Another Shopping Win Using Free Gift Cards

I had an hour to kill between dr. appointments yesterday so I picked up a prescription I had transferred to the K-Mart pharmacy and made a quick $25(gift card)for doing this.  This is the 4th gift card I have earned in the last 2 months for transferring rxs to K-Mart.

Then I went shopping in the store for some Xmas gifties.....no worries, nobody in my family reads my blog.....lol......

 

Everything I got was on sale, so this lot cost me $54.96 + .24¢ tax on the Abominable Snowman Ornie=$55.20
Regular Retail is $75.94 + .36¢ tax.
I used 2 of my Gift Cards earned from transferring rxs toward this purchase and spent $5.20 OOP and I saved $21.20 off of reg. retail.

Since I have a "Shop your way" rewards card for K-Mart, I came armed with a "Get 10,000 SYW pts. when you spend $50" Q I got in K-Mart last weekend, so I earned $10 in pts. for this transaction that were good for 48 hours(use 'em within 2 days or loose them).

My daughter is in dire need of new underthings so I went online this morning and bought all this. Unfortunately none of it was on sale but I still did well as you will see............

2x Hanes 6-Pack of Boyshorts  $9.99....................$19.98

3 x Joe Boxer 2-Pack of Bras $16.98 each.............$50.94

1 x Athletech 6-Pack No Show Women's Socks.....$5.99

SubTotal.....................$76.91

This order qualified for free shipping to my daughter as it was over $59.00
I used a $5 off $45 purchase coupon code, bringing the total down to $71.91.
Then I used my $10 in SYW points earned yesterday, making the total $61.91.
I also applied my other $38.65 in SYW points already on my card, making the total now $23.26.
$2.16 in tax was applied to my order(because it was shipping to a state with sales tax on something I bought), making the total $25.42.
I then paid with the 3rd of 4 gift cards I got for transferring perscriptions, so my OOP(put on my credit card)was .42¢.
And I earned 615 more SYW points for this purchase.

In total I bought.....
6 men's undershirts
2 men's t-shirts
1 men's l/s shirt
1 pr. men's slippers
1 Xmas ornie
12 pair of women's panties
6 women's bras
6 pair of women's socks

And I spent $5.62 OOP.

Love it!

What I Bought at Rite-Aid This Week

I had $7 in +Up Rewards to spend/roll.
Here is what I got this week.....
And so you aren't shocked later on in this post, let me tell you I actually SPENT MONEY this week at Rite-Aid! 8-(

15 x Gatorades on sale $1 each=$15.00
2 x Milky Way bars on sale .50¢=$1.00
2 x Extra Gum on sale .99¢ each=$1.98
1 x Gillette Custom 3 Plus disposable razors w/20% disc.=$6.39
1 x Gillette Shaving Cream w/20% disc.=$3.03
SubTotal.....$27.40

Coupons Used
1 x $1/2 Milky War bars IPQ(no longer available)=$1.00
1 x $.50/2 Extra Gum ManuQ(AllYou Magazine)=.50¢
2 x .50¢/1 Extra Gum AdPerks IPQ=$1.00
1 x $2/1 Gillette Custom 3 Plus razors ManuQ(P&G)=$2.00
1 x Buy G. Razors Get Shave Cream Free ManuQ(6/10 insert)=$3.03
Coupon Total.....$7.53

$27.40-$7.53=$19.87 + $.74tax=$20.61

Used my $7 +Ups...$20.61-$7.00=$13.61 OOP

I received back $11 in +Up Rewards.....(2 x $1 WYB5 Gatorades-limit 2, $5 WYB15 Gatorades-montly deal, $4 WYB select Gillette Razors)

Now I know I could have broken this into 2 transactions and paid about $4 less OOP in the end and wound up with $7 +Ups instead of $11 +Ups.
But I was in a hurry to get somewhere else so I bit the bullet and spent $13 instead of $9 OOP when all was said and done.

*With Marching Band camp about a week away, cheap Gatorades(.53¢ each)tempted me.lol

*The candy bars were free so a no brainer.

*The gum was .24¢ a pack so almost free(these will be stocking stuffers).  If you can find the Key Lime Pie flavor of Extra Gum it's ringing up on clearance so would be much cheaper, maybe even free with overage if you have the right coupons.

*The Gillette razors are part of a deal where the $12 and such non-disposable razors are on sale for $9.99 this week AND give a $4 +Ups back on purchase.  This particular disposable package IS pictured with the non-disposable ones on sale AND also gives the $4 +Ups.  At my store this disposable pack is $7.99 reg. retail, so with 20% Wellness discount comes out to be $6.39.  With the $2 Q and $4+Ups, it ends up costing me .39¢ for the package.

*I saw on A Super Savvy Saver that there is a coupon in the 6/10 inserts(Red Plum) you can pair with these razors that will give you a free can of shave cream too.  Thanks Sheila! 8-)
So the razors and shave cream cost me .39¢ OOP.

As of now, my Monthly Rite-Aid Stats for JULY are....

Out Of Pocket....$13.61 cash
Value of items bought....$65.52+$49.25+$49.19=$163.97
Single Check Rebate due....$4.00

+Ups at beginning of month...$33+
