Dec. 26th Rite-Aid & Weis Spending

Ok, first the Rite-Aid shopping........

I got an Oral-B toothbrush that was on sale for $3 and was suppose to give back $2 in Plenti Points.
Well I had two different Load2Card Qs on this account(one for $1 off, one for $2 off)an Oral-B toothbrush.
Both coupons came off making it free! lolz
And I received no Plenti Points for the purchase as you may be able to see on the receipt.
WTF?
Not sure whether I'll call Corporate to protest not getting my PPs or not since if the $1 L2CQ had come off AND I had received my PPs it would be free and it was free after both Qs came off anyway.   I may just call this one all good.   8-)))

Then I went to Weis to get more inexpensive coffee and found some meat instant sticker discount deals too............

4 x 8 O'Clock coffee BOGO=$10.98
Used $6 in stacked Qs + one of my MM OJ $2 Catalinas on those and paid $2.98 OOP for all 4 bags.
2 x packages of brats(1 buffalo chicken flavor, 1 spinach and feta flavor)on sale for $4 each had $2 off stickers on them, so $2 per package.
2 x sliced boneless chicken breast(will use for enchilada filling)had $3 off stickers on it so $1.94 and $2.39 per package for almost 2.07 lbs. total or $2.09 per lb.
3 x packages of boneless pork chops, regular price totaled $24.51, on sale for $13.60-3 x $2 instant stickers($6 off)=$7.60 for 4.34 lbs. of pork or $1.75 per lb.

4 more bags of 8 O'Clock coffee that Hubs picked out, using the last of my stacked coupons meant I paid $4.98 for this lot of coffee.  I also got a $2 Ibotta rebate on the Infusions type bag so $2.98 OOP for these 4 bags.  Nice.

This will most probably be the last $ I spend in 2017 on food things so I'll get my December food spending totals done this weekend and posted a bit early.

Rite-Aid & Weis This Week

I forgot to mention this second trip to Rite-Aid last week Friday afternoon...........

More of those .88¢ Snapple drinks which earned me back $2 in new Plenti Points, a couple of Daylogic razors and blade refills I had rain checks for from earlier in the year which were free after Plenti Points earned so I got them free on the rain checks.
$3.63 w/tax and earned $2 back in Plenti Points so I spent down PPs by $1.63.
The catalina machine spit out a $2/1 Gillette save gel on that transaction so I bought a Gillette shave gel and a .69¢ candy bar since the shave gel was $1.79 on sale and the $2 CatalinaQ would have made me negative .21¢.  After .11¢ tax this transaction came to .59¢ which I paid for on a gift card.


I quick trip to Rite-Aid to pick up an Rx this Wednesday and this stuff too.......

I also found these 3 Bob Evans fridge sides, reg. $4, on sale for $3 each with $2 discount stickers on each.  I also had a $1/3 Bob Evans ManuQ so $9 on sale -$7 in Qs/discounts stickers=$2.00 for all 3 packages.

Shopping This Week

Here's the little bit of shopping I did since last Thursday.

While in Virginia over the weekend I picked up a few things to bring home...........

Some Walmart brand mayo when we did grocery shopping with Eldest son.
Hubs and I hit Ollies(Good Stuff Cheap!)while Eldest was working on Friday and I picked up some applesauce and mandarin orange cups and 2 bags of rice.
Then on the ride home we hit a Food Lion along the way to look for discounted meat deals and I picked up 4 containers of bouillon cubes for cheaper than I can find them for at home.

I also got a pork butt for $1.29 lb...............

I would have bought more(3 more I think)if we had brought the large cooler with us, but alas, we only have the small handheld one.
I want to smoke some butts, cut them to size and then put them into the chest freezer.  That way, we can have barbecue pork anytime we want this Fall/Winter.  You just can't smoke outside here once teh cold hits.  My smoker isn't electric, it's charcoal so the wind and cold keep you from regulating the smoking temperature.

Moving on.........

On Tuesday I had to go to Rite-Aid for drugs so I also picked these up.......

2 x Daylogic 3 blade razors on sale$5=$10.00
Add tax of .60¢ and this came to $10.60 which I paid for with PPs.
I earned back $10 in Plenti Points so .60¢ spent down in points for two razors.

The local Shursave market had a One Day sale(today)so I stopped in and picked up a few things..........

Their private label Greek yogurt was .50¢ a cup today only so I picked up 10.  I get the plain ones and use them to mix with sour cream in recipes(and dips)to bring calorie count and fat content down.  I also use these for breakfast, with the additional of a little honey or fruit and granola and flax seed.  I find the already fruited ones just too sweet.
The turkey breast are half price all week, .99¢ lb. with a limit of 2.  This makes for a cheap protein for dinners.

Cauliflower heads were .99¢ today only and the broccoli crowns were .99¢ all week.  The barbecue sauce was free with the e-coupon attached to my store card.

I am hoping to find a good deal on pork butts/shoulders this weekend or early next week as I'll be smoking said butts/shoulders then.
It looks like no tomato canning or relish making will happen this year.  We missed the peak of tomato picking at the farm we go to since we were gone the end of last week and the weekend.  I could still pick peppers for relish but I am just not "into" it right now.

