First, to do these deals, you need to have the Proctor & Gamble coupons that came out July 4 weekend, they expire 7/31. Or, there is supposed to be another P&G insert this weekend, so if you bought the Saturday first edition of the paper, got the coupons, you could still do this deal on Saturday.
I had to go pick up Kevin and wanted to stop in at Walgreen’s to spend some of my RR. What I don’t like about RR is that they have a 2-week expiration date, so I have about 10 days left.
My plan was this:
Olay Ribbons body wash is 3 for $10. If you spend $20 on P&G select items, you get $7 RR back. Also, the coupons that I have are for $2 off one.
So, 6 bottles of Ribbons for $20.
Minus six $2 coupons=$12, final cost $8, earn $7 back in RR. Not bad, huh?
The RR will roll on this deal, because I earned them on the diapers. You cannot roll RR on the same deal; ie I cannot turn around and spend the $7 on Ribbons and earn more. Just as I cannot spend the original RR I have on more diapers and earn from that deal. Make sense?
But there was a bonus! When I got there, at the front on the clearance table, they had Olay botanicals wash clearanced to $1!!! And I had several coupons for it, varying in amounts-$1, $1.50 and $2. So I got it for free! Heck, even if you don’t have the coupons, $1 is a great price for this–it’s usually around $4.
There is some left, Penn Green Rd location. And I do not know if this is also clearanced at Kennett.
I ended up getting 9 bottles of the Botanicals for free. My second transaction was like this:
6 bottles of Ribbons-$20
2 Natural Instincts haircolor-$12
3 packs of sharpies-$1.99
Coupons-
6 x $2 for Ribbons-minus $12
bogo haircolor coupon (from yesterday’s paper)-minus $6
Total-$16.xx
paid with $15 in RR (from diaper deal), and $1 something in change
Got back $7 RR for Olay Ribbons, $2 for Haircolor
How do you have so many coupons?
