It's a great week to be shopping at Rite-Aid(sorry Cousin Sonya!).
Since College Boy had taken my car last weekend to go do some recording with his college band I had Hubs take me up to Rite-Aid on Sunday to start doing the Deals this week there.
I maxed out the Dove/Tresemme/Suave/Axe Deal Spend $12 Get $4(Limit of 2 Deals)and the Spend $30 on "Starting Points" Items, Get $10 in Bonus Plenti Points(Limit of 2 Deals per week). I also did the Nexus Deal "$10 in PPts. wyb2" and the Spend $30 on Select Clairitin/Afrin/Alka-Seltzer/Bayer/Etc. Items Get $10 in PPts. Deal. I did those last 2 Deals 1 x each. All "regular" Deals I did also double dip with the Bonus Spend $30/Get $10 Deals as I only bought "Starting Points" items within those regular Deals.
Get it? ;-)
I also used 2 of my $1/1 Bic writing tool ManuQs to get free pens as select Bic items are $1 this week.
Here's the haul on my card...........
This was done in two transactions since the Afrin Qs are limited to 4 of the same Q per transaction.
2 x Nexxus
3 x Dove Poos
1 x Dove Men's BodyWash
4 x Suave Gold
5 x Afrin
2 x Bic pens
Everything came to $70.45 before Qs & tax.
I had $35.98 in ManuQs to use.....a Q for each item.
$70.45-$35.98=$34.47 + .76¢ tax=$35.23
When we were grocery shopping with Eldest son in Walmart while in Virginia there was a demo person giving out samples of various dips you could make for NYE. She also was giving out recipe/coupon booklets!
Besides the food Qs there were toiletry Qs!
Notice the rare $2/1 Nexxus Q, the BOGO Suave Gold Q and the $4/1 Vaseline Lotion Q.
I grabbed 5 booklets. The demo person tried to make me take more as her shift was ending....silly me didn't grab ALL of them! lolz
I knew I'll be able to make use of some of these Qs before they expire the end of February! woohoo.
And wouldn't you know--some of these figured into my transactions at Rite-Aid on Sunday(The Nexxus and Suave Gold ones).
I paid my $35.23 OOP with Plenti points so Zero $ spent.
I earned $48.00 in new Plenti points(2 x $10 wyb $30 select items Bonus Deals-everything but the Bic pens qualified for that, $10 wyb2 Nexus, $10 wyb $30 in select Afrin/Bayer/Etc., 2 x $4 wyb $12 in Suave/Dove/Tresemme items)
$35.23 spent down and $48 new earned makes this a $12.77 "moneymaker".
After points earned and coupons--The Afrin was -$2.57 + tax, all the Dove/Suave items were $1.96, the Nexus items were -$2.92 and the Bic items were $0.00.
Throw in the added Bonus $10 in Plenti points x 2 and even AFTER tax we are at -$12.77.
In addition I've already gotten back as of this morning $8 in SavingStar Rebates in my account there($3 wyb2 Dove shampoos, $2 Dove Men's shampoo, $2 Dove Men's Body Wash, $1 Suave Gold product).
This makes these transactions a $20.77 "moneymaker". 8-)
$95.83 regular retail price and I get $20+ for taking it all home.
I love to get paid to buy things, don't you? ;-)
Now I just need to go back and use my son's Plenti card to do some Deals at Rite-Aid later this week.

I have never had the luck at RiteAid that you have. Maybe I should revisit. I tend to do very well at CVS. Happy New Year Sluggy!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you too Sandie!
DeleteI am of the mind if you do well at one drugstore stick with that one.
I tried to do multiple stores but it got crazy and expensive so I stick to the one I know best, R-A.
Impressive!!!
ReplyDeleteSomething we have in common, would you believe that my husband has also been in the studio the past few weeks? I try to be super supportive of his music but I could have shot him when he told me he booked studio time IN DECEMBER! "Okay, honey, I'll just take that out of the virtually non-existent Christmas budget. Love you."
I hope College Boy is recording at a friend's studio...
CB went up to his college. They booked and can use the school's studio for FREE when they are not in session. Nice, right? But I only wish the college was closer and he didn't have to use my car. lolz
DeleteOh, the joys of living with a serious musician.... 8-(
You do so well. I overbought on after Christmas sales at Target, but they had the Giardelli candy cane and chocolate, only at Christmas both mini and the larger squares at 50% off, still over $2,00 a bag, but better than $4,50 a bag, and so delicious and we stretch them out for a good month through January for treats. Also had red and white M&M's for $1.50 a bag, only 10 ounces, but still the right colors for some Valentine baking-I'm so crafty. Also bought gift bags, sorry Sonya Ann, for 70% off. I suck at wrapping odd shaped presents and we reuse gift bags in my own and extended family so these will be around for years.
ReplyDeleteI got red and white M&M's at Rite-Aid for .72¢. Yes, I am a brat. lolz
DeleteI did buy some after Xmas items for gifts for 2016 Xmas, so 2016 Holiday spending has already begun!
I don't even TRY to get to Target after Xmas because here it's a ZOO and by the time it gets past 50% off there is nothing left.
I did go to Walmart and various Rite-Aids though.
