I’m trying to burn a bunch of RRs, so here’s the photo of seven transactions. I picked up five cans of Similac, cause that’s all they had – although Steve will be picking up a larger quantity of the $4.99 Advanced or Sensitive variety for Wednesday delivery ($5/1 – 4/3S); seven Colgate Max toothpastes (.75/1 – 4/3S); four Luster White ($1.50/1 IP) – ran out of coupons; 7 gel pens as fillers (.25 in-ad coupon); fourteen Oral B toothbrushes ($2/1 – 4/3 PG). Total cash OOP was $9.58 and I burned $20 in $RRs. Got back $37 in RRs.
Now here’s the sweet part. Someone had commented that these Indicator toothbrushes were marked $2.99 on the shelf, but ringing $1.25. I actually tested out different types and color and UPCs and here is what I found: the ones with the UPCs ending in 0200 ( soft brush) not only ring at $1.25, they work with the $2 coupons. Can we say .75 overage on 
each? I can. If you were smarter than me and printed out a ton of the Luster Whites, you can pick up 2 toothbrushes, the Luster White, Colgate Max and a filler (gel pen?) and pay $11.73 less $2+2+1.50+.75 or $5.48. Throw in an RR ($4 or $5) and you’re at a buck or .48 plus high tax. You then get back $7 in RRs. Complicated, but so is life. And you’ve earned two more weeks to figure out another Wags deal…
Put that in your stockpile comment!!!
My coupons would not work with the toothbrushes, the coupons are $2/2 on the “Indicator” toothbrushes. I did try the soft brushes, maybe I grabbed the wrong ones.
Great, I’m committing coupon fraud…In my defense, if the coupon says “2” (I don’t have any more coupons), then the print is so small that neither the two clerks nor I noticed it. Oddly enough, the register loved this coupon; no beeps of any kind buying two and using two coupons, which should not work (a $2/2 splits the value between two products). another go figure. J’aime, I’m coming…
Do go down J’amie’s path. The coupon specifies $2 OFF One Oral-B Pulsar, CrossAction, Advantage or any TWO Indicator or Cavity Defense Manual Toothbrushes. Now I stuck with a stockpile of expiring RR.
do your weekly food shopping at Jewel and use ’em there, unless you are in the land of no Jewel’s
If you are doing the Biore RR deal tomorrow you can use the RRs for that. I’ve now talked with a couple of Wags and both said they would accept RRs that had only expired a day or so previous. I plan to roll all the RRs into that Biore $5.99 deal using the 3/6S BOGO coupon and either the $1 or $2 couple in each box, so a MM.
I chose to shop for free at Jewel and still got many $1 cats for my trouble!!
Yep, I will do the Biore, I hope they will take the RR that expire today. Off to Wags now, maybe some store have the $4.99 price on the Luster to roll my $5.00 Almay RR’s.
