Rite Aid

Well, this store was out of the Colgate that was a money maker after coupon & rebate, but I still did well with these:

Kotex $2.50 ea used (2) $1 q's - will get $2 rebate

Tylenol rapid release $2.99 used $2 q - will get $2 rebate

OOP: $4.55 (will get $4 rebate)

Saved: $4.00

CVS

The CVS store I went to is usually good about having things in stock, but today they did not have the Carefree that are free after ECB or the Glade Sense & Spray that are a money maker after q's & ECB's. I will check the store that's on my way to work on Friday, but I don't hold out much hope!

2 Composition books $0.99 ea (got back $1.98 ECB)

4 Candies $0.50 ea (bought so I could use a $3 ECB & have less OOP)

Used $3 ECB

OOP: $1.18

Saved $3.00 (got back $1.98 ECB)

Bi-lo Ice Cream Deal

I did not have the best coupons for this deal. If you have 4 of the $1/1 Eskimo coupons, you would pay $6 for 4 of them and get back a $4 coupon off your next shopping order. I only had 1, plus a $1 off Edies. The Dibs were expensive, but I got them for an after school treat for my kids:

2 Dr. Pepper 18 pks $3.99 ea
2 Eskimo Pies $2.50 ea used $1/1 - could have used 1 more!
Edies Dibs $4.50
Edies Ice Cream $3 used $1/1

OOP: $19.10
Saved: $2.00 (got back $4 q for next trip)

Walgreens RR Trip

I had $9 in RR expiring & $6 expiring next week, so I figured I'd use up what I could.

2 Kelloggs cereals $2.50 ea - got back $2 RR

4 Rice Krispie Treats 4/$10 - got back $5 RR

4 Scotch tape $1.29 ea used WAG q $3.16 (2/$1)

used $15 in RR's

OOP: $2.59 (got back $7 RR)

Saved : $18.16

K-mart Doubles

Double coupons were not advertised in the ad in my area- I found out by accident when I went in for a birthday gift and saw a sign posted. So, I really did not have time to do much (busy week), but I did get free deoderantr using the q in the K-mart coupon booklet:

Secret $2.49 used $2 q, + extra $0.49- no overage on doubles

Dentek floss picks $2.19 used $1 q, doubled

OOP: $0.52 w/tax

Saved: $4.49

Walgreen's (8/21)

I had a $10 RR expiring. I needed some Drano, so I thought I'd give the Walgreen's brand a try. (For the record, it does not work!)

WAG Drain Opener $3.49
Softsoap Bodywash $3.99 (got back $4 RR)
Conair hairbrush $2.99 (got back $2 RR)
used $10 RR

OOP: $1.20 (got back $6 RR)
Saved: $10

Walgreens - Profit!

A note on the coupon I used for the Listerine: the OLDER coupons included the 500 ml, so if you still have some of those, this deal would work for you. The newer coupons specify the 1L. This is actually the same deal they ran a while back, but my store(s) did not have all the items at that time, so I held onto my coupon.

2 Bic pens $0.50 ea used $1/2

Total $2.99 used $1q (got back $3 RR)

Listerine 500 ml $3

Reach Floss $3

Reach Tootbrush, dble pck $3

used $3/all 3- had to be the rinse, floss & TB

used $4 RR

OOP: $4.90

Saved: $9.00

Total "Cost": Earned $0.10----$4.90 OOP + $4 RR spent MINUS $9 RR earned = -$0.10!!

Bi-Lo - Very Cheap X-14!!

Everything I bought (except the grapes) was B1/G1, so the price I'm quoting is the "half" price, since at my Bi-lo, things ring up half price on a B1/G1 sale. Where you live, they may ring up full, then Zero.

2 Lance Crackers $1.44 ea

2 Mrs Butterworth's $1.64 ea

2 Post Cocoa Pebbles $1.56 ea used $1/2

2 X-14 $1.37 ea used (2) $1 q's *****$0.37 EACH!!*****

4 Eggo Waffles $1.24 ea

.84 lb grapes at $0.99/lb = $0.83

OOP: $15.45 ($0.64 tx)

Saved: $3

Walmart & Kroger- no pics

I bought a few things- well, a lot of things at Kroger. But I did not take pics because it was hot out, and a lot was frozen stuff. It wasn't really a savings trip, but since it's still counted in my grocery budget, I thought I'd summarize:

Walmart
24 pk Dr Pepper (this was before I went to CVS & I was out) $5.98
Banquet froz chicken $7.68 (I'd planned on the 8 pc from the deli & they were out)
2 pcks ground chuck $2.38 ea

Sara Lee hamburger buns $1.50

OOP: $22.06 w/tax

Saved: $12.67

CVS

I was so happy that Dr Pepper was included in the sale at my store- this will depend on where you live! It's bottled by Coca Cola where I live- you can tell by looking at the small print on the cans to see where it's bottled in your area.

4 Dr Pepper $3.25 ea (got back $3 ECB)
Bic Refills $6.00 used $3 q (got back $3 ECB)
Revlon Make-up $9.99 (got back $9.99 ECB)
CVS Aspirin $1.99 used free item q from this mo's promotion

OOP: $16.61 (got back $15.99 ECB)
Saved: $16.94 (used $11.95 ECB)
Total "cost" = $12.57 - This is OOP + ECB spent MINUS ECB Earned. ($1.58 was tax)

Walgreens- Spent $26- Got $20 in RR!

I'll add details later- my battery is dying. But I used the $5/$25 coupon on their website, combined w/manufacturer coupons and paid $26.23 w/tax. (If I'd had 2 more of the Skippy coupons, I'd have saved another $1.20). I recieved (2) $5 RR's and a $10 RR. I hope sales are good next week! Maybe they'll at least have Dr Pepper on sale!

Rite Aid Freebies

I have not been to Rite Aid since May! The main reason is it's a bit out of my way, but they are also often out of stock on the good deals by the time I get there. (I rarely shop on Sundays). Anyway, today (Sunday, lol!), I was dropping my kids off near there anyway , and there were several FAR items in the ad this week:

Renu Twin pack $9.99 used $1 q & will get back $9.99

Crest Pro Whiteneing $2.79 used $0.75 q & will get back $2.79

Duck Tape EZ Tear $1.49 no q, but will get back $1.49

Venus Razor $7 used $2 q & will get $5 back

(**This was not the exact razor shown in the ad OR the rebate form, and there was no sale tag up, but it DID ring for the sale price, and neither the ad nor the rebate listed a specific one- they just said "Gillete Venus"**)

OOP: $19.01 w/tax- should get back $19.27

Saved: $3.75
