Diaperpaloooooza at Rite Aid this week!

It’s been SOOO long since I’ve hit a good diaper deal, that I just HAD to post about it!  Rite Aid totally came through for me this week!  I am now 5 jumbo packs of Pampers richer.  And not that much poorer!  Check out this post on Southern Savers for the easy version of this deal.  Mine was of course more complicated. :)

I did three total transactions over two days.  Because, I realized I could go back for more!  I’ll explain.

My first transaction was pretty straightforward:

2 packs Pampers $19.98 ($9.99 each)

2 packs refill Pampers wipes $11.98 ($5.99 each)

total = $31.96

-$2 Pampers coupon from P&G mailer

-$1.50 Pampers coupon from coupons.com

-$1.50 two 75 cents off Pampers wipes coupon from coupons.com

-$2 +UP Rewards from last week’s visit

= $24.96 + tax, and I got back a $10 +UP reward for buying $30 worth of P&G products

NOW – the fun part.  The diapers also counted for a promo where you buy $25 worth of baby care products, you get back a $5 +UP Reward.  So I had $20 towards that reward. Sadly the wipes didn’t count for that one, but I needed wipes so I got ‘em.  Therefore, I did another transaction to get this reward and some other things. I bought:

1 Pampers jumbo pack $9.99

1 Playtex Winnie-the-Pooh cup $4.49 ($4.99  but I got my 10% wellness + discount on it since it was “regular price”)

1 Colgate 360 toothbrush – clearance $1.99

4 Cadbury creme eggs $2.36 (you know, because I needed some FILLERS, not because I am obsessed with them)

total = $18.83

-$1.50 Pampers coupon from coupons.com

-$4 Playtex baby item Rite Aid in-ad coupon

-$2 Colgate toothbrush Rite Aid in-ad coupon

-$.75 cents Colgate printable coupon from coupons.com

-$10 +UP Rewards from previous transaction

= 58 cents + tax, and I got back the $5 +UP Reward for buying $25 worth of baby products

THEN, I realized from my receipt that the limit on baby product deal was TWO.  SO I could do that again.  I had $5 credit toward that because I’d bought $30 worth of Pampers and you only needed $25 to get the reward.  So, if I bought 2 more jumbo packs of Pampers, I’d get another $5 +UP Reward.  BONUS – I’d also gotten a $2 off Playtex coupon in my email by signing up for Playtex’s newsletter. So, I planned to get another sippy cup and get overage.  Also, my Rite Aid had another clearance Colgate toothbrush so I planned to get another one of those as well and get overage.  My plan worked ALMOST perfectly –  I somehow lost one of my Pampers coupons! So I cost myself $1.50 with that mistake but it all still went pretty well.  I got:

Two more jumbo packs of Pampers $19.98 ($9.99 each)

Playtex Winnie-the-Pooh cup $4.49

Colgate toothbrush clearance $1.99

total= $26.46

-$1.50 Pampers coupon from coupons.com

-$4 Playtex Rite Aid in-ad coupon

-$2 Playtex manufacturer’s coupon

-$2 Colgate Rite Aid in-ad coupon

-$.75 Colgate manufacturer’s coupon from SS insert

-$5 +UP Rewards from yesterday’s transaction

=$11.21 + tax, and I got back another$5 +UP Reward

So, all in all I spent $36.75 + tax for 5 jumbo packs of Pampers, two refill packs of wipes, two Playtex sippy cups, two Colgate toothbrushes, and 4 Cadbury eggs.

And I have $5 +UP Rewards for next time. I. AM. HAPPY!

Please Note!!!!! The baby care deal where you get the extra $5 +UP, is over TOMORROW, March 6th.  The P&G deal, where you get $10 +UP, is good all week.

One  other note: We REALLY needed wipes and we only had 1.5 packs of diapers left. I was getting nervous about both of these situations.  Also, just yesterday morning before I saw this deal I was complaining to Bobby that we were low on sippy cups.  I see this deal as just another way God meets our needs and honors my attempts to be frugal.  And I want to make sure I say that loudly!

Happy Shopping!

Revlon Tools money-maker at Rite Aid!

Oh my gosh! I am actually posting about my shopping trip! MIRACLE!  I REALLY miss posting about my shopping trips, but sadly it’s one of the things I’ve had to give up since having baby #3. I am TRYING to get back to it, though.  I am still coupon shopping every week, I just haven’t been able to post about my sweet deals.  However, today I decided I was going to give myself the gift of posting about this no matter what.  So, here goes.

There is an awesome money-maker deal at Rite Aid on Revlon beauty tools. If you buy 2, you get $4 +UP Rewards!  No matter how much the tools cost!  I bought a set of emery boards and some nail clippers. They were priced at $1.25 and $1.45 but rang up and 75 and 87 cents.  And I got the $4 +UP!  No coupons needed! WOW!  If I haven’t had the baby with me, I would have gone back and gotten more.  Not sure what the limit is on this deal.

Here’s what I got today:

Crest toothpaste $2.99

Oral B toothbrush $2.99

Fusion ProGlide power razor $9.99

Rite Aid allergy meds for kids (generic Zyrtec) $8.99

Revlon emery boards $.75

Revlon nail clippers $.87

total = $26.58

coupons

-$3/$15 Rite Aid coupon I got for taking a survey (look for this offer on the bottom of your Rite Aid receipt)

-$1.50 Crest toothpaste today’s P&G

-$1.50 Oral B toothbrush today’s P&G

-$4 Fusion today’s P&G

-$14 +UP Rewards from last week

=$2.58 + $1.65 tax = $4.23

and I got back $13 +UP Rewards!!! 4 for the Revlon tools, 5 for the Fusion razor, and 2 each for the Crest and Oral B.

WOOT!  Hoping to go back and get some more Revlon tools maybe tomorrow.

What did YOU get at Rite Aid this week??
