Transaction #3 (This one depends on the prices, but according to what I priced the other day, I may be able to do it this way, if not, skip this one and move to #4, since it results in the same +Up Reward and the next transaction will stay the same.)

Use (3) $1/2 Halls (3/25/12 SS)
Use $5 +Up
Total OOP: $2
Get $3.00 +Up (3 $1 +Up on 2 pkgs)
So, these are the things I'm planning for tomorrow's trip, and I know not everyone has these same coupons, but it gives you a chance to see what types of deals you can do. My total OOP will be about $15.27 before tax. (Actually, mine will be $11.27 because I have $4 in +Up Rewards from last week's sale, but I didn't factor those in since not everyone has that amount to start off with). In addition to that, I will leave the store with $3 +Up Rewards. The total regular or advertised price is $68.67, so you can see I will save considerably. My only fear is that I won't be able to find John Frieda items at that price, since most of them run around 7.49, but there are a lot priced higher, at $10.49. If I don't hit $15 on that transaction, I won't get a +Up Reward to roll into the next transaction. So, if I have to skip that one, I will.

Rite Aid clearance
I've decided to put my coupon binder back together! I was browsing through Rite Aid today and I found a BUNCH of clearanced items! If only I'd had my coupons organized in Binder style, I would have brought home a whole lot of stuff for really cheap! Well, I did bring home a whole lot of stuff for cheap, just nothing I would have had coupons for.
I found a lot of clearanced items, some of which were cleared off the shelves already. I always check the makeup sections because I've gotten about 20 bottles of nail polish and lip gloss in the past month and probably have paid no more than $5 for most of it. There are a LOT of clearance tags for 75% off items that are $4 and under. Today, I found Rimmel nail polish for .99 each (regular price 3.99), BOD men's body spray for .24 each (good stocking stuffers!), and nail growth formula for $1.61 (a bit more expensive than the other items, but my nails keep breaking and it was better than paying nearly $7 for this somewhere else!)
Things I noticed around the store were feminine products (Always and Carefree pads, which were already cleared out, and OB Tampons) 75% off, Garnier dandruff shampoo 50% off, select Rimmel nail polish, lip gloss/sticks, and lip liners. There were also a variety of nail polish brands with markdowns, but most of the REALLY cheap ones were cleaned out. However, $2 for an $8 bottle of nail polish might be worth it! There were some Sally Hansen nail polishes clearanced as well, and some Sally Hansen skincare products.
So, it's time to start carrying EVERY coupon I have with me everywhere I go! Maybe you should consider investing in a coupon binder system as well! As soon as I get the stuff to put mine together, I will post a blog so you can see how mine is made, and how I have it organized.

Super Cheap Skin Care!
So... I'm not one to splurge on skincare products, despite the "high value" coupons that come out for them. I will be old and wrinkly (sooner than later), but it's because I refuse to spend $35 on something like the L'Oreal Youth Code pictured above. HOWEVER...
While planning my shopping trip for the upcoming Rite Aid sale, I was checking the current flier (that ends today, 3/24) with the new coupons to see if there were any last minute deals to be had. I noticed there was a Buy $15, get $5 +Up in a small box on the back page, and upon closer look, it was L'Oreal skin care products. I figured I'd check for some coupons, and found a $5 Video Values coupon on Youth Code. I also found a $5/1 Youth Code kit in the 2/19 Red Plum. That was $10 off one product. I also noticed a $10 Mail In Rebate WYB $30 in one transaction (L'Oreal.com). So, that' was $20 off one product! And, on top of that, it was $35.99, so that's TWO $5 +Up Rewards, since you get $5 for every $15 you spend (up to 2 +Ups per household.) So, after adding up coupons, rebates, and ups, I was gonna save $30 on this start up kit. So guess who gets to prolong the effects of aging (at least until this box runs out lol)??? This girl!
So, I apologize I didn't find this at the beginning of the week, but I figured it was worth sharing since there are still a few hours left before the sale ends and it's a GREAT deal to take advantage of!

Deals I've found this week
Hey there! I just wanted to post a few quick deals I found in this week's inserts (3/18)
Of course, there is the Stayfree maxi pad deal at Rite Aid. They are 2/$6, there is a $2/2 coupon (SS 3/18) bringing them down to 2/$4, and then there is a $2 +Up Reward on two. So the final price for these is $1 each! There is a limit of 2 +Up Rewards per household, so you can get a total of 4 packages if you have 2 coupons.
Rite Aid also has Carefree panty liners advertised as $1, and there is a $1/1 coupon in the 3/18 SS. This makes them free. However, our Walmart has them regularly priced at .94, so you can make 6 cents per package you buy if they allow you overage. I bought a couple the other day and they didn't mark the coupon down, so I got the overage.
There was a wealth of Suave products coupons in the RP 3/18 Insert this week. I used the Buy 2, Get 1 Free Body wash on the +Up Reward deal at Rite Aid (Buy $10, get $3 +Up Reward back, limit 2). However, I was checking prices of other Suave products at Walmart and found the small deodorants (not trial size, just the 1.4 oz I think) are only .97 and there is a $1/2 coupon. So I paid only .47 for each one I bought. I know this is only about a 50% discount, but I'll take deodorant for less than 50 cents! Especially since this is one of the items that my ever-growing stockpile was lacking... until today!
One other good deal I found was on Bic razors. I price checked them at Rite Aid, since they are Buy One, Get One 50% off, but it honestly was cheaper regular price at Walmart! The Bic Silky Touch 10 pack is only $2.97. They also have the yellow Bic men's razors (single blade, I think) for the same price, and I think it's a 12 pack. Using the $2/1 Bic Razor (trials excluded) coupon from RP 3/18, you can get 10 or 12 razors for under $1. I've stocked up on Schick Hydro and refills for the hubby, but I don't find many girly razors, and now that it's shorts weather (for now), I can't exactly hide hairy sasquatch legs under jeans (like I've ever done that............ well, maybe once or twice). So, I was excited to find this deal. I'm sure another sale will run and I'll be kicking myself for using up all my coupons now, but honestly, I thought it was a good price so I loaded up!
If I find anymore regular price deals, I will be sure to post them, and please feel free to share if you've found any of your own!
