SubTotal.....$86.85

Coupon Total.....$81.98

TOTAL OOP...$4.87 was put on the Rite-Aid Gift Card I got Sat. night for returning the JFrieda Styler so ZERO OOP.

One of the cashiers took off an extra $1 somewhere because the receipts add up to $3.87 instead.

$3.87 spent and SCRs qualified for.....$25+$5.84=$30.84.


Why I bought what I bought......

The 1st 5 items in my list where bought to finish off the J&J Deal.  I had $11.88 already from earlier in the month toward that SCR, so these items--a total of $42.60--put me over the $50 mark for the $25 rebate.
I bought these particular items because we have allergy issues here and the Band-Aids......well, #2 son skateboards....need I say more? ;-)

The Frizz-Ease 'Poo was to finish off the SCR #4(buy Frizz-Ease styler and 'poo and get the price of the 'poo refunded).  I bought the styler last week so now I get another $5.84 back.

Great price on the Welch's 100% juice with the Qs.  The 6 pack was a spur of the moment buy because of the hangtag Q.  With the Qs and the wellness discount, it was a good deal and I had some $5/$20 to burn anyway.

The TP is always needed.

The toothbrush and shampoo/stylers will be making an appearance at a garage sale/flea market later this spring.

The PB cups was a filler for one of the transactions and the Easter candy is well, for the kids' easter baskets.

Catching Up....To Weis for One Last Catalina Roll last Saturday Night

Ok, it's official.
Last week I was officially on a 'Bender'.....a Spending Bender!

I did 8 rolls of the Catalina Deals at Weis.

I had IPQs for the Classico Pasta Sauce($1/2), the Hidden Valley($1/1) & the Ore-Ida Steam & Mash($1/1).
Since my local Weis doesn't accept IPQs(BOO HISSSSSSSS!), I was forced to shop at 2 other Weis Markets to use these Qs.

I did the Heinz Catalina Deal 4 times...
4 Ketchup
20 Pasta Sauces
2 Steam & Mash Taters
1 Onion Rings

The Kellogg's Catalina Deal twice....
5 Corn Pops Cereal
2 Keebler Cookies
5 Fruit Snacks

The Clorox Cat Deal twice also.....
4 bottle of Clorox 2
5 bottles of Clorox
2 Hidden Valley Dressing
1 Glad Garbage Bags

I goofed bigtime tho, confusing Kellogg's Fruit Snacks with Betty Crocker ones.  I was thinking the nationwide Catalina was on the Kellogg's(which were part of the Cat Deal)but it was on the BC ones(which were NOT part of the Cat Deal). I bought 5 boxes thinking I'd reap an additional $3.50 Cat Q along with the $7 Cat Q that was part of the Weis/Kellogg's Cat Deal. 
I knew those Fruit Snacks were a bad idea.....why the heck did I even buy them?lol

NOPE!
So those Fruit Snacks will be going back to Weis this week.

While in Weis this week doing the Cat Deals I also took advantage of the IQF Fish for $3.99lb.(3 bags worth at approx. 2.5 lbs. per bag), the $1 a 1lb. bag frozen stir-fry veggies(4 bags), JollyTime Popcorn for $1 a box after sale and my $1/1 home mailer Qs and 1/2lb. of liverwurst at the deli per DH's request(not on sale-the horrors!llol).

I also hit a nice chicken clearance.  Remember that 40% off  'natural fresh' chicken sale Weis held last week.  Well, my local store had a TON of it leftover Saturday evening so they marked it all down and then put $1 or $2 Instant Discount stickers on the packages....
And then they waited for me to come to the store!

I picked up 14.27 lbs. of chicken(mostly breast and a couple packages of thighs)for an avg. price of less than .74¢ a lb!
Oh, yah.....

