I had gotten a $5 RR for buying more than $25 in one transaction a couple of weeks ago when I did the Pepsi/Chips Spend $20/Get $10 RRs Deal--though the Deal wouldn't work unless you spent $20.01 at the store here!
That RR was expiring on 2/12 so I printed off the 15% off coupon, grabbed my $19 in RRs(10Pepsi/5for Buying $25/2Vitaminstick/2Vitaminstick) and headed up to Wags after I hit the Weis Market across the street to roll my Cats.
Since I have 4 RRs, I'll have to buy at least 4 items to use them all in the same transaction. If I use any coupons, I'll have to add an item to the order for each coupon I use.
The regular price is followed in bold print by the sale price I paid with the 15% discount.....
1 x Joint Juice Sticks on sale all month=$10.00/$8.50
1 x Schick Razor on sale all month?=$8.99/$7.64
1 x Lypsyl Lip Balm on sale all month=$2.99/$2.54
1 x Super PoliGrip on sale all month=$2.00/$1.70
3 x 3Musketeers Candy Bars on sale 3/$2=$2.00/$1.71
2 x OS Cranberry Juice $2.50=$5.00/$4.24
SubTotal.....$26.33
I have a total of $26.33 on 9 items.
I'll be using 1 cents off coupon....
1 x $1/1 Super PoliGrip=$1.00
And then I'll use all 4 of my RRs=$19.00 so a total of $20 off.
5 coupons/rrs vs. 9 items so the ratio works too.
There are 2 other 'deals' I'll use to bring my total lower.
There was an instant $1 off WYB 2 bottles of Ocean Spray=$1.00 off.
Plus there was a Wags store Q(store Qs don't count in your Q to item ratio) in the weekly flyer making the Candy Bars $.49 ea. which takes another $.24 off the total for the candy bars.
$1+$.24=$1.24 more in discounts.
Added to my $20 in RRs/Qs=$ 21.24 off.
$26.33-$21.24=$5.09+$.83 tax=$5.91 OOP
And I received more RRs....$10 Joint Juice, $3 Schick Razor, $2 Lypsyl, $2 PoliGrip, $1 Candy Bars=$18.00
And I can submit the Schick Razor for a full price rebate(2/7SS), turning this transaction into a $1.73 Moneymaker!
Questions?

"Since I have 4 RRs, I'll have to buy at least 4 items to use them all in the same transaction. If I use any coupons, I'll have to add an item to the order for each coupon I use." I just learned that I need to do this. I made such a mess of one order. I just keep telling myself that this is a learning process and to forgive me!
