I really should start taking pictures. This week I got 2 (12 packs) of TP, 2 toothpastes, 6 deodorants, 8 (3 packs) of ivory soap, 10 packs of bikini
shavers, 8 small bottles of dish soap, 2 things of cat liter 3 packs of sunflower seeds..... I think thats it, maybe there was more. It was over $100
before sales and coupons, got it down to just under $20....
Now I really need to stop getting toothpaste, but when you get paid a buck a piece how can you pass it up?!

Ya I know, the wife keeps picking up 4 toothpastes or so each visit and we got a full container already of it. Gave some to family, but it was fucked
up how some of them they really didn't give a shit. Last fucking time I give them anything free again. Trying to help them out.

^^^^^^^ The 2 closest walmarts to us do not order for you so we have to keep going back and checking there stock. PLus, very sneeky they only stock 6
NIVEA bodywash at a time because of the coupon. The other brands have like 3-4 rows of the same wash = an average of like 18 or so. Hope you avoid
the issues we had with them.

^^^^^^^^^^ AHAHA I tried that and they refused me. Since it clearly stated MENS on the coupon. Thing is I've done that b4 and it scans no problem.
Nice job landing those.

The wife tried using Clean & Clear Body Wash coupons on face cleanser, that did NOT work. Never know unless you try because sometimes thye ring up
and the cashier doesn't notice / care. I think the problem is BOGO because they need to write the ammount on the coupon and that is when it gets
caught almost every time. Lessons learned!
As for the ammount of time, I don't spend too much time on it. I can also do some at work so that time does not count.

Ok, hit up Rite Aid for the first time and was well prepared!
Simple thing I learned that I am sure Clevo and Furly already know, if you use a BOGO coupon on an item that is on sale as bogo you get them for free.
Well, I knew Rite Aid was have a BOGO on most candybars. I had coups for the Hershey's from sunday papers and then Reese's coups were printed out but
the best... I was at Market Basket (local store) that had a stack of BOGO Snickers Peanut Butter coups...
I got all the Snickers PB's from both Rite Aid stores in Dover, NH.
$14.92 for todays haul... 6 bottles of dish soap, 6 Speed Sticks, 2 body washes, 3 heat patches, 1 pain cream, 3 packs of panty liners, 10 Hershey
bars, 4 packs of Reese's, and 22 Snickers peanut butter bars (ate one before the picture was taken ) which retails for $108.54 (Well, at normal Rite Aid prices anyway...)
This was the first haul I did 100% on my own since my wife is a coupon master and I went this one alone as well and I felt PUMPED coming out of Rite
Aid with all this shit! It is very odd to explain but it reminds me of the "high" I would get when I used to shoplift as a kid.

Dude, I know exactly what your saying. The best thing about this is its all legal. Great job by the way. Especially on your own without the lady
around.

Rite Aid had confused me a bit everytime I would look on the matchup websites and I did not have the Up rewards fully figured out so I said to the
wife "That's it, I am going to figure out Rite Aid and do a haul!". The BOGO baffled me and I still had my doubts that it would work but it did.
When I went to the 2nd Rite Aid for the rest of the Snickers (we have 2 Rite Aids litteraly 1/2 mile from eachother) I got 8 Snickers and my total due
was $0.00. First time that has happened and it felt weird just going "Ok, See ya!" and walking out with a bag of stuff.

^^My wife is running this. She spends maybe a hour a day after work. Then again she is collecting stuff online throughout the day as well so its hard
to gauge. She works full-time so she aint devoting as much as she'd like. Otherwise we'd have a bunker of inventory if she could spend more time on
it. The days she shops has more time devoted to it as she is organizing and planning the list.
Just got a text from her. She picked up 7 GILLETTE shave gels for .11 each at RITE AID. 7 freaking containers for .77 total. The total is less than
half of what one would cost. Time to start shaving the back hair.

Got a question for Clevo or Furly since you 2 seem to know about Rite Aid...
They have toothpaste of sale this week. It is $2.99 with $2.00 back in UP+ plus I have a $1.00 coupon...
If I bought the toothpaste for $2.99
Use $1.00 coupon and get $2.00 back in UP+
Can I go and get another thing of toothpase with another $1.00 coupon and the $2.00 UP+ I got from the first purchase?
And if so, would I then get ANOTHER $2.00 in UP+?

Hi! This is Clevo's wife. If you look at the ad, RA allows a limit of 2 offers per household, (two UP+ rewards per address). So, to answer your
question yes, you can do this and you will get (2) $2.00 up rewards- but you may have to buy another cheap item (like something for .50) with the
second transactions to use the $2.00 up from the first transaction due to the tax (I am not sure if the tax is different for NH vs OH). Your second
transaction total will need to be over 2.00 to use the $2.00 up from the first transaction. The RA I go to is very "coupon friendly" and the cashiers
always let me run through two different transactions to roll the rewards. Hope this makes sense!

I would get the 2 toothpastes, using my 2 coupons on the same trip. I typically do all my RA, CVS, and Wags shopping on Monday.
When the next week flyers are out, I make my lists, put together my coupons and Ups,RR, and Bucks, in separate piles, go to the store that Monday and
do it all over again. It's called rolling your rewards. That's how I got 2 packs of zip loc tuperware, 9 things of detergent and some other crap for
freeeeeee this week. All the rewards I got back I'll use again next Monday.

The wife says they differ and you find out from your receipts somehow most of the time. It may depend on the store though.
