Can't help myself...

I HAVE to write about my Wags score on my lunch break. Here's what I emailed my mom just a minute ago:

"I just scored BIG time at Wags:

They are having good RR's on stuff that we use/need and I wanted to stockpile some diapers this week...I was going to get 4 packages - which retail would be 36.00, but they have deals going on now where I could knock that down to 24$ - so I wanted to see how much other stuff I could get along with the diapers and still pay between 24 - 30$ - still 6 bucks less than the retail price.

So - here's what I got:

1st Transaction:

2 Reach Toothbrushes
2 Colgate Toothpastes
3-2 liters of Diet Coke
3 jars of Planters cocktail peanuts (for the holiday chex mix we are going to make)
2 jars of Peter Pan peanut butter
1 12-pack of Coke

-paid 23.37 (and that includes tax

After I paid - the machine spit out 2 - $5 RRs, 1 - $6RR - 1-$2 RR = 18 dollars in RR!

2nd Transaction

2 Reach Toothbrushes
1 Colgate Toothpaste

Used 1 of my $5 RR from Transaction #1 and paid 1.23

After I paid the machine spit out 1-$6 RR and 1-$2 = 8 dollars in RR

So to sum up -out of my pocket I paid: $29.6 and got $26 in RR to use on diapers! Woohoo -

MEANING - I got all that stuff for$ 3.60 -which is less than the price of the 12 pack of Coke...

Wahoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"


I know, I know - I need more toothbrushes and toothpaste like I need a hold in my head, but with the coupons I have matched up with the deals that are running - they are MONEYMAKERS -so why the heck not? Bring down the out of pocket cost of the diapers.

I am SO tempted to do that all over again if one of the Wags in Portage has the Reach toothbrushes on sale (my beloved TR one does not - which is a bummer because the toothbrush deal is a BIG one). Of course, I didn't add in all the types of deals going or the coupons I used to the email. Otherwise my OOP costs would be way higher. But anyhoo - if you want the details, give me a buzz - otherwise just appreciate the buzz I have going from getting all that stuff for less than 4 bucks...
