How to get your grocery works for you.
First and foremost, I have to apologize for not informing you, my readers about my MIA, as commented by one of my readers, taxi driver :”So unlike you to be taking such a long hiatus from blogging. A whole week!“. Sorry !
This is what I got for $1.45 (6.5% tax included).
1. 1 Rice Cooker (3 cups)
2. 3 bottles of Peter Pan Peanut Butter
3. 1 Lysol Neutra Air FreshMatic kit
4. 4 Glad Scented Oil Warner (Lavender)
5. 2 Oust Air Fresher
6. 1 Pert 2in1 Shampoo/Conditioner
7. 1 Bioinfusion Strengthen hair shampoo
8. 1 Bioinfusion Strengthen hair conditioner
9. 3 boxes of Puffs facial tissues
10. 1 bottle of Dawn dish liquid.
11. 2 bottle of shaver gel.
This is how I did it.
This week there is a buy $40 get $10 discount at Walgreens. You can print out the coupon : ‘ here ‘ .
I did it with a combination of magazine coupons, newspaper coupons, online coupons and Walgreens monthly rebate (August)
* B1G1 = Buy 1 get 1 free coupon
1. 1 Rice Cooker (3 cups) $9.99, Walgreen August Rebate $4
2. 3 bottles of Peter Pan Peanut Butter $5, 3x$1 coupon which I get it from All You Magazine
3. 1 Lysol Neutra Air FreshMatic kit $9.99, $5 coupon from Gainesville Sun Newspaper , Walgreen August Rebate $3
4. 4 Glad Scented Oil Warner $4.79, Store has B1G1 free offer and I have 2x$4 coupons from Gainesville Sun Newspaper
5. 2 Oust Air Fresher $3.99, B1G1 coupon + 1x$2 coupon from Gainesville Sun Newspaper, Walgreen August Rebate $1
6. 1 Pert 2in1 Shampoo/Conditioner $3.79, Walgreen August Rebate $4.79
7. 1 Bioinfusion Strengthen hair shampoo $5.99, Walgreen August Rebate $5.99
8. 1 Bioinfusion Strengthen hair conditioner $5.99, Walgreen August Rebate $5.99
9. 3 boxes of Puff facial tissues $0.89, 3x$0.25 coupon from Gainesville Sun Newspaper
10. 1 bottle of Dawn dish liquid $0.99, 1×0.55 coupon from Gainesville Sun Newspaper
11. 2 bottles of Skinmate Shave Gel $1.99×2=$3.98 , 1x$0.55 and 1×0.75 coupons from Gainesville Sun Newspaper
Total cost = 9.99 + 5 + 9.99 + 4.79 + 3.99 + 3.79 + 5.99 + 5.99 + 2.67 + 0.99 + 3.98 = 48.59 = 51.74 (after 6.5% tax)
Total coupons = 10 (Walgreen printable) + 3 (peanut) + 5 (starter kit) + 2 (air fresher) + 0.75 (tissue) + 0.55 (dish liquid) + 1.30 (shaver gel) = 22.55
Total Rebate = 4 (rice cooker) + 3(starter kit) + 1 (air fresher) + 4.79 (Pert) + 11.98 (BioInfusion) = 24.77 with 10% added on if you claim rebate as gift card = 27.74
Net = 51.74 - 22.55 - 27.74 = 1.45
Looks like 50% of my goods are paid by coupons and 50% are paid by rebate and all I have to do is put up some upfront money and I have all my goods free.
Is that amazing ? One of my dear girlfriends suggested that I should host a training session on “I will show you step by step on getting the store to pay for your grocery bills’ at our club house. Do you think I will have audience ? Love to hear from you.
** Side Note : Without B1G1 sales, coupons and Rebates, all these goods cost $9.99 + $5 + $9.99 + $4.79 + 4.79 + 4.79 + 4.79 (this is a B1G1 sales, it was $4.79 per warner prior to B1G1 sales) + 4.99+ 4.99(Air fresher was $4.99 prior sales)+ $4.79 (Pert was $4.79 prior sales) + 5.99 + 5.99 + 1.29 (Dawn was $1.29 prior sales) + 1.49 + 1.49 + 1.49 (puff tissue was $1.49) + $2.49 + 2.49 (Shaver gel was $2.49) = $81.63
Come by and visit me again, I have another deal I am going to show you and you will be surprised that I do not need to pay a single cent but instead the store will pay me back $5 :).