I haven't been sleeping well so I am going to go attempt a nap, if the construction workers building a massive garage down the road stay on break long enough for me to conk out.

Did y'all find any good loss leaders at the stores this week?

Last Week Rite-Aid & This Week at Weis(PMITA)Markets

So like I said I'd probably do, I went back to Rite-Aid last Saturday and did another round of dental freebies and the cheap light bulbs..........

After Sale prices/Plenti points earned and Coupons used all 4 Dental items were free and the pack of GE LED light bulbs was $1.35(with tax)paid in Plenti Points.

$18.94-$5.50=$13.44-$3 M and M Deal=$10.44
$10.44 for all 6 items.

I'll be able to sell the diapers for between $5-$6 locally so that brings my total down to between $4.44-$5.44 for the other 5 items I'll keep and use.

Plus there is that Minute Maid OJ Catalina running at Weis until Dec. 31st(buy 5 OJ/Get a $2 Catalina oyno)so I have 2 cartons toward earning another Catalina.

So what good deals did you find recently?

I used $21.01 in Plenti Points to pay and earned back $19.00 in new Plenti Points($1 wyb3 Mentos, $2 Crest toothpaste, 2 x $3 Glide items, $3 Oral-B item, $7 wyb1 GE).
So the Glide products were a .01¢ moneymaker each, the Mentos, toothpaste and toothbrush were all free, the light bulbs cost .99¢ and the tablecloth was .50¢ and I paid .54¢ in tax.(all in PPs of course).

I was going to get another toothbrush but the Load2CardQ didn't come off my card so I just got one toothbrush with the ManuQ I had.

I went back Wednesday morning and got this on my son's card........

1 x GE light bulbs on sale=$7.99

The dental floss/picks were an .18¢ moneymaker, the toothpaste and toothbrush were free, the lightbulb pack was .99¢, the candy was .50¢ per bag and the cookies were .63¢.
I spent down my Plenti Points by $2.91.
I hadn't planned on getting the candy or cookies but the Wellness Wednesday Qs they had were too good not to.  The cookies are for Hubs to have with his coffee and the candy will be put into Xmas stockings come Christmas.

It's strange that when I bought the freebies on my card the Oral-B L2CQ didn't come off(so I couldn't get that second toothbrush(I had a ManQ to get one)but on my son's card the L2CQ DID come off!
Hmmm.

I'll probably go back before this sale week is up on Saturday to get the oral care freebies on Daughter's card too....if anything is left by then.

Since it was Wellness Wednesday(the first Wed. of the month at my store)I brought a few freebie samples home too.........

Toothpaste, arthritis balms and eye vitamins.  Most of this(along with some of all the stuff I actually "bought") will begin appearing in future Giveaway boxes.  8-)))

Frugal Friday......the August 4th Edition

This one will be short as we are on vacation and my brain is sort of scattered with driving and moving around so much.....and being with the dynamo called KIM for the last 7 of 9 days of this road trip adventure. 8-)
There is no "we stayed home and didn't spend" type frugalness this week, sorry.

* We have been able, while traveling alone and staying in motels, to eat only two meals a day on some days.  We stay in motels that served "breakfast" so the cost of one of those two meals is rolled into the price you pay at the motel.  Although each motel has a different definition of "breakfast" so you never know how good or wretched that meal will be. lolz

* I asked Kim, the night before we left her house, to please print me out a coupon for Shopko(a smallish discount department store in her parts). We stopped before leaving Idaho so I could use it to get a few things.  I saved $10 on my $32 order that way and I now have 3 Christmas presents tucked away(well in the car trunk until we get home).

* Speaking of Kim, she took me up to her Rite-Aid to fill a prescription and we both got free or better-than-free light bulbs using the deal this week on GE products.

* Speaking of Rite-Aid, the ones in Idaho sell wine and beer.  I picked up a 6-pack of beer for my kids(both legal drinking age now)and since it was Rite-Aid I also got 20% off on the purchase.  I figured the 20% Wellness discount wouldn't work on liquor but I was wrong.  Go me!

* At one point traveling from Twin Falls to Ashton Idaho we made a stop for lunch with Kim and her Hubs Joel.  They chose Applebee's.  I brought along a gift card so we paid for all our meals and used that gift card which meant only $22+ OOP.  Woohoo!

* There have been so many souvenir temptations along the way.  Overall I have been pretty good about not overspending on them.  Places like Yellowstone Park and the place we were yesterday were fairly outrageous in their prices so I haven't bought much at the big sites/parks/museums.  My best souvenir scores have been at highway travel plaza stores. lolz  I have a soft spot this trip for t-shirts and books it seems.

* I haven't bought any groceries since I haven't been home and haven't been cooking at all!  I have bought some drinks for using while traveling however but that's a small cost compared to buying groceries at home.  At least I am picking up drinks by the 6 pack or at discount places(Big Lots/Walmart)instead of paying $1.89 or so at gas station convenience stores or even more at motel vending machines.

So what did you do that was frugal this week?

