It’s been SOOO long since I’ve hit a good diaper deal, that I just HAD to post about it! Rite Aid totally came through for me this week! I am now 5 jumbo packs of Pampers richer. And not that much poorer! Check out this post on Southern Savers for the easy version of this deal. Mine was of course more complicated. 🙂
I did three total transactions over two days. Because, I realized I could go back for more! I’ll explain.
My first transaction was pretty straightforward:
2 packs Pampers $19.98 ($9.99 each)
2 packs refill Pampers wipes $11.98 ($5.99 each)
total = $31.96
-$2 Pampers coupon from P&G mailer
-$1.50 Pampers coupon from coupons.com
-$1.50 two 75 cents off Pampers wipes coupon from coupons.com
-$2 +UP Rewards from last week’s visit
= $24.96 + tax, and I got back a $10 +UP reward for buying $30 worth of P&G products
NOW – the fun part. The diapers also counted for a promo where you buy $25 worth of baby care products, you get back a $5 +UP Reward. So I had $20 towards that reward. Sadly the wipes didn’t count for that one, but I needed wipes so I got ’em. Therefore, I did another transaction to get this reward and some other things. I bought:
1 Pampers jumbo pack $9.99
1 Playtex Winnie-the-Pooh cup $4.49 ($4.99 but I got my 10% wellness + discount on it since it was “regular price”)
1 Colgate 360 toothbrush – clearance $1.99
4 Cadbury creme eggs $2.36 (you know, because I needed some FILLERS, not because I am obsessed with them)
total = $18.83
-$1.50 Pampers coupon from coupons.com
-$4 Playtex baby item Rite Aid in-ad coupon
-$2 Colgate toothbrush Rite Aid in-ad coupon
-$.75 cents Colgate printable coupon from coupons.com
-$10 +UP Rewards from previous transaction
= 58 cents + tax, and I got back the $5 +UP Reward for buying $25 worth of baby products
THEN, I realized from my receipt that the limit on baby product deal was TWO. SO I could do that again. I had $5 credit toward that because I’d bought $30 worth of Pampers and you only needed $25 to get the reward. So, if I bought 2 more jumbo packs of Pampers, I’d get another $5 +UP Reward. BONUS – I’d also gotten a $2 off Playtex coupon in my email by signing up for Playtex’s newsletter. So, I planned to get another sippy cup and get overage. Also, my Rite Aid had another clearance Colgate toothbrush so I planned to get another one of those as well and get overage. My plan worked ALMOST perfectly – I somehow lost one of my Pampers coupons! So I cost myself $1.50 with that mistake but it all still went pretty well. I got:
Two more jumbo packs of Pampers $19.98 ($9.99 each)
Playtex Winnie-the-Pooh cup $4.49
Colgate toothbrush clearance $1.99
total= $26.46
-$1.50 Pampers coupon from coupons.com
-$4 Playtex Rite Aid in-ad coupon
-$2 Playtex manufacturer’s coupon
-$2 Colgate Rite Aid in-ad coupon
-$.75 Colgate manufacturer’s coupon from SS insert
-$5 +UP Rewards from yesterday’s transaction
=$11.21 + tax, and I got back another$5 +UP Reward
So, all in all I spent $36.75 + tax for 5 jumbo packs of Pampers, two refill packs of wipes, two Playtex sippy cups, two Colgate toothbrushes, and 4 Cadbury eggs.
And I have $5 +UP Rewards for next time. I. AM. HAPPY!
Please Note!!!!! The baby care deal where you get the extra $5 +UP, is over TOMORROW, March 6th. The P&G deal, where you get $10 +UP, is good all week.
One other note: We REALLY needed wipes and we only had 1.5 packs of diapers left. I was getting nervous about both of these situations. Also, just yesterday morning before I saw this deal I was complaining to Bobby that we were low on sippy cups. I see this deal as just another way God meets our needs and honors my attempts to be frugal. And I want to make sure I say that loudly!
Happy Shopping!
OK, so help me out here lol – if I wanted to do this with JUST diapers….what would it come out to be? From what I see, here’s my guess:
3 packs diapers (3 x $9.99) = $30
3 coupons (-$1.50 x3) = $4.50
$10 up reward P&G
$5 up reward baby care
= $10.50 for 3 packs of diapers??
I’m trying to figure this out, if I can get them this cheap I want to do it to donate them and see if I can get others to do the same. Making a trip down to KY tornado zone later this week!!
exactly right Brady! Hard to pass up, right?
yes very much!! Baby supplies are MUCH needed in KY and IN right now in the tornado zones. If you know anyone willing to contribute ANY items I will be making a trip down late this week or early next week!!
