Staples, Rite Aid, & CVS

Went to Staples back on March 28th and enrolled in their rewards program. Purchased 2 packs of Hammermill copy paper and 2 packs of Duracell batteries and will be getting a 100% rebate on all 4 items. In the end I paid $2.28 in sales tax and saved $37.96.



Rite Aid was decent today. I paid a few dollars for things I have no use for, but I can't pass it up when it's dirt cheap, and I love being able to donate to people in need.

In two transactions, the grand total was $92.96. After savings, I paid $33.80 out of pocket and walked out with $10 in rewards to spend next time. That's 74% savings on:

• 2 Garnier Fructis Anti-Dandruff Shampoos 
• ($5.49 each - BOGO 50% off - 2x $1 cpn = $3.12 each)
• 1 Garnier Herbashine Hair Color ($8.49)
• (-$3 cpn & $5 reward earned = $5.49 or "49 cents")
• 2 packs of Scunci Hair ties ($3.99 each)
• (2x $2.99 sale price - 2x $2.99 reward earned  = $2.99 each or "free")
• 2 Gillette Body Washes ($4.99 each)
• (2x cpn free with purchase of Gillette Deodorant = free)
• 2 Gillette Deodorants ($4.99 each)
• (2x $1 cpn & $2 reward earned = $3.99 each or "$2.99 each")
• 2 Old Spice Body Washes ($4.99 each)
• (2x cpn free with purchase of Old Spice Deodorant = free)
• 2 Old Spice Deodorants ($4.99 each)
• (-$1 on two & $2 reward earned = $4.49 each or "$3.49 each")
• 2 Gillette Fusion ProGlide Razors ($10.99 & $12.99)
• (2x $9.99 sale price - 2x $3 cpn - 2x $5 reward earned = $6.99 each or "$1.99 each")

I'm glad I went to CVS today and not later in the week. People had already started clearing shelves by the afternoon. 

Again, in two transactions the grand total was $46.75. After savings I paid $22.44 out of pocket and walked out with $13.99 in rewards to use next time. That's 82% savings on:

• 2 Wisk Detergents ($8.39 each)
• (sale BOGO free - 2x -$2 cpn = $2.20 each)
• 1 Complete Multi-Purpose Eye Solution
• ($1 cpn - $8.99 reward earned = $7.99 or "free + $1 earned!")
• 2 packs of G.U.M. Flossers ($3.39 each)
• (sale $2 each - 2x $2 reward earned = $4 or "free")
• 1 Gold Bond Body Wash ($7.29)
• (sale $5.88 - $2 cpn - $3 reward earned = $3.88 or "88 cents")
• 2 Crest Pro Health Rinses ($5.49 each)
• (sale $3.49 each - 2x $1 cpn - 2x $2.50 reward earned = $2.49 each or "free + 1 cent earned")
• 4 Oral B Toothbrushes ($3.79 each)
• (sale $2.99 each - 2x $2 cpn - BOGO free cpn - 2x 99 cent reward earned = $1.24 each or "75 cents each")
• Just want to say the clerk did not ring up my second BOGO cpn because she had herself too confused - had she done so, I would have gotten all 4 for 50 cents each, or "free", but mistakes happen, and I'll save it for next time.
