Monday Shopping at CVS & the Rite-Aid Nazi Store

First I hit a Rite-Aid not usually gone to and they had inkjet cartridges for Hubs' printer on clearance for 50% off so I got those.  I was going to combine that with buying multiple tubes of Colgate toothpaste, using a $5/3 Colgate L2CQ and multiple $3/1 In-Ad Rite-Aid flyer Qs(which would make them better than free so I'd use the overage on Hub's ink cartridges), but when I inquired I was told I could only use 1 of the $3/1 Colgate In-Ad Qs.  Totally makes no since since R-A gave me a $5/THREE items L2CQ(manufacturer's Q)to pair with flyer Qs but whatever.  This store wants to be hard ass, so be it.

So this is all I bought(besides Hubs' ink cartridges)........

I tube of Colgate on sale for $3.50, stacking a $3/1 In-Ad RA Q and a .75/1 Colgate IPQ.

I couldn't even use the Colgate toothpaste Q that came in the Sunday inserts since we didn't get .50/1 Qs for it that most every other region got, we got a $1/2 and no, they wouldn't let me get 2 tubes., use that $1/2 Q and use 2 $3/1 In-Ad Qs either. sigh.

Luckily I had a .75/1 Colgate IPQ I had printed off the Colgate website weeks earlier and forgot to use the last time I bought toothpaste, so that gave me .25¢ in overage to apply to Hubs' ink.  He owes me big I tell ya, BIG! lol

Then it was off to CVS because I had a $10 ECB expiring later this week plus a surprise $2 ECB they sent me(I guess to keep me interested in returning to CVS lol)also expiring on Wednesday and with surgery tomorrow I'd be in no shape to use them later but before they expire.

I finally got a couple of CRTs on my account and was able to do this.....

1 x Persil laundry detergent on sale=$4.99

2 x Colgate toothpaste on sale $3.49=$6.98

2 x Crest toothpaste on sale $2.99=$5.98

1 x Schick disposable razors on sale=$5.99

1 x Schick razor on sale=$8.99

SubTotal.......$32.93

I used all digital Qs/CRTs.........

$2/1 Persil DQ

$2 off Colgate Oral Care CRT

$3/2 Crest/Oral-B/Fixodent DQ

$3/1 Schick disposable DQ

$4/1 Schick women's razor DQ

$3/$12 Oral Care CRT

$3/$12 Shaving CRT

Total of $20 in DQs and CRTs.

Then I used my $12 in ECBs leaving me with a balance of .93¢ +.03¢=.96¢ to pay OOP for all 7 items.

I earned back $12.50 in new ECBS($5 Schick wys $15, $3 wyb2 Crest, $4.50 wyb2 Colgate).Spent $12 ECB, got back $12.50 in new ECB and spent .96¢ OOP.  Not free but it all cost me .46¢ really.

These new ones don't expire until Sept. so that's good.

Just a note that I may not be online for a few days(or a week, depending on how I feel after tomorrow)so keep me in your thoughts(happy thoughts only please)and I will be back to blogging soon.
