This is for you, Leah!

So, I talked about my most recent transaction yesterday on facebook and got such a huge response and a request for me to detail how I did my deal at Rite Aid. So here we go!
In this particular transaction I bought:
1 Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower cleaner (regular retail $17.99)
2 Boxes of Ziplock bags (regular retail $3.99 each, $7.98 for 2)
8 packages of stayfree pads (regular retail $4.29 each, $34.32 for 8)
So the total retail price of these items would be: $60.29
So here’s what I did to MAKE money on this transaction:
*I had a coupon for $5 off of a $25 purchase at Rite Aid that I printed off the internet. (-$5)
*I had a raincheck for the scrubbing bubbles (they were out last week and I asked for a raincheck) The coupon was for a sale price of $12.99 PLUS a store coupon for $3 off. (-$8)
*I had a coupon for $7.00 off a SB starter kit that I was able to print by signing up on the SB website. (-$7)
*The ziplock bags were on sale for $1.99 each (-$4)
*I had a coupon for $1 off 2 ziplock products. (-$1)
*Okay, here’s the BEST part of this transaction: A couple weeks ago Rite Aid was having a Buy One Get One FREE sale on the stayfree pads. There was also a Buy One Get One Free coupon in the paper. It doesn’t happen at every store, but at Rite Aid, when they’re having a BOGO sale and you have a BOGO coupon, they cancel each other out so BOTH items are FREE! How awesome is that?? So when they had that sale, they happened to be out of the Stayfree that was on sale, so I asked for a raincheck. I used my raincheck (-$17.16) and then used my 4 BOGO coupons (-$17.16)
So my total out of pocket that I paid for all this was $.97. I was totally excited about that. But after I got home, I realized that the ziplock bags and the scrubbing bubbles qualified me for a rebate put out by the company that makes them. The rebate is for $5 when you buy 3 participating items. So I submitted my rebate and I will be getting back $5.
Which makes my grand total for all these products: + $4.03.
Cool, huh?

    So amazing! I loved reading about it when you broke it all down, plus I like having a blog post with my name in it! =) Cannot wait to hear how the class is on Saturday and for when you start your own class. Maybe you should haev t-shirts made up with the sayings "Coupons DO NOT intimidate me" and "Go To Another Checkout, Sister!"
