Paying $14.50 for $67.65 worth of product, and getting $55.68 back!!!

I have worked out the 3 stores I will hit Thanksgiving morning (my kids will be at my mothers making pies)  I will pay a total of $14.50 plus tax and walk out with $55.68 in RR, ECB or UP+, for a total of $67.65 worth of product:  Here are my lists:

Rite Aid:                         Price              Coupons   
Vaseline Lotion              2.99                  $1(RP 11/14)
Dial Hand Soap              .99                    $1 Rite Aid clip and save
Colgate Toothpaste          1.77                 $1 (SS 11/14)
2 Cottonelle Wipes           3.76                 $1 video value coupon, .50 printable
Using $3 in UP+

Total due: $1.66, $3 in up
If you have no UP your totals will be:  $4.66, get $3 back in UP+ Not bad!

CVS: This is a LONG ONE
Advil PM (99 cents)
Excedrin 8 ct (99 cents)
Colgate Sensitive (3.99, $1 SS 11/14)
Eucerin Lotion (6.99, $1 RP 11/7)
Herbal Essense (buying 2) (3.99 each/ .50/1 RP 11/14)
Listerine Pocketpacks (2.99 each. .50 RP 10/10) (buying 2)
Carmex lipbalm (.99, SS 11/7 30 cent coupon)
2 Gillette Deoderant (4 each, using 2 $2 off coupons PG 10/31)
Reese singles (.79)
Phillips in ear headphnes (6.99)
Using: $5/$25 coupon that was emailed as well as free instore toothbrush coupon HERE

Paying $10.89 and getting $43.69 back in ECB- So I make about $13 (43.69-10.89 OOP-19.50ECB)
I also am starting with $19.50 in ECB, but either way you get ALL of your money back in ECB.

So if you have NO ECB to start with you would pay $ 30.39 and get $43.69 back in ECB- still a $13.30 in profit!  NOT BAD. PLUS all that stuff!

Walgreens

I had to split this up because of the RR I had:

1. Gillete Fusion Skin Care $5.49, using $5 in RR, paying 49 cents, getting $5.50 in RR back

2.
Colgate ($2.99, using $1 11/14 SS)
Advil 4 Ct (.99)
Crest (2.99, $1 Pg 10/10)
Scrunchi (1.99)
Use the $5.50 in RR to pay a total of $1.46 and get $8.99 back in RR
If you don't have any RR these will be your totals and you could do it all in one transaction:  $12.45 pay and get $14.49 back in RR

I end up with a grand total of $13.68 MORE in rewards monies than I started with or paid out of pocket.  THAT is a great value. 



PLEASE post any other scenerios or deals you've found.  These are just items my family will use or I can give away there are many other deals out there!

  1. In the Wags scenario, Gillette is a P&G product. If you use the RR to pay for the second scenario, will you still get a RR for the Crest which is also a P&G product?

  2. OOOHHH- great catch! I'm not sure....I know that if it is the same AMOUNT it will not give a RR- but I've never had a problem with the same manufacturer. It might be safer to pull it out and pay for it seperately (a bit more OOP but same totals)
