Scenario # 3

1 Style Science Polarvision sunglasses (pg 7) $12.99/1
- $10/1 RA May VV = $2.99/1
(If you did Erin's scenario #1, then this will complete the items needed for $10.00 SCR # 84)
- $10.00 SCR

1 Huggies jumbo pack diapers $8.99/1
- $3.00/1 MFC (print this from Coupons.com)
- $1.00 RA May VV
- $2.00 SCR = $2.99

Total before coupons = $21.98
- $5/20 RA VV coupon
- $ 14 (in MFC and RA VV coupons)
Total OOP = $2.98 + tax
- $2.00 SCR
- $10.00 SCR
make $9.02 - tax
Again watch the wellness 20% you could need a filler or in the end you OOP could less and you would make more YEAH
Still working on the scenarios, I will let you know if I come up with some more

Hi y'all,

I am going to try to fill in for Erin, I am alittle nervous since I have never done anything like this before. Rite Aid has started the June Ad Perk video's so make sure you get started watching them and earn those coupons. The other thing is I have no idea how to attach a link to this site if anyone does and could share that with me it would be great. In the mean time I will give you as much info as I can for you to type in the links needed. Thank you so much for you patience. On to the scenarios.

Rite Aid Scenario #2

1 AZO cranberry (pg 5) BOGO 50% off (but unless this is something you use only get one. You only need to purchase l for the SCR) about 5.59/1 (if you get 20% w/ wellness then it would be 4.47/1)
-$1.00 June VV
-$1.00 MF (from this link www.azoproducts.com/buy/coupon)
-$3.00 SCR # 9 = $.59 or (20% wellness is make $.52)

1 Coppertone Sun Care Product (pg 1) $8.99/1 (not sure about wellness 20%, maybe $7.19)
-$2.00 ad coupon (pg 1)
-$3.00 June VV
-$1.00 MFC (print from coupons.com if you were able to get this coupon last week it was for $2.00) = $2.99 or $1.99 depending on which MFC you have (if you get 20% wellness maybe $1.19 or $.19 again depending on which MFC you have)

2 Tresemme shampoo, conditioner, or stylers (pg 8) $7.00/2 with wellness card
-(2) $2.00 May VV

Total before coupons $21.58 without wellness 20%
- $ 5/20 Rite Aid VV coupon
- $ 12.00 or $13.oo depending which MFC you have on the Coppertone ( in MFC and RA VV coupons)
Total OOP = $4.58 + tax or $3.58 + tax
- $3.00 SCR = OOP $1.58 + tax or .58 + tax

Total before coupons with wellness 20% APPROX $18.66 if this amount is correct you will need to add a filler maybe the Stayfree maxi pads 16 - 24 ct (pg 1) $1.99/1 -$1.00 June VV coupon

Total before coupons (using the Stayfree) approx $20.65
- $5/20 Rite Aid VV coupon
- $13.00 or $14.00 depending which MFC you have on the Coppertone (in MFC aand RA VV coupons)
Total OOP = $2.65 + tax or $1.65 + tax
-$3.00 SCR = make $.35 or $1.35

Please remember with the Wellness 20 % it is very hard to be exact. If you are getting the 20% always be prepared with a filler.

I will try to work on some more and post then later.

Just 1 More Thing . . . 2 . . . 3 . . . No, 4!

1. Even though there were not supposed to be any coupons in the paper this morning. . . . THERE WERE!!

Look for a very small (4 page) SmartSource insert containing the following coupons:

GM Cereals: Cheerios Brands $1.00/2
GM Cereals: Basic4, Fiber One, Honey Nut Clusters, Oatmeal Crisp, Raisin Nut Bran, Total & Wheaties $1.00/2

Yoplait Yogurt Cups or Yoplait Original or Light Smoothie 50¢8
Yoplait Go-Gurt 75¢2

Thanks to CherryPicker.

Also, there was a $5/1 any size Prilosec OTC product coupon in Parade magazine.

