Last Rite-Aid Trip & Walmart This Week

 I only did a very small transaction at Rite-Aid last week.  I needed 8 items for a $1 Midweek Marker Bonus.....


2 x Aveeno lotion BOGO50%=$5.23
1 x Vick's Pure Zzzs clearance=$2.37
1 x Berri Fit drink 20% Gold discount=$2.23
1 x Evolve shake drink 20% Gold discount=$2.79
2 x AirHeads candy bags on sale=$4.00
1 x Almay eye palette clearance=$2.74
SubTotal=$19.36

Coupons Used
1 x $1/1 Evolve hangtagQ=$1.00

$19.36-$1.00=$18.36 +.64¢ tax=$20.00 paid for with Bonus Cash/gift card.

No BC was earned but I earned $12.20 on Ibotta counting the $1 Bonus for hitting 8 rebates(the Berri Fit drink qualified for 3 rebates).  So I spent down all the BC on one card.

I hit Walmart yesterday to do a $5 wybuy 10 items Mid Week Money Maker Bonus........


1 x Softsoap hand soap=$1.98
1 x 9 Elements cleaner=$4.94
1 x Barilla pasta=$1.28
1 x Rise coffee drink clearance=.38¢
1 x Rimmel mascara clearance=$3.97
2 x Rimmel face make-up clearance=$2.00
1 x Breakstone cottage cheese/fruit cup=$1.06
1 x Core coconut protein bar=$1.98
1 x CB sliced Provolone cheese=$2.98
SubTotal...$20.57

Coupons Used
1 x $2/1 9 Elements ManQ=$2.00
1 x $2/1 Rimmel eye ManQ=$2.00
1 x $1/1 Rimmel any ManQ=$1.00
Coupon Total..........$5.00

$20.57-$5.00=$15.57+.47¢ tax=$16.04

While I only did 9 'different' rebates, there were 2 separate rebates for the Softsoap, giving me 10 rebates total.

I earned back $16.38 on Ibotta plus another $5 for the Bonus for doing at least 10 offers, making it $21.38 in rebates and a $5.34 moneymaker for these items.  I also used part of a $25 free gift card from Fetch to pay so it was Zero OOP on all this.  The coffee will go to Ex-College Boy, the dark face make-up and the mascara will be donated or go in a giveaway and we'll use the rest.

I did purchase other non-Ibotta items(some canned goods for Hubs, some clearance items and a pork butt to smoke)so the overall trip wasn't free but cost me $11.52 for everything bought.  That total will show up in next Monday's post when I do my weekly spending on groceries/toiletries/etc.

I also tried to find the free spicy Hormel pepperoni at 2 different Walmart stores but neither of them carry that type.
