Good deal on Dove Shampoo, q-tips and lotion

OK, the deals this week at Albertsons for the buy $30 get $15 on your next order overlap with a unilever deal where if you spend $30 on certain Unilever products, you receive $12 on your next purchase. So, here is what to do to get both deals to work

Purchase 6 Dove Shampoo or Conditioner (large size $4.99) I am aware that the white bottles work for this promo. Not sure of the other color bottles. This will equal $29.94. Not quite $30 to trigger both catalinas so you will need to add a $2.50 300 count q-tip. This makes the total $32.44. If you go to the Dove website Register first and then print out 2 $1 off coupons. If you have two doublers from sunday, that will sweeten this deal and get you $4 off making your total $28.44. Then after paying for these items you will receive $27 in catalinas for your next purchases. (YES you spend $1.44 to get 6 big shampoos/conditioners and a q-tip)If you would rather have the Vaseline lotion, the one to add to your purchase is the clinical type in the box which is $5. So, 5 shampoos, 1 lotion and 1 q-tip would get the same result.

You can use these catalinas for any items in the store and the expiration is 8/18 on mine today. I will roll them into another promo for spend $30 get $15 back. That promo goes until next Tuesday. I hear that the unilever deal will be over 8/9. Hope this helps someone! Really cheap shampoo. I am set for the rest of the year I hope!

Great week to try out Rite Aid rebates

If you have never done the Rite Aid rebates, this is a great week to try it. Lots of free items and with internet prinable coupons, some ways to MAKE MONEY by buying products. Rather than writing everything out again, I am going to refer you to two great sites


Frugal Living NW
and It's Hip to Save

Check out great ways to save. I am headed there tomorrow. If your store is out of something you want, ask for a rain check. I am told that the Rite Aid corporate will still honor the rebate if the store is out of something. My store gets shipments on Saturday too so if they are out now, check back early saturday am.
