Rolling RRs at Wags

Wags is kind of fun this week. There are some good RR deals to be had and you can roll a few of them....

Colgate Total Advanced $3.49, get 3.49 RR (use the .75 MQ 3/29 insert for overage)
Chapstick 100% natural $1.99, get 1.99 RR
Skintimate shave cream $2.99, get 2.99 RR
Edge Infused Energy shave gel $3.59, get 3.59 RR
Visine 5oz (selected varieties) $3.99, get 3 RR wyb 2 (Buy 2, using 2 $3 MQ 3/15 RP = 1.98 OOP plus 3 RR!)

Here, I used a $3 Visine RR to buy my chapstick and colgate, paying less than $2 OOP and getting $5.50 back in RR (which I will then use to buy maybe the shave gel...)

**Just remember that when rolling RRs, you can't use a Visine RR to buy more Visine, or the new RR won't print. Use the Visine RR to buy more Chapstick, the Chapstick RR to buy toothpaste, etc. I haven't gotten any of the shave cream yet and I think I read somewhere that the toothpaste and shave cream are from the same company so maybe you can't roll these??? Anyone know for sure??

CVS Clearance 4/9

When i was at CVS earlier in the day, I noticed they had some good stuff in the clearance area. I went back with coupons in hand when I was out later in the day. At this particular CVS, there is a real coupon Nazi and of course she nabbed me. She tries to tell me all the time that you can only use one like coupon at a time, no matter how many of the product you get. Whatever!!! So, I had some clearanced Gillette after shave stuff and MQs and she wouldn't let me use them, saying I couldn't because they were on sale (ugh...hello!!!) So no Gillette for me. But she at least scanned the CVS Qs I had, so I got:
a second Skintimate, $3.49 + 3.49 ECB, FREE
another pack of gum, $1.19 - 1.19 (FREE MQ)
Glade Car air freshener, reduced to .85 - $1 "any glade air freshener" CVS CRT = FREE+ovg
Skin Effects Lip Enhancer (I can't believe this was originally $20, but it was in the 75% off area and was marked $5) - $5 "any Skin Effects purchase" CVS CRT = FREE!!
**I always check my CRTs and coupons that print at the scanner against the clearance section. I get stuff for free all the time by matching these up. Just a friendly hint!
I got $10.53 worth of stuff for $2.50 ECB plus $1.02 OOP, earned $3.49 ECB yippie!!

I love Hen House this week!!!

In general, I think Hen House is really high-priced. But, every once in a while they thrill me with some really great deals. This was the week for that. In this order, I got $88.88 in groceries for... $30.42 OOP!!!! Go me!! Some of the high-lites:
Wheat Thins Artisans crackers, $1.58 - BOGO MQ 3/15SS = .79 each!!
Kraft dressing, $1.48 - $1.50 MQ 3/29SS (YMMV on this one, since it's overage) = FREE!!
Velveeta, $3.xx - .55 MQ 3/15SS = approx $3
Kraft cheese (cubes, shredded, slices, etc) $1.58 each...great price!
French's mustard, 14oz, $.99 - .50 MQ 3/29SS (doubles) = FREE!!
I'm going back for more dressing, mustard and crackers before this sale is over!! You have thru Tuesday to shop!!

CVS 4/9 .... $0.73 OOP!!

Thursday I ran to CVS for some of their deals. I got:
4 pringles, .88 each - $1/2 MQ 4/5 PG, making these .36 each!
1 Skintimate shave gel, $3.49 + 3.49 ECB = FREE (these say limit 1, but I confirmed it--it's limit TWO)
1 Natural Dentist mouth rinse, 6.99-$2 IP=4.99 OOP + 4 ECB, limit 2 (The deal is to buy 2, making it $10 OOP + 8 ECB, then submit for the manufacturer rebate of $10, making these an $8 profit. I'm still working on getting my second bottle, as they seem to be out of it everywhere!) This is an April ECB deal so you have till the end of the month to get these.
1 box of staples, which I needed to get my coupon inserts organized
1 Wrigley's gum $1.19 - 1.19 (FREE MQ 3/15SS) = FREE
$17.48 worth of stuff for $12.29. I used 12 ECB and pd .73 OOP, got back $7.49 in ECB

Rebate Round-Up

There are some good rebates to be had right now. Here are a few I've seen:

• Physician's formula make-up. There are several rebates for this right now. Go here for more info on the various kinds. You have to actually buy a product that states "try me free" on the pkg. There is a $2 CVS Physician's formula coupon in the April Good Housekeeping; stack that with a $/$$ CVS Q and you could have a great money-maker there (I think I'll be trying that...)
• Nestle refrigerated cookie dough: look for packs that mention the MIR. Stack it with this IP and you have a MM
• Kellogg's Raisin Bran Extra cereal. Look for specially marked "try me free" packages and use the $1 MQ from the 4/5 insert to make this a MM
• Kellogg's All Bran Strawberry Medley cereal. Again, use the $1 MQ from the 4/5 inserts and this rebate form to make a MM
• Try this link for info on a $20 rebate that could come in handy if you are making a nice Easter meal....
  

I always try to do rebates when I can, especially if I can make it a money maker. For the price of a stamp, I get a little monetary surprise in my mailbox when I least expect it!
