 reg price, 20% discount), used FREE coupon = $1.20 profit *Scans automatically for $5.99
• 2 Revlon Tweezers $1.49 each ($2.49 reg price), got back $4 UP (WYB 2, Limit 4 offers) = $1.02 profit
• Revlon Foundation $9.99, used $2 coupon (4/10 SS), got back $5 UP and will get back $2 (SCR #37 - regular retail must be $9.99+ to qualify) = $0.99
• Used $3/$15 survey coupon, $1 non-prescription purchase RA coupon (May Video Values) and $4 UP, total was $2.40

Then at a different store and on DBF's card, I got

• Breathe Right Strips $4.79 ($5.99 reg price, 20% discount), used FREE coupon = $1.20 profit *Scans automatically for $5.99
• 2 Revlon Tweezers $1.49 each ($2.49 reg price), got back $4 UP (WYB 2, Limit 4 offers) = $1.02 profit
• No Nonsense liners $0.75, used $1 RA coupon (April Video Values) = $0.25 profit
• Revlon Foundation $9.59 ($11.99 reg price, 20% discount), used $2 coupon (4/10 SS), got back $5 UP and will get back $2 (SCR #37 - regular retail must be $9.99+ to qualify) = $0.59
• Milk $2.39
• Used $3/$15 survey coupon and $8 in UP's, total was $1.25
  

This was the only store I've been to all week that had any Revlon foundation items for $11.99. This works out to be a slightly better deal if you have the 20% discount. Loving all these free tweezers! For some reason, tweezers disappear on me. Maybe they disappear into the dryer with the kidnapped socks?

Finishing out the Revlon Deal

Rite Aid - bought these items on my newest card. I haven't earned a Wellness discount yet on this card.

• 5 Revlon Emery Boards $0.75 each ($1.25 reg price, 40% off) and Revlon Crazy Shine Nail Buffer $2.09 ($3.49 reg price, 40% off) and got back three $4 UP's (WYB 2) and will get back $2 (SCR #34) = $8.16 profit
• 3 Profoot Foot Care $5 each, used three $1.50 coupons (found inside package), got back $2 UP (WYB 3, Limit 4 offers) and will get back $10 (WYB 3, SCR #2) = $1.50 profit
• No Nonsense liners $0.75, used $1 RA coupon (April Video Values) = $0.25 profit
• Sun Chips $0.99, used $1 RA coupon (April Video Values) = FREE/$0.01 profit
• Breathe Right Strips $5.99, used FREE coupon = FREE *Scans automatically for $5.99
• Used $3/$15 coupon and $13 in UP's, total was $0.45, overall profit $12.55
  

There were $1.50 Profoot coupons inside these packages. You can see them by looking right behind the insole. I asked the cashier if it would be ok for me to open the package to use the coupon. He didn't have a problem with it, as long as I opened them myself.

Then at another store, I finished out the Revlon deal on this card -

• 2 Revlon Tweezers $1.49 each ($2.49 reg price), got back $4 UP (WYB 2, Limit 4 offers) = $1.02 profit
• Breathe Right Strips $5.99, used FREE coupon = FREE
• Revlon Foundation $9.99, used $2 coupon (4/10 SS), got back $5 UP and will get back $2 (SCR #37 - regular retail must be $9.99+ to qualify) = $0.99
• Used $3/$15 survey coupon and $7 in UP's, total was $1.74, overall profit $2.26
  

Had one of my least favorite cashiers today at RA. Every time I've seen this woman, she's been rude. Rude to me, rude to other customers, rude to the world. I try to keep my transactions short and sweet at this store anyway, just because I've had a ton of problems there. She scanned my items, scanned the $3/$15 and then saw the free Breathe Right coupon. Rather than trying to scan it or look up the price of the item, she told me she'd have to void the whole transaction and start over. (sigh) She did so, scanned the Breathe Right strips, noted the $5.99 price and then scanned the free coupon - which scans and takes off $5.99 automatically. Much ado about nothing!

The Breathe Right strips count towards the allergy UP deal - $5 UP WYB $25 (Limit 1, valid until 5/26). These are going to be giving back $1 UP next week, so be sure to save some coupons for that. I'm going to buy them this week as needed for fillers to get to $15.

Rolling UP's into SCR's

UPDATE - also cleared for SCR #54 - $1 WYB M&M's. That was a nice surprise!

Rite Aid

• 3 Revlon Emery Boards $0.75 each ($1.25 reg price, 40% off) and Revlon Crazy Shine Nail Buffer $2.09 ($3.49 reg price, 40% off) and got back two $4 UP's (WYB 2) and will get back $2 (SCR #34) = $5.66 profit
  
• 2 M&M's $2.50 each, used $1 off 2 RA coupon (May Video Values), $1 off 2 tearpad coupon and got back $1 UP (WYB 2) = $2 or $1 each
  
• 3 Profoot Foot Care $5 each, used two $1 coupons (wasn't able to print a third), got back $2 UP (WYB 3, Limit 4 offers) and will get back $10 (WYB 3, SCR #2) = $1
• Used $3/$15 survey coupon, $1 non-prescription purchase coupon (May VV), $10 UP, $5 UP and $1 UP, total was $0.53, overall profit $6.47

At another store, I did pretty much the same thing. The prices are higher at this store (than any other in my area), but they're very coupon-friendly and have a lot of stock so I don't mind so much.

• 3 Revlon Emery Boards $1.01 each ($1.69 reg price, 40% off) and Revlon Crazy Shine Nail Buffer $2.09 ($3.49 reg price, 40% off) and got back two $4 UP's (WYB 2) and will get back $2 (SCR #34) = $4.88 profit
• 3 Profoot Foot Care $5 each, used $2 peelie and $1 peelie, got back $2 UP (WYB 3, Limit 4 offers) and will get back $10 (WYB 3, SCR #2) = FREE *Very happy to find these peelies!
  
• Used $3/$15 survey coupon, $10 UP and four $1 UP's, total was $0.43, overall profit $7.57
  

Target

• 2 Freschetta Pizza by the Slice $1.99 each, will submit for TMF rebate (form found inside box, limit 2) = FREE
• Sun Chips $3 - this flavor is yummy!
• Total was $6.98

Finally found the Freschetta! I've been looking in supermarkets for these and finally found them at Target.
