" Hello
I wanted to share my
toilet paper buy out LOL! They
are Marcal small steps--were on sale for
1.99 from 2.99 so I used my 2.00 off
coupon so I got them for free except for
the tax--My helpers are in the picture
just 4 out of my 6 kids--Hannah Lynne,
Noah, Braxton in the middle sitting on
toilet paper and Isaiah holding a pack.
We got more than this but used some
already and still have a few more
coupons so hopefully they will restock
before the coupon runs out. Here is
what I got:
54 packages at 1.99 each = $107.46
tax = $6.45
= $ 113.91
Then I had coupons for 2.00 off TOTAL
Out of pocket $5.91
Yeah for Toilet Paper but with 8 people
in our family don't know how long they
will last." Christy Castle |
"I just had to write! I have
been getting many great deals
these past few years but never a
camera to catch them with!
Today I did the Albertson's
Chill deal that netted me a $10
OYNO which I promptly turned
around and used for the
General Mills promotion
that was going on at the same
time! What made this deal even
sweeter was the fact that they
had their doubler coupons this
week! Using my coupons for
Wheaties, and Fiber One bars and
for One Nature Valley Nut
Clusters I was able to get four
boxes of cereal, three boxes of
cereal bars and one package of
Nut Clusters for only 50 cents!
On top of that I received 8.50
in catalinas to use OYNO and 3
catalinas for 1.00 off each on
Kellogs Special K cereal bars!
My daughter Rachel loves all of
my coupon deals! She could
hardly wait to tear into the
cereal bars! I talked her into
waiting and letting me take a
picture first. The products
from the chill deal are not
pictured as they were mostly
ice cream. I plan on
using those catalinas to get
free cookies and milk with the
Nabisco coupons from facebook.
Thanks RefundCents, Michelle,
and all of my fellow couponers
for all the great tips and
deals." Bridget P.

So the grand total in product was
$1,073.98. Total saved in manufacturer
and CVS coupons $538.12. And then I
only used $4 off a $20 or $5 off a $20
purchase coupons – on 50 transactions,
those totaled, $254.00. So grand total
of coupons was $792.12. The ExtraCare
Bucks (ECBs) I received back were
$352.42 – of course, I recycled them in
other transactions. So all in all, the
ECBs that I needed was $281.86. Profit
on ECBs was $70.56, when you subtract
the cash I spent; it ends up being
$63.35. I sent in for the following
rebates:
1.
Bioluxe Shampoo and Conditioner - $9.99
2.
Olay Regenerist - $20
3.
Coors Rebate - $10
4.
Dulcolax - $5
When I get my rebates back, I will have
made a profit of $100.03 on all of these
50 transactions. Some of the stuff is
not pictured. For example, I only
included 2 of the 6 Pepsi cases and only
1 of the three GE Waters. All of the
vitamins went to my mom and dad and so
did the Pledge Fabric sweepers."

"These are a lot of products
which I purchased which
included items such as
Gillette razors,
Schick
trimmer/razors, school
supplies, toothpastes (names
like
Rembrandt, and Plus
White), goggles, Carefree,
Band-Aid brand, and tons of
Olay
Body wash, and all
of this didn't cost over
$15.00." Gina Bryk,

 "We
do not have a
Rite Aid near us so I wasn’t able
to utilize the opportunity to make money
on the Nature’s Bounty vitamins, but I
was able to utilize the BOGO Free sale
at our 3 local Kroger stores. So my son
and I went looking for whatever vitamins
would be the most use to us at the
cheapest price. Everything you see in
the picture we got for free and only
paid the tax. I was lucky enough to
have several computers at my disposal
and numerous emails to make the most of
the $5 coupons. We now have enough
vitamin C to last our whole family for
some time and just this past weekend I
was able to share quite a bit of my
stockpile with my mother-in-law who
doesn’t have the opportunity to get in
on all our great deals. I owe all the
credit to all the wonderful people at
refundcents!!" Tracy L. IL |

"Here's how I got 12 bottles of Purex
laundry detergent for $2 at ShopRite,
which is a grocery chain in the
Northeast.
Purex detergent (72 oz) was on sale 2
bottles for $6.
It rang up as 2 bottles for $8, and
the register later deducted $2, to give
me the correct price of $3 per bottle.
Initial cost for 12 bottles was $36.
I used 6 B1G1 coupons, and $24 was
deducted (since each bottle initially
rang up as $4 each).
ShopRite was also having their Dollar
Days promotion, so for every 5 bottles
of Purex I bought, I got a $5 catalina.
So I got $10 back in catalinas. Final
OOP cost = $2." Heidi in NY |
DIXIE DEAL!!!
"My local Publix supermarket had
a B1G1F special on Dixie
paper plates and bowls.
They were all on sale for $2.93
each, but with the B1G1F offer,
they were really two packages
for the $2.93. Along with that,
the Dixie napkins were also part
of the B1G1F special and they
were selling for $2.69 each. I
had one $.55 coupon for the
plates and one $.55 coupon for
the napkins. But as I picked up
the packages of plates, I
noticed there was a coupon on
some of the packages for “free
package of Dixie napkins with
the purchase of two packages of
plates”. Combining the
on-the-package coupons, along
with the two I already had, I
made a great deal! I ended up
with 16 packages of Dixie plates
and 16 packages of Dixie napkins
for $19.24!

"Thank you so much for the for
the opportunity to renew my
subscription and receive the Pro
Plan coupons for Petsmart! What
a great deal- I was able to get
18 bags of 99 cent bags and 3
bags of chef Michaels
dog food 6lb size and
Reese
peanut butter cups for me
with the overage. I only used
9 of the pro-plan coupons and 3
$2 off coupons for the Chef
Michaels. My total oop was
$1.18..mostly for the
peanut butter cups as
they were $1.39 and had to add
something at the last minute for
overage. The cashier was so
wonderful and helpful so I
decided to use the rest of my
coupons as I had received 15
from you and had 3 of my own
already. I took my bags to the
car and went back in to use the
rest because they are expiring
this Sunday. I next purchased 7
more of the 99
 cent
Pro-Plan bags and decided to get
treats for the overage and I got
2 bags of the canine carryouts
and 6 bags of the small bacon
treats. I used 3 bogo for the
bacon treats and had $3 overage
for those also and 5 more of
the pro-plan coupons paying only
78 cents oop. I then gave the
cashier the last 4 coupons I had
for herself to use as she was
very helpful and very excited to
see all the coupons. When I
went home and started to put
away the dog food, I found in
the bags of food $3 off any size
Pro-Plan coupons. I was so
excited, I went back to Petsmart
and bought 19 more 99cent bags
and 3 6lb bags of Pro-Plan bags
to eat up the overage again. I
used 17 $3 coupons for
everything and oop was 83cents.
Of course I have more coupons
and may go back tomorrow. All
said and done I spent oop $2.79
at Petsmart and $30 for the
renewal of my subscription,
saving myself $110.97 in coupons
and the 3 dogs I have are very
happy. The big dog in the
pictures is my mutt, Abby and my
small furry friend is a boston
terrier, Mollie. Not pictured
is the last male Boston terrier
Hunter. They were shy and hard
to photograph all together. I
did my best! Thanks for
everything and all your hard
work. This website is the
best!" Blessings, Jody

"Here is what we did with
the 80 boxes of Huggies
wipes that we have gotten
from Publix. Publix had a
coupon for $1.50 off
any
Huggies Wipes (I
traded until I had 80 of
them) and I used the $0.50
off any Huggies Wipes
64-count or larger (this
coupon is doubled at my
store) (I traded and bought
off ebay until I had 80).
The wipes sell for $3 a
tub. I spent $0.50 a tub.
I spent a total of $40 and
saved a total of $200.
This morning we were just
going to take the typical
“stacked product” picture
but when we started my 2
year old asked if we were
building her a castle. So,
plans changed and a castle
emerged. It made for a lot
of happy singing from my 2
year old (until the tears
started when my 1 year old
(AKA “destruct-o-boy”)
knocked the whole thing down
with one running dive."

