Great night!! You want to pay me to shop.. OK!

Ok… despite the near whiteout blowing snow and iced roads.... I went shopping, with all 4 kids and my husband!

Tops

Yesterday you saw that I picked up 30 boxes of cereal.. well today I was alerted to a better coupon, making it a better deal.. correction.. a money maker, meaning Tops and Kellogg’s paid me to take 40 more boxes of cereal!

40 boxes at 1.69 each = 67.60

Target coupon for 5.00/4 boxes (www.target.com)

I used 8 of them -40.00

1.00/2 coupon from paper on 12/16

I used 4 of them -4.00

Total oop was 23.60

BUT… remember the Kellogg’s rebate?? I can submit all 4 receipts for 40.00 back, meaning this deal actually paid me $16.40 !! I will mail this rebate in the morning, since I have all 8 receipts. When the $80 comes in, it will be added to my 2010 budget.

Then it was off to Rite Aid

Olay face wash 9.99

BUT… There is an Olay rebate! www.olay.com has a $15.00 back when you buy any 2 Olay Regenerist facial products. I will submit all 4 receipts and get back $60.00, which means Rite Aid and Olay paid me $51.52 !! These will go out in the mail in the morning, when the money comes back it will be added to my 2010 budget.

Then I bought at RA:

5 Oral B Cross Action Toothbrushes 5.00 each = 25.00

Clearance wrapping paper 1.99 x 2 = 3.98

= 1.98 x 2.54 tax = 4.54 oop

Total out of pocket 4.54

There is a Single Check Rebate at www.riteaid.com for 2.00 on the 1 toothbrush

I also did the diaper deal again (see yesterdays post) which was another .29 cents!

Total out of pocket 9.87 !!

And then Walgreens:

(4) 2 liters of Diet Coke/Root Beer 1.00 each

=4.00 + .20 cent deposit = 4.20

Paid with a 4.00 RR, out of pocket just .20 cents

For the whole night my total OOP was just 46.96, total saved was $337.67

I will get back $102.00 in rebates !

Which means I was paid $55.04 to shop tonight!
