My return to blogging starts at Rite Aid! :)
Hey everyone! I finally have some free time to come back to blogging. This summer has been crazier than I thought it would be. I’m working full time and going to summer school, so time is a hot commodity these days… My mom and I have been doing some couponing here and there, but not nearly as much as we used to do. One reason is that the family is in the process of moving, and we simply have so much stuff to pack that we eased up on the buying for now. Also, the coupons coming out these days aren’t as good as they used to be, so we aren’t seeing too many good deals… :(
Anyway, back to our deal we found today. Since today is the last day of the month, we had a bunch of coupons expiring. So we checked the ads, gathered our coupons, and hit the stores. We got some deals at Wegmans and Target, but the best deals were found at Rite Aid today. So here’s the breakdown:
Transactions #1:
2 x Gilette Fusion ProGlide Razor @ $9.99 each = 19.98
1 x Purex Liquid Laundry Detergent @ 1.99
Coupons used:
2 x $4.00/1 ProGlide Razor
Total before coupons = $23.28
Total After coupons = $15.27
+UP rewards received = $11.00
Transaction #2:
1 x Dove Women’s deodorant @ $1.99
2 x Axe Shower Gel @ 4.50 each = $9.00
1 x Dove Ment’s deodorant stick @ $4.31 (10% discount)
2 x Axe Deodorant Spray @ 4.50 each = $9.00
1 x Nivea Women’s Body Wash @ $3.99
1 x Bengay Cream @ $4.94 (10% discount)
Coupons used:
1 x Buy Women’s deo, get Men’s Dove Deodorant FREE = $1.99 (just noticed that the cashier took off the women’s deodorant price instead of the men’s deodorant price…)
1 x BOGO Axe Shower Gel = $4.50
1 x BOGO Axe Deodorant = $4.50
1 x $3.00/1 Bengay product
1 x $2.00/1 Bengay product (Rite Aid in ad coupon)
1 x $2.00/1 Nivea Women’s Body Wash
$11.00 +UP rewards (from Transaction #1)
Total before coupons= $33.23
Total after coupons = $5.20 (including tax)
(Total would have been less had the cashier taken off the correct amount for the deodorant)
Transaction #3: (at a different Rite Aid)
4 x Bic Soleil razors @ $4.99 each = $19.96
1 x Bengay cream @ $4.94 (10% discount)
Coupons used:
4 x $3.00/1 Bic Soleil product
1 x $3.00/1 Bengay product
1 x $2.00/1 Bengay product (Rite Aid in ad coupon)
Total before coupons = $24.90
Total after coupons = $8.20 (including tax)
+UP Rewards received = $4.00
Total initial price for all transactions = $81.41
Total OOP for all transactions = $28.67
Percent savings = 65%
+UP Rewards earned = $4.00
Overall, we did good. I think we may go back for more Bic razors later in the week since I’m running low on my stash of razors.
