All This FREE, Plus $6 Profit

Hauled ALL THIS in today from Rite-Aid, CVS, and Walgreens, along with $6 total profit after rebates! I managed to net a small profit at each store making these purhases. Using gift cards and reward coupons I already had, I think I spent less than 5 dollars out of pocket, too!
ALL THIS, and a $6 profit today!

Because of the one coupon per item rule and the inability to use register reward coupons to buy the same product and get more register rewards, I had to do 4 transactions to get all of this stuff. I also padded my order with some clearance candy bars, not only so I could use more coupons but also because candy bars are yummy.

(*PLUS, I think I racked up over $50 credit toward the Fall Gift of Savings deal, which may earn me another $10 gift card all by itself! Will jump to $20 once I reach $100 buying diapers there next week!)

  1. Amazing! I've been hopping around campus computer labs printing off the $2 Healthy Choice coupon. But the saddest story of all is that G' and I went to Target last week and I picked up two frozen meals. I gave him one along with a coupon, and did the same to myself. Only problem, I picked up LEAN CUISINE frozen meals and yeah.... the HC coupon didn't work for those. Sad! I'll head over to Walgreen's today to get that free Thermacare thing that wickedcooldeals mentioned... woo hoo! AND this time I'll be sure to pick HC meals and NOT Lean Cuisine! Lesson learned!
