Wags through 3/7

Lots of super deals! (p.s. sorry i'm wordy to today)
--Vaseline lotions are 25% off this week and produce a $2 RR. Many items are $3.49 or less which would make them $2.61 or less...there have been coupons in the paper for Vaseline lotions ranging from $.55 to $1.50 off. When you use the $1.50 coupon, you'll pay $1.11 out of pocket and get a $2 RR back = $.89 profit. Additionally, here is a $1 off coupon
--Blink Tears Eye Drops are $7.99 with a $7.99 RR. Supposedly there were $2 coupons in the paper this Sunday, but I couldn't find them. Otherwise, you can click here and print out a $1.50 coupon, for a $1.50 profit.
--Colgate MaxFresh (not total) is $3.29 with $3.50 RR. Use the .75 coupon from the paper or print a $1 coupon here, for $1.21 profit. Since the RR you're getting is actually higher than the cost you're making a profit if you walk in and forget all your coupons at home...
--in March when you buy 6 Dove items you get $6 RRs, when you buy 8 Dove items you get $10 RRs. On page 9 of the weekly ad there is a coupon for $.99 Dove bars. SO, buy 8, get $10 back for $2.08 profit. The only catch would be finding 8 bars in one store!
--Nabisco 4-6 oz cookies & crackers (yeah, that's really small) are BOGO at $1.99. Use the $2 off 2 Nabisco coupon from the paper and get them both for free.

Use Sambucol profit to make your out of pocket lower!

Also, use your Excedrin Register Rewards from last week to buy RR items for this week! Just remember, you must have as many items as coupons. You may do the above RR deals as many times as you want, but you cannot use the RR to buy the same product. For instance you may pay for the Blink with the Colgate & Vaseline RRs but not with the a Blink RR. Clear as mud? Check out Wags How To and perhaps it will help!

Walgreens monthly & through 1/17

It seems that I have failed to mention the January FAR (Free after Rebate) items at Wags. I have posted randomly when particular rebate items were on sale like the Neti-Pot or Electrosol but didn't post the FAR items. Sorry! I remembered yesterday when I saw yet another Orajel rebate in the Sunday paper - big profit. It goes like this:

Orajel Cold Sore $8.49
Coupon: $1 coupon from 1/11 paper
Out of Pocket: $7.49 + tax
Wags EasySaver rebate + 10% gift card bonus: $9.33
Orajel Rebate from 1/11 paper: $8
Profit: $9.84

Yeah, I'm probably not going to use this product, but I'll sure as heck use the $9.84 to buy something I need/want!

Other FAR items:
Revlon Matte Collection (up to $10)
AutoExpressions Vent Fresh Elite $4.99
___________________________________________

Here are some super weekly deals:
**Windex Wipes, Scrubbing Bubbles & Fantastik are buy one get one free. Use the Mail-In-Rebate for Windex Wipes from yesterday's (1/11) paper and get two items free! Also, use the $.40 coupon for Windex and the $1 coupon for Scrubbing Bubbles or Fantastik, for an additional $1.40 in profit.
**Oust Air Sanitizer is also included in the buy one get one free above, however, there was a BOGO free coupon in the 11/23 paper, use it to get two for free.
**Aquafresh is $2.99. Use the $2 coupon from the EasySaver Catalog and print a $1 coupon to make it free.
**Pepsi is $5 for $15 and you get a $5 Register Reward. I think this is the best price I've seen on 12 packs in a LONG time - $2 each (see retraction of this statement here)! This is going to kill my 'profit,' but it is definitely worth it!

Neti -Pot?

What a weird name and dare I say weird product?

Last week I bought Nasogel for one of the monthly deals at CVS. I showed Jeremy my interesting purchase and he mentioned that he might like a Neti-Pot, which is produced by the same company (and which by the way is eligible for the same $3 Nasogel (Neilmed) rebate). So I get to looking around, and yes, I could get it for $14.99 at CVS and kill the great profit I have going, but I realized that Wags has their generic Neti-Pot for $9.99 this week with a $5 EasySaver Rebate. Anways, I thought this was a great deal for anyone else out there looking to purchase this.

YTD Out of Pocket: $17.74
YTD Saved: $47.86
YTD Actual Spent: $4.59 (we've changed from profit to Actual Spent, but that just means of ALL the purchases I made I've only lost $4.59! The rest of my out of pocket I got back in rebates and register rewards!)

Walgreens - Year to Date

I'm going to do the same year to date stuff as in the CVS post. The rules are just about the same except it will include Register Rewards & rebates.

Out of Pocket: The actual amount I give the cashier. This is after all coupons, register rewards, and x/xx coupons. The Out of Pocket does not include mail-in rebates, see the Actual Spent is what I have 'lost.'

Saved: What's listed at the bottom of each receipt

Profit/Actual Spent: Register Rewards received PLUS rebates received MINUS Register Rewards spent & MINUS out of pocket spent. My profit tally will go up and down throughout the year depending on whether I've made money or bought that milk I really needed and maybe didn't have the coupons to cover it. Change - Added Actual Spent: you know what, I can't always get it for free, or make a profit, so when I begin to lose my profit. I will change it to YTD Actual Spent to show what I've actually lost - after all rebates, register rewards and coupons.

Year to Date Out of Pocket: $17.04
Year to Date Saved: $35.86
Year to Date Profit: $0.61
