My mom has gotten me turned on to doing this..... Let me share her story from this last week...


Last Saturday I had to go to Walmart. So on the way I stopped at




Rite Aid. Bought 5 cold products (4 of which were for children so I will give to my daughter), and chewable rolaids. $22.74 total. Next week I will have my rebate check for $22.74. Everything free.


Walmart where I did my shopping


Walgreens. Bought 5 bags of Robitusin cough drops, 1 box sucrets, 1 LARGE bottle Fructis shampoo, 1 Activeon, 2 bottles Motrin (buy 1 get 1 free) and boox of cold medicine. After coupons I spent $39 for total of $53.44 of products and I will receive a $44.07 gift card in the mail in 2 weeks. Walgreens has paid me $5.07 ($44.07-39=5.07) to take home $53.44 in free stuff.


CVS. I bought 3 boxes Advil cold meds, 2 pkg panti liners, 1 Alka selzer cold & cough, 1 big bag of halloween pretzels (24 individual bags), 1 bag of cotton balls, 1 plastic lunch plate, 1 pkg kleenx. I used by rebate coupon from previous week and paid 6 cents for all!


and then today...


You know "rebate" is now my middle name. Just to share this morning's experience. I went into Walgreen'son the way to work. Bought 4 bottles of cold & sniffles medicine for kids.by Triminic (major brand). Normal Walgreen's price is $6.99 on sale for $5 per bottle. On my way in the door I picked up November sales catalog because it has $2. off coupon on each bottle. So Sale price of 4 x $5 = $20 minus $8 in coupons means I paid $12 out of pocket THEN a $10 coupon

Ok Lolly I'm ROTFLMBO over here.


I'm all for rebates & coupons and have used them both myself, not as well as you just did. I'm taking notes by the way.


But I have to ask a question. If I added everything up right you just bought 19 cold medecine products. Right?


Will you ever use all that medecine before it expires?


I ask this because I have done something similar and what

Lolly that is some awesome savings. I'm impressed. See I love a sale & savings but I fall into the trap of buying what I don't always need. LOL! I know I'm a sucker. Actually I'm very much a pack rat. LOL!


Please send me some information I promise I'll be good this time. LOL!!


My email is navywife.2006@yahoo.com


Thanks is advance.


BTW do you lose your voice for six months spread out over certain seasons. I lose mine in spring & late fall. I'm losing it now.