My Rite-Aid Run

I bopped up to Rite-Aid for some Rxs and also put together a non-Rx transaction.
The card had a "Spend $30/Get $5 back in Plenti Points" on it.

3 x Suave 'Poo $3 ea. on sale=$9
2 x Garnier Whole Blend 'Poo on sale=$7.00
2 x Right Guard Dry Spray Deo BOGO50%=$10.93
2 x SalonPas Pain Patch BOGO=$2.59
2 x Swedish Fish bags on sale=$3.00
1 x Sweet Stripes mints (rain check)=.99¢
SubTotal..........$33.51

Coupons Used
1 x B2B1Free Suave ManuQ=$3.00
2 x $2/1 Garnier Whole Blends ManuQ=$4.00
1 x $3.50/2 Right Guard Extreme Dry Spray Deo IPQ=$3.50
Coupon Total.....$10.50

$33.51-$10.50=$23.01 +.78¢ tax=$23.79

I used $23.79 in Plenti Points to pay and earned back $15.00 in new PPs($5 wyb $30 Offer, $2 wyb2 Suave, $2 wyb2 Whole Blends, $2 wyb2 Right Guard, $2 wyb2 SalonPas, $1 wyb2 Swedish Fish, $1 wyb Sweet Stripes mints bag)so I spent down my points by $8.79.

Except--
A $3 Load2CardQ also came off(it looks like it was for one of the shampoo brands?)so my total was $3 less(or $20.79 instead of $23.79)or $5.79 spent down in the end.

I also applied for and received a $1.20 Checkout51 cash rebate for buying the Swedish Fish candies and a $1 SavingStar rebate for buying the Right Guard deo, making my spend down now $3.59.

But....and isn't there always a but? lolz........there is a Right Guard Mail-in Rebate to try this new dry spray for free which got mailed out today.
Not sure how much I'll get back on that because A-I bought two and one was half price on sale so do I get back the full price one, the half price one or an average of what I paid for both? and B-the rebate form says they deduct any coupon used on the item on what they send you back, but the Q I used on these items isn't identified on the receipt so how will they know of the four Qs on the receipt if one was used on this product?
Good luck on them figuring this out! lolz
So I'll either get back $7.29, $5.46, $3.64, $3.79, $1.96 or .14¢. 8-)

Whatever it is will be fine.  I'll either have a nice moneymaker here or I'll have spend down as much as $3.45 in PPs.

I had almost $100 in points on this card so I can afford whatever happens. ;-)

What good deals have you gotten this week or plan to get this week?

Back to Rite-Aid for a Little More

So I printed off 4 coupons plus brought up 2 coupons I forgot to use on Friday's trip.......

I had 2 x $2/1 Qs for the Max Freeze I "bought" on Friday so the cashier did a "post-coupon" transaction and I got $4 cash back for them

Then I "bought" 2 more V-8 drinks for .88¢ each and 2 boxes of Advil PM, which came to $7.99 each after 20% Wellness discount.
$17.74 and then I used $12 in Qs(2 x $3/1 Advil PM stacked with 2 x $2/1 In-Ad Advil PM Qs, 2 x $1/1 V-8 drinks)

$17.74-$12=$5.74 + .11¢ tax=$5.85
I used $5.85 in Plenti Points to pay and earned back $1 in new PPs($1 wyb2 drinks)so I spent down PPs by $4.85.

But there are $5 worth of Advil PM cash rebates on SavingStar I had activated so in the end, I converted PPs to cash and got paid .15¢ to bring $22.36 worth of goodies home.
Plus $4 back from Friday's trip.

Rite-Aid Moneymakers This Week

I combined a free coupon, 3 cash rebate offers, 2 "try me free" rebate offers with other coupons and sale prices and a gloriously mucked up transaction at the register to buy all this at Rite-Aid on Tuesday.........

First off the Blizzard Points qualifying items--

1 x Schwarzkopf Gliss shampoo 20% wellness disc.=$5.83
1 x Schwarzkopf hair color 20% wellness disc.=$8.79
2 x Purex detergent on sale=$3.98
2 x Finish dishwashing tabs on sale BOGO=$6.79
1 x Coke 12 pack on sale=$4.99
SubTotal.....$30.38

Now the non Blizzard Points items--
2 x Noxema razors on sale=$5.98
3 x Colgate toothbrushes/toothpaste on sale=$10.50
SubTota....$16.48

SubTotal ALL....$46.86

Coupons Used
1 x $2/1 Schwarzkopf shampoo ManuQ=$2.00
1 x $3/1 Schwarzkopf hair color ManuQ=$3.00
1 x $1/2 Purex detergent ManuQ=$1.00
1 x Free Coke 12 pack Q(mycoke rewards)=$4.99
2 x $2/1 Noxema razors IPQ=$4.00
3 x $2/1 Colgate item RA in-ad Q=$6.00
3 x .75¢/1 Colgate item IPQ=$2.25
Coupon Total..........$23.24

$46.86-23.24=$23.62 + .82¢tax=$24.44

I also had 2 Plenti points offers/coupons that had printed on older receipts to use-1 for $2 in PPs wyb 1 Purex(x 2)and 1 for $2 in PPs wyb $10 in Oral Care items in 1 transaction.
Neither of these worked when the cashier scanned them(or so we thought)so she just took of 3 x $2 off my order, which turned the total into this..........$24.44-$6.00=$18.44, which I paid for with Plenti Points.