2. I just couldn't leave without posting 1 Rite Aid scenario.

1 Style Science Polarvision sunglasses (pg. 7) $12.99/1
- $10/1 RA May VV coupon = $2.99/1
($10 SCR #84 wyb any 2 Style Science or Foster Grant sunglasses - Put the other pair needed for this SCR into a different scenario for maximum savings/earnings.)

1 Soft & Beautiful or Botanicals Relaxer Kits (pg. 8) $4.99/1
- $4 SCR = $0.99/1

2 Sure for Women deodorants (pg. 9) B1G1 2.6 to 2.7 oz. $2.99/1 = $2.99/2
- 2 $1.50/1 Sure for Women or Men, exp. 6-30-10 (SS 05/02/10) = FREE or MAKE $0.01

Total before coupons = $20.97
- $5/20 Rite Aid Video Values coupon
- $13 (in MFC and RA VV coupons)
Total OOP = $2.97 + tax
- $4 SCR
MAKE $1.03 - tax

3. And check out the Ziploc bags at Rite Aid . . . They're B1G1!!

Some regions received a B1G1 coupon in 4/11/SS - not my region. However, I do have 2 B1G1 coupons for Ziploc sandwich or snack bags (so 4 FREE for ME). They are on cardboard. I'm racking my brain to remember where I got these . . . seems to me that they were on the outside of a cereal box, but I can't remember which one. . . They expire 6/30/11.

4. And that is it.

I'm closing my computer . . . (even though I keep thinking of things to post - like it's the end of the month and you need to print out any coupons that you want before they reset; and watch all your RA Adperks videos, and . . . ). I could just keep going. I think my brain is working overtime trying to get a whole week's worth of posts into one or two. So, I'm going to just close my laptop and say it's over - for 1 week.

I'm Taking A Break . . .

Little guys helping me search for deals. . . . ! : )

I'm going to be taking this 1 week off from the blog to attend to some much needed things around the house. I'll miss blogging, but I need to knock some other things off my plate this week.

While I'm gone I've asked a couple of people to put up some posts in my stead. Please, please let them know how much you appreciate their efforts. Comments are a blogger's delight, so leave them LOTS of comments (even if you've never left a comment before, take the time to thank them).

I am planning on being back next week. Enjoy your Memorial Day!

No Coupon Inserts This Weekend

Due to Memorial Day, there will be no coupon inserts in the paper this weekend (5/30/10). Plan on taking a break from purchasing (papers), clipping, and filing. : )

Or if you are like me . . . you can plan on having extra time to try and get caught up on the sorting and filing.

National Consumer Panel Currently Accepting Applications!!

I just received a notice in my email box that NCP (National Consumer Panel, previously Homescan) is once again accepting applications from a variety of locations. It is rather hard to get into this program. They only open up registration periodically and once your application is received chances are that you'll go on a waiting list until they have an opening for your type of family. (I'm currently on a waiting list.)

As a panel member, you'll get a small hand-held scanner. You earn points by scanning in the barcodes of the items that you buy. Then once a week set the scanner on its cradle to upload the information to the company. Once you have earned enough points, just select the prize of your choice, scan the barcode in the catalog that corresponds to that prize and your prize will be sent to your door. : )

Dare to be different? By scanning the products you buy you will make your consumer opinions heard while earning great rewards. Join the National Consumer Panel today! Click Here

Rite Aid Ad Preview 5/30 to 6/5

Check out next week's Rite Aid ad here.
Thanks to mbella77 at SlickDeals.

I'll try to put up some of the deals I see later this afternoon.

Tugaboos Diapers at Rite Aid

Have you tried Rite Aid's brand of diapers yet? I haven't but I think that I'll be buying them this week. (I included them in my scenarios. . . since I can make money buying them.) If you have, let me know what you think of them. (Of course, they would have to be pretty spectacular for me to be willing to PAY for them. . . . I kind of like my basically FREE Huggies!! He, he.)