"Last fall I left behind the
LaSalle-Peru area. I left behind the
Walgreens that put up with all my
shopping, the CVS that almost expected
me daily, the
gas station that allowed me to
pick up Sunday newspapers Monday morning
for free. I left my mom who taught me
all I know about refunding, and thought
perhaps that I was leaving refunding
behind. But as we all have probably
learned at one point or another, you
simply can't bring yourself to pay
full-price for things when you know how
cheap you can get them. I moved to
Dekalb to go to NIU, but I am no
typical college student. I am an
RCer. Instead of filling my closets
with the choice of many
college students (alcoholic
beverages) you can see in the six short
months I have been there, I and RC have
filled them instead with mountains of
supplies. The closet full as I have
said has been gathered in just the six
months I have been here. Lots and lots
of floss, Garnier, body wash, Vasaline
lotion, feminine products, and almost
and hygiene product you can think of.
Mainly thanks to a very coupon friendly
Walgreens. I also have found in my new
settings a Menards that sells the Sunday
paper for 99cents, and have discovered
that the Jewel here often sends $7/70
coupons and allows you to use Walgreen's
RRs on anything, including gift cards,
and allowing it in combination with the
$7/70.
 The
second picture are some of my more
recent deals:
Advil: Free plus profit after $2 peelies
and RR when purchased in groups of two
Excedrin menstrual: Free plus profit
after RR and $2 IP
Oxo 4 cup
measuring cup, recipe booklet,
whisk (3 sets): Free from Arrowhead
mills rebate
Cakesters: Free coupon
Beechnut Baby Food/Baby cereal: Free
coupon
Carbonated juice: On clearance at TRU,
free after $5 gift card for becoming a
facebook fan
Ziploc: Free plus profit after sale
price of $1.49, $1 coupon at cash
register, and $2 catalina for each 3
purchased...rolling catalina
Dove Men's Body Wash: Free plus profit
after RR and $1.25 coupon
Joint Juice: Free after RR
Oatmeal: Free plus profit after
$3/5 quaker product and $5 target gift
card received
Pictures in the background (if you can
see them): Freebies from
Wags 8 by 10 and collage
Of course the best and worst thing about
being an RCer is that every single time
you think to take a picture after you
have already given 90% of the things
away. What a great feeling it is to be
able to share our hobby with those less
fortunate. Especially on the tiny
budget of a college student."

 "Here's
(finally) a picture of all the Nature's
Bounty loot I was able to get from Rite
Aid. I went up to the closest Rite Aid
to me about a week after the OP
(original poster) had let us know about
the deals you could get. The night
before I had printed several of the $5,
$3 and $2 coupons from Nature Bounty's
website and found some $1 ones in some
inserts I had. My daughter and I headed
up there first thing to make sure we got
the best selection of the day. I was a
little hesitant that there wouldn't be
anything left, but there were quite a
few options on the shelf. I ended up
doing two transactions and getting 12
bottles of Vitamins, several packages of
Bounty paper towels (we needed
these), 2 packs of Rite Aid
baby wipes (needed also), a
Colgate toothpaste (cheap after Rite
Aid's Single Check Rebate - SCR) and
some contact solution (free after SCR)
as I had to use up my $20 Gift of
Savings certificate from a few months
prior. Thanks to the vitamins being
BOGOF and being able to use the high
value coupons I spent about $8 out of
pocket (thanks to the $20 gift of
savings certificate). I'll get back a
$25
Rite Aid gift card and $10 from
the SCR program for a nice profit. Most
of the vitamins are things I normally
wouldn't use, so I plan on donating them
to a local center that can use them." -

 "Who
doesn't love free potatoes? That's what
I thought each time I ran in to Meijer
to get some (which sadly, only ended up
being a few times as I had a very busy
week). Thanks to the chat board, I was
able to learn about Meijer running their
Betty Crocker potatoes on sale 5
for $3 and that in addition to this
cheap price, there was a catalina coupon
printing for $3 off your next order.
Pay $3 and get a $3 coupon = FREE to
me!! Then I learned that even though you
couldn't roll this particular coupon (if
you used it in an order of more
potatoes, another one wouldn't print)
you could roll it with the $3 oyno
coupon which was printing when you
bought
Hamburger Helper (which after
coupons and the cat came down to $.25
per box). I ended up with 30 boxes of
potatoes and 20 boxes of Hamburger
Helper all for around $5. Can't beat
that!!!" - Dana Schrader, IN

"I
went with my
Momma to Petsmart and we
got all of this for free! Momma
read on the
Chit Chat board about a
really great deal on
Purina dog food. There
were coupons for free food! We
got 10 each of the pouches and
the bags and only paid tax of
$12.58. That’s a savings of
$139.80!
Thumbs up Momma, way to go!"

"I purchased 10 vitamins, 1 Mentos gum,
2 packages of animal crackers in two
separate transactions, paid $1.84
(including tax) and will be getting back
a $25 Rite Aid gift card. $23.16 PROFIT.
Gotta love Rite Aid's $5/$25 coupon - it
helps make these deals even sweeter. I
love getting free products and making
money at the same time - what a
wonderful hobby we all enjoy."

" Here
is my beautiful daughter with all the
Nature’s Bounty I was able to get this
week. She came with me and kept asking,
“Are we done yet?”
Transaction #1: 2 – Men’s Multi Life, 2
– Women’s Multi Life, 1 – Green Tea
Extract, 1 – Ginger Root, 2 –
Cod Liver Oil. Total Cost:
$72.32. It was B1G1F so the cost went
down to $36.16. Then I had coupons for:
1 - $5 off $25, 4 - $5, 1 - $3, 3 - $2.
Oop: $2.16.
Transaction #2: 2 – Flexamin, 2 –
Vitamin C, 2 – Cod Liver Oil, 2 –
Vitamin D. Total Cost: $73.92. It was
B1G1F so the cost went down to $36.96.
Then I had coupons for: $5 off $25, 2 -
$5, 6 - $3. Oop: $3.96
I spent $6.12 and will be getting my $25
rebate from Rite Aid. Then with all the
Nature’s Bounty, I got 22 Game of Life
tickets. In all those tickets, I won a
free VHS tape. So of course, I had to
run back and get my free tape. Don’t
know what I’m going to do with that but
hey, it was free.
Then this week, CVS also had a deal on
Nature’s Bounty also. I only had one
transaction because there was a max of 3
offers. 3 – Men’s Multi Life and 3 –
Women’s Multi Life. Total Cost:
$62.94. It was B1G1F so this cost went
down to $31.47 and I had 6 - $5
coupons. Oop: $1.47 and then I got
back $9 in Extra Care Bucks.
My husband and I have enough vitamins to
last us into 2011, but if there is
another great deal like this, I will be
heading out again." Jennifer Mulcahy |
 "My
trip this week to Walgreens was AWESOME!
I started off getting $65 in RR's from
5 Bayer meters and 3 Accu Check then
used that to get everything else. I just
kept rolling those RR's to get more and
more! I also went to Walmart to get some
more free Buddies and Kotex. My total
was $864.28 then after coupons and RR's
I spent $5.41!! This was my best coupon
week!" Jennifer Roberts |
" I
didn't get a chance to get a picture of
my vitamins that I got from Rite Aid as
my family members quickly took the ones
they wanted and just as quickly ate the
candy I got. I was also able to bless
a family in my church with some vitamins
they wanted which was especially needed
since they had just recently lost their
job. I did get the enclosed picture of
my mom's vitamins. Out of pocket was
nothing! She had a prescription that I
was able to transfer for her which then
earned her a $25 gift card. I then used
the gift card to purchase vitamins and I
only used up $7. She will make $25 so
it is an $18 profit for getting things
we all needed. Thanks to everyone in
Refund Cents for all your help
this past year." Cheryl Prether