When I got home I saw that I had earned back $14 in Plenti points--$2(2 x $1 wyb Noxema razors), $10 wyb $30 of Blizzard point items and another $2 wyb $10 in Oral Care.

So it looks like the register DID take the $2 Oral Care PPs Q so I ended up getting it twice thanks to the cashier. 8-)

So we are at $18.44-$14 in new PPs=$4.44 "down" in PPs.

BUT......
The hair color and shampoo also qualified me for cash rebates-
$2 on the 'poo in SavingStar
$3 on the hair dye in Savingstar
$2 on the hair dye in Checkout51(which I have already sent for as it expires today)
For a total of $7 cash back from these sources.
* There is also a Spend $25/Get $5 Back Purex Deal in Savingstar(which my Purex purchase qualifies for)but I doubt I'll finish that one and receive that rebate.

PLUS.....
There are two Try Me Free Offers on both the Schwarzkopf items that runs through the end of 2017
These offers are full price after any coupons used in the transactions.
And yes, I broke my transaction into two transactions just so I would have two receipts to send for each of these rebates.  ;-)
So I'll get another $3.83 for the 'poo($5.83 paid-$2Q)and $5.79 for the hair color($8.79-$3Q), so $9.62 total in cash back.

Let's recap.
Spent in PPs after paying....$4.44
Total cash back from all offers....$16.62
Results......a $12.18 moneymaker!

I love getting paid to bring things home from Rite-Aid. 8-)))

Rite-Aid Visa Debit Card Deal

I did the "Spend $30/Get a $15 Visa Debit Card" Deal on January 22nd.  Got the code to send for the Visa card that afternoon and the actual cards came on that following Saturday, January 28th.

Man! That was fast.  Generally sending away for anything takes weeks.

This was just a way to turn Plenti points into Visa gift cards. When all was said and done, I spent no money out of pocket, just points to get these Visa cards.
This makes the monies more flexible as these can be used anywhere that takes Visa debit/gift cards and Plenti points have a much narrower range of stores.

Except if you look at the expiration dates on the cards it's the end of March 2017.
Plenti points are good for two YEARS!
Ugh.
Well it's only $30 total on these and it won't take me 2 months to spend it all so it's all good.

What I Bought This Week at Rite-Aid

First off I had a Load2Card Q for "Spend $20 in Rite-Aid Branded Items, Get $5 Off Your Order" attached to two of my Plenti cards.

Daylogic(a R-A brand)razor blades are $8 and give back $8 in Plenti Points this week(limit 2 offers per card).
DreamHouse candies are also a R-A brand.

So I bought this...........

2 x Daylogic razor blade refills on sale=$16.00
2 x Dream House Jordan Almonds BOGO50%=$4.48
SubTotal......$20.48

The $5 off $20 L2CQ came off....
$20.48-$5=$15.48+.72¢ tax=$16.20

I paid with $16.20 in Plenti points and earned $16 in new Plenti points back.
So all this "cost" me .20¢ in Plenti points.

The Daylogic refill blades fit the Gillette Mach3 handles and way cheaper than the Gillette Mach3 refill blades.
Daughter loves Jordan Almonds so I have already started collecting goodies for Christmas of 2017.  8-)))

My R-A only had 2 packs of blades so I'll try another location to see if I can do this deal again on my son's card(which also has the Spend $20/Get $5 off Q attached to it)to get razor blades and candy for .20¢ in points.

Sunday's Rite-Aid Haul Porn

So first on my son's Wellness card I did this.........

4 x Huggies diapers on sale $8.99=$35.96
2 x GE lightbulbs on sale $7.99=$15.98
SubTotal.........$51.94

Coupons Used
4 x $3/1 Huggies IPQ=$12.00
2 x $2/1 GE lightbulbs ManuQ=$4.00
Coupon Total.......$16.00

$51.94-$16.00=$35.94 + $.72 tax=$36.66

I used $36.66 in Plenti points to pay and earned $30.00 in new Plenti points($20 for buying $50 in Starting Points items and $10 for buying 2 x GE lightbulbs-the lightbulbs double dip on 2 deals).
And I earned a $10 CatalinaQ for spending over $30 on Huggies diapers.
So a bit of a moneymaker if I can roll that Catalina into another deal.

So then I bought all this, basically the same transaction, on my card......

4 x Huggies diapers on sale $8.99=$35.96
2 x GE lightbulbs on sale $7.99=$15.98
SubTotal.........$51.94

Coupons Used
4 x $3/1 Huggies IPQ=$12.00
2 x $2/1 GE lightbulbs ManuQ=$4.00*
1 x $10 CatalinaQ=$10.00
Coupon Total.......$26.00

$51.94-$26.00=$25.94 + $.85 tax=$26.79
I don't know why the tax was different this transaction as I bought the same items?!?