Also, the trial sized packages ($0.99/1) of Tugaboos contain a $1/1 coupon in them, good on any size package of Tugaboo diapers. So, you can always purchase 1 trial sized package. Get the coupon and turn around and purchase another trial sized package ($0.99 - $1/1 coupon = FREE).

These would be a great filler too, even if you don't have kids in diapers. (You can always give them to someone who does or donate them - church, shelter, etc.)

Rite Aid 5/23 to 5/29

A couple of notes to start with:

Make sure you know RiteAid'sCouponPolicy. Print out a copy to keep with you. This will be a great help when you get a cashier, or even a manager, who doesn't know the policy.
Go to Rite Aid AdPerks to watch videos and earn Rite Aid Video Value coupons. You will be able to earn a $5/$20 Rite Aid coupon, as well as a coupon for each product for which you watch a video. There does not appear to be a limit as to how many Video Values accounts you can have per address. . . so sign up your husband, and the rest of your family, and earn more coupons if desired.
Print out and take additional $5/$20 coupons with you. Remember, the $5/$20 coupon is only available after you watch enough AdPerks videos. (Rite Aid Video Values only allows you to choose to print the coupon one time. You can not go back and choose to print it again later. That being said, when you originally choose to print the coupon a print screen will pop up. On that print screen it has a place for you to type in how many times you want the page printed. I try to print out at least 20 for the month as I average using around 5 a week. NOTE that the coupon is good for 2 months. So if I have any extra I just use them the following month.)
Rite Aid has just rolled out their new program Wellness+ nationwide. If you haven't already done so, sign up for your rewards card online or in stores.

Wellness+ coupons here for:
$5.00 OFF Rite Aid Cetirizine or Loratadine with a price of $10.00 or more
$2.00 OFF MycocideNail Solution Kit
$1.00 OFF Any Band-Aid Brand Adhesive Bandages or Neosporin Cream, Ointment or Spray
All expire on 5/31/10.
Many thanks to Debbie for emailing these to me.

Wellness+ coupons here for:
50 Cents OFF any Greeting Card purchase of $5.00 or more
$1.00 OFF any pain reliever purchase of $10.00 or more
$1.00 OFF any cosmetics purchase of $10.00 or more
$1.00 OFF any vitamin purchase of $10.00 or more
All expire on 5/29/10.

Wellness+ coupons here for:
$1.00 OFF Any Pain Relief Purchase of $10.00 or More
$1.00 OFF Any Hair Care Purchase of $10.00 or More
$1.00 OFF Any Candy Purchase of $10.00 or More
All expire on 6/12/10.
Many thanks to Debbie for emailing these to me.

All my scenarios will reflect my personal goal to either make money or at least not to have spent any at the end of the month - after I get my Single Check Rebate, Rite Aid gift cards, and/or MIR checks.

**Unless otherwise indicated, there is a limit of one single check rebate per item.

If you haven't taken advantage of this deal yet . . .
FREE PHOTO MOUSE PAD
* Log in to your Rite Aid Video Values account here.
* Watch the Fujifilm video and receive a coupon for a free photo mouse pad.
* Create your mouse pad on Riteaid.com and have it shipped to the store of your choice.
* Make sure to take in your coupon when you pick it up and it's completely FREE!
Thanks to ThisBeautifulFrugalLife.

This mousepad (above) can be purchased with other items to bring your total up to $20 pre-coupons. You can then use a $5/20 coupon on the transaction!! Think of it as a FREE $12.99 filler!!
Here's a scenario idea from SlickDeals: "I went to pick up my mousepad, 1 gallon of milk ($2.89), a $0.20 candy, and 2 of their brand ice cream with wellness+ card for $1.99 each (there's a 55 cents q for ice cream made out of real California milk on top of the box). Using the free mousepad q, $5 off $20 q, and two .55 cents qs. my OOP was 77 cents.)"

Huggies Video Value Coupon

Rite Aid has finally gotten their Huggies Video Value coupon up on Adperks!! Yeah!!!
Thanks Challice.

