Kick Ass Sunday, Coming Up!

Here is a link to the 4/3 Rite Aid Ad.  Kinda complicated, but it's gonna be great.

OMG ITS GONNA BE GOOD

Page 2/3 - Get $5 UP when you buy $25 worth of specified "Allergy" products below the yellow bar.

Buy 10 Halls that are on sale 2/$3 (Get $1 UP on 2) = $15 ...  I have 7 $.75 coupons, and 10 $.50 Video Value coupons.  This brings my total for the 10 cough drops to $4.75.  I will receive $1 in UP rewards for every two packs that I buy.  FREE!  That's also $15 towards the $25 needed for the $5 Allergy UP!

Buy 1 Zaditor Eye Drops Allergy = $9.99 (Get $2 UP)  Use $3 Coupon, pay $6.99, and that makes the allergy total $24.99, just one more damn penny!

Buy 1 NeilMed Nasadock Plus Drying Stand - $6, Get $6 UP Reward Back.  Also contributes to Allergy Reward, giving me my $5 UP from the Allergy Promotion.  (I haven't the slightest clue what this is, but it's FREE after UP Rewards)

10 Halls = $4.75 (Get $5 UP)
1 Zadiator = $6.99 (Get $2 UP)
1 NeilMed Nasadock blahblah = $6 (Get $6 UP!)
Get $5 UP from Allergy Promotion
Total Due : $17.74
Use $10 in UPS
Total: $7.74, Get back $18 in UPS

AND THAT'S JUST TRANSACTION NUMBER ONE

Transaction Number Two!  Make fun ALL you want, but I'm the one making money!

2 Proglide Razors - $9.99 = $19.98.  Use 2 $3 Coupons = $13.98.  Use $13 UP From first Xtion = $.98 cents... get $10 UP.
2 POLIGRIP = $1.99 = $3.98, use 2 "FREE POLIGRIP up to 1.99" = FREE.. PLUS, GET $3.98 REBATE!!!!!! THEY PAY ME $4 TO TAKE THE POLIGRIP! I DON'T FREAKIN WEAR DENTURES!!!!!

So in total I pay $8.72 out of pocket, and leave with $15 in UPs, and will receive $4 in rebates from the Poligrip.  If you subtract the $4 check I'll get, I've only paid $4.72 for all this.
I leave with 10 Halls Cough Drops, 1 Zaditor Allergy Eye Drops, 1 NeilMed somethingerother, 2 Gillette Razors (MY  BRAND YAY), and 2 Poligrip.

I LIED! No deals this week.

The source from which I get my HEADS UP on the Rite Aid's ads were incorrect this week.  The lysol that was in the preview ad is sadly not in the ad for our region.  This means I have no reason to wake up tomorrow, there aren't even any great coupons to go after! Sadness.

I did, however, cash in my rain check on the B1G1 Free Airwick with my B1G1 Free coupons.  So 4 more airwick to add to the bunch.

Happy sleeping to me, except for when I get out and venture to Dollar General to use these Spic and Span coupons!

Small Day Tomorrow! $.24 Lysol.

Lysol All The Way!
 
Here's the deal I'm going to TRY and get tomorrow, all depending on how the war against all these middle-aged women goes.  I went to Rite Aid before work today to scope out their stock, and it's very limited. There were only 6 on the shelf.
Here's the dilly doe.
Lysol Toilet Bowl Cleaner
1.99 (Get $1 UP)
Use 75 cent coupon.
1.24.
IF I'm lucky enough to kick some ass and get all six...
1.24x6 = 7.44
Use $6 of UPS
1.44
Get back $6 in UPS.

I can live with that.

WOOT TOOT! Total spent today $1.27!!! A DOLLAR TWENT SEVEN CENTS!

I could just SCREAM at the top of my lungs I'm so thrilled about this. AHHHHHHH!
I've finally started my cleaning supplies stockpile, thanks to the fantastic DIAL CORP and Rite Aid.
Here's my trip today to the MONTICELLO Rite Aid.  Which I don't recommend because the Store Manager was OMG SO Hateful.  Then she'd give me a drop of nice, and then take it right back and give me a cup full of hateful.  I swear if I didn't want this deal so bad I'd have just returned the six and left and cursed her on the way out.  I'm in Customer Service, and I'm no bright ray of sunshine, but this STORE MANAGER is just the fire of hell.  She's also the one who gave me so much grief over my free toothpaste back in January.

So anyways, here's the two transactions I did today.
I bought these six soft scrub at three different Rite Aids so I could return them all at once, and buy them all at once to do this deal.  So the money I spent on them, I got right back and did this deal.

