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.
