Since our Sunday inserts didn't get that $4/1 Nivea Q the Sunday before last, I ordered whole inserts off of eBay. Couldn't find anyone there selling JUST the Nivea Q that didn't require a second mortgage on the house. 8-(
They came pretty fast but I was just too danged lazy or busy or sick or a combo of all to get my keester up to Rite-Aid until Saturday(the last day of the sale on the Nivea Body Wash). And then I spent a good chunk of my day hitting Rite-Aids in between taking #2 son to look for new pants.
Between the Nivea Qs and the Benadryl Qs($5 off 2) and spending at least $20 at a pop so I could use the AdPerks VV Qs $5 off $20 purchase, I did quite well.

Ok, the Cherries are because the Nivea rang up $3.50 instead of $3.99 and I was going to be negative if I used my last $1/$10 Q. So I added 1 cherry and I didn't think about that blasted 20% Wellness discount bringing this price down too low, so I had to add another cherry.lol
I was able to use that $1/$10 Pain Reliever Q on the 3 boxes of Benadryl because I bought Benadryl with Pain Reliever in it(the sinus or cold plus type). Regular Benadryl doesn't work for this.

And I qualified for SCR #52(Eos Lip Balm)=$2.00 Rebate
**Between the coupon overage for the Motrin ($4.39-$6= -$1.61)& the $1 in Nivea Q overage, I had $2.61+ the $5 AdPerks $5 off $20 'credit' toward my bill in this transaction.
So the Motrin was free, the Nivea was free and I put $3.78 of that credit toward the 2 Benadryls' cost.
After 'paying' for all those items, I still had $3.83 in overage to spend, so I bought the Lip Balm for $2.63. After that I still had $1.20 in overage to spend, so I added the iced teas @ $1.58 as we were thirsty. $1.58-$1.20 'overage'=$.38 OOP.

So... I'm sure the people there know you by now. Do they grin when you come back in after each trip inside?
ReplyDeleteMcVal--Well I frequent multiple Rite-Aids as we are lousy with Rite-Aids here, but I AM on a first name basis with a lot of the clerks at the RA in Teeny Tiny Town. If there are no lines and I want to do multiple trans. at my local store I just do them one after another instead of going out and coming back in. They don't mind at all and I always ask if it's ok first too.
ReplyDeleteI guess I have no shame...lol
Excellent!!! I didn't even think about ordering the whole insert to get the $4/1 Nivea coupon (duh) - I saw, as you did, the individual coupons going for exhorbitant prices on ebay and figured I didn't need the stuff all that much. And great on getting the overage. One clerk just scans coupons regardless, but the gal I had for my 3 transactions last week was meticulous about making sure to adjust down everything :( I know that's the policy, but still - overage is fun!
