Sunday Steals And Deals: Rite Aid, CVS & Wags
16 March 2010
Thanks again to Collin at Hip2Save for helping me put together these deals! I couldn't do it without help. And, by the way, just a few minutes ago, I redeemed for $5 Amazon.com GC #5 from Swagbucks! Between that and winning twice for Deal Seeking Mom's coupon database, I've got $75 racked up at Amazon! =D
And so, here we go:
Rite Aid
Transactions #1 & #2: I'm combining these because they go together for SCR #24. Total value = $68.23; total OOP = 23¢!! (That's a savings of about 99.66%, btw!)
Details:
- (2) StayFree Maxi Pads, 16-ct (which I personally can't use, but since I got them free, I will donate them to Samaritan House along with some clothes I've shrunk out of, and I feel good about that!): Normally $3.99 each, on sale for B1G1-50% off, minus (2) $1 MQs
- Visine All-Day Itch Relief: $12.99, minus $3 MQ and $3 in-ad SQ
- Motrin PM 20-ct: $5.49, minus $1 MQ
- Cortaid cream: reg. $5.99, on sale for $3.99, minus $1 MQ

Submitting these receipts together on Rite Aid's Single Check Rebate site will get me $25 back for the J&J SCR #24. Woohoo!
#3: Total value: $50.89; total OOP: $12.56
{Note: I can afford to be much pickier about the deals I get now that our stockpile is quite full, so you can be sure that if I don't get something for a killer price, it's because we really need it and will use it. Like this Coke, we drink a lot of it, and I'm always looking for a good price. As for all the candy, between the two birthday parties I'll need favors for, and Easter, I need to stock up. Rest assured my kids don't live on a candy and Cocoa Pebbles diet!!}
Details:
- ½-L 6-pack bottles of Coke: reg. $3.79, on sale for $3, minus 50¢ in-ad SQ
- ½-L 6-pack bottles of CFD Coke: reg. $3.79, on sale for $3, minus 50¢ in-ad SQ

- I also used a $5-off-$25 SQ for this order.
#4: I could have done better on this order, but because they were out of - or didn't carry - a couple things, I didn't have a high enough balance to use another $5-off-$25 SQ, and I didn't want to buy a bunch of stuff just to make that total. Total value: about $37.29; total OOP: $10.94
Details:
- (2) Act II popcorn 3-pk: reg. $2.49, on sale for $1.25, minus (2) 40¢ MQs

- (9) Puffs Plus Tisue Cube (my favorite tissues!!): reg. $1.79, on sale for 79¢, minus (3) 25¢/3 MQs
CVS
Total value: about $97.51; Total OOP for this purchase COULD HAVE BEEN $33.33 but was actually $51.33 because I saved all the ECBs I earned from this order to buy this:
A two-pack of replacement brush heads for our Philips Sonicare Elite electric toothbrush. Mine was unceremoniously dragged through the dirty cat litterbox by a certain four-year-old daughter. *ahem* Anyway, CVS sells the 2-pack for $36.99 (!!! I KNOW!), but it was on sale for $26.99. I had a $5 MQ and used the $18 in ECBs I received from the first order, above, to get that total down to $5.29 with tax. Not too shabby.

Walgreens
Single transaction. Total value: $131.05; total OOP: $49.50 PLUS $7 in Register Rewards for next time (net = $42.50). I saved $82.05.
Details:
(4) Ore-Ida Extra Crispy Easy Fries: reg. $1.29 each, on sale for 99¢, minus (2) $1.50/2 MQs = 24¢ each!
These actually turned out to be pretty yummy!!
(2) 4-packs of Special K Protein Shakes: reg. $7.99 each, on sale for $4.50 each, minus (2) $1MQs and the $3 RRs it gave me = 50¢ per bottle!
{I had a chocolate one last night. It was really good, but I threw it up... not sure if it had too many carbs or I had a stomach bug or just what. I'll try again later today.}
(3) Hershey's Bliss chocolate candies: Reg. $4.79, on sale for $3.50, minus (3) $1 MQs and $1.50/3 SQ = $2/bag
(3) 2-packs Pilot G2 Pens: reg. $3.29, on sale for 99¢ with in-ad SQ!
These are my absolute FAVORITE pens right now. They were out of blue and black, or I'd have gotten those, but I can use these, too. If I stop at Wags again this week, I'll see if I can find blue and get more.
(2) Reese's Dark PB Cups: reg. 89¢, on sale for 49¢ with in-ad SQ, minus (2) 55¢ MQs = 12¢ Moneymaker!
(2) Rimmel 1000 Kisses Lip Liners: reg. $3.89 each, on sale for 50% off, minus (2) $1 MQs = 94¢ each
Really needed some good lip liners right now, too... :)
Revlon Nail Clippers: Reg. $3.19, on sale for 40% off, minus $1 MQ = 91¢
We constantly lose nailclippers, and I needed some for my car, so I had to get this deal!
(3) Chapstick Classic Cherry: reg. $1.89 each, on sale for 99¢ with in-ad SQ, minus $1/3 MQ = 66¢ each
I'm a chapstick fiend, so yay!
(4) Old Spice Swagger Body Wash: Reg. $4.99, minus (4) MQs for FREE Body Wash wyb Old Spice deodorant = 4 FREE!
Except... the cashier took all 4 MQs and only rang up 3, so I paid $5 for one. :( I might call up and see if they can give my $$ back, but I absolutely HATE that Wags, so I might just have to call it a loss. Suckage!
(6) Old Spice High Endurance deodorant: reg. $3.29 each, on sale for $2.29, minus (3) $1/2 MQs = $1.79 each
Not the best deal, but this is Rob's fave brand, so I stocked up for him.
At least I know that if I died tomorrow, Rob and the kids will be clean and smell good! ;)
(4) Blue Diamond Almonds: reg. $3.59, on sale for 2/$3.49, minus (2) $1/2 MQs = $1.25 each
These are the BEST nuts, so yummy! I eat a few of them at a time for a good, high-protein snack. And I'm down 169 lbs as of today, so something is going right! ;)
Colgate Total Advanced Whitening: Reg. $4.59, on sale for $3.99, minus $3.99 RRs and $1 MQ = $1 Moneymaker!
(2) Oral-B Glide Advantage toothbrushes: Reg. $3.79, on sale for 95¢, minus B1G1 FREE MQ and 75¢ MQ = 10¢ each!
So, I want to hit Wags again this week if I can, and get a few more deals now that I have more printer ink. We'll see if I get to it, and Target...