"Today I needed to run to
Publix to "get one thing" -
but you know how that goes!
I really only needed 3 cans
of
diced tomatoes with
green chilies for the
Jambalaya that I'm making
for tomorrow's dinner - but
here is what I got, what
coupons I
used,
what I
spent
and what I
saved:
6 cans of Ro-Tel Diced
Tomatoes w/ Green Chilies -
(Retail price $1.39 each) -
I used
3 "save $.75 when you
buy 2 cans" store coupons,
3 "save $.55 when you buy 2
cans" manufacturers coupons,
and 2 Buy 2 Get 1 Free
manufacturers coupons.
I spent
$.41 on each can.
10 of the BIG 64oz bottles
of Gatorade - (Retail price
$2.50 each) - These are on
sale this week BOGO Free - I
used 10
save $.55 store coupons
and 10 save $.50
manufacturers coupons (these
get doubled). I
ended up
GETTING PAID $.30 a
bottle to
take these out of the store.
2 of the 4-packs of Benevia
Juice - (Retail price $8.49
each) - I used
2 save $4
store coupons and 2 save $5
manufacturers coupons.
I
GOT PAID $.51 a pack!
Last week Publix had the
4-packs of Fiber One Yogurt
on sale for BOGO Free. They
were out of stock when I
went to buy some, so I got a
rain check. Today they
still had not fully
re-stocked, but I was able
to pick up 5 of the
4-packs. These retail for
$2.50 a 4-pack. In addition
to my BOGO Free rain check I
used 5
save $.50 manufacturers
coupons (these get doubled).
I paid only
$.25 for
each 4-pack.
As a bonus deal, the Publix
ad this week had a coupon
for a
free shopping bag
(retails for $.99 each) when
you buy $10 worth of Frito
Lay or Pepsi products.
Well, it just so happens
that Gatorade is a Pepsi
product - so I got 2 FREE
bags!
My order total for
everything listed was a
whopping 67 cents!
I paid a grand total of
$2.21 with taxes..
I SAVED $57.88!
It's funny, instead of being
happy that I only spent
around $2 for about $60
worth of groceries, I was
upset that the cashier did
not take my Walgreens
Register Rewards coupons -
it would have knocked
another $2 off my total.

"Here is my deal-with my two
youngest boys Isaiah and Braxton
who go shopping with me. Their
youngest sister was too cranky
for the pic :)-It was at Kroger
with the $5.00 off if you buy in
quantities of 10---I bought 20
Electrasol dish washing
detergent (4 didn't make it in
the pic) but they were 3.49
before the $5.00 off then they
were 2.99 and I used my 2.50
coupons which made them 49 cents
a piece plus tax! I will be set
for a few months with
detergent--I run the dishwasher
sometimes 2 times a day with 6
kids :)" Christy Castle

" I
purchased a total of $240.74 worth of
vitamins. Received half off for Buy 1
get 1 free, so my subtotal was $120.37.
I used $218.00 in coupons, and paid
$2.37 out of pocket. I will end up
receiving two $25.00 gift cards as some
of the vitamins were for my dad. And
the good news is my family is starting
to take vitamins that we should have
been taking all along. Thanks

" Evie
found a great deal at Walgreens!
Poligrip was free after a $2.00 RR, so
Mommy bought 2! Then she got 4 drinks
for $10.00, plus used a $2.00 off 3 Coke
products coupon and one of the $2.00 RR
from the Poligrip, making them $6.50
after tax for 4 drinks! We did this
twice, getting 8 drinks and 2 Poligrip
(which I am holding in each hand), for
$13.00! Great Grandma will be so happy
with her Poligrip and Daddy will be
happy with all the drinks!" Julie

 "I
went to Walmart last week and had them
match RiteAid's price on Kotex pads for
.99. I had seven coupons for $2/2. I
bought 15 packs to make sure it would
take all my coupons. My total out of
pocket was $2.04. I thought this was
really good since they are normally
$3.26 a pack at our Walmart. I saved
$46.86. I think I won't be needing any
more pads any time soon. Well, unless I
get another great deal like this one.
LOL." Yvonne B, NC |
" I
had some of the FREE Fragrance
Collection by
Glade coupons but hadn't seen
them in stores anywhere. I saw them in
our
Commissary. We
are military and the Commissary is our
food store on post. Well, they
only had three of them so I purchased
them with the coupons and got them
free.Well, theyonly had three of them so
I purchased them with the coupons and
got them free.
Well, about 2 weeks later, the Light
Bulb went off, I had picked up the
monthly flyer when I bought the candles
but hadn't read it until now.
The Fragrance Collection by Glade was on
sale all month until the end
of September! They were on sale for
$1.16 each and I had coupons for
$3/2 which meant I would make a profit!
That I would make $.68 per
coupon, well the blood was racing inside
of me now.
I talked to Service Desk at the
Commissary to see if I could do a
"Special Order on Candles". They said
sure and how many do you want.
So I placed my order for 116 candles
because I had 58 coupons.and it
came in 2 days later. It was all boxed
and labeled for me! They were
at the service area when I went to pick
them up. Well, I told them I
had some more shopping and they said
just let the cashier know I had
the special order and need to pay for
them. I had my coupons ready (I
had two days to sort and prepare waiting
on the order). I knew that I
would have an overage of $39.44 from
purchasing the candles, 58 $3
coupons (3.00-1.16-1.16 = .68) then
times 58 coupons equals $39.44.
Well, I tried to combine good coupons
and sales to get the most out of
the $39.44, I had a hard time trying to
spend the money...every time I
would find something it would only lower
the overage a little bit! But
finally I checked out and the total for
that shopping trip before
coupons was $256.49 and the final out of
pocket was $2.59!!! Well, by
the time I got home and unloaded the
Jeep I had the BUG!
I started looking for trades and tried
to get all the coupons I could
(this is the first time I've
traded/purchase more coupons) usually I
just use the coupons I have but when I
knew I could get some more
coupons I would place another special
order at the Commissary. I did
this three more times, and the total
paid out of pocket for all of
these orders was $77.44 (this includes
the cost of the coupons), and I
saved $1035.23!!! Our freezer is full,
our pantry is full, I have bags
for the local SPCA, the Urban Mission
and I've used up a lot of
coupons! In all I used 497 coupons! and
purchased 744 items!
In the picture there are 530 Home
Fragrance Collection products! Each
box has 6 candles inside! All of these
were FREE! I purchased 25
fresh meat items and froze them,
toothbrushes, lots of HBA items, cat
food, cake mixes, Chinet
paper plates, soups, nuts, pasta,
yogurts,
eggs, Sara Lee items, laundry soap,
cleaners, marcal, dog food (for the
SPCA), snacks...just about everything
you can think of I got!
I tried to combine good coupons and
stretch the overage that I knew I
would be getting...
The best part is my husband is currently
downrange and will be HOME in
a few weeks! I email him about all the
savings he was was so excited
for ME! Told me he was Proud of the
savings but missed the fact that
he wasn't here to help me SHOP!
So "Thank You" for everything you do!
"Thank You" to all the people
who post good deals! "Thank you" to the
traders and coupon suppliers!
"Thank you" Commissary for letting us do
"Special orders"!
This Hobby is so much fun!"

