There is a great new rebate from P and G.  Spend $30 (pre coupon) and get a $10 rebate by mail.  I have a good start on it with the free pantene I picked up at Rite Aid ($7.50 towards $30) and the two bottles of Olay cleanser I got at Safeway, spent $1 and have $11.98 towards rebate.  I especially love the rebates I get from buying things super cheap!

By the way, for the Safeway deal the Olay cleansers were on sale for $5.99 each.  I used a BOGO from last weeks newspaper, a $3 off Olay from a previous newspaper and a $1 off P ang G ecoupon.  When the BOGO was scanned it came off higher than the price and brought my total to 99 cents for both.

Friday, July 9th Part 2

I had a great Rite Aid trip. I did two separate transactions. I bought 2 bottles of Pantene which were free with coupons and Up rewards, Renu contact lens solution which had a full rebate plus I used a $2 coupon to make it a $2 money maker, and a Gillete Fusion razor which was $9.99 less my $4 coupon and the Rite Aid $5/$25 the cost was 99 cents but produced a $5 off next purchase coupon so $4.01 money maker. My second transaction I bought a big bottle of Aleve (used free product coupon from emailing company) and a Shick razor for $9.99 less a $4 coupon and another $5/$25, bringing my total to $1. I will get back $7.29 for the Renu and $9.99 for the Schick razor and have $7 to use at Rite Aid next time. Spent $2, made $24.

July Challenge update 7/7/10

I took the day off from shopping yesterday to catch up on rebates. I have the following ready to mail out:

Covergirl/Olay $12

SC Johnson x2, $5 each

Kotex x2 $4 each

Red Baron $3.99

Seventh Generation $5

Total is $38.99 less $3.08 for postage=$35.91 profit

I also listed a box of things from my overflowing hall closet on Craigslist for $50. We won't count that unless it sells. I reviewed the Tuesday grocery ads and didn't find anything to get excited about. This might be a week that we just buy milk and produce unless anything good comes up.

July Challenge Part #3 and Daily Recap

After Super Target I went to Rite Aid. I was crushed when I realized I only had one $5/$25 coupon which only allowed me to complete one out of three deals I had planned. I chose to do the Aveeno deal since it was the most profitable and will need to make another trip back this week to finish it. I had something to return which gave me a store credit of $17, I spent $11.02 and have $7.67 remaining for the other deals. I bought:
2 Aveeno Positively Ageless sunscreens at $11.99 each, used 2x$5 off http://www.aveeno.com/
1 Aveeno baby lotion $5.69, used $5 off coupon from emailing company
also used my Rite Aid Wellness card to collect points and $5/$25 coupon (hand first). By buying these items I will get a $15 rebate (cash?) from Rite Aid and a $10 rebate from Aveeno. If I go back I will do the same deal (or similar) to collect a second $10 rebate from Aveeno and the Rite Aid rebate will go to $30. So basically, $50 for spending about $20 which isn't really out of pocket if you transfer a prescription and get the $25 gift card.

Today's recap: $167.25 in merchandise, $25 gift card for King Soopers, $35 rebates, rewards points for Pampers, Tropicana and Rite Aid, lots of deli meat, juice, shampoo, sunscreen and some snacks. All for 5 cents out of pocket.
