Ok, I am so proud of my evil plan this week. It only works because...
1-I can submit an item for SCRs for my BIL
2-I bought 4 packages of the T.P. & 4 boxes of rice by Sunday(to meet a purchased deadline for a rebate) and
3-I have a new Rite-Aid WELLNESS Card(meaning I can use the new Wellness Coupons at Rite-Aid).

**The cashier wouldn't take my $1/1 Crest Toothpaste ManuQ at this store because the 'picture' on the Q wasn't the same as the toothpaste I bought, even though the WORDING on the Q said it was valid on this tube of toothpaste.

1 Welch's Grape Juice
4 boxes of Uncle Ben's Wild Rice
2 boxes of Nabisco Crackers
I paid $28.63 cash for all that.
That's pretty good deal shopping, but now Here is the FUN part!
I will get back in Rite-Aid Single Check Rebates....
$2.69 Crest Toothpaste(full price paid)
$5.00 Planters Nuts(Buy $15/Get $5)
$4.00 Robitussin
$2.69 Crest Toothpaste(BIL)
TOTAL=$14.38
Then I will send for the $5.00 Real Simple Rebate for buying $15 in advertised products(Northern Ultra Plush TP & Uncle Ben's Wild Rice Mix) for both myself and BIL's address=$10.00 REBATE.
AND...I have purchased 10 Kraft/Nabisco participating items(8 Nuts at Rite-Aid/2 Crackers at Weis) for the "Put the Jingle in Your Holidays Rebate"=$10.00 REBATE.
$14.38+$10.00+$10.00=$34.38 in REBATES Minus $28.63 OUT OF POCKET=$5.75 OVERAGE.
$91.79 Worth of Products and I'm getting PAID $5.75 to buy them.
Now the extra 4 jars of Planters I bought on the Northern TP receipt, if I want, I can buy another 4 jars and submit for a second $5 Planters SCR under BIL's name, but that would actually add $1.88 to my OOP, so I think 12 jars is plenty for now.lol

So what are you planning to get at Rite-Aid this week?
I'm off to take another pain pill and lay down. My jaw is actually feeling more sore on Day 3 after the extraction. Dentist said that was to be expected though. Hoping tomorrow I start feeling on the upside of this whole ordeal...
Sluggy
That was so fun to read! I don't actually think I'll get into anything that complicated (or that rewarding) - I just need TP so the Quilted Northern thing will definitely happen. And we need more vitamins (we should be SO much healthier than we are given all the vitamins we ingest), and if they still have any of the Crest toothpaste left tomorrow, I'll get that too :) I just love reading all your transactions then how much you get paid to take all that stuff home!!
ReplyDeleteI know a way to save more on toilet paper than any coupon or special. This covers all the bases = saves you money, helps the environment, helps your health, makes you feel better, it's so easy to do and it costs less than $50.00; Save money and the Earth and be clean at the same time! Add Bathroom Bidet Sprayers to all your bathrooms. I think Dr. Oz on Oprah said it best: "if you had pee or poop on your hand, you wouldn't wipe it off with paper, would you? You'd wash it off” Available at www.bathroomsprayers.com with these you won't even need toilet paper any more, just a towel to dry off! Don’t worry, you can still leave some out for guests and can even make it the soft stuff without feeling guilty. It's cheap and can be installed without a plumber; and runs off the same water line to your toilet. You'll probably pay for it in a few months of toilet paper savings. As for water use a drought is always a concern and must be dealt with prudently but remember the water use of industrial users far exceeds the water use of household users and in the case of toilet paper manufacture it is huge. The pollution and significant power use from that manufacturing process also contributes to global warming so switching to a hand bidet sprayer and lowering your toilet paper use is very green in multiple ways.
