Great way to earn +UPs

Here is a great deal if you want to start earning some +UPs from RA for future visits.

(2) Tide Detergents $11.98
(4) Revlon nail polishes...Buy One at $4.79 get one at $2.39 (BOG50%) $14.36

=$26.34
-$5/$25 RA coupon (email me and I will send you a printable Coupon)
-(2) $1MC for Tide (from P&G insert Nov 28)
-(4) $3 RA coupons (email me and I will send you a printable Coupon)

= $7.34 Out of your pocket plus earn $14+UPS for future visits.

So for about $8 you are getting 2 Tides and 4 nail polishes (think summer! Or gifts, stocking stuffers, etc)

And the best is that you get (2) $1 +UPS from the Tide and (2) $4 +UPs from the nail polish. And you SHOULD get (4) $1 UPS from the nail polish but not sure if they are printing. I will let you know when I do the deal today.

Now if you do this a second time, like I will, you could use your +UPS from your first visit to pay for your second visit so OOP would be $0.34. You would have used $7+UPS, have $7+UPS remaining and earn an additional $14+UP.

So the big picture would be under $10 OOP for (4) Tide detergents which we could all use and 8 nail polishes, which may be extreme, but hey, cheap laundry detergent and lots of +UPS is worth it.

Emma wants a sleepover bday party and she wants to do makeup, hair, nails, etc. I see party favors in the making!

CVS w/o Dec 5

The only thing I am attempting here is to score some zhu zhu pets. They are on sale buy one get one free. There is also a CVS coupon for Buy 2 get 1 free. So here is how it works...

Buy 4 Zhu-Zhu Pets
2 will be free with the Buy 1 – Get 1 FREE sale
1 will be free with the Buy 2 – Get 1 FREE coupon

Hoping to find these for stocking stuffers!

Walgreens w/o Dec 5

I will probably stop real quick at Walgreens tomorrow to get some birthday cards and some nail polish. I have some RR to roll before they expire.

Revlon nail polish is $5.99 -$1 walgreens coupon and earn $5 RR.

Hallmark cards...they have 99 cent cards, buy 2 and earn $2 in RR.

woohoo. real exciting.

December 5th at Rite Aid

Nothing too exciting happening at RA...although the more I think about it, I love Pistachios and chocolate so stocking up on both for the holidays is ok by me! I have $18+UP to start with.

Trip #1
(4) RA brand pistachios (3.88) $15.52 (+9 UP)
(2) Colgate Toothpaste (2.99) $5.98 (+4 UP)
(1) Hershey Pot O Gold $3.99 (+2UP)

= $25.49
-$5 RA Coupon
-(2) $2 MC (colgate from Dec 5th insert)
- $1 MC (Hershey Pot O Gold from Dec 5th insert)
= $15.49
-$15 +UP
=$0.49 plus earn $15+UP in return

Trip #2
(4) Diamond Chopped Walnuts (2/$6) $12 ($3+UP)
(2) Colgate $5.98 ($4+UP)
(2) Hershey Pot O Gold $7.98 ($4 + UP)
= $25.96
-$5 RA Coupon
-$4 MC (Walnuts)
-$2 MC (Hershey's Pot O Gold)
=$14.96
-$14 +UP
=$0.96 plus earn $11+UP


I will do trip #1 a second time to not only stock up on Pistachios, which we all love, but there is also a mail in rebate on the Pot O Gold where you get $5 when you spend $15.

So all together I will spend $1.94 OOP and end up with $15+UPs, a $1 single check rebate through RA, and a $5 rebate through Hershey, and a whole bunch of chocolate and pistachios! Oh yeah, and some toothpaste to donate.

Wegmans Deal

I stumbled on this today at Wegmans...thankful I had my binder full of coupons! LOL

Secret Deodorant (not trial, not full size) was on sale for $0.69. I had a coupon for $5 off Olay Body wash when you buy a Secret Deodorant. So I bought 8. (O: Couldn't stop myself! I have a serious problem. (O: But, $5.50 for 8 deodorant and 8 bodywash is not bad. Not as good as Rite Aid, but still not bad.

And I had 3 of those coupons left, plus some extra BOGO deodorant coupons that I really wanted to use at Rite Aid. I only had 1 $5/$25 with me so I was worried that I wasn't going to get the most for my money. Have no fear.

I bought 8 more full size deodorant, 3 trial size secret, 1 olay body wash, 2 olay packs of soap, and 4 tootsie roll banks ($1 each, for the girls stockings) and my total was $2.40.

Now to start planning on HOW to get through this crazy stockpile I have created!

Rite Aid Plan for Sunday 11/21

Not going to be too big of a week at RA. I stock piled shampoo, conditioner, and deodorant last week for well, the rest of my life! LOL Until it is free again...can't pass up free!

Some of this is going to help transfer my +UP rewards, which expire, into cash through RA's Single Check Rebate program. I think I have $44 +UP! Can't let them go to waste!

Deal #1
(3) Chow Mein Noodles and (1) Ramen Noodle $4/4 receive $2+UP
(10) Cans Carnation Evaporated Milk $10/10 receive $4 +UP
(8) Healthy Choice Soup $3/2 receive $4+UP

TOTAL $26 (no tax on food!)
-$5/$25
-$1/3 Chow Mein
-$2.50/8 MC for Evaporated Milk
- $4 Healthy Choice MC
-$13 +UP (previously earned)
=$0.50 OOP and earn $10 +UP

Deal #2...work in progress...Emma is hungry.
(1) Motrin $4
(4) Deodorant $7.98
(1) AMO Saline Solution $7.99
(4) Zone Bars $5.40

Total=$25.37
-$5/$25
-$4.35 MC Zone Bars
-$7.98 MC deodorant
-$3 Motrin Coupons ($1 Adperk and $2 MC)
= $5.04
-$5 UP rewards
=$0.04 + tax and receive $12 in single check rebates

Deal #3
On Tuesday I will be going back to do this deal, twice...

(1) Olay Regenerist $22
(1) Olay Body Wash $6

-$5/$25 RA coupon
-$6 Free Body wash coupon
-$1/$10 RA skin care coupon

= $14
-$14 +UP
=0.00 OOP

After doing this twice I can submit for a $20 rebate from RA and a $20/$50 rebate from P&G.
So it cost me $28 in my +UP rewards and I get $40 back in cash rebates. Nice moneymaker.

Quickie to Rite Aid

I did two big makeup trips to RA on Tuesday. It was fun since I NEVER buy makeup for myself. I ended up buying about $60 worth of makeup and only paid about $6. for it. If I had found a filler I could have paid about $4 b/c it would have allowed me to use more +UP money.

Anyway, I found some more coupons so I will be going back and getting the following:

(5) Herbal Essence $14.95
(4) Right Guard $7.98
(2) Zone Bars $2.70

Total= 25.63

-$5/$25 RA printable coupon
- $10 b/c of (5) $2 off Herbal Essense
- $7.98 b/c of (2) BOGO Deodorant coupons
-$2 b/c of (2) $1 off Zone bars

So just b/c of manufacturing coupons and that Rite Aid coupon my total went from over $25 down to $0.65 plus tax. AND...I earn $2 in play money for each of the shampoos so $10 in +UP rewards.