6 Soft Scrub = $15
Used 3 off 15 Survey Coupon
Used 6 $1 off SS Coupons
Used $5 UP
Used $1 off Video Value coupon
Total = FREE

There's a weekly deal where if you bought $10 worth of select cleaning supplies, you got a $3 UP.
DIAL CORP has a monthly deal where if you buy $15 of their products, you get a $5 UP.
So, I got these for free, but I had to use a $5 UP.  BUT I got back $8 in UPS.
$3 Money Maker.

I also got another survey code to get $3 off $15.
Thank goodness because I'm gonna rate them LOWLOWLOW. LOOOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EXCLAMATION POINTS X 1000!!!!!!!!
Can you tell I'm mad?

Transaction 2 (Mostly for my momma)

1 Purex Crystals = 3.99 (Get $1 UP)
2 Sambucol = 2.00
1 Fiber Choice = 8.99 (Get $2 UP)
2 Extra B1G1F = 1.29
Total = 16.27

Used another $3 off $15 Survey Coupon
Total = 13.27
Used 2 $1 off Sambucol Coupons (MADE THEM FREE)
$11.27
1 $2 Fiber Choice Coupon
$9.27
1 $2 off Purex Coupon
7.27
Used $5 UP
2.27
Used $1 Video Value Coupon (Damn, I'm officially out of these)
1.27.

Got back $3 in UPS.

So, for...
6 Soft Scrub
2 Sambucol Cold and Flu relief
Fiber Choice
Purex Crystals
2 Extra Dessert Packs
(Everyone at the BL knows I love these!  Shout out to SARAH, ALICIA, AND TIFFANY!)

Total = 1.27
Leaving with $11 in UPS to use later!

Mission Soft Scrub : Complete

Since Sunday night, I've been on a mission to start on my Cleaning Supplies Stockpile.  So far, my entire stockpile is made up of HBC, with a little bit of Airwick and Renuzit's (ok, 36 renuzits)  thrown in.  After A little research, I found I could do a DOUBLE DIP of Rewards.  In this week's Rite Aid AD, there's a group of cleaning products, where if you buy $10 worth, you get a $3 UP Reward back.  There's also a monthly DIAL CORP deal, where if you buy $15 worth of DIAL CORPORATION products, you'll get a $5 UP back.  (Which is why I have 36 renuzits)


The soft scrub total is  a part of BOTH deals, so if you buy $15 worth of it, you get the $3 Cleaning UP and the $5 DIAL CORP Up.  Here's how I make it a money maker.

6 Soft Scrub = $15
Use $3 off $15 Survey Coupon
Total : $12
Use 6 $1 off SS Coupons
Total : $6
Use $1 Video Value Coupon
Total : $5
Use $5 UP
Total : $0
Get Back the $3 and $5 UPS

I did go to THREE different Rite Aid stores to get this, but never did I go out of my way.
Momma lives in Monticello, got 2.
I went to Glasgow for Class, got 2.
Stopped by Somerset on my way to Monticello, got 2.

Tomorrow, I'll return them all with the receipts, and rebuy them all at once with my coupons, as we paid full price for these 6, do my deal as described, and I WIN THE GAME! I WIN I WIN I WIN!!!!!

God, I love couponing.

TLC Extreme Couponing - April 6th 9/8c

Airing Wednesday, April 6 at 9/8c & 9:30/8:30c on TLC


TLC announced the premiere date for the much buzzed-about series EXTREME COUPONING, which follows along as savvy shoppers plan and plot their way to unbelievable savings. The series will premiere Wednesday, April 6 with two episodes at 9 & 9:30 PM ET/PT, and will move to the 9:30 PM time slot the following week.


2.1 million viewers tuned in for the premiere EXTREME COUPONING, which aired as a one-hour special on December 29, 2010. Now, each of the series’ 12 half-hour episodes introduces viewers to America’s most extreme “super couponers,” sharing why they are so driven by the deals.


“For some people, couponing isn’t just a way to save money, it’s a way of life,” said Amy Winter, GM, TLC. “EXTREME COUPONING shares their remarkable stories and reveals tips and tricks to uncover the best deals out there, giving the TLC audience the tools they need to conquer this economy.”

From seeing their shocking stockpiles of merchandise they rack up, to demonstrating their dramatic shopping skills, to witnessing how some use their amazing couponing ways to benefit local communities, EXTREME COUPONING shares the world of everyday people in pursuit of extraordinary deals.


