Here's the Plan for next week at Rite-Aid....September 20th-26th

 

This is what I am planning for next week at Rite-Aid, September 20-26.

I'll do this in 2 transactions.

Before going to the store-

*Print out the following coupons from Coupons.com
1 x  Rite-Aid $5 off $25 purchase
3 x $2/1 Huggies Diapers(if you have access to 2 computers, if not, print out 2 and then find another Huggies coupon-peelie,in previous package,tearpad,etc. I have a $1/1 q from a Rite-Aid home mailer to use.)


*Go to the Rite-Aid site and view short videos on products to get coupons.  View/print-out the $3 Proantinox coupon, the $3 Clean & Clear coupon, 3 copies of the $2 Huggies coupon and the bonus $5 off $20 coupon.

*Clip these newspaper insert coupons:Finish .75¢, Reese's BOGO(or the .55¢off),Clean & Clear $1/1.
(If you haven't printed off the Clean & Clear q on their website, you can get a $2/1 q to use instead.)

SCR Rebates you qualify for....
$6.99 Proantinox
$1.50 Finish
$10.00 Huggies
$2.00 Pullups

Rebate Total for this week.... $20.49

Plus I'll submit for a rebate through Caregiver's Marketplace for the Huggies products(3 x .75¢)for $2.25,  increasing my rebates by $22.74.

Spent $18.73, getting back $22.74.

Now this is one of those rare cases where I buy stuff purely to get more cash back(the diapers).

Yes, it's a fair amount of work(gathering coupons & shopping) for a $4.01 profit.

But even though I don't NEED diapers,  I now have 3 large packages of them to sell(at $5 a pkg. they should sell quickly).  That brings my profit to $19.01 and I've got all the rest of this stuff for free too!

Kind of makes it more worth the effort, huh? 8-))

And add these purchases of $48.37(before coupons) to my $25.92 purchase this week(so far) and I have 'spent' $74.29 toward a Gift Of Savings, so $5 more gives me a $10 Certificate.  Only $25.71 to go to the $20 Certificate. 

After tomorrow, I'll be $14.75 away from the $20 Certificate when I buy 3 more Johnson's & the Suave Lotion.  I plan on buying $16.68 worth of items the week of 9/27-10/3, which after coupons will cost me $7.68OOP and qualify me for not only the $20 Gift of Savings Certificate but $7.69 in October Single Check Rebates.

It's going to hard to breakdown spending vs. rebates for Sept. & Oct. separately as the Gift of Savings Certificate spans both the month's SCR periods.

Perhaps I'll have to wait and do a Two Month joint accounting of the Rite-Aid spending/rebates.

I don't know about you but even a geek like me is getting a headache from all this.lolol
