EDIT! Forgot a few B&BW deals; added to end of post on 01.31.09.
This weeks haul! :) Here's the breakdown, starting with Walgreens. We needed trash bags, so I grabbed these. I knew they were on sale, but didn't realize they had a rebate too!
$1.99 - Tuf Kitchen Trash Bags 30 Ct.
Subtotal: $1.99
Paid OOP: $1.99 + tax (cash)
Will Receive: $1.00 Wags Rebate
$0.99 isn't bad for a 30 pack of trash bags. No complaint on the quality either. Next few transactions are from CVS. A friend of mine gave me a helpful hint; give ECBs first, this cuts down on the tax and makes your OOP much lower. The only problem I ran into was running a negative total, so I'd have to throw in something small to make up the difference. But it definitely makes the OOP lower!
$24.95 - Gillette Mens Shampoo @ $4.99/ea. x 5
$1.19 - CVS 30 Ct. Cough Drops
Subtotal: $26.14
Used: $15.00 ECB
- $1.19 CVS Coupon (scanner)
- $10.00 Gillette Coupons ($2.00/ea. x 5) (PG 12/28, PG 1/18)
New Subtotal: - $0.05
Paid OOP: $0.70 (tax only)
Received: $15.00 ECB (gillette)
$14.97 - Gillette Shampoo @ $4.99/ea. x 3
$1.19 - CVS 30 Ct. Cough Drops
$0.89 - Chunky Candy Bar
Subtotal: $17.05
Used: $9.98 ECB
- $1.19 CVS Coupon (scanner)
- $6.00 Gillette Coupons ($2.00/ea. x 3) (PG 12/28, PG 1/18)
New Subtotal: - $0.12
Paid OOP: $0.25 (tax only)
Received: $9.00 ECB (gillette)
My total was originally negative sixty-six cents, so I threw in the Chunky candy to fix that. Oops! :) I forgot to use ECBs first for the next couple of transactions. I wrote the scenarios out in the exact order I paid ECB/Coupons or Coupons/ECB.
$7.99 - Gillette Fusion Gamer Razor
$7.99 - Nasogel
Subtotal: $15.98
- $2.00 Nasogel Coupon (IP)

Used: $2.00 ECB, $7.58 ECB
Paid OOP: $0.40 + tax (cash)
Received: $4.00 ECB (gillette), $7.99 ECB (nasogel)
This was my test transaction for the razors. The limit is published as 1, but people on the forums are reporting a limit of 5!! Sure enough, my limit was not reached at 1. I will also receive $3.00 for the Nasogel MIR that's inside the box.
$31.96 - Gillette Fusion Gamer Razors @ $7.99/ea. x 4
Subtotal: $31.96

Next up, Walgreens, to attempt the Unilever "buy 8 products get $10.00 RR" deal.

Subtotal: $23.92

New Subtotal: $9.92
Paid OOP: $9.92 + tax
Received: $10.00 RR
!!! This was an awesome deal for me, since Dove deodorant is the only deodorant I can use that doesn't cause any skin reactions. I was excited about this one. On the forums the deal seemed to be hit or miss all week. I waited for someone to post the UPC code for the working deodorants and I lucked out and found ONLY 8 on the shelf of the exact kind I needed. UPC # 79400 50730 Dove Original Clean only.
The last stop this week was Rite Aid. I actually did two separate, but identical, purchases and just stuck them in the same picture...
$3.99 - Veet Bladeless Razor Kit
$2.99 - Garnier Body Volume Shampoo
Subtotal: $6.98
- $2.00 Veet Coupon (IP)
- $1.00 Garnier Coupon (RP 1/4)
New Subtotal: $3.98
Paid OOP: $3.98 + tax (cash)
Will Receive: $3.00 Rebate (veet), $2.99 Rebate (garnier)
Rinse & repeat!
Also another wonderful event this week was finally getting our hardwood floors installed. It turned out beautiful. I just had to share...
Edit! I forgot I ran to Bath & Body Works earlier this week to take advantage of some email coupons I received. They were for a FREE Signature (original packaging) product, up to $12.00, with ANY purchase. The "original packaging" note made sense when we got to the store. Looks like B&BW has redesigned their bottles and are clearancing out the old styles. I also noticed the smaller sizes and higher prices. Mmhmm...
$5.00 - Cucumber Melon Body Spray
$1.00 - Raspberry Plum Lip Balm
Subtotal: $6.00
- $5.00 B&BW Coupon
New Subtotal: $1.00
Paid OOP: $1.00 + tax (cash)
$5.00 - Irresistible Apple Body Spray
$2.00 - Black Stuffed Sheep
Subtotal: $7.00
- $5.00 B&BW Coupon
New Subtotal: $2.00
Paid OOP: $2.00 + tax (cash)
My dogs LOVED the little sheep I bought a few weeks ago, so I grabbed another so they quit fighting over it. :)