Some of the people profiled in the series include Montgomery Village, MD’s J’aime, a paralegal who brings her prides herself on her couponing professionalism while scoring $1900 worth of merchandise for $103; Jessica, from Caldwell, ID, who spent just $7 for $680 worth of goods; St Louis, MO’s Rebecca is a second-generation stockpiler who takes home $542 of items for $25; and it only costs Tiffany from Spring, TX $40 to take home items valued at $1100.

Shopping at Rite Aid, Simplified

+UP Reward Program

  • Similar to CVS Extra Bucks, +UP Reward coupons print on the bottom of the receipt when a qualifying purchase is made.
  • Can be used on your next non-prescription purchase. Multiple +UP coupons can be used (subject to the printed exclusions, such as money orders, alcohol, lotto, tobacco, etc.) up to the amount of purchase before sales tax.
  • Use coupons to lower your out of pocket expense and you’ll still get your +UP Reward!

Single Check Rebate Program

  • Easy to use and no UPC clipping required
  • After purchasing the advertised rebate products, go online to enter 4 different numbers from off your receipt and it will be submitted for processing.
  • At the end of the month, request your rebate check. It will come in the mail and you cash it like any normal check.
    • If you would like, take your first month’s Rebate Check and buy a gift card to Rite Aid. This will help you see just how much money you’re saving because you’ll never have to pay cash again!

Video Values Coupons

  • Sign up for the Wellness+ Rewards Card during your first Rite Aid visit
  • Watch the videos and right after you will earn a corresponding coup0n. You can print them immediately or save them to print out later.
  • Video Values coupons SAY manufacturer coupon on them, but are coded as STORE coupons (they start with “RC49″) and can be used in conjunction with manufacturer coupons.

In-Ad Coupons

  • Also coded as STORE coupons (though sometimes they will say manufacturer coupon on them)
  • Bar code often starts with “RC48″ or “RC49″. You can use up to 1 “RC49″ coupon, 1 “RC48″ coupon, and 1 manufacturer coupon per item

Shopping at Rite Aid

  • Easier to stock up on items, since there is rarely a “Limit 1″ imposed.
  • On the down side, stock is often limited and shelves become cleared.
    • To counter this, shop early in the sales week or the day after the store’s weekly shipment comes in
    • Be considerate to others and try not to clear the shelves

Buy 1 Get 1 Promotions

  • Rite Aid coupon policy allows you to use a BOGO manufacturer coupon in conjunction with a BOGO store promo, making both items free (plus applicable sales tax)
  • Alternatively, you may use two manufacturer coupons for the two items you will be buying in a store BOGO promo, which helps lower your out of pocket expense

Kroger Shopping List - 3/15


Kroger Shopping List



Mega Sale – This is a great time to use coupons.  At Kroger, when you buy 10 Mega-Sale items (not all of the same item, just a participating item.  See the Kroger ad) you’ll get 50 cents off of each item, for a total of $5 off your order. 

Kraft Cheese – 1.99 Use $1 coupon from 3/13 Paper – Pay 99 cents for KRAFT! (Not part of Mega-Sale, but still a good deal!)

Vitamin Water – 49 Cents When Purchasing 10 MegaSale Items – Use 75 cent BLINKIE coupon that was displayed with it earlier this month.

Oscar Mayer Hot Dogs – 1.49 when purchased as part of MEGA Sale.

Kraft Singles – 2.39, 1.89 after MEGA discount.  Use 55cent coupon from 3/06 Paper.  $1.34

Coca-Cola 2-liters – 89 cents after MEGA discount!

Powerade – 50 cents after MEGA discount!

So, here is what I would get if I were going.  The list above is not everything in the mega sale, just things I’d be interested in.

Here is how my transaction would go.
6 Kraft Cheese – 1.99= 11.94
7 Vitamin Waters = 6.93 (7/10 Megasale)
3 Oscar Mayer Hot Dogs = 5.97 (10/10 Megasale)
3 Kraft Singles – 2.39 = 7.17 (3/10 Megasale)
3 CocaCola 2Liter – 1.39 = 4.17 (6/10 Megasale)
4 Power Ade – 1.00 = 4.00 (10/10 Megasale)

Subtotal = 40.18
I have 20 Megasale Items, so we subtract 2 $5 discounts.
Subtotal = 30.18
We use 6 $1 off Kraft Cheese Coupons
Subtotal = $24.18
We use 7 .75 cent Vitamin Water Coupons
Subtotal = 18.93
We use 3 55 cent Kraft Single coupons
Subtotal = 17.28

Like I said, not a lot in this mega sale that’s coupon friendly.  But, we’re getting $40 worth of stuff for half price.  Cheese and hot dogs can be frozen, and the drinks will be consumed before their expiration date!
