Rite Aid Happiness

I went to Rite Aid this week (9/26-10/2) and was in desparate need of diapers. This was one of the best deals I could muster (about 14 cents/diaper). Here's the scoop:

1 big pack #3 Huggies Diapers = $19.99 for 96 diapers
$1/1 RA Q for Huggies Diapers from AdPerk Video Values (VV)
$1.50/1 Huggies Diapers from a Huggies mailer
$4/$20 RA Q from VV
(I did buy 1 other 50 cent item to top over the $20 mark)

BUT to really maximize on the above deal, I completed this transaction first!!!

6 50 oz. bottles of Tide at $5.99 each (instead of $9.49)
6 $1.50 Tide Q's from 8/22 SS
$5/$25 RA Q from VV
After $10 Wellness Up Rewards = $1.99 each

Total above purchase = $23.72 PLUS a $10 Wellness+ Up Reward

So my total OOP for the 2 transactions (because I used my $10 right away and saved that as well) = $28.55
Before Q's etc. = $82.85
Total Savings = $54.30 or 66%


Ahh! Another breath of fresh air that I am doing my duty. I can't wait to smell my laundry when I can use TIDE instead of a generic brand that doesn't do much good. I love coupons!

Happy Rite Aid/Diaper Purchase

I went to Rite Aid last week to use my last free coupon for diapers from my "raid" a couple of months ago when Rite Aid had the buy 5 packages of Huggies and get a 6th package free. We have used all those diapers and were in need of new ones. I was nervous because diapers were not on a very good sale, but I did have $15 in gift cards from another rebate purchase. Here's how it went down.

Transaction #1

Pampers Baby Dry Diapers (box size - 96 diapers) - Priced at $19.99
Pampers 3 pack of wipes for $5.99

Used
$5/$25 purchase RITE AID VV Q
$2 off Q wyb both Pampers Diapers and wipes
$15 Gift Cards

Total before Q = $27.80
Total OOP = $5.07 and $2 +UP Wellness

Transaction #2

1 Huggies Snug & Dry Jumbo Size (36 count) $11.99
1 Huggies Pure & Natural Jumbo Size (26 count) $11.99
2 Glue Sticks (discounted at $.29 each, but rang up at $.99 with 10% discount $.89) - not happy, but will survive
2 Oral B Toothbrushes on Clearance so 50% off (hope to use on Oral Care Rebate still) $1.49 each (from $3.00 each)

Used
$5/$25 purchase RA VV Q
10% off regular priced items from previous purchase (Tx #1)
$2 +UP from previous purchase (Tx #1)
1 FREE Huggies coupon from previous rebate
1 $2.50 Huggies Pure & Natural Diapers
1 B1G1 free coupon for Oral B toothbrushes

Total before Q = $30.97
Total OOP = $2.48 (and should have been about $1.25 if glue sticks were priced right

So the total is:

Before deals = $58.76, After deals = $7.55
Saved $51.21 or 87% savings
Average of $.94 per item and now have

168 diapers & 3 packs of wipes (a month's supply and some other items for less than $8)!!!

Yee-haw! I like it when it works that way.

(don't notice that I won't be detailing out my Costco run directly afterwards. I did save, but nothing like this :)

Happy Diaper Day!

This was a happy day. I bought 5 packages of Huggies Jumbo Pack diapers and will receive 1 more free and I spent $20!

RiteAid

Original Price Sale Price Coupons
$11.99 $8.99 (savings of $15) $3 off (x5), 2 $5 off, $11.99 off 1 diaper = $36.99

Total would be= $72 Saved = $52 OOP (Out of Pocket) = $20 Saved 72%

I also bought $13 sunglasses with a $5 coupon plus $2 rebate and 2 spray bottles for $1 each, I spent $33.34 - the $2 rebate.

Total OOP = $31.34, a savings of $62.09 or 66% savings overall

A BEAUTIFUL STORY AND ONE OF MY BEST SUCCESSES SO FAR. Now my goal is to get these diapers to last until the beginning of July, when I will search out the next diaper deal - ahh! the joys of shopping.
