My Black Friday shopping...  I'm so very exciting, I hit up the drugstores with my mom.  :o) 

First up was Rite Aid:

 I did three transactions.  They were all out of the Cottonelle for $1.88 (with $1 UP reward!) so they were substituting Charmin or Scott and just charging .88 for it. 

2 Charmin 4-packs  (.88 each)
1 Motrin PM  ($4)
2 Colgate Total (1.77 each)
2 Hershey's Pot of Gold candy boxes ($3.99 each)
10 Hershey's/Mars candy bars (.50 each)
1 Philips remote control ($4.99)
1 Noxema Razors ($3.99)
1 Got2Be Hairspray ($4.99)
2 Disney figures (.89, and .99)
2 Hair dryers ($9.99 each)
3 boxes of cereal ($1.99 each)
2 Vaseline lotions ($2.99 each)
2 Old Spice deodorants ($2.50 each)

I spent a grand total of $4.08 after coupons, including tax, out of my own pocket (for just over $75 in products!).  I will get back $14.98 in rebates, so already a profit of $10.41...but I also still have UP rewards left ($16!) to spend next time I shop. 

Then we headed to CVS:

They were out of stock on almost all of the Black Friday freebies, but that's okay because CVS is amazing with rainchecks.

1 Eucerin lotion ($6.99)
2 Excedrin (.99)
1 Philips headphones ($6.99)
5 Hershey's candy (.50 each)
1 Munch bar (.22 clearance...filler)
1 Carmex (.99)
2 Old Spice deodorants ($4 each)

Everything was free after ECB except for the Munch bar, lol.  I used mostly ECBs to pay, but I did end up paying a grand total of $1.22 out of pocket.  I donated $1 to St. Judes.  If not for that it would have been .22, but hey, I save more than enough to donate $1 at the register.  :o) 

I did a couple transactions, mostly because they found stuff they were in stock on while I was asking for rainchecks... but I still have $14.94 in ECBs to use next time I shop. 

Mail!

 $78.33 from Rite Aid!  I spent maybe $40 to get this.  But hey, that's a profit of close to $40!

A check from Mindfield Online for taking surveys.

Rite Aid.

Paid $32.42 out of pocket.  I KNOW.  Crazy.  For me at least.  But I am trying to get more into the Rite Aid rebates, so I figured I'd use my survey/rebate money account and purchase the free after rebate stuffs, and then when the rebate checks come I'll just replenish it.  And considering the money in that account pretty much comes from surveys and rebates, still free in a way. 

So yeah, paid $32.42 out of pocket, but I got back a $2 UP reward, and I will be getting a $37.42 in rebate checks.  I could have done better, I didn't print/bother to bring a few coupons I could have used, but oh well.  Still made a profit of $7!  :o) 

I am up to almost $100 in rebates this month and the month isn't even over yet.  Yeah!  :o)

These were $3.49 and $2.99 at the grocery store yesterday, and they had Try Me Free rebate forms attached.  Something to look out for, yay for free bread!  :o)

Finally got the rebate check for the lunch totes I purchased from Target, awhile back. 

:o)

I got this DVD as a reward for doing surveys with Opinion Square. I collect Disney dvds so this was great for me, and for the kids. We had a fun singing and dancing party the day it came :o)


Rebates and a $5 check from Magazines.com (sign up for their email list, and when they send you gift cards to your email, you can redeem them for cash/check by going to magazines.com/cash and entering the gift card code!)! The $5 Kmart gift card was a rebate type thing for buying Rice Krispies back when they were doubling coupons...I paid .25 a box for 4 boxes if I recall correctly, and then sent in for the gift card :o)