" I
was so excited to get to Rite Aid this
morning that I couldn't sleep last
night! I was dreaming of Nature's Bounty
vitamins!
Thanks to many Nature's Bounty coupons,
Rite Aid store coupons,
manufacturer coupons and the
Rite Aid Winter Savings Gift Certificate,
my oop was only
$3.26. I qualified for the $3.00 rebate
on the Trojans, the $7.99 rebate on the
contact solution, and the $10 Nature's
Bounty rebate for a gift card. So I will
get back $20.99! What a great deal!

" I
have been couponing for 3 years now, I
even teach a class, run a blog, and
currently working on a website. However
I have not really gotten into
stockpiling, not
big time. I always have at min
5-10 of everything, but with a new
addition to the family, its time to kick
it up a notch! This is my
Krazy about
Kelloggs. My store, Bi-Lo had
Kellogs B1G1, they rang up between 1.24
and 1.36 each. I used my $1/2, and ended
up with 28 boxes for 29.00! After only
getting 28 boxes, I realized that I need
to up my number of papers on Sunday
(from 5-7, next week base of 10). I love
the site, it is a big help! I am getting
into rolling RR's and ECB's I use to get
them and turn aroung and use them, but
not on another participating item. I
went to WAGS on
Saturday night and ended up with
4 transactions, $36 OOP and $68 in
products with $3RR to start with this
week!" Shana McDowell

"Here is the great deal I got at
Rite Aid. Rite Aid had their
Stayfree pads on sale for Buy One
Get One Free. Clearly I had a
handful of Stayfree Buy One Get One
Free manufacturers coupons (1/3). I
ended up with 26 packages of
Stayfree pads THAT WERE FREE!! Some
of the packs had a $1 off coupon
stuck to them and the cashier pulled
these off and scanned them in!!
BONUS!!!
I also picked up a total of 6 (4
packs) of GE Reveal lightbulbs.
They are on sale for 2 for $4 - with
a $2 rebate when you buy 2 - so that
is like paying $2 for 2 boxes. I
had some $1 off 1 box manufacturers
coupons (1/3) - which basically
makes them FREE. Also on sale this
week is Dawn dish detergent. It is
on sale for 99 cents. I had two $1
off 1 bottle coupons (from the
"Refresh Your Nest" homemailer)
making both bottles FREE. I also
ended up getting 2 Luxe Milk
Chocolate bars, a package of 3 X 5
index cards, 3 New Moon candy bars,
4 bags of M&Ms, 2 bags of York
Peppermints, 1 bag of Hershey
Kisses, 6 boxes of O.B. tampons, a
2010 calendar, and a pack of Orbit
Gum. In addition to all of the other
coupons, I also used my "$5 off a
total order over $20" coupon that I
received from the Rite Aid Video
Values site.
Here is the deal that I did at
Walgreens. First, I purchased a
Bayer Contour Glucose Meter and used
a coupon (from 10/09) for up to $30
off - making the meter FREE. I did
not spend a single penny on it - not
even tax. The best part was that my
purchase generated a $5 Register
Reward. For my next transaction, I
bought 5 boxes of Electrasol, then
gave them 5 of the $2.50 off coupons
- taking my total down to $4.95
(plus tax) - then I gave them my $5
Register Reward coupon that I
received from the Bayer Meter -
making my purchase FREE. All I paid
for was the tax. And to sweeten the
deal, I received a $1 Register
Reward for my purchase. Clearly you
can see by the picture that I did
this deal several times. I ended up
with 3 Bayer Glucose Meters (that I
will donate to charity and be able
to write off their value of $270 on
my taxes next year) and A YEARS
SUPPLY of Electrasol Dishwashing
tabs. Of course, I had to go to
several different Walgreens stores
in order to purchase this many -
but, hey, it was worth it! The total
I spent for everything in the
picture is $29.21 and I saved
$505.16." Nicole Miller

"Here is my Nature’s Bounty deal ~ $50
in product, my OOP was $2.34 and I will
get back a $25 gift card. The ester c
was bogo and was free after my coupons.
Thanks Refund Cents for the all the

Here’s the total ~ We “bought” $443 of

 The
Rite Aid rebates include $6 on Single

receipt with the other P&G products in
so the picture is missing a few items.
What a great month ~~ and this picture

My Special Deal on Special K
!!!!!
"I was
shopping at Food Lion, and stumbled
upon this awesome deal. All Special
K cereals were on sale 2 for $5. On
some of the boxes, there were peelie
coupons that stated "Buy this box of
Special K cereal and receive a free
4 pack of Special K protein shakes,
protein bars, or protein water mix."
Ok, so immediately the wheels
started turning, and I was thinking,
OK, this deal has the potential to
be very huge, so I started searching
through my coupon binder for
additional coupons to use on top of
the ones on the boxes of cereal. I
knew I wanted the protein shakes,
because they were very good, and the
regular price was $5.99 for a 4 pack
~~ way too pricey for me to buy
without coupons, LOL. Also, I found
a coupon in my binder Buy one box of
Special K cereal , get one free...so
this was going to make the deal even
sweeter! So, I put the 2 boxes of
cereal in my cart and went over to
the other aisle to get the protein
shakes. When I got there, my heart
skipped a few beats, when I seen the
sign that said......Buy any 5
Special K products and receive $5
off your shopping order! So I bought
the snack bars and the protein water
mix to make 5 items on each
order.... AND ..... each one of
those boxes had a $1 off peelie
coupon too..... I was in coupon
heaven by now!!! I knew right then,
I was gonna make out like a banshee
on this deal!!
So, I did this order 4 separate
times, at 3 different Food Lion
stores in my area....here is the
breakdown:
8 boxes of cereal ($2.50 x 8 = $20)
8 four packs of protein shakes
($5.99 x 8 = $47.92)
3 boxes of protein snack bars ($3.29
x 3 = $9.87)
1 box of protein water mix ( $4.29)
Ok, so regular price on all these
items without coupons would have
been
$82.08
plus
tax. After all my manufacturer
coupons, coupons on the boxes of
cereal for free shakes, the coupons
on the boxes of bars and water mix,
AND an additional $5 off each order
from Food Lion, my grand total out
of pocket for all these items
was......drumroll please....... a
whopping $5.16 plus tax!! Gotta Love
It!"

"Christmas is about sharing Christ’s
love and compassion to others. This year
more than any other year I can remember,
we had so many people in desperate need.
Not just for presents but mainly for
food. I wanted to give back to my
community and this year I had the unique
opportunity to help entire families, not
just children. We have tightened our
belts and had to watch our expenses like
most of America. Our Sunday school
class decided months ago to collect
money weekly for a Christmas fund for
the needy. We raised around $200.00 and
decided to purchase food for 10
families. As most of you know, $200.00
does not go a very long way. My friend
Melissa and I decided to scour the
papers and clip coupons to get the best
deals. My daughter Dannie loved clipping
hundreds of coupons and we bought so
much food (with the help of coupons) we
could not lift the boxes!!
We quickly called in reinforcements, and
our town’s fire fighters came out and
loaded the boxes into vehicles. It was
an amazing site. So many people were
involved to get these food boxes out to
these ten families!"

