6/25/08 Buy-Low, Schnucks, Walgreens

Buy-Low is running a promo advertised in their weekly ad. WYB 10 participating products, you will get via MIR a $25 movie gift card. The ad is hard to read online so I ran over to the store to check it out and to get an idea of prices to match up Q's with. I quickly checked on several items but thought that they were too costly to buy 10, or I knew I didn't have freezer space to hold any thing more! I saw that Hamburger Helper was on sale for $0.99 and I just happened to have a few of those Q's with me.
I ended up buying 10 @ 9.90 - 3.40 in Q's. Final cost $6.50 will earn the $25 gift card. Buy-Low also had sale on Pepsi products, B4G1 free 12pks/6pks (or 5 pks for $12.00.) I collect the caps, so the 24 oz bottles were a better choice for me, about .40 a bottle.


Total $24.65 - 6.15 + tax = 19.34 oop - will get $25, net profit $5.66.


I went to two Schnucks today, but will combine totals.

2 Cheez-It (1lb box) $4-1 = 3 for both
4 Breakfast Breaks - had peelies B1G1 - on sale for $1.67. I got 4 @ 0.84 each. Didn't need them, but knew DD would like them as the Jonas Bros. were on the front.
3 Ken Steak House Dressing on sale 3/$5. Used 3 $1.00 Q's. I paid $0.67 each.
8 Yoplait smoothies, on sale for $1. I used $1 Q's. All free.
5 Oscar Meyer Deli Select singles on sale for $1. I used $0.55 Q's. Paid $2.25 for 22 oz of deli meat.

Total $28.66 - 19.09 Q's + tax = $9.57 oop.


Walgreens x 3

I read on HCW that Dixie plates were creating a Catalina MQ for $3.00 and that it was rolling. I bought 2 Ultra Dixie Plates and 3 Planters Trail Mixes that were on sale for .99 each. The Dixie plates were B1G1 free. Price was $3.79. When I paid for that transaction the catalina printed along with a cat for $1.00 off oyno, courtesy of Planters! I then stopped by two more stores and repeated the transactions, rolling the $3.00 Q, making the plates $.79 for both. In all, I got 6 sets of plates and 9 Planters Trail Mixes for $15.48 oop but got back $3 RR, so net cost was 12.48.

Total $46.95 (before store sales) or $20.28 (sales price) - Q's + RR = 12.48.

All totaled, I got $73.59 worth of stuff for $44.36 oop but got back and will earn $28. Final cost will be $16.36 or a 77% savings!
