I had 2 Wheat Thins IP Qs to use but they were for $1/1. They beeped as the Wheat Thins were on sale for 99¢. The cashier told me I couldn't use the Qs because they were for the big size boxes.
Um, NO! The Qs had NO size limit on them. She either didn't want to or didn't know or know how to adjust the Qs down manually. This was at a Rite-Aid distant from my town that I had never been in before.
After I accessed the situation, I decided that it was a case of what Glenn Beck would call, "Arguing with Idiots", so I just didn't push it further and took my 2 Qs back. My OOP would have been less than $1 but hey....some times it's worth your sanity & stress levels to just pay the $2 extra and get on with your life. ;-))
So I'm OOP for the 2 Diaper Deal Transactions $2.80. I'll be getting back $10(SCR#4),$6.99(SCR#23)& $1.00(SCR#90)=$17.99.
Total OOP for the month so far...$2.80
Total SCRebates due for the month so far...$33.99
Total Gift of Savings Certificate earned so far...$15.00($9.12 more to spend for the $20 Cert.)
Total CareGiver's Rebate due for 3 Diapers....$2.25
$51.24 gain-$2.80 loss=$48.44 PROFIT
Plus I have 3 jumbo packs of diapers to sell, so at least another $15 potential Profit!
I am considering purchasing $40 worth of Nexus products by Saturday night and submitting for the rebate under my BIL account. Buy $10 in Nexus and you get SCRebate for $5. You can do this rebate 4 times. $40 of Nexxus=$20 Rebate.
Even though I don't have any Nexxus Qs, there are 2 RiteAid AdPerk Qs(a $3 & a $4 one). Buy 4 products totally at least $40 in 2 transactions, use 2 of each AdPerks Qs($14), 2 Rite-Aid $5/25 Qs($10)and use some of the FREE ITEM Qs from my Oral Care Booklet to get my 2 transactions to $25 ea.
$50-approx.$36in Qs=approx. $14OOP with $20 Nexxus Rebates=$6Moneymaker?
I'll run the numbers on this deal some more & see if it's worth doing.
I am so lovin' me some Rite-Aid this month!!

Sluggy, what are you going to do with the diapers? Don't you have larger children? Are these for a donation or something?
ReplyDeleteSorry, I am just not getting the buying-things-I-can't-use-because-I-have-a-coupon thing. Maybe it is my way of backing off bringing things in to my home that don't add to the peace and serenity. I'm not placing judgment just trying to understand. Help a sister out!

ReplyDeleteLike I said before, I usually don't buy stuff b/c I have a coupon. This is a rare case of buying something I won't use to make money. I can turn around and sell these diapers for an additional $15 or so profit. Or I can donate them. I'm part of a list that sponsors a family for the Holidays, so if I don't sell these I can find a family with a baby in diapers and make these part of their holiday package.
That way, my shopping made me some cash(with the coupons/sales/rebates)and gave someone a necessity for their child.
These diapers aren't destined to be part of the landscape of my home at any rate. I hope that clears it up some. 8-)
Clear as crystal! Thanks for the intel. Adding something $$$ to a gift is an awesome idea. And now I don't have to ask the rude question of "Are you pregnant?" That never works out well. Either they aren't and now you have made them feel really bad or they are and now they think you are an idiot for not being able to tell!
ReplyDeleteAbout the pregnant thing....bite your ever lovin' tongue! No 50 yr. old woman wants to hear THAT news!LOLOL