I was trying to make it to RA earlier in the week, but just couldn't . . . now I'm glad I didn't. Off to print that coupon and save an extra $1 on a pack of diapers.

Chung's Printable Coupon

Save $0.75/1 any Chung’s Asian food product here. (This is a pdf file, so it can be printed as many times as you want.) Exp. 6/30/10. Thanks Debbie.

I'm thinking that this coupon may make something FREE at GE. Let me know what you find.

Green Works Coupon

I have no ideal for how much Green Works detergent sells, but here's a coupon for $3/1 GreenWorksLaundryDetergent. Thank you Debbie.

The bigger question in my mind right now is . . . Does Rite Aid sell GW laundry detergent?

'Cause if they do. . . (Challice very helpfully informed me that it's $11.99/1 at Rite Aid. Here's to hoping for a spectacular sale, an in-ad coupon, and a Wellness+ or Video Value coupon to go along. A SCR for June would be acceptable as well. . . hint, hint Rite Aid. Challice also said that it's around $8.99/1 at the regular grocery store.)

(NOTE: There is an ad that prints out below the coupon. If you want to conserve ink and/or paper, only insert a half page into the printer.)

Giant Eagle 5/20 - 5/26

These are the Giant Eagle deals that I see this week: (Obviously, anything that is FREE is a great deal.)

Giant Eagles ad runs from Thursday to Wednesday.
My GE doubles all coupons up to $0.99.
Don't forget to load your GE card with e-coupons from Shortcuts and Cellfire.
Be careful with the CAT deals. If you do two of the same CAT deals in the same transaction, the CAT may not print. Check your ad to make sure that you separate like CAT deals into separate transactions.
Remember, you can order coupons that you don't have from a CouponClippingService.

This has got to be the deal of the week. . . no month. . . . maybe even the past several months! : )
This should go by shelf price, so . . .
8 McCormick Grill Mates marinade packets (pg. 2) (shelf $1.39/1) $1/1 = $8/8

[AND, just another thought: Most of us in the Pittsburgh area won't be able to come up with 8 coupons due to the fact that we get our Red Plum in the mail. Our options would be to either purchase these coupons (They can be bought on Ebay or from a coupon clipping service) or join in with friends until we come up with enough coupons (I have 4 and a friend has 4 = 8).

Rite Aid 5/16 to 5/22

A couple of notes to start with:

Make sure you know RiteAid'sCouponPolicy. Print out a copy to keep with you. This will be a great help when you get a cashier, or even a manager, who doesn't know the policy.
Go to Rite Aid AdPerks to watch videos and earn Rite Aid Video Value coupons. You will be able to earn a $5/$20 Rite Aid coupon, as well as a coupon for each product for which you watch a video. There does not appear to be a limit as to how many Video Values accounts you can have per address. . . so sign up your husband, and the rest of your family, and earn more coupons if desired.
Print out and take additional $5/$20 coupons with you. Remember, the $5/$20 coupon is only available after you watch enough AdPerks videos. (Rite Aid Video Values only allows you to choose to print the coupon one time. You can not go back and choose to print it again later. That being said, when you originally choose to print the coupon a print screen will pop up. On that print screen it has a place for you to type in how many times you want the page printed. I try to print out at least 20 for the month as I average using around 5 a week. NOTE that the coupon is good for 2 months. So if I have any extra I just use them the following month.)
Rite Aid has just rolled out their new program Wellness+ nationwide. If you haven't already done so, sign up for your rewards card online or in stores.

Saturday, May 15, 2010

I've been busy . . .

Friday and Saturday morning, we had a yard sale. . . . that's pretty much taken up my time for the last couple of days. : ) I actually skipped my Rite Aid run this week. Shocking, I know!

About the yard sale, we didn't do all that well. But we did learn some things. And we think it was mainly a traffic problem. . . . we needed more traffic. (Most of the people that stopped bought stuff.) I'll try to post some pictures later.