I paid with $26.79 in Plenti points and earned back $30.00 in new Plenti points.
And I earned another $10 CatalinaQ for the Huggies purchase.

$63.45 spent in Plenti points.
$60.00 earned in new Plenti points and 1 $10 CatalinaQ for my next trip.

When I was selling off some of my toiletries stash last Summer to make more room in the house for the arrival of Daughter and the BF, I found that I could easily sell packs of diapers for $5-$6 per package.  So why not pick up more diapers if I can get them basically free or for pennies and sell them and make a profit?
Every little bit of cash coming into my household is a good thing.....

2 More Rite-Aid Hauls from Saturday

I decided to do some transactions on my Wellness/Plenti card too on Saturday. (I used my son's card/account earlier in the week.)

I had activated a random offer on my Plenti card through Plenti dotcom.  This was for $8 back in points when you spent $40 in one transaction.  This offer was good for two transactions.

This $8 offer can be combined with the Spend $50/Get $20 in PPs which just made buying some things I was wavering on since they weren't free after points a moneymaking proposition.

First trancastion was this one....

4 x Pantene Shampoo on sale=$15.96*

1 x Pantene Conditioner on sale=$3.99

1 x Pantene 3 minute miracle Conditioner on sale=$3.99

2 x Centrum gummies on sale bogo50%=$13.93

2 x Finish dish tabs on sale bogofree=$8.29

2 x Snickers candy bar on sale=$1.38

SubTotal......$47.54

*My 20% off Wellness discount was 1 cent lower than the sale price of $4.*

Coupons Used

2 x $5/3 Pantene ManuQ=$10.00

2 x $4/1 Centrum gummies ManuQ=$8.00

1 x $2/1 Finish tabs ManuQ=$2.00

2 x .50¢/1 Snickers IPQ=$1.00

Coupon Total......$21.00

$47.54-$21.00=$26.54 + $1.23 tax=$27.77

I used $27.77 in Plenti points to pay and earned back $8.00 in new Plenti points.

I needed a few more dollars of spending($2.46)to get to $50 in Starting Points items to get my $20 in Plenti points back, so I bought this.......

4 x Snickers candy bars on sale=$2.76

I used 4 x .50¢/1 Snickers IPQ for $2 off so paid .76¢ on my free R-A gift card(since I couldn't use Plenti points on a total under $2).

And my $20 in Plenti points generated since my total spent was now $50.30 for both transactions.

$28.53 "spent" in total and $28 in new Plenti points earned.

I now had .30¢ to carry over to get to $50 in spending again to earn another $20 in Plenti points.

So I did this transaction..........

2 x L'Oreal hair color 20% Wellness discount=$15.18

2 x Jergens we moisture lotion on sale bogo50%=$11.23

1 x Vaseline lotion 20% Wellness discount=$3.75

2 x Suave gold shampoo on sale=$5.98

2 x Centrum vitamints on sale=$13.93

SubTotal........$50.07

Coupons Used

1 x $5/2 L'Oreal hair color RA in-adQ=$5.00

2 x $2/1 L'Oreal hair color IPQ=$4.00

2 x $3/1 Jergens wet moisture ManuQ=$6.00

1 x $2/1 Vaseline lotion ManuQ=$2.00

2 x $1/1 Suave gold item ManuQ=$2.00

2 x $4/1 Centrum Vitamints ManuQ=$8.00

Coupon Total.........$27.00

$50.07-$27.00=$23.07 + $1.14 tax=$24.21

I used $24.21 in Plenti points to pay and earned back $28.00 in new Plenti points($20 for spending $50 on Starting Points items and $8 for spending $40 in a single transaction for the Plenti Offer on my account).

I was also going to submit for $4 in Checkout51 cash rebates($1 each for 1 Pantene shampoo, 1 Pantene conditioner and 1 Pantene 3 minute miracle conditioner plus a bonus $1 rebate for submitting 3 "Game Day" rebates)but by Saturday evening all those rebates available had been claimed.

crap.

Instead of a $7.79 moneymaker transaction(after points and cash rebates)this transaction was only a $3.79 moneymaker.  

I also have 4 boxes of hair coloring to sell on the local FB site so anything gotten from that is just more gravy.  ;-)

Now I am off to work on writing up what I bought at Rite-Aid this morning.  More great deals(and free stuff)from this week's ad!

My Rite-Aid Haul This Week

At first I didn't find anything exciting(read free or cheap)at Rite-Aid this week.
But that changed on Wednesday.

I had to go out to my last dr. appointment on the year(and get a break from my Invalid for awhile)so I hit Rite-Aid.

I had gotten this Catalina on eldest son's card recently......

Earn 500 Plenti Points($5)when you spend $50.
I didn't think I'd be using this Catalina but a couple of deals came up.

Everything in the photo was done on two different cards.....

On eldest son's card I bought--
4 x I-Caps vitamins BOGO50% (3 were $16.79 reg. retail, 1 was $22.99 reg. retail)=$56.56
1 x Garnier shampoo on sale=$3.49
8 x Renewal/Daylogic hand soap BOGOFree($2.29 reg.)=$9.16
SubTotal.......$69.21

Coupons Used
4 x $10/1 I-Caps vitamins(any size)IPQ=$40.00
1 x $2/1 Garnier shampoo ManuQ=$2.00
Coupon Total......$42.00

$69.21-$42.00=$27.21+ .64¢ tax=$27.85
I used Plenti Points to pay so Zero OOP.