 "I
am a total NEWBIE here, just began
really couponing in October 2009. I have
to say I have no idea how I ever paid
full price for anything now that I
realize what I can save. I look at items
and see the prices now and won’t even
put them in my cart without at least a
coupon or a great deal. It’s hard to
even buy anything with just a coupon
with little savings. I began couponing
by joining a neighbor who said to come
over and go through coupons with her
since she had so many inserts. She went
first took what she would use and then
handed me the inserts. I then saw so
many items I could use and took some.
Now I get approximately 10-15 papers per
week and file them away. As I see deals
I clip them out. I started clipping
everything and filing in a binder, but
working full time and taking care of
three children I just did not have the
time for that. Now I file the inserts
per week. I have saved so much money on
normal items we would have purchased
anyways and also now have TONS of other
items we would never have purchased but
with the great deals I could not pass
up. It is an amazing feeling to me when
my children come to me and say "Mom I
need this … or we are out of this…", I
am able to reply to them go in the spare
room I have some of them on the shelves.
And yes even just beginning couponing I
have had to purchase a shelving unit to
store my stash! I was able to give GREAT
Christmas gifts to my family for little
money out of my pocket. This was the
first Christmas in years where I wasn’t
so financially and mentally stressed, it
was really a miracle. This deal is one
that I was able to do on Dec. 27th at
Walmart. They marked down their holiday
items to 50% off which included their
displays of Glade Candles. I now have
enough candles to make wonderful baskets
for my children’s teachers and our
family member for next Christmas. I can
now check off 6 people to purchase gifts
for next year!!!! PLUS I have tons of
stuff to use in my home.
121 items (my cashier forgot to ring up
one item)

" I
downloaded several of the $5 coupons for
the
Fisher Price Trio toys prior to
Christmas and was able to buy several
sets for my nephew for
Christmas. I was not able to get
in on the Trio Castle deal at Target as
all stores in a 50 mile radius were sold
out, but I kept looking for a really
good deal. Upon opening the toys at
Christmas I discovered that my nephew
really liked them and my son enjoyed
them just as much. I was highly
impressed with their quality and
versatility and knew at once that I
wanted to find more. My mother and I
hit Toys-R-Us after Christmas looking
for a good deal and discovered that not
only did they have Trio on sale for Buy
2 Get 1 Free, but that they had the $10
coupons attached that I had read so much
about on Refundcents. So after some
careful calculations we were able to do
3 separate transactions combining the
$10 peelie coupons, the $5 internet
coupons, and the B2G1 deal. We ended up
paying approximately $22.56 for $80 in
toys, add my pre-Christmas purchases and
it came out to be about $45 for $120 in
toys. Combining the after Christmas
deal and my pre-Christmas purchases both
my 2 yr old nephew and 6 year old son
will be building contently for some time
to come." Tracy L, IL |
"I had so much fun this year shopping
for toys, due to all of the good deals
posted on Refund Cents! I bought the
Nerf Tech Target for my grandson (on
sale and with a manufacturer coupon and
a Kmart coupon), and then received 50
free Tech Target darts by mail ($24.99
value). I'm sure this will be a hit on
Christmas morning, and it only cost us
about $12.00 for the $50.00 gift. I
also had purchased several Transformer
cars at Kmart. These were also on sale
and I had a coupon, so they ended up
costing about a dollar apiece for the $5
cars. I then shopped at
Target for the Leapfrog Alphabet pal,
with price matching and coupons, those
came out to .49 each (plus tax). I
bought two for gifts and two to donate.
In addition, I bought several of the
Santa Spuds for $5.99 each and used
$5.00 coupons, so those only cost me 99
cents plus tax.
Next was Toys R Us for their
Hasbro toy deal (buy $25 get a $10 GC;
in addition to sending away for
rebates). I was sad they were out of so
many of the more reasonably priced
games, but was still able to snag four
games for about $6 after rebates!
Finally, I shopped Fred
Meyer for the Playskool Sit n Spin
(bought 4 - two to donate, two for
gifts), they were on sale for $16.99
(regularly $24.99), I had $10 off
coupons and also a 10% off of toys
coupons. In addition, I bought several
of the Mr. Potato Head Spuds parts n
pieces (snow tato, police officer, etc
to go with the Santa Spuds from Target)
that were on sale for $3.99 and I had $5
off coupons. These ended up being a
money maker and some of the overage went
to bring down the price of the Sit n
Spins to around $5 each including tax!"

 "I
went to Wags last week and this is all
the stuff I scored! My total before
sales, coupons, and RRs was $187.42 and
after all was said and done I paid
$20.92! I love coupons and RefundCents."

Baby deal of a lifetime!
"This was a deal
that I cannot imagine ever repeating
itself (I can’t believe it worked!).
The deal was at Walgreens, and though it
was a little complicated, it was well
worth the effort. At the time, my
youngest was about 6 weeks old, my
middle son was 2 ½ (so still in
diapers), and my oldest was still
wearing pull ups at night. That was a
lot of diapers we were using!
Walgreens brand
diapers were on sale for $5.99. If you
purchased 3, you got register rewards
for $5 off your next purchase (bringing
them down to $4.32 + tax per pack).
There was a book you could get from the
pharmacy for $2 off per package. This
coupon could be reused (if you got a
good cashier who knew to give it back).
Now we are down to $2.32 + tax per
pack. There was also a coupon in the
Easysaver book (yes, I do miss those
books!) for $2.50 off per pack. So…they
are now paying me $0.18 to take them
home (before tax – after Ohio tax it was $0.25 for 3 packages!).
Wow – great
deal….but wait, there’s more! During
the overlap days, there was another $5
off on 3 packages of diapers coupon.
The registers would allow the use of all
3 coupons, and the $5 register reward
was still printing! Now I was getting
PAID to take these diapers home! I
actually had to “buy” other things to
use the overage.
Okay, you can’t
beat that, right? But wait, there’s
STILL more! The Walgreens card was just
coming out to give you 10% back for all
Walgreens purchases. These were
Walgreens diapers, and they gave you the
10% BEFORE all the coupons (or $0.60 per
package!). The money I made on the
diapers paid for the $20 card many times
over.
I still can’t
believe that I got paid to take diapers
home! While you couldn’t roll the
register rewards, the stores did allow
me to convert them to gift cards at the
time, which made it much easier to use
the RR (that would have been a
LOT of money to spend in two
weeks!). I don’t think Walgreens had
any idea of the power of RefundCents
members to put together all the savings
that were there (thanks Taylor!)! The savings on diapers
from this deal probably paid for my
Refund Cents subscription for the NEXT
30 years!!" Lisa Samson |
"I
have been a member of refundcents for
the past 6 years. This is my first time
submitting an article. I felt I had to
share this deal with all my refundcents
friends. I came across a great coupon.
Save $3 wyb two packs of alkaline
batteries and a toy. It doesn't expire
until Jan. 31 2010. So I have plenty of
time to take advantage of this offer. I
remember reading on refundcents target
had the alkaline Rayovac batteries for a
dollar. So yep you guessed it off to
Target with my coupons and my seven year
old son Cody. I did wonder what toy I
would find for a dollar. Good thing I
had my son Cody with me. He wanted a
HotWheel and a bell went off in my head.
I could get two packs of batteries and a
HotWheel for free. I don't know whom was
more excited about this deal, myself or
my seven year old son Cody. We have got
several Hotwheels and batteries over the
last few months. Not only did Cody
benefit from this deal, but we also
shared with our family members who are
suffering in these trying economic
times. I have enclosed a photo of my son
Cody." Lisa P. |
"This winter there was a great
coupon put out by Rayovac. It
stated, "buy any 2 Rayovac batteries
and a toy and get $3 off". Target
had Rayovac batteries for $1 ea and
HotWheels for .97 ea. So needless to
say I only paid tax.
Now the question was, do I wrap all
of these HotWheels? I came up with a
better plan!!! Cover my tree with
them!! My 4 1/2 year old daughter
and 2 1/2 year old twin sons went
crazy when they saw this....almost
not even acknowledging the gifts
below!!!
What a great Christmas! Thanks
Rayovac, Thanks Target, Thanks
Santa!!!!"

