Here's a picture of a shopping trip to Walgreens and Rite Aid I made on July 16th. I paid $68.04 for all of these items. Regular retail cost would have cost me $152.49! I was able to match my coupons with store discounts to receive these great deals.
Here is the following cost for each of my items:
Rite Aid trip:
1. Fructis Shampoo $2.50 paired with $1 off coupon made it $1.50
2. Fructis Frizz Control $2.50 paired with $1 off coupon made it $1.50
3. Mitchum Deodorant 2/$7 paired with 2 $0.75 off coupons made it $4 + $2 rebate
Final Price $1 each after rebate Did this twice to buy 4 deodorants
4. Tugaboos Wipes 360 count box $8.99 receive $1 +Up reward and $2 rebate
Final Price $5.99 after reward and rebate
5. Reach Floss and Listerine 2/$7 paired with 2 $1 off coupons and receive $2 +Up reward
Final Price $1.50 each after reward
6. Crest toothpaste $2.69 with $2.69 rebate makes it FREE
7. Chapstick 3 pack $4.49 with $2 rebate makes it $2.29
I did two separate transactions so I could use the +Up rewards from the wipes and floss on the other products. Plus I had 2 $3 off $15 or more which I could use on both transactions which helped with my savings even more. So I paid $28.91 but will receive a check at the end of the month with the $8 rebates which makes the purchase total $20.91 which should have cost $53.33 at regular retail.
Walgreens Trip:
1. Huggies Wipes 72 count $2.49 paired with $0.75 off coupon plus $1 Walgreens July booklet makes it $0.74 I bought two since this was a great deal and with 2 kids still in diapers we are always needing wipes.
2. G-U-M Dental Floss $2 plus $2 Register Reward (RR) makes this FREE after reward I did this twice so I could use both rewards on other transactions.
3. Softsoap hand soap $0.99 with in store ad so I bought 3
4. Air Wick Fresh Matic $7.99 paired with $4 off coupon makes it $3.99 receive $3 RR which makes this $0.99 after reward I bought 2 since I loves these automatic air fresheners, it was extremely cheap and could use the RR on another transaction.
5. Mandarin Oranges 2/$1
6. Enfamil Formula 2/$46 paired with 2 $4 off coupons made it $42 plus $6 RR makes it $36/2
I did 3 separate transactions so I could use all of my RR on the transaction with the Enfamil to help make the formula even cheaper. I was able to get another $10 off the Enfamil the way I set up my transactions using the RR making the Formula only $26 for 2! I was very happy with this shopping trip because we use Enfamil and it's not cheap. I paid a total of $47.82 which would have cost me $99.16 regular retail.
So even though this was a pretty big transaction it was a lot of things we needed for a pretty big discount. I usually only try to spend no more than $20 but when the weekly ad includes formula I just have to increase my budget. Let me know what you think because I think I did pretty good!
I did 3 transactions