So to the Cat items above add....
14.27 lb. chicken
8 lb. frozen fish fillets
4 lb. frozen veggies
.43 lb. liverwurst

Total for all....$93.05(before I return the fruit snacks)...$81.40 after the return.  and I have a $7 Cat left.
$34.43 for the Cat items + $46.97 for everything else.

To offset things a bit, I'll be able to send for the Clorox 2 MIR I blogged about HERE for full price of $4.49 x 2(once for me, once for BIL), so that's $8.98 more off my OOP for a grand total spent of $72.42.

Even to me this sounds high for an OOP, but if you laid it all out for a photo it would be a great deal for the price.

My Beloved Printer Buddy is Gone

See this printer?
This is DH printer that just went to printer heaven last week.
I LOOOOOOOVED this printer!

I discovered a cool as heck thing about this particular model of HP printer about 6 months ago.
Ya see, if I printed coupons from it, I could hit the OFF button on the printer right before the print job was finished.

By doing that, the printer told itself that it hadn't printed the coupon yet.....even though it had.
And when you turned the printer back on, it would print the coupon again.


And if you follow me here.....you could in theory keep turning the printer off & on ad infinitum and you could print as many coupons as you wanted until you couldn't stand it anymore!

Ok, so I only printed coupons on it this way to get a few extra since we only have 2 printers here(and mine doesn't always work...it's a P.O.S. Canon Pixma).....
and I don't have access to other computers from family or friends to print coupons.....
or from work like lots of other people do.

It was just my little special way to get a few more prints on a coupon.

But now my beloved HP All-in-One is swimming with the fishies.....**sigh**

DH brought home a new HP All in One printer.
Ok....you can hear the wheels turning in my head, right?  
Is it possible.....that this one will be "friendly" too??
 
I was crushed to find out that the new printer does NOT hold the magical power of the old model.
So I am back to being "Two Print Sluggy" again.
No more stockpiling that awesome deal with internet printed coupons.
I have to rely on the crappy local inserts.
And when I say crappy, I do mean crappy.  I have documented such on the blog,  HERE and HERE.

I'm guessing I'll be spending a lot more time on eBay or buying through a clipping service again.

**double sigh**

 R.I.P. my beloved coupon loving HP printer.....
I miss you already!

Rite-Aid SCR #24 Scenario for the J&J Spend $50/Get $25 Deal

Here's a nice low OOP way to do the J&J SCR #24(Get $25 WYB $50 worth of select J&J products)at Rite-Aid this week.

And it's an especially good scenario if you suffer from allergies and/or sinus issues. ;-)

I came into this week with purchases already toward this SCR, so I didn't do it quite this way but did buy some of the items in it for my low OOP.

Here it is....

2 Identical Transactions

Buy....
1 Visine for $4.99 ($4.49)
1 Sudafed for $6.49 ($5.84)
2 Benadryl for $5.49=$10.98($4.94=$9.88)
2 Band-Aids or 1st Aid Tape on sale $1.99=$3.98

SubTotal.....$26.44 ($24.19-you'll need to add another Band-Aid or something)

Coupons Used
1 $5/$20 AdPerks IPQ=$5
1 $3/1 Visine In-Ad Q=$3
1 $2/1 Visine ManuQ(1/3RP insert)**seems to have been a regional value**=$2

1 $2/1 Sudafed In-Ad Q=$2
2 $2/1 Benadryl In-Ad Q=$4

2 $1/1 Band-Aids ManuQ(1/3RP insert)=$2
Coupon Total....$24.00

$26.44-$24.00=$2.44 OOP

Total OOP after 2 transactions is $4.88 and receive a $25 SCR making this a $20.12 Moneymaker.
**If you only received the $1/1 ManuQ for the Visine, your OOP will increase by $2, for a $6.88 OOP.

Of course if you can use the Wellness card AND have enough points to get a discount on regular priced items at Rite-Aid, you can do this scenario for even less OOP.   You will have to buy 1 additional box of Band-Aids or 1st Aid Tape.
