Rite Aid June 12

I love shopping at my local Rite Aid. The ladies that work there are wonderful to me. They are so polite and friendly. They are not even bothered that I use coupons, a lot of coupons, always. They have learned that I do not purchase anything unless it is on sale and I have coupon. A new store manager just arrived a few weeks ago and she is doing an excellent job at stocking the shelves with sale merchandise. No longer do I complain about out of stock sale merchandise when I fill out the $3.00 surveys. Yeah.

I clip every coupon and put it in a big binder sorted by category and then by brand. I do not know which insert any of these coupons came out of. You will need to search the coupon databases if you want that information.

Goodies and some possible transaction ideas to help you maximize your savings.

Rite Aid this week Jun 4

This is a great week at Rite Aid for me. I got some really good deals.
My son loves the Gillette body wash. I snagged him several bottles of it and made 2.50 on the deal. Now that is my favorite kind of shopping.


I purchased just about everything on my list. I have to go back tomorrow while I am running other errands because I want to get the other 2 toothbrushes and do the veet deal again.

Transaction #1
2 Gillette body wash (5.29) sale 3.50 each
2 Physicians Formula bronzer 12.95 b1g1free
19.95 subtotal
1.40  tax

     paid with
4.00 up
1.85 out of pocket (.45 +1.40 tax)
received no ups, but did get 3.00 survey

Transaction #2
Exactly same as trans #1, but I used a 3/15 survey coupon. Notice the difference in tax.
2 Gillette body wash (5.29) 3.50
2 Physicians Formula bronzer 12.95 b1g1free
19.95 subtotal
1.19 tax
21.14 total
     used

received 5.00 up for physicians formula, and 3.00 survey

I discovered with these two identical transactions that the 3.00 survey coupon reduces your taxable amount. That is great! I need to use one of these with every transaction.

Transaction #3 (to complete the P&G deal, get 10.00 up wyb 30.00 of p&g products)
6 Gillette body wash (5.29) 3.50

Exciting Morning at Rite Aid

With list in hand and coupons ready, I arrived at my local Rite Aid at 8:40am. In my pocket was $27 ups and two $3 surveys to start my journey.

 The following transaction (1) would have cost at regular price 44.01 + 3.08 tax = $47.09

I bought 8 assorted Revlon tools at 40% off for a total of $11.21 (money maker, get $4 ups, wyb 2 tools)
And I bought 2 Proglide razors at (reg 13.29) $9.99 apiece. $4 coupon on each.
total $23.19 plus $1.82 tax

paid with $3 off 15 survey
2 $1 video values
and $17 up rewards
= $4.80 out of pocket

received $26 up rewards, $5 ups for each razor, $4 ups for each 2 tools.
26.00 - 23.19 = $2.81 Profit.
Even after paying $1.82 in tax it is still a $.99 Profit.


That was the first transaction. Here is the second.

2 Raid sprays (5.49) $2.99 each
4 Crest (4.29) $2.99 each, $1.50 coupon each
3 Profoot (9.99) $5.00 each, $1.00 coupon each, $2.00 video values
7 carefree (1.69) $1.00 each, $.50 coupon each
2 Breathe Right $5.99, $5.99 coupon each
Phys Formula $13.95 each b1g1free, $5.00 coupon each, $2.00 video values
5 Excedrin (5.49) $1.99 each, $1.00 coupon each
$75.82 - $42.48 coupons = $33.34 plus tax 2.32

paid with $3 off 15 survey
and $28 ups, the ups I just earned above
$4.66 out of pocket

earned $12 ups, $2 for raid, $8 for crest, $2 for profoot
Regular price for transaction 2 is $136.57 + 9.56 tax = $146.13

Not bad at all. Only $4.66 out of pocket for $146 of products.

Then I noticed that the breathe right counted on the $5 ups for $25 allergy promo. I had 2 more breathe right coupons. So I proceeded with transaction 3.

I purchased 2 breathe right for $6.49 each.
Regular price $12.98 +.91 tax = $13.89
Used coupons for $5.99 each.
$1.91 out of pocket, $1.00 + .91 tax
Received $5 ups

Final total from all 3 transactions
 207.03 Regular Price
   11.37 Out of Pocket
   21.00 ups to use next purchase
     3.00 survey to take
   10.00 scr

No matter how you want to add these figures. This was a great shopping day!

It's Shopping Day! - Rite Aid - 15 items for only 12 cents

I love getting things for free. It is best way I have found to provide for my family and build up a reserve. The cost of everything is going up. I try very hard to reduce the costs to my family for the things we need. I describe myself as ultra-frugal. I am a smart coupon shopper and take advantage of deals when they present themselves.

Yesterday morning's shopping trip at Rite Aid is an example of how I use coupons to get the things I need for free. Okay, almost free. It cost me 12 cents plus tax.

Gillette Body Wash was on sale for 2.99 with 2.00 ups rewards. I bought 2 of these and used 2 buy one get one free coupons. You can attach one manufacturers coupon to each item you purchase.

Right Guard Deodorant was on sale for 40% off. I purchased 4 of these and used 4 buy one Right Guard product and get one Right Guard Body Wash for free coupons. The deodorants were bonus packs with a free body wash attached. 

Complete eye solution was on sale for 7.99 with a 7.99 single check rebate. I purchased one of these using a 1.00 off coupon.

Total products purchased
6 full size body washes 
4 small size body washes 
4 deodorants
1 eye solution

Regular Price: 59.29 + 4.15 tax = 63.44
But whoever pays regular price?

  45.05 sale price
- 24.94 coupons
- 12.00 up rewards used
=  8.11 subtotal before tax
3.15 tax
= 11.26 out of pocket
7.99 single check rebate
=  3.27

This 3.27 includes 3.15 in tax, leaving the cost for all products just .12.
Tax is part of product costs. I have to pay this so it is included in my calculations.

I hope you where able to have a great shopping trip also.
