RITE AID:
I did two transactions.

T1:
(3) Diapers $11 each
(2) Huggies Wipes $2.50 each
Subtotal: $38.00
Used $5/20 coupon
Used (3) $2 Rite Aid coupons for Huggies
Used (2) $3 Huggies coupons
Used (1) $2 Huggies coupon
Used .75 wipes coupon
Used .50 wipes coupon
Paid $20.89 with tax- I will get back $10 for the Huggies and $1 for the wipes and .75 from Caregivers for a net of $9.14.
(This would have been a better deal with two transactions and using (2) $5/20 coupons but I felt that Rite Aid was more than generous already and didn’t want to push my luck. Also I did check with the store manager and presented all my coupons and was given the thumbs up.)
.
T2:
Nexxus Dualiste Shampoo $12.99
Nexxus Humectress Conditioner $9.99
Subtotal: $22.98
Used $5/20 Rite Aid coupon
Used $4 Nexxus Dualiste RA coupon
Used $3 Nexxus RA coupon
Used (2) $1 manufacturer coupons
Paid: $10.30 with tax and will get $10 back in a rebates!!

TARGET:
I found the Cranium games I told you about HERE marked at $7.00!
Used the $5 Target coupon and paid $2.17 with tax.
.
SAVEMART:
Used a rain check from a few weeks ago for (9) mangoes priced at $.33 each! These were marked at $2 each this week.
10 lbs potatoes on sale for .97
Paid: $3.94
**This is a great example of how to really maximize loss leaders. This is not a store I normally shop at but I skim all the ads for the stores in my area every week. I can save a ton on produce by just buying the loss leaders at each store.
.
WALGREENS:
7th Generation Laundry Soap $2.29
(4) cans Campbells Cream soups .89 each with in ad coupon, used (2) $1/2 coupons
Paid: 4.04
.
So I actually spent $41.34 (ouch!) BUT I will get back $16.74 in rebates for a net total of $24.60
.
AND I have spent $90.88 (before coupons) at Rite Aid- so just one more transaction and I will get a $20 gift certificate back!
.
If you want to see the full breakdown of my Rite Aid Gift of Savings rebates this month just click HERE. I actually made a profit buying (3) Huggies Diapers. (2) Huggies wipes tubs, (4) Nexxus, Electrasol Dish Soap and (10) Johnson and Johnson Baby items!

    For the nexxus transaction I think it is 4 rebates.I did $10 worth transactions twice on different weeks just to confirm and got back (2) $5 rebates till now. It's confusing that the website says 4 rebates and the the store pamphlet says only 1.

    Thanks for telling me! I will submit my receipt asap and see what happens! I was thinking I lost my mind because I knew I saw limit 4 and then I glanced at the booklet and it said limit 1. I always appreciate people reassuring me that I am not crazy.

    Tip on Rite Aid, check the clearance: The single serving Honey Nut Cheerios are in the clearance for .49 each. If you still have the $1/2 coupons (which I did) then = 2 for .02 overage.

    How do you get more than one 5/20. I got one then listened to more videos to get another and wasn't given the opportunity.

    My riteaid would not let me use my ad perk coupon with the huggies $3 manf. coupon. Is it a store by store policy or is it written out somewhere. I still got each pack own to $3/pack so I still scored. Any suggestions. I love your site!

    my rite aid let me ust the ad perks and a $3 huggies coupon for each of the 3 huggies I bought. In fact, I bought regular huggies and gave the gal the coupons pure and natural diapers and the girl took them. She just figured huggies were huggies. With rebate, my 3 packs of huggies came to $1 a pack!