I earned $29.00 in new Plenti Points($5 wyb $50, 2 x $8 wyb2 I-Caps, 4 x $2 wyb 2 Renewal/Daylogic hand soap), making this transaction a $1.15 moneymaker.

Supposedly there is/was a Garnier shampoo SavingStar rebate for $2 but I don't have it in my offers.  If I had it that would have made the Garnier purchase a $.51 moneymaker and the transaction a $3.15 moneymaker.
I thought I had it when I bought the shampoo so I might return it(as I don't "need" another bottle of shampoo)and it's purchase was not required to get me over $50 in the transaction to get those bonus $5 in PPs.

I then used my other card to purchase 8 more bottles of hand soap.  After points earned and tax paid of .55¢ all 8 bottles "cost" me $1.71 in Plenti Points on that Wellness card.

The eye vitamins are something we can use since Hubs has had an eye issue for the last 1.5 years.  Couldn't hurt to pop one of these every day, right?

That's all I got this week.

More Rite-Aid From Last Week & Stolen Gift Cards

Well you can't replicate these Deals since they ended Saturday evening but here is a second trip/transaction I did at Rite-Aid on Friday.........

I did the M&M's double dip Plenti points again and the Spend $30 Vitamins/Get $10 in Points Deal.

3 x M&M's sale $3=$9.00
5 x assorted Centrum Vitamins sale $6.99=$34.95
2 x Herbal Essence shampoo sale $2.50=$5.00
SubTotal......$48.95

Coupons Used
1 x Spend $20/Get $2 off Transaction Rite-Aid CatalinaQ=$2.00
1 x $1.50/2 M&Ms IPQ=$1.50
5 x $4/1 Centrum vitamins IPQ=$20.00
1 x $4/2 Herbal Essence ManuQ=$4.00
Coupon Total........$27.50

$48.95-$27.50=$21.45 + .05¢ tax=$21.50 OOP

After receiving $16 back in new Plenti Points this transaction would "cost" me $5.50 + $16 in current Plenti Points.
So I wanted to use one of the 2 Rite-Aid gift cards I had bought last year right before Christmas.
Last Holiday Season there was actually a deal one week where buying a R-A branded card got you free Wellness/Plenti points.  They hardly ever offer points when buying R-A cards, just name brand cards for other businesses so I had jumped on this Deal.

My 2 cards were totally unused(by me)until this moment.
So I swipe the first card and the register tells the cashier this gift card has no money on it.
Tried again, same result.
So I swipe the second card and the same result.....no money left on this card.

I am stymied.
The cashier says I'll have to call corporate and find out what is going on.
Ugh!

So a call on Saturday happens.  The CS person runs the card numbers and says these cards were used in full this past March at a store in California.
WTF?!?
She is told we haven't been to California since 1969 and live in Pennsylvania so these charges are fraudulent.
Evidently the card number was stolen and put onto a new fake card where they were used on the left coast.

She continues to say that they had a large batch of R-A gift cards with stolen information last Christmas season.  It looks like it was either an inside job within Rite-Aid(shipping/distribution area before the physical cards were sent to individual stores)or someone got a hold of the information at the facility that manufactured the cards.
Anyway, a new card with both amounts combined is being mailed to me and hopefully this time the card information is secure.

*Rite-Aid has since last year changed their gift cards to include a pin number(under scratch-off material)on the physical card which you need to use the card online and these cards are harder to fake with that feature.

As for my transaction above, I also had a prepaid Visa gift card so I put the $5.50 due on that card and used $16 of my Plenti points to cover that $21.50 in charges.
Getting $16 in new Plenti points meant this transaction cost me $5.50 in gift card coin for 2 bottles of shampoo, 3 bags of candy and 5 containers of vitamins.
Still not a bad deal, right?

Have you ever had gift card information stolen?  Tell us about it.

Rite-Aid for Valentine's Day

I meant to go to Rite-Aid Monday but the weather forecast meant I went out in the cold on Sunday night.
I bought this stuff on my card..........

6 x Tresemme Poo and Conditioner on sale $4ea.=$24.00

Coupons Used
I used a $3/15 wyb $15 in any hair care Q that was generated on my receipt earlier in the month=$3.00
And 3 x $3/2 Tresemme ManuQs from that Unilever book I got in VA at Walmart=$9.00
Coupon Total........$12.00

$24.00-$12.00=$12.00+.72¢tax=$12.72.
I used $12.72 in Plenti Points to pay.
I earned $30 in new Plenti Points(2 x $5 wyb3 Tresemme, $20 BPE wyb $100 tracking) so even though I "spent down" $2.72 in Points on the purchase(after I received $10 in Plenti points for buying the Tresemme)that $20 BPE Bonus Points made it ultimately into a $17.28 moneymaker.

