Tuesday Rainy day shopping trip

Okay, so I did, in fact, still decide to go shopping this week for some good deals.  Above are some items I picked up at Rite-Aid, CVS, and Wal-mart.

Let's start with the Brita pitcher at Wal-mart.  The pitcher was $8.97, but after a rebate, I will make a profit of $6.03!  Here's how:

• Currently the 5 cup pitchers are priced at $8.97.  If you go to filterforgood.com, you can get a $5 off any pitcher coupon.  
• In addition, you can print out a $10.00 rebate form from Brita's website, making you a PROFIT OF $6.03 once you receive your rebate.  Awesome!

Next, I hopped over to CVS to pick up a few items.  The products were retailed at $9.26.  After paying with $1.99 in ECB, a rebate of $2.99, and receiving $5.77 in ECB for the future, I made a profit of $1.49.  Here's how:

• Excedrin 8 ct., $0.99, receive a $0.99 ECB (Limit 2, makes them FREE)
• Thermacare Heatwraps, lower back/hip, on sale for $3.79, receive $3.79 in ECB (making them FREE, limit 1)
• Lastly I picked up the Carmex Moisure Plus lip balm, $3.29.  You can print out a rebate for up to $2.99 back, making this $0.30.  Hopefully you can find it on sale somewhere near you for $2.99 or less.

Since I already had to drive past Rite-Aid, I figured why not stop.  I was trying to kill time before an appt. anyway.  Here I picked up the bodywash and dog treats.  Retail was $9.98.  After sales, coupons, and +UP rewards, my total profit was $2.00!  Here's how I did it:

Softsoap body wash, reg. $4.99, on sale for $2.99
-$1.00/1 coupon from Sunday's paper
- $2.00 +UP Reward
= $0.01 profit

Pup-Peroni, reg. $4.99, on sale for $2.99
- $1.00/1 coupon from coupons.com
= $1.99 final price

Then, I paid with a $4.00 +UP reward, making my total 0.00.  Then, I received the $2.00 +UP reward for the future.  And, I still have $3.00 left from before!  Woo hoo!

CVS Freebies! Week of 8/14/11

Wow!  Definitely scan your ExtraCare Card at the magic coupon machine!

When I went into CVS today & scanned my card, I got the following coupons:

• FREE Carefree pantyliners, 20 ct.
• FREE Caramello candy bar
• FREE CVS Fabric Bandages, 20 ct.
• $0.50 off 1 Big Chill Purified Water, 20 oz
• $1.00/1 Hershey's Air Delight Kisses, bag

I believe there are some other good ones coming out this week, too - so check it out!

Also, if you like the Minute Clinic on Facebook, they will email you a coupon for a FREE bottle of CVS bodywash!

After coupons, I paid $5.03 out of pocket for the above items.  I did receive $5.00 in ECB back, making my total $0.03!  (Note:  I did have ECB left over from before with which I could have paid, but decided to save them for next week!)

•  The Big Chill water was BOGO, and I had 2 of the $0.50/1 coupons, so I got 2 for $0.49.
• I had a free coupon for the body wash.
• Free coupon for the pantyliners.
• Gatorade Fit Series:  Spend $5, get $5 in ECB back - so, essentially it is FREE!

Unfortunately my CVS store did not have Caramello bars (yum!) or the bandages from the coupon special (they were out!).

Small Rite-Aid/CVS Transaction: 8/14/11

This week there weren't too many deals I was after. Plus, it was my birthday and I was busy!  I also let some friends/family "shop" in my closet of freebies which was great - so glad they can benefit!  :-)


Above is what I purchased at Rite-Aid.  Before using coupons and +UP rewards, the value was $20.85.  After using coupons and some +UP rewards from previous weeks, I paid $0.98 (with tax).  I received $3.00 in +UP rewards, making me a profit of $2.02!  


Also, at CVS, I picked up 2 bottles of Gain dish soap (not pictured), which was on sale for $0.99 each.  I used a $1.00 off 2 coupon from this week's insert...so I paid $0.98 for 2 bottles.  I paid with a $0.99 ECB receipt, so it was free!  I have tons of ECB's leftover from previous weeks, so I'm hoping to get some good deals next week!  


The Gain dish soap is on sale for $0.88 cents at Rite-Aid, but I wanted to use an ECB at CVS before it expired!


***Bonus*** -->  Buying the Veet this week put me over the $15.00 mark of qualifying beauty products for the free make-up bag available through the Single Check Rebates - yeah!


Here is how my Rite-Aid transaction is broken down:

Listerine, 1 L- on sale for $3.99 each (reg. $5.69)

- Used 2 $1.00/1 coupons (past inserts)

-$1.00 video value (August)

-$1.00 +UP reward (Limit 2)

=2 for $2.98 final price

(Look for the bottles that have an extra free small bottle of the Total Care mouthwash attached!)

Carefree pantyliners- on sale 2 for $2 (reg. $1.49 each)

-$1.00 off 2 video value (August)

= 2 for $1.00 final price

(If you have some past coupons for $0.50 off 1 pkg, you can get them for free!)

Veet - $6.49

-$2.00 Veet website coupon

-$2.00 In-Ad coupon

-$1.00 Video value (July or August)

-$1.00 +UP reward (Limit 4)

= $0.49 final price

(I chose this bottle because I like the product better, but you can find other Veet for around $5.00, which would make this about a $1.00 moneymaker!)

CVS Transaction: 8/7/11

At CVS this week, I used my plan in a below post.

I purchased:

2 Aussie products (1 shampoo, 1 conditioner)
3 Garnier Fructis hair products (1 shampoo, 1 cond., 1 styling)
2 boxes of Orville popcorn
2 bottles of Skintimate cream shave
1 Trident layers.

Before coupons, the value was $43.38.  After using some coupons and ECB's, I paid NOTHING!  In addition, I received $5.00 in ECB and still have some left over from before!  Woo hoo!

Rite-Aid Transaction: 8/7/11

Above is what I purchased at Rite-Aid this week.  Before sales, coupons, +UP rewards, and rebates, my total was $56.93.  After coupons and +UP rewards, I paid (with tax) $16.88.  I received $7.50 in +UP rewards and a $10.00 SCR on the Compound W.  This makes me a small profit of $0.62!  Better than nothing!  :-)  See the post below for the breakdown.