"In 2009, the department I work
in began an
annual Harvest Festival Event
in an underprivileged
neighborhood in my City. And, I
was tasked to see what kinds of
toys or prizes I would be able
to provide for the children for
next years event. I checked with
our local Toys R Us to see how I
would go about asking for
donations for the event, but
found that my organization is
not eligible to get
donations....So, needless to
say, when the Hasbro Rebate at
Toys R Us came out, there was
that one week where some of the
games were on sale, and, they
were offering a FREE $10
Giftcard with every $25 purchase
and a
FREE game night trophy
with the purchase of certain
games. I began planning my
strategy and headed to Toys R
Us. Ofcourse, I used my $10
Giftcards that I got with every
$25 purchase to ease the cost of
the higher games that week and
went back five or six different
times. In addition, I’ve been
keeping up with all the coupons
and sales for other toys at
Target etc. I ended up getting
almost all of the
Hasbro games (including
Monopoly,
Scrabble, Sorry!,
Jenga, Connect 4,
Operation, Trouble, Twister,
Gator Golf,
Hungry Hungry Hippos,
Scatterpillar Scramble, Topsy
Turtle,
Candy Land,
Chutes and Ladders,
Memory, Hi Ho! The Cherry-O,
Cootie, Don’t
Spill the Beans, Don’t
Break the Ice and
Ants in the Pants). I
also used my target coupons and
found a couple
Nintendo or
WII games on sale from
$34.99 down to $9.99, and got
them for two for $9.99, and
found the
Mr. Potato Head
Spuds on sale at Target
for $5.99 and used my $5.00
coupons on those, so they were
only .99 cents each. Oh, and a
Buy One Get One Free Hasbro Card
game deal purchased at Kmart
when they were on sale for $5.99
each. Here is my collection of
prizes for the 2010
Harvest Festival so far.
I’ve spent about $175 out of
pocket, but, will be getting a
$52 rebate from
Hasbro, and, still have
(2) of the $10 Giftcards left
over too. It’s not FREE, but 32
games for a little over $100, is
not a bad start for the event!
Here’s a picture of me with all
the games and my two left over
Toys R Us Giftcards!" - Nancy

 "Here
is a photo of my grandchildren Kaylie
and Chase posing with our Saturday haul
from Kmart and Walgreens. We picked up
over 60 Snuggles, some Honey Bunches of
Oats, shampoo, razors and some other
items. I used the $5 off $50 KMart
coupon to pick up some free t-shirts for
DH." Lynda Bisbee |
"I am very
new to refunding. I've always used
coupons, but only one or two here
and there. Now that I'm a member of
Refund Cents I've become coupon crazy.
My husband just laughs at me and says he
will never use any coupons. Although he
does tell me he's very happy with all
the money I've been saving us over the
past month. I've been having so
much fun clipping coupons and seeing how
much I can save, and in many cases I've
even made some money. We got some really
great deals in one week at Walgreens,
Rite Aid, Fred Meyer, and Target. We got
a total of 64 items. Everything pictured
plus two gallons of milk and two
magazine subscriptions. The total of
everything came to $289.90. After,
coupons, rebates, and register rewards
we spent a grand total of $10.57. That
is a savings of $279.33. I couldn't
believe all the great deals I got and
now I have enough Chex Mix and shampoo
to share with family and friends."
- Jamie Harnar |
"I was a little nervous to do the
Herbal Essences deal at Rite Aid
this week. The store had a BOGO on
their shampoo and conditioner and I
had a BOGO coupon for the same
thing. I knew it would make both
products free, but I read many
stories of being shot down or being
told no by the manager who had no
idea how coupons worked. However,
this deal was too good to pass up,
so I decided to forge ahead and
try. As soon as I saw it posted on
Refund Cents, I traded for 29
coupons through the RC trading
boards. When my coupons came, I
headed out to my first Rite Aid
store and got two bottles. When I
used one coupon and got them both
for 24 cents without comment from
the cashier, I knew I was on to
something great! I went back for
more from that store and hit two
more stores, neither of which gave
me a problem. I ended up getting 58
bottles for free except for tax. My
cashiers all commented on what a
good deal I was getting and asked
where I get my coupons. I told them
I belong to a great club!!
And...what was I going to do with
all of them? I told them I would
have fabulous hair for at least 2
years to come. I love this hobby!"

"My family LOVES cereal!
They eat it for meals, as
well as snacks. I was
thrilled when I realized
that
WalMart had the
cereal on sale for $1.50/box
and I had some $3 coupons
and a lot of $1.50 coupons.
After 2 trips to WalMart, I
bought 17 boxes of cereal
that would've cost $51 and
they paid me $3 to bring
them home!!! And half of the
boxes have coupons on them!!
And to think that this time
last year, I was paying full
price for cereal!!!! I LOVE
COUPONING!!!!!
Many thanks to all those on
this site who share their
great finds! I treasure
this site!"

 "My
mommy and I were able to get 59 packs of
character Band-Aids for free last week!
Walgreens had the Johnson and Johnson
bandaids, including the character
band-aids, on sale for $1.99 with the
in-ad coupon. My mommy had two
Walgreens activity books that she bought
earlier in the summer which contained
multiple Walgreens
coupons for kids items. One of
the coupons was good for $2 off any
character band-aid. We stopped at
several Walgreens during the week and
picked up a few each time - and since it
was a Walgreens coupon, it took $2 off
each pack no matter how many we bought.
Only one cashier insisted on keeping the
coupon so my mommy was able to use the
second one multiple times. My Aunt Dawn
(also a RC member) found more activity
books and my mommy bought 5 more from
her just in case any of the other
cashiers decided to keep the coupon. Two
of the stores we stopped at also didn't
have any character band-aids in stock,
so my mom got rain checks so we can pick
up a few more packs later. We're all set
for when I'm old enough to get ouchies,
even though it's a long way off!!"

" The
stars must have been aligned for us the
week we did this. My family and I
bought 25 boxes of Capri Sun and 50 bags
of Nabisco 8oz. bags of cookies. We
will be getting the 25 Easy Mac to send
in for the rebate. The cookies were no
longer on sale at Wal-Mart, but we asked
them to special order them anyways.
First that ordered the multi packs -
they then had to order the right ones.
By the time they came in the cookies
were in Targets add for $1.00. :) So we
price matched at Wal-Mart with Target
and used the coupons I had collected for
everyone. We will send in for the
rebate and get everything pictured for
free. Pictured at the top is big AJ
(neighbor) with my son AJ, Middle row is
Tucker and Parker (both neighbors) and
bottom row is Kiahanna (neighbor) and my
daughter Sarah. Needless to say our
place is the place they like to be at.