I probably won't be doing anymore purchases during the BPE as there is little I see that I can buy that will get me to $150 in BPE tracking that will be nearly free or at least won't cost more than $15 in Points($15 in Points is the next Bonus Level).
There is nothing I NEED to buy there anyway as my toiltries supply is packed at the moment, even after culling out items to add to the Food Bank Donation I have going on at the moment.

Getting free toiletries is great but not if they exceed your storage space. ;-)
In Winter, when I don't travel anywhere and/or have anyone travel to see me here, it's difficult getting rid of some of this stuff, as I have a decade long supply of shampoo at the moment.
The stockpile of this will start to thin out as we get into "Traveling Season" and I get to share my good fortune with family and friends again.  8-)

Frugal Shopping Lately.....Kohl's & Rite-Aid

I had a $10 in Birthday Rewards from Kohl's that was expiring Jan. 31st plus a 20% off Q, so Hubs and I went up to Kohl's on Saturday to look around.
Here's what we got.........

1 x Bob Marley T for College Boy
2 x Vans shorts for College Boy
1 x Men's Dress Shirt for Hubs

After clearance pricing and additional 20% off all 4 came to $16.59.
After using my $10 reward I paid $6.59 for all!

$50 Vans shorts for $1.44 each?  Yes!!
Hubs shirt came out to $1.40 and the t-shirt was $2.31.
I used a tiny portion of a $25 Kohl's gift card I got at Rite-Aid last year(which gave me free Plenti points).

Savings of $161.41.
Yah, like I'd ever pay full retail for this stuff........*snort*

Speaking of Rite-Aid.....and when am I NOT speaking of Rite-Aid....lolz.....

This week starts the Rite-Aid February "Big Point Event"(BPE).  You get Plenti Points at various points along the way to spending $200.  The first threshold is spend $100, Get $20 in Plenti Points.

Here is what I bought so far that count toward the BPE.

4 x Suave Gold 'Poo and Conditioners on sale 2/$6=$12.00

1 x $1/1 Bic writing items ManuQ=$1.00
Coupon Total.....$28.26

$56.96-$28.26=$28.70+$1.12 tax=$29.82

I used $29.82 in Plenti Points and earned $26.00 in new Plenti Points(2 x $4 Dove/Tresemme, 2 x $3 GE light bulbs, $4 Chloraseptic, $8 CeraVe) so I am "down" $3.82 in Points and have $55.96 tracking toward $100 in spending for the first $20 in BPE Plenti points reward.

I also activated Saving Star account rebates for $4.00(.50¢ Axe Deo, $1.50/2 Suave green bottles, $2/2 Suave gold)so my transaction is now a .18¢ moneymaker.  8-)

I went back this morning and got another Chloraspetic drops and 2 Colgate toothpastes.
After sale prices, coupons and tax that order came to $8.21 and I received $8 in Plenti Points back(1 x $4 Chloraspetic, 2 x $2 Colgate).
I now have $66.17 tracking toward the $100 spending.

Then I used my son's card to buy all this.........

All the same deals(though I bought different products for the Unilever/Dove/Tresemme Deal)plus I also bought 2 x Colgate toothbrushes and stacked 2 x $2/1 in-ad Qs with the $1/2 Colgate toothbrush ManuQ from Sunday's paper.
Plenti points used with $1.75 tax......$39.64
Plenti points earned......$26.00

I also will get $6 in rebates from SavingStar($3/2 Dove hair care, $3/2 Noxzema cleaner)so earned the equivalent of $32, spent $39.64 so all this "cost" me $7.64.
I now have $57.89 tracking toward the $100 spending on this card to get the $20 BPE Reward.
I figure as long as I don't "spend" over $12.36 to get $42.11 more toward tracking products all this will be free.  8-)

And here is a little video about what I bought at Weis(PMITA)Markets today as well.
Lots of deals on soup, mac and cheese, chili, gum and condiments using sale prices/deals this week at Weis plus using coupons.
64% savings rate and 10 more gas points?
I'll take it.  ;-)




 What have you gotten for a good price lately?

Rite-Aid Last Week

Well the snow storm thwarted my evil plan as I wasn't able to get to Rite-Aid on Saturday to finish the deals I wanted to do last week.
Rats.

I shared what I bought on my son's card last Sunday(which was a $14.59 moneymaker)but here is what I bought on my card later on this past week.........

I actually did 5 transactions--2 of the cosmetic items in 1, the other cosmetic in a another 1, the air fresheners in 1, 2 x Kleenex with the Vitamints in another 1 and 2 x Kleenex and dish soaps in the last 1.

