Where should I buy the Gillette Fusion Razor?

September 27, 2009

Have you noticed the $4.00 off 1 Gillette Fusion Razor coupon in today's P&G Brand Saver insert? I did, and I also noticed that it is on sale at several different stores. So, I started wondering where I was going to get the best deal on it and decided to compare the stores and prices side by side. Here goes...

1. Fred Meyer, on sale for $7.99

- $4.00

= $3.99 each

2. Target, on sale for $7.49, buy 2 and receive a $5.00 Target gift card.

$7.49 x 2 = $15.88

- $4.00 x 2 = ($8.00)

= $7.88

- $5.00 Target GF = $2.88 for 2 (of course, your still spending the $7.88 but you have the $5.00 GC for something else)

3. Rite-Aid, on sale for $9.00 each

- $4.00

= $5.00

- $5.00 Single Check rebate

= Free after rebate

4. Walgreens, on sale for $8.99 each, buy 1 get a $6.00 RR

- $4.00

= $4.99

Get a $6.00 RR, making $1.01 profit (of course, you will still spend the $4.99 but you now have the $6.00 RR)

I think Im going with Walgreens, I have some RRs from last week I can use. Here is my plan, I hope it works:

1 Gillette Fusion Razor @ $8.99

1 Robitussin DM to go 2 pack @ $2.49

3 Hunts Tomatoes Sauce @ .39 cents each = $1.17 (in-ad coupon)

Tax = $1.10 (approximately)

Subtotal = $13.75

- $4.00 Gillette MFR

- $2.00 Roitussin PRINTABLE (must sign up for coupon)

- $7.00 in RRs from last week, 2 from Thermacare and 1 from P&G)

= .75 cents OOP

And I will get a $6.00 RR for the Gillette razor and a $2.50 RR for the Robitussin for a total of $8.50 back in RRs. I might have to buy some other little filler item because the Walgreens computer system can be a tricky little beast sometimes (I've had it go both ways before)

Oops, my bad, just realized that the Robitussin coupon excludes the DM to go, that sucks, Im going to have come up with another game plan.

Target and Fred Meyer Match-ups 9/20 - 9/26

September 20, 2009

Wow! The ACD must have been up all night finding the killer coupon match-ups for Fred Meyer and Target!

They got all the good Target match-ups HERE.

The Fred Meyer Match-ups are HERE.

And there is a very nice list of current Walgreen monthly RR deals HERE.

I must caution you though, you might experience a bit of a shock when you see what our Alaskan friends are forced to pay for things, I know I certainly did. They are charged anywhere from .50 cents to $3.00 more for the same sale items so be sure to double check your Sunday ads to for the prices in your area.

Thanks for all your hard work, Nichole and Kara!

Ginger and me had a little free spree today :)

My daughter and I went on a little free spree today, just for fun, to see what/if we could get some things for free with coupons. I think we did alright.

At Rosauers we got:

4 boxes of Jollytime Microwave pop corn on sale for $1.49 per box

less our $1.50 off 1 x 4 = .04 cents profit.

At Walmart we got:

7 Evercare mini lint rollers for .79 cents each = $5.53

less our $1.00 off any x 7 = $1.47 profit

At Target we got:

5 Hersheys Bliss candy Bars at .99 cents each = $4.95

less our Target store $1.00 off any x 5 (which was adjusted to .99 cents) total = $0.00

4 Crystal Light 3 packs at .99 cents each = $3.96

Less our $1.00 off 1 coupons = .04 cents profit

2 Arm and Hammer Travel size Toothpaste at .79 cents each = 1.58

Less our $1.00 MFR off( I think it was the 5/31 insert) any x 2 = .42 cents profit.

1 Tylenol trial size at .97 cents

Less our $1.00 off any = .03 cents profit.

I dont think that this particular coupon is still available.

2 Kraft Mayonnaise, on sale for $1.99 each = $3.89

Less our $1.00 off x 2 = $1.98

Less our $1.00 off Target Store coupons (adjusted to .99 cents) = $0.00

We also got 1 Edge Men's shaving gel for .24 cents by combining the Target Coupon and a $1.00 MFR my mom sent me. But considering we had at .49 cent overage it still was basically free.

We also went into Walgreens to do the Ecotrin deal, but we unfortunately encountered the Coupon Nazi Manager. She would not take the $2.25 coupon because it was over what the sale price of the Ecotrin was. I asked if she would adjust the price of the Ecotrin and get this she said that it was a violation for them to raise retail prices....I'm thinking WHAT, stores raise their prices every day, not to mention I had already used one of the coupons at a different Walgreens and got the full $2.25 off...anyway, I found these $2/off Any Ecotrin from Iheartwags so I will get my free aspirin and get paid for buying them too with the $2.00 RR. So there, Coupon Nazi Manager!

We purchased other things too so our profits went toward those items. It was a fun day, even Ginger said so. When she was little, I used to carry coupons around in a pink rubbermaid box and she was sooo embarrassed. Im using some accordion style folders I got at the Dollar tree now but Im thinking I might have to migrate to the Binder Method as these little folders are about to explode with all my coupons and are getting a bit cumbersome to carry around and look through.

New sales tomorrow! I will do Yokes and Rosauers match ups tomorrow or Thursday.