"Can’t beat FREE. I am rather new to
RefundCents and I am so thankful that my
friend finally talked me into joining. I
was a little leery at first, but thank
goodness I came to my senses (or is
cents’!). For the past 3 months I have
slowly been learning ‘all the tricks of
the trade’ and this past month was my
best ever. I was able to get about 100
free cans of soup (thanks to all my
family, friends, neighbors and ladies at
work for helping me print off coupons!),
Airwick Air Fresheners, Rubber Gloves,
Candy, Pop, Health Choice meals (loved
that deal at Kroger’s), Laundry Soap,
Tin foil, Toilet paper, Toothpaste,
Razors, Shampoo and the list goes on
and on. The items in the picture are
just a sneak peak into what my basement
really holds! I am getting to the point
where I need my husband to build some
shelves, the boxes are not going to do
it! I can not thank everyone enough on
how helpful all the postings and updates
are, they really have helped me out
during my ‘training’. I have become a
coupon/best deal addict (and love it!).
My husband now
asking me every time I come home from
the store – “so how little did you
spend?” I even threw in a few things in
my sister’s garage sale and made $115.00
(not bad for my first time). My plan is
to get my two kids together and help me
gather most of the free soup and other
items and donate them to the local Food
Pantry and Homeless shelter. My sister
and family have fallen on hard times
(both out of work and 5 kids) so I plan
on giving the rest to her. My family is
just amazed at all the deals I come home
with, and all the thanks go to
RefundCents and all the subscribers!
Thanks again - From the newbie. Looking
forward to all the deals we plan to get
at Christmas!" Tricia L, OH |
 "Thanks
to all you wonderful people I was able
to make this deal better. I live in a
relatively
small town in Texas, but I can
get the
Dallas and Austin newspapers from
the gas station by my house. I usually
pick up 1 Dallas paper since its $3.00,
and 2 Austin papers now $2.00, but I
sent my husband to pick up the papers
and I ended up with two of each. Any way
I had already thrown the papers in the
recycling bin when I checked the
"Centsible Chat" and it said that
Parade magazine had a $3.00
Surf coupon. So I dug through the
recycling bin and pulled out all 4
Parade Magazine's. Wal-mart had the
40 load boxes of Surf for $4.50 a box.
Lucky for me there were only 4 boxes
left. With my (4) $3.00 coupons they
were $1.50 a box. The
Glade Sense and Sprays were at
Wal-mart for $5.00 each. I had (4) $4.00
coupons from the 8/23 smart source and
they were $1.00 each. For the Glade
Soy candles I had a $2.00 coupon
for a 3 wick candle and a $3.00 coupon
on any size from the August All You
magazine. The 4.9 oz was $3.00 free
after coupon, and the 3 wick candle
was $4.50, and $2.50 after coupon. I am
so proud of the deal. My son was
impressed, but unfortunately my husband,
the rest of my family, and friends do
not share in my joy.
Surf
$18.00
Q's $12.00
OOP $6.00
Glade Sense and Spray
$20.00
Q's $16.00
OOP $4.00
Soy Candles
$7.50
Q's $5.00
OOP $2.50
Total: $45.50
OOP with tax: $13.53"

 "My
little girl Heaven and I took advantage
of the RiteAid deals posted on Chat. We
printed the $1 off coupons on Johnson &
Johnson website first, then watched the
RA video to get $5 off $20. J&J products
were on sale $2.99 each. Some even had
blue peelies on them for $1 off. So we
bought ten products @$2.99 minus $10
worth of coupons and also bought one
Suave Lotion on sale for $1.99 minus $1
coupon from Sunday paper. We also used
the $5 off $20 coupon. Then we will send
off for the $1 Suave rebate and the $15
J&J rebate and also the Fall Gift of
Savings $5 rebate. So in all I spent
$13.90 out of pocket, but after rebates
will get all our money back and have a
profit of $6.10. My messy little girl
will be clean, clean, clean." Sheri

"Banshee is patiently waiting for Abbi to finish her portion of Chef Michaels Canine Creations (yes, cats love it too). My deal started the day before when I went to my local PetSmart to finish buying the Fancy Feast Appetizers for Cats 2 for 1s. I was walking thru the isles waiting for my son to come pick me up when I noticed on the dog side of the store the Chef Michaels 2 for 1 deal. Buy 2 cans for .89. These packages also had the coupons on top for up to $1 off a can. I thought I had coupons left from the last deal on these. To my horror I did not. But I was not going to let this get me down. I just went to the store and purchased 10 2 for 1 cans (which cost me more than my entire deal at this store. It was worth it though). After going out to my car a couple of times and cutting the coupons off then going back into the store and buying 10 more. I decided to talk to the store manager and see if he would work with me on this. I told him no matter how I did it I was going to be buying all of the 2 for 1 packages he had on the shelf. I explained to him this would make it easier on myself and his checker if I could just take all of the cans off of the shelf and go to a register not being used and cut all of the coupons off then do them all at one time. He said that he did not see any problem doing this (he even went and got me a cart). After clearing off the shelves and 15 minutes of cutting coupons off the packages I was finally ready to check out. At this store my final purchase was before coupons $126.11 after coupons $19.31 and I got 130 2 for 1 packages (260 cans total). After this excitement I thought I would try another PetSmart in a neighboring town. They did not have as many cans so I just kept going into the store and buying 10 at a time. I was able to get 50 2 for 1 packages there (100 cans total) and one of the cool reusable bags that gives 20% back to a PetSmart Charity. At this store my final purchase before coupons was $48.62 after coupons $4.01. I forgot to mention that I got the reusable bag free also because on one of my purchases I got the survey for $3 off my next purchase.
My final total after both stores. 180 2 for 1 packages (360 cans total) and reusable bag. Final purchase before coupons $178.10 after coupons $23.32."

"This is one of my great shopping sprees at Kmart. I had some problems with the registers but that's normal....if you've done Kmart doubles before. All in all, it was a good day and I was able to score all of this for about $14. Not bad, for over $400 in products. I made around $3,900 in my yard sales this summer. Thanks so much for teaching me how to save money and make money. Also, these are my daughters Katee and Emilee. They love to arrange things on the table for me when I get home... they love picking out the candy for themselves!" Carla P. Ohio

"It took me a few weeks to really understand all the deals that RCer's post about. It's like trying to drink from a fire hydrant! Deals are plentiful here!
My oldest son, Dalton, and I did very well one recent Saturday night. We went to Walgreens, Target and Dillons. Using the deals and coupons we read about on RC, we were able to save $287.68! Out of pocket, we spent just under $60. I have always heard about those coupon queens that are able to feed their family for pennies, but I never imagined I'd be able to do it too. In June, when we started couponing, we were saving 7% average. Now, using the information from RC, we average 60% savings, and we've even done as well as 97%.
Thank you Michele and thank you to all the wonderful people on RC that take the time to post the good deals! We could not have learned how to save thousands without you!!" Melissa Schnieders and family

" I
got those when there was a deal at our
local Superone Foods 10 for $10.00 on
Charmin and Scott 4 packs, I ordered
$1.00 off 1
Charmin coupons and $1.00 off 1
Scott coupons and got all of this
toilet paper and more for just
tax. I ended up with over 300 4 packs
of toilet paper for tax only, and lined
my shelves with enough toilet paper to
last a lifetime at my house and also
supplied my mother and sister with
enough toilet paper for a while too."

"While waiting to go to my doctors
appointment, my husband and I went to a
few of our local Super One Foods stores
as they were having a GREAT sale on
Kelloggs products. They were on
sale 10 for $25.00 and also had an in
store coupon for $10.00 off when you buy
10 kelloggs products, making them 10 for
$15.00. I matched up coupons that i had
for $1.00/2 making the final cost of
$10.00 for 10 kelloggs cereals and
poptarts. Even better there is the
Kelloggs Fuel for School $10.00 rebate
when you buy 10, so final cost after
rebate is 10 boxes of cereal or pop
tarts for FREE!! After several trips to
the stores and many friends and family
to send the rebates in for, we ending up
with 80 boxes of Kelloggs cereal and 20
boxes of kelloggs pop tarts in a matter
of 2 hours. Spent $100.00 out of pocket
today and will get back $100.00 in
rebates for
friends and family members. Also
all the cereal i got had double dvd
rewards so will also get 16 FREE DVDS
out of the deal also!!! So 80 boxes of
cereal, 20 boxes of poptarts and 16 dvds
all for FREE!!!!(pics of all the
Kelloggs cereal and poptarts with the 3
kids my daughter Katie 3, my niece
Dakota 4, and my nephew Billy 2)"

