  1. The Gillette ProGlide razors were a great deal for me this week. They were $11.99/$9.59 (with wellness 20%), then I used $5/1 MQ that came in a P&G home mailer, and I got a $5 up reward. I did this moneymaker deal twice! The best part is that the razer was a bonus pack with shaving cream, after shave lotion and a cleanser.

  2. Hey! Did I see you at the Meridian Rite Aid yesterday? I was the lady you let in front of you during your transactions! If so… I should have gotten your autograph!! HAHA!

  3. BTW…thank you for letting me go before you in line! That was sweet!

    I found a possible deal, but not sure if it will work out and haven’t been able to go in quite yet to test it. Sally Hansen products are on special, if you spend $15 you get a $5 UP. All you has had a couple coupons. Here is what I’m hoping for:

    Nail file – $4.29
    2 bottles Nail polish – $6.20 each

    Use a $2 off one tool coupon from All You Magazine, then use a ‘Buy a tool get a polish free coupon’ from All You Magazine, then a $1 off nail polish coupon from a sunday coupon insert.

    If I can use all those coupons, It comes to $7.49 and I get a $5 up.

    • Let us know how it works out! FAB!

      • Mustangkayla says:

        I didn’t try. The manager said I had to hit the $15 mark after all the coupons to get the $5 up. I thought I had done it before where I hit the certain amount and got the UP and was able to use the coupons too.

        • You should receive the +up if you hit the $15 BEFORE coupons! I believe your manager is misinformed…

          • Mustangkayla says:

            That is what I though. I just hate to get up there and fork out a bunch of money. I guess I could return it all or cancel the transaction though. I might go back and try it if I can work up the courage.

            • Believe me…. you would not be the first couponer to return items when the transaction doesn’t go as planned…. we all do it… its part of the game ;)

  5. I can’t get the Video Value for $5 0ff! Where did you find it?

  6. Doesn’t Rite Aid’s newest coupon policy update prevent you from using 2 coupons when there is a B1G1 50% off sale? I don’t think you should have been able to use all 3 $1/1 coupons…

    • Jenn,
      RiteAid just revised their policy (AGAIN!) to make it clearer for everyone. They won’t allow people to use BOGO coupons with a BOG50% sale, but you can still use 2 coupons with a BOG50% sale as long as the coupons are lower than the amount of the products (no overage allowed). Glad they revised it to make it clearer for everyone!

      • That is true! Thanks Brenda! I will be posting the new policy for everyone to see shortly… but it is wonderful that this gray area has been so nicely clarified :)

  7. It was just scrunci’s and Tugaboos for me this week. I wanted to do the Proglide but I ran out of time to find my coupon since my 2 year old has discovered that store’s have restrooms. Oh well, enough trips to the restroom and maybe I won’t need so many Tugaboos. :)

  8. Michelle says:

    My Rite Aid has changed their +up policy! So frustrating! They now add your + up rewards to your card and you can’t use them until after 6:00 am the following day…no more rolling my rewards….SUCKS. It is the only drug store close to where I live to, so my couponing bubble has been burst. :( Has anyone else had this happen and if so, how are you dealing with it?
    Thanks for listening. :)

    • Michelle – They are trying that out in certain test areas. From what I’ve heard everyone hates it! (It’s not here in Boise, so I haven’t had to personally deal with it.) Email, call, chat, etc with Rite Aid’s customer service. Let them know you don’t like it and want the old way back! If enough people complain hopefully they’ll do away with it. (And even though it’s not in my area, I already complained in behalf of the rest of you. So did my husband. And my son.) :)
