I don’t know about you, but there wasn’t a ton that I wanted to pick up at the drug stores this week. There were some exciting deals (don’t miss the free Kit Kat – which I’ve used all my coupons for already – or the free Revlon!) Chicago didn’t seem to get the $2 Revlon coupon (we got the $1), so the free nail polish was out for me. And since I already got the free Wet ‘N Wild last week, I wasn’t going to pay $.99. Between my daughter persuading me with her cute little face and the free deals, we have a LOT of nail polish in this house. Most of which she uses! (HOLD THE PHONE! Monique says that Chicago DID get the $2 coupon. It is NOT by the $1 coupons in the middle of the insert, it is at the end of the insert. Cause that makes sense. But okay! Thanks Monique!)
Here what I did this week:
4 Right Guard Xtreme Deodorant 2/$6 (Used 4 $2 from 8/4 RP)
1 Pack of Extra Gum $1.37
Used $5 ECB (that I had to burn because it was expiring 8/6, thus the gum filler)
Paid $.37 plus tax, Got $4 ECB from Right Guard
Final Price: $1.37
Transaction #1
2 Glade Car Scents 2/$5 (Used 2 $2 Glade Decor Scents coupons)
1 Colgate Total Toothpaste $3.49 (Used $1 from 7/28 SS)
Paid $3.49 plus tax, Got $2 RR from Glade and $2.50 RR from Colgate
Final Price: $1.01 Moneymaker
Transaction #2
Lipton Pure Leaf Tea $.99
Crest Pro-Health Mouthwash $2.99 (Used $1.50 Crest from 7/28 P&G)
Used $2 RR from previous transaction
Paid $.48 plus tax, Got $.99 RR from Lipton and $2 RR from Crest
Final Price: $.51 Moneymaker
After all was said and done, I actually came out with a $.15 moneymaker, so I’m happy! Be sure to read about the issues I had with the Colgate Toothbrush before heading out and I hope your shops are great this week! Hopefully this will give you some ideas!