"We have improved on our coupon skills with every sale and would like to share another photo with all of you of the deals we made on our last K-Mart Double Days, we had so much stuff we couldn't get it all in the photo. We never miss a sale and we always come out with boat loads of stuff. We appreciate the coupon values more and more with every good sale we come across. CVS and Walgreens are great and we roll every week at all the local stores, and Krogers is good during the 10-4-10 sales, but you can't beat a weeks worth of shopping during the K-Mart double days. In fact we are getting so good that we have doubled the amount of products that we get in a week and for less than we could have imagined. In one week of K-Mart sales we added up all of our receipts and we brought home $2176.50 worth of all kinds of different products (as you can see from the photo) and spent only $265.76 out of pocket and we also received $67.00 in catalina rewards at checkout. So we really only had $198.76 OOP!! We took the catalina rewards and bought socks, clothes and books for Savana. How great is that!!
We have recently expanded our coupon shopping to Target & Meijers and WOW! ... What you can get at those stores is turning out to be as good and sometimes greater than the deals we get at K-Mart due to the fact that they still have their own store coupons that can be used with a manufacturer coupon. It's like Christmas every week. :) HO.HO,HO.
We have never had so much fun and so much stuff in our house as we do now and we owe it all to the wonderful world of coupons.
JUST A LITTLE NOTE; Since we have started our coupon excursion and are doing so well in these trying times because of it, we felt it a need to give to those that are less fortunate. So we are doing our part to help. We give to those that have lost their jobs recently, a family that's house burnt down and to some family & friends that are just plain squeaking by. That makes our hearts whole knowing that we can make a difference if only a small difference and we will continue to do so. Thanks Refundcents for posting all the great deals, keep up the good work.
Good luck, Great sales, and Happy Couponing!
With coupon love, The Meeks' "

"I think my husband and family may have
to call for an intervention soon, my
shelves are quickly filling up with any
and every kind of air freshener out
there! This is started because there are
usually such high value coupons for
them, BUT, this time they made me
money!! Recently Rite Aid had a sale
where they put the Air Wick I-Motion air
fresheners on for 50% off. This made
them $6.99 each, and the smaller ones
$4.99 each. I remembered having high
value coupons from Sunday papers for
these so I started gathering them from
my coupon box to take to the store. I
thought that if they weren’t REALLY
cheap or free I just wouldn’t bother.
Then I realized that the Rake in the
Fall Savings event was happening and my
wheels were turning! I had coupons for
$6.00 off the large I-Motion fresheners
and $4.00 off the small I-Motion
fresheners, this would make each one
only .99. I began thinking about
Christmas baskets and presents for
teachers and my church and thought I
could spring for them at that price (the
original price on these at Rite Aid is
$13.99 and $8.99 each!!) So, I bought 5
or 6 on my first trip and when I got
home I entered my receipt at
www.riteaid.com for the Fall
Savings promotion. They were calculating
my total based on pre-coupon
prices! So instead of counting the .99
per air freshener (which is what I
actually paid) it counted 6.99 per air
freshener towards the Fall promotion.
The promotion if you are not familiar
with it was buy $100 and get a $20 gift
certificate. After a few trips to Rite
Aid I was over the $100 quota and
received my $20 gift certificate within
a couple of weeks (spending maybe $15.00
towards the {softline$100). Now, with
this in hand I thought about how I could
roll it over into anther offer. There
was a P&G offer for spending $30 on
participating products, get a $10 Rite
Aid Gift card. I pulled coupons for the
P&G items (Olay soap and Herbal Essences
shampoo). I threw in a few 75% off
clearance items (for Christmas presents)
and bought $40 worth of stuff for only
$4.63! I did this using the $5 off $25
coupon I printed from the internet,
manufacturer coupons for the P&G items,
and my $20 Fall Savings Gift
Certificate. When I got home I started
entering my Rite Aid receipt for the P&G
offer and hope to receive a $10 gift
card! This is the way I pay less out of
pocket and stock my shelves for the
upcoming holiday season! My house will
be smelling good well into 2010 and
beyond!! Now what’s the next offer..."

"I’m so pleased with the deals I’m
finding at RiteAid lately, and, the
cooperation that I am getting from the
management, too! Last week, or maybe
even a couple of weeks ago I shopped at
RiteAid and did the Magnum Razor deal. I
had $4 and $3 coupons and bought (3)
packs, and they were supposed to give
you a FREE cartridge re-fill pack with
each purchase. Well, my Rite Aid only
had one of the re-fill cartridge packs,
so the manager gave me a rain check for
two FREE packs when they got them
shipped in!! I visited Rite Aid
yesterday and..............
This is a list of what I bought:
Re-useable Rite Aid grocery sack
Rite Aid Sun Block
Rite Aid Lip protection
1 pack of Trident Gum
Jumbo pack of Huggies Diapers
(6) Bags of Halloween Candy
Crest w/Scope Toothpaste
Gillette Fusion Razor
Nivea Lip Balm
(2) Magnum Razor re-fill packs
This is how I paid:
.50 Nivea Lip Balm
$1.00 coupon on Crest
$4.00 coupon on Fusion Razor
$1.00 coupon on (2) packs M&M candies
$5.00 off $25.00 @ Rite Aid
FREE coupon from Rite Aid Voucher on
Huggies Diapers (from last months
rebates)
FREE coupon for Rite Aid re-useable Bag
FREE coupon for Rite Aid Sun block
FREE coupon for Rite Aid lip protection
FREE coupon for pack of Trident Gum
(above all from tote bag offer from last
month)
FREE rain check on (2) Magnum Razor
cartridge re-fill packs (from last
week’s
deal)
(2) $25 Gift Cards to Rite Aid from
August Rebate book
So, for $88.36 worth of items.........I
PAID only $2.01 OUT OF POCKET FOR ALL!!!
And, I’ll be submitting for my $5,$2.69
& $2.00 rebates for the Crest,
Gillette Razor
& Nivea Lip Balm too. Plus, some
of my total may go towards the Rite-Aid
"Rake in the Savings" Rebate as well!" Nancy Raimer |
"I took good advantage of
the deal in September at
Walgreens where you buy 2
Hershey's bars and get a
free 20 oz.
Coke. I traded for
and bought a bunch of the
55ct/1 Reese's product
coupons and combined them
with the ones I clipped from
my own inserts. In total, I
ended up getting 160 candy
bars, which resulted in 80
free bottles of Coke. For
each 10 bars, I got 5
Cokes and used 9
coupons = 5 cents for the
set. That was only 80 cents
I paid in total OOP. I also
spend $21 in total on the
coupons, so the grand total
was $21.08. My husband and
I just bought our
first house and are closing
on Oct. 30th - we are going
to give out the bars for
Halloween. Great way
to become the kids' favorite
house in the new
neighborhood! A lot of the
sodas are missing in the pic
because we drank a lot
already!
My hubby, David, is in the
pic (in his PJs...lol). He
was a willing model!
Included in the pic are the
$10 Macy's coupons we were
able to track down - 27 in
total! My hubby even
tracked down 5 on his own!
I love this hobby and David
is totally on board as
well! He's so proud of all
my deals (as is the rest of
my family)! Thanks RC!"

 "I
haven't been able to get on RefundCents
as much as usual since I had my daughter
in August, but luckily, I was able to
get on the day the deal at RiteAid for
the Johnson and Johnson products was
posted. I got my coupons together, and
Sophie and I drove to RiteAid right away
since it was late in the week and we
wanted to make sure there were still
products available. We scored all of
these Johnson and Johnson products for
just tax after the Single Check rebate
for $15, plus we'll get another $5 for
the Fall Gift of Savings program. Thanks
RC, without you I would never know about
all these great deals!!" Dana

 "I
am so excited I finally have something
great to share! I got all of these
detergents and fabric softeners for a
total of $31.83 at Walgreens! Thanks to
one of our wonderful readers for cluing
me in on this deal. I went to my 3 local
Walgreens looking at first. I found one
bottle at that time. I went to one just
a little further and hit the jackpot! I
love RefundCents.com!" Jenn C. |
