June 11th....K-Mart Unilever CAT Deal

So when SIL was shopping in the wee hours of the morning on Monday at KMart, she took advantage of a CAT promo from Unilever. Spend XXX amount and get a Cat good OYNO for XXX amount.
Hmmmm.....

Daughter & I had planned to do a Lemon Cleanse this summer. This is our frugal, low cost version of the "jump-on-a-jet-to-a health-spa-in-Thailand, drink laxative teas and take herbal enemas & relieve yourself into a colander over the toilet" $100 a day Vacation that's all the rage with the health obsessed peeps & the body-hating/self-image celebrity set.

I had been thinking about doing some kind of pre-Cleanse dieting for a couple of weeks to get ready for this internal flush thing.
I noticed that Slim-Fast products were part of the CAT Promo. Even better, K-Mart had Slim-Fast on sale AND I had a stack of nice value SF Qs that K-Mart would be nice enough to DOUBLE for me!
Double Hmmmm.....

So I just had to go buy this.....

4x Edge Shaving Gel @ $1.99 ea.=$7.96**These were from Monday. We weren't sure what coupon limit would be enforced(10, 25 or 75)so SIL had fewer items, so I put these Shaving Gels in her cart and gave her my 4 coupons for them. the doubled coupons made them free. I put them in this picture/on this post because I don't have pictures of all the Slim Fast I bought. It's tucked away with the toilet paper stockpile and I'm not lugging all those heavy boxes out for anyone.lol

9x Slim-Fast Drinks on sale @ $5.99 ea.=$53.91**Not pictured**
1x Bic Razors @ $5.29=$5.29

$59.37-$34.20=$25.17OOP

$25.17
Savings of 57.5% BUT.....I got a $14 CAT. Yay!.....free money to roll into more free stuff!!!

I promised SIL I'd take her to CVS and WAGS today, so off we went.

At WAGS, I did 2 Transactions, since I had RRs expiring on Sat.

WAGS
Transaction #1

2x Chips Ahoy Cookies @ $2.50=$5.00

$18.46-2.65-$14.00=$1.81OOP on Gift Card
Received RRs...$3(Chips Ahoy), $2 (Purex)

Ok, call me crazy but.....notice that yet again, I had 7 items & the register only let me use 6 Qs/RRs in my payment. I tried again to use a $1 Bic RR but the register beeped. I bought no Bic products, used no other Bic Qs and if that $1 was deducted from my total, the OOP would still have been more than the tax I owed.
So what's the deal WAGS?!?!

Transaction #2

1x Purex 3-In-1 Detergent @ $5.99
3x Socks @ $1.00 pr.=$3.00

I am now convinced that Wags has reprogrammed their computers to accept 1 coupon/register reward LESS than the total # of your items.
