About The Giveaway, Ibotta Weekend Warrior Bonus, Weis & Rite-Aid

Ok, some of ya'll must think I have magical powers.
I'm a savvy shopper but do you really think I got all this for $1-$5 total?........



Dang!  I wish!! 
Now if it had been Rite-Aid, weeeeeell...........lolz

Let's see some higher guesses going forward, ok?

Here is the list of what is in the photo.........
4 x Dove men's gift sets
5 x Axe men's gift sets
2 x Dial men's gift sets
5 x Dr. Teal's gift sets
1 x Calgon gift set
1 x Whole Blends mini gift set
1 x Colgate twin pack toothpaste
2 x Suave men's shampoo
2 x Head and Shoulders conditioner
1 x 6 pack Dial soap
2 x DG ladies razor packs
4 x Assorted bottles of body wash(Palmer's/St. Ives/Dial/Nivea)

Regular retail of all this at Dollar General is in the neighborhood of $200.
Of course I didn't spend that after coupons and clearance prices but it wasn't anywhere near $1-$5. ;-)

Everything was marked a % off on clearance(between 10% and 50%)PLUS another 50% off that price for the Clearance Event.  I used $5 in digital DG Qs on 5 of the items, plus since it was bought in two different stores/two different trips I also used 2 x $5 when you spend $25 Sat. Qs.(I bought other things that got me over $25 subtotal but for Giveaway purposes I am applying the whole $5 off $25 Qs just to the items pictured above.)

***************  
I happened to be near Walmart last Friday and there was a $5 Weekend Warrior Bonus on Ibotta so I went to see what I could score with my Ibotta app and my trusty pencil case of coupons.

I think I did fairly well, check it out........



2 x Oui yogurt $1.34=$2.68
6 x Oikos new blue yogurt cups .87¢=$5.22
3 x Grands! biscuit rolls $1.77=$5.31
1 x OEP tortilla pack=$1.74
1 x Knorr's ready to eat rice dish=$1.50
1 x Country Crock "plant" butter w/olive oil=$2.18
1 x Axe body spray clearance=$2.50
2 x Axe solid deodorant clearance $2=$4.00
SubTotal........$25.13

Coupons Used
2 x Oikos $1/3 ManuQ=$2.00
1 x Grands! $1/3 ManuQ=$1.00
Coupon Total....$3.00

$25.13-$3.00=$22.13 +.39¢ sales tax=$22.52 OOP
I earned back $17.13 in Ibotta rebates($2.68 for Oui, $2.50 for Oikos, $1.20 Grands!, .50¢ EOP, .50¢ Knorr's, $1.00 Country Crock, $1 Axe body spray, $2 Axe solid deodorant, .25¢ for buying any yogurt, a .50¢ Bonus for buying 2 different types Axe and the $5 Weekend Warrior Bonus for redeeming 8 Offers.


$22.52-$17.13=$5.39 OOP after rebates for all the items pictured above.

After individual rebates(and the 3 manu Qs I used), the Oui yogurts were free, the Oikos were .37¢ each, the whack biscuits were $1.03 each, the tortillas were $1.24, the Knorr side was $1.00, the margarine was $1.14, the Axe spray was $1.50 and the Axe solid deodorants were $1.00 each.
Then ,25¢ any yogurt, a .50¢ Axe Bonus and $5 for the WW Bonus came off. 8-)))

The only item we won't eat/use is the Knorr ready-to-eat side so that goes into the food bank donation box(and it's the type of thing my FB always asks for along with condiments, kiddies foods and cold cereal).

Speaking of kiddie foods, the Oral-B toothbrush rebate was back in my Ibotta gallery so I hit Weis up and bought this on Sunday........


6 x Spaghettios $1 on sale=$6.00
3 x Oral-B toothbrushes on clearance $1.89=$5.67
SubTotal......$11.67

I used 
2 x $1/3 Spaghettios ManuQs=$2.00
1 x $5/3 Oral-B/Crest items Weis digitalQ=$5.00
Coupon Total......$7.00

$11.67-$7.00=$4.67 paid OOP
I earned back $5 in Ibotta rebates($1 Spaghettios wyb4, 3 x $1 Oral-B, $1 Feb. Level 2)so after rebates this was a .33¢ moneymaker.
Sweet!

The Spaghettios are heading to the food bank with the Knorr side. ;-) 

And while I was out I hit Rite-Aid too on Sunday........


2 x Nivea lip balm on sale=$4.00
I used a $2/2 ManuQ so $2.00 after Q.
I used the last $1 in Bonus Cash on Hubs card to pay and put $1.12 on one of my free R-A gift cards.
I am now down to 2 cards with BC on it(mine and son's)and this is probably the extent of my R-A shopping for this week unless something pops up.

  3. I need to enter still, going to do that right away. I just wanted to say I love that you coupon for the food bank too. We are very rural in a town that was booming decades ago but is not any longer. There are families here that need our food pantry. The state food bank provides a lot and that is wonderful but I know that the woman who runs it is thrilled when she gets little extras to give. I need to step up my couponing game for sure.
