Refunds and Register Rewards... so much money!

I am not a great rebate person. I have been known, and re-known…. MANY TIMES to buy the items with grand plans to get the item FREE and then “forget” to send in the rebate or miss a deadline due to procrastination. I am the queen of that! BUT… there are great deals out there for those of you with more will power and a not so laid back personality 

This month at Walgreen there are many items you can get FREE when you buy them now and submit a rebate. Walgreen’s now allows online submission of rebates so you do not have to clip proof of purchases or send in forms and receipts. It is a great idea for folks like me. Another terrific thing about Walgreen’s rebates is if you request your rebate in the worm of a Walgreen’s gift card, they will add 10% back to you card. So lets say this month you are getting $20 back in rebates, Walgreen’s will put $22 on your gift card. You can even submit the number of a gift card you have in hand to get the refund available sooner than having them mail out a new card. It is a great program, one I plan to start to use more!

Here are a few of the deals I feel are promising. Buying Free After Rebate (FAR) items are a great way to spend your RR. This is a fast way to convert them wither into cash or Walgreen’s card plus the 10% bonus! Here are a few deals for this week:

Another Walgreen’s great deal this week is the Nabisco cookies. Buy 2 for $5, add 1 gallon milk… get $3 RR back. The deal gets better. The computer is not programmed to look for the milk. You can buy the cookies for $5 and get $3 off. This is NOT cheating. It is how the computer is programmed. I figure $1 Oreos are a great deal.

Then next deal is the Crest Pro Health Mouthwash 500 ml for $4.49 and get a $4.50 RR.

Another is the Reach Toothbrushes or dental floss. Buy 2 for $5 get $5 RR back.

To “ROLL” the deal you should first buy the cookies. Out Of Pocket (OOP) is $5. If you have RR from the previous week this will reduce your OOP. You will get a new RR for $3.

Use the $3 RR on the next deal of Mouthwashfor $4.49, your next OOP is 1.49 (total OOP now $6.50) You will get another RR for $4.50.

Use the $4.50 to buy the toothbrushes or dental floss for $5. Your OOP will be $.50 for a total OOP $7. You will get another $5 RR. This can be spent on another set of cookies for $5 where you will get $3 back. You can continue to roll the RR and deals or if you stopped now you would have spent $7 OOP, you would still have a $3 RR so really your OOP is $4. But you will have:

4 packages of cookies @ $2.50 for total of $10
1 mouthwash at $4.49
2 toothbrushes or floss @ 2.50 for total of $5

So essentially you brought home $19.49 worth (at sale prices) of items for $4! For a savings of 79.5%

Not a bad shopping deal! Keep looking for new combinations. I miss deals… please share with the blog.

Have a great week!
