My Awesome Buys Today

Today, thanks to several money-saving websites, I was able to put together a plan to get some amazing deals at CVS & Rite-Aid.  I'm only going to detail my Rite-Aid purchases, but I'll post my CVS picture, which ended up being free after ECB's!!!  Okay, here goes:

Transaction #1:

5          $5.00      Crest Pro-Health 1l bottles

Coupons Used:

$5/$25 Rite-Aid coupon

5    $2/1 Crest Pro-Health Coupons

Total: $10 + tax  (Found this deal on Money Saving Mom)

***I will receive $20 in rebates for:

$10  when you buy 4 Crest Pro-Health Items

$10  when you buy $25 worth of oral care products

1          Buy One Pamper's Diapers/Get One Pamper's Wipes Free Coupon

1          1.50/Pamper's Diapers

            **The wipes were on sale for B1G1 50% off, so I got the full-priced one for free, and paid 1/2 price

            on the 2nd!

1          .50/Oral-B Stages Tooth Brush

1          .75/Oral-B Advantage Tooth Brush

1          1.00/Tide Stain Release

2          Buy One Herbal Essences Hair Product, Get One Styler for Free

1          1.00/LA Looks Hair Product

Post Coupon/Pre-UP Rewards and Rebate Total: $22.97 + Tax

Rebates and UP Rewards (these come from the wellness program card/like CVS or Kroger cards):

UP Rewards:

$2          From the Pamper's purchase

$1.50     From Oral B Toothbrush

$1          From Tide Stain Release (works for detergent, too)

$2          From Herbal Essences Purchase

Single Check Rebates:

$2          From the Pamper's purchase

$1          From the L.A. Looks purchase

So, add the $10 from Trans. 1 to the $23 from Trans. 2, less $23 in rebates and $6.50 in UP Rewards, that makes it all amount to $3.50 (I excluded the tax, which brought everything up to about $6!)!!! I got most of my deal scenario from this money-saving blog post.

***If you have any questions feel free to ask me in the comments.***

P.S.  Here's the pic of everything I got for free at CVS (after ECB's and a small amt. left on a gift card)!!!

The pads were $2/pack after coupons
The Excedrin packs were $1 a pack!!! after coupons
Toothpaste was $.24/pack after ECB's and coupons

Anyhow, I think I got it all! It's been a fun day!
