Fred Meyer Purex $$$maker! -DEAD!!!!!

UPDATE: Looks like this deal is now dead, since someone bought ~800 bottles and pissed off the Kroger Co. and they pulled the catalina!
So I just found out that you can get Purex for free this week at Fred Meyer - pretty hot! I went and did 2 transactions :) But, if you can be patient and get a raincheck (or a few rainchecks...) it is even hotter!


Right now Purex is on sale 2/$5, but there is an in-ad Q making it $1.99 ea. So:


Buy 2 @$1.99 ea = $3.98

And a catalina Q will print out for $4 onyo!!! You just pay tax - pretty hot right?


There are .35 Qs in the 1/10 RP that you can use to bring down your oop, but in next week's paper.....there will be a B1G1 Q for Purex!!!!!!!!!!! So instead of making a few pennies, you'll make a couple of bucks!!!!


If you have a raincheck it will look like this:

2 Purex = $3.98

B1G1 Q =-$1.99

You pay $1.99 and get a $4 cat! This thing rolls so you can do it over and over again!

A few notes:

The 50 oz. ones (not the bonus 60 oz.) sizes are the only ones working for this. There were no HE options at my Fred Meyer, so this front-loading gal will be donating all of the ones that I get!

Friday is a Good Day!!!

Such a great day to go to Wags and Rite Aid!!!!! Here's what I'm excited about:

Walgreens - Today (Friday) is Friends & Family day! That means 15% off of everything! Why am I excited? Because that means that even if you don't have coupons, there are several moneymakers! Any item that is free after RR is a $$$maker today! I picked up the Dove men's bodywash, Joint Juice, 3 Musketeers and Huggies today. Make sure to bring a printout of this coupon or be a papersaver and get it on your cellphone (text HEART to 21525) and checkout at either the cosmetics dept or photo dept (they are the only registers with the employee 15% button).

Check out Common Sense with Money's very detailed post on the deals for today only.

Rite Aid - Did I mention how much I love double-dip rebates? I do! Today is the start to a new Olay rebate and the P&G Rite Aid gift card deal is going on until tomorrow (Saturday). Here's what I bought:

Transaction #1:
1 Venus Embrace razor $7.99
1 Olay bodywash $7.49 (they also have more expensive ones, doesn't matter!)
1 Olay lotion $5.99 (just make sure whichever lotion you choose is lower in price than the bodywash because it is a BOGO50%)
1 Carefree Ultra $1.99 (bonus if this has a $1 peelie on it = $$$maker!)

=$23.47
-$3 (BOGO 50% off of the Olay lotion)
=$20.47

Use these coupons:

-$5/$20 RA VV (Video Value) Q
-$7.49 free Olay bodywash wyb Venus razor Q from 2/7 P&G
-$2 Venus Q (2/7 P&G)
-$1 Olay lotion Q (2/7 P&G or was it the January one?)
-$2 Carefree VVQ

=$2.98 + tax (better if you have the carefree peelie)

Do Transaction #1 again and you'll end up with $36.96 towards your P&G RA giftcard and you'll get the Olay $15 rebate as well! = $14.04 moneymaker!

I would add another $13.04 of P&G products to get to the $15 giftcard vs. the $5 that you are already eligible for.

Here's an easy transaction to add:

1 Pampers $8.99
2 Febreze $5.99 ea. (look for the ones with the bonus magic erasers!)

=$20.97

-$5/$20 RAQ
-$1.50 Pampers MQ (2/7 P&G)
-$5.99 BOGO Febreze MQ (Jan P&G)
-$1 Febreze MQ (2/7 P&G for the one you are not getting free)

=$7.48 +tax, but you'll get $2 SCR for Pampers and $2 SCR for the Febreze and you'll get a $15 giftcard rather than just a $5 one. Plus, I love Febreze and Magic Erasers!
