Truth be told, I have been off couponing for a few weeks now. Well not entirely, I mean I still use coupons when it's convenient (like a few xmas gifts from Bed Bath & Beyond), but I haven't been on the hunt for crazy bargains or creating killer deal scenarios. Seriously! We haven't even been food shopping since before Christmas and I'm pretty sure we're going on day 5 of being without milk or juice in the fridge. Scandalous!
I kind of took a break over the holidays (which did feel good) and I'm just now jumping back on the band wagon. Today I successfully completed a KILLER Rite Aid deal! Here's the breakdown:
This one required two transactions, something I'm usually opposed to because I just dont have the time, but I couldn't pass this one up.
Transaction #1
I bought:
4 boxes of Special K cereal - $4.79each, on sale BOGO Free
1 Blink Eye Drops - $7.99 with $7.99 SCR
2 Spic n Span scrub brushes - on clearance for $0.50each
2 Spic n Span 10ct packs of Latex gloves - on clearance for $0.50each
I used:
2 x BOGO free Special K manufacturers coupons
1 x $1/1 Blink eye Drops manufacturers coupon
2 x $1/2 any Spic n Span Products
$2 UPR from previous transaction
Total OOP cost: $5.59
Will get back $7.99 SCR from Blink Eye Drops + my receipt printed $4 UPR from the cereal
Transaction #2
I bought:
4 boxes of Special K cereal - $4.79each, on sale BOGO Free
4 boxes of Barilla Pasta - 4/$5, on sale buy 4 get $1 UPR
I used:
2 x BOGO free Special K manufacturers coupons
$4 UPR from transaction #1
Total OOP: $1.60
Receipt printed $9 UPR, $1 for each item (month long food/snack UPR)
TOTAL OOP cost for both transactions: $7.19
Getting back $7.99 in SCR
=
$0.80 Money Maker + $9 in UPR
Now I should note, I'm pretty sure there is no way that we will consume 8 boxes of Special K, nor do I have room to store that much cereal, so at least half of this will be getting donated to the local food pantry by the end of the month. I mean really, 8 boxes is way too much for only two mouths, don't you think?