Each 2 boxes of Kleenex 4-packs generated a $2 OYNO Catalina Q so that's why I broke up those purchases into 2 orders.  2 of the Physician's Formula items have mail-in rebates so that's why I bought those 2 in separate orders.  And the air fresheners where bought first on another day because the store's truck order hadn't come in that week yet so I couldn't do the Kleenex purchases yet as they were out of stock.
See?....there really is a method to my madness.  lolz

Altogether this all came to $64.96 w/tax.
Coupons came to $13.29
$64.96-$16.30=$48.66

I used $48.66 in Plenti points to pay and earned another $32 in new Plenti points(2x $10 wyb $15 Physician's Formula, $10 Bonus Starting Points wyb $30, $2 Kleenex wyb $15), received $3.30 in cash at SavingStar(Renuzit) and will receive $15 in mail-in cash rebates for the cosmetics(Physician's Formula), making this a $1.64 moneymaker AND I still have a $2 OYNO Catalina to spend too.
Deducting the cost of the stamps to mail for the cosmetic rebates and it's still a .74¢ moneymaker.  ;-)

I had plans to do the P&G Deal(earning $20 in Plenti points)on Saturday.  I had to wait a day for the new Plenti points I earned to go "live" from Friday's purchases and when the snow happened well, I didn't get to the store on Saturday.
Rats.
If I had my 2 x Pampers, 2 x Cover Girl eye shadow and 1 Charmin TP pack would have "cost" me $1.90 + tax after sales/Qs/new Plenti points.
Oh well.......

Let's recap all our purchases of last week--

I "bought".....
6 x 12-packs Coke products
2 x 12-packs Charmin
2 x Vitamints
2 x Cover Girl eye shadow
2 x Cover Girl mascara
2 x Palmolive dish soap
4 x Kleenex 4-pack bundles
6 x Renuzit air fresheners
3 x PFormula cosmetic items

And after sales/coupons/rebates/taxes/cost of stamps I "made" $15.33(and a $2 Catalina too)to bring this all home for FREE! 8-)

I'll be laying off of Rite-Aid this week as the Starting Points Bonus Deals are finished for January and the next promo for February doesn't start until next Sunday 1/31.  I'm not real crazy about the next promo as you have to "spend" $100 before the first reward of $20 kicks in.  This promo will be harder to work the deal so that I don't "spend" anything to get my free stuff. 8-)))

Other than buying some gift cards that generate Plenti points this week there isn't anything for me to buy at Rite-Aid until next week.

More Rite-Aid This Week

We went to the town South of here to hit a different Rite-Aid to do the Deals on my son's Plenti card.
The transaction was all kinds of screwed up BUT it was all screwed up in MY Favor so I'm good with that.  ;-)

Here's what I bought.........

2 x Dove poo on sale=$7.00
2 x Suave gold poo on sale=$4.98
1 x Vaseline lotion on sale=$5.99
1 x Axe body wash on sale=$3.99
1 x Axe poo on sale=$3.99
1 x Nexxus conditioner on sale BOGO50%=$10.99
1 x Nexxus poo on sale BOGO50%=$3.49
(They only had 1 Nexxus poo at the $6.99 price point unfortunately.)
SubTotal.......$40.43+ $2.07 tax=$42.50

The Nexxus and Vaseline/Dove/Axe/Suave Deals double dip for their own Deals and with the Bonus Starting Points Deals.

How it should have gone is that I gave the clerk my coupons totaling $15.00, making my new subtotal $27.50(w/tax)which I would have paid with Plenti points and I would earn $28.00 in new Plenti points, making this a .50¢ "moneymaker".

But.......when scanning my Plenti card I elected YES use my points on the screen that came up and then, after the clerk scanned all my items he hit the button to finish the transaction and deduct my points BEFORE I handed him my coupons.
ugh.

So then we had a "post coupon" situation, where the clerk gave me $15 in cash for my fistful of coupons worth $15 I didn't get to use on the actual transaction.

That's fine because I'll just tuck that $15 away and consider it "points" once I exhaust all my accumulated Plenti points on this card.
No harm, no foul.

After getting home I looked at my receipt and saw that $42.50 of Plenti points was NOT deducted for my transaction(which is what my subtotal came to before coupons)but only $36.50 was deducted??
Then I looked closer and saw that $6 in Load2Card coupons had come off the transaction that neither of us had noticed. lolz

So I paid $36.50 in Plenti points and received $15 in cash back for the coupons the clerk didn't apply to my purchases, meaning with getting $28 in new Plenti points on the transaction AND $6 in electronic Qs applied to my bill, my .50¢ moneymaker turned into a $6.50 moneymaker.  8-)

Even better, I received $4 in Saving Star Rebates with this transaction too. ($2 Vaseline, $1 Axe hair, $1 Axe body wash)
This means my .50¢ moneymaker that turned into a $6.50 moneymaker had now turned into a $10.50 moneymaker! 8-)))

These "Starting Points" products bought gave me a $10 Bonus in points and I have tracking $10.43 toward a second $30 purchase for a second $10 Bonus in Plenti points.  Meaning I need to spend just $19.57 in SP products to get $10 more in Plenti points.
And if I buy products that also double dip with other Spend $X Get $X Deals I'll not really spend $19.57 in the end to get $10 in new points.
I now need to figure out how to get that last $19.57 spent the cheapest way without actually spending $19.37. 8-)

Grand Total for this week at Rite-Aid........I am "up" $31.27 combined on both Plenti cards/points/cash so far.
Earlier transaction on my card was a $20.77 moneymaker.
This transaction was a $10.50 moneymaker.

Getting paid to buy stuff rocks!

Sunday at Rite-Aid

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.
