Total from both transactions:

Will get back $25 Single Check Rebate #24 Making my total cost FREE! Plus a $15.74 moneymaker! Plus I'll probably auction off the yours and mine on e-bay making this a bigger money maker.

As I mentioned in my last Rite Aid post, I shop for my mom and grandma since they aren't Rite Aid shoppers. If you're just shopping for yourself you can only do one Single Check Rebate per household.

Johnson and Johnson for FREE, $16.41 Money Maker!

So the Rite Aid I typically go to now knows me and they tend to believe me when I tell them things like, "yes, you can use a bogo coupon on a bogo 1/2 off". If in doubt they refer to the coupon policy that I gave them. The other one about 3 blocks from the first, not so much. I have to fight with them (in a nice way, usually) constantly. So much so, I almost dread stepping in the store. In any case between the two stores I was able to get everything I needed.

Rite Aid Deals + Johnson and Johnson Rebate Scenerio:Updated

This afternoon I went to Rite Aid to get my products for the Johnson and Johnson Rebate. Most folks already know about the rebate, $10 back on a $30 purchase of select Johnson and Johnson Products here.

Here's what I bought:

1 Lubriderm Lotion 6oz $4.69
2 Clean and Clear Morning Burst $12.98 (added bonus, they had an attached makeup remover!)
1 Aveno Nourish Shampoo $6.99

Updated to Add: There seems to be debate on whether the rebate's "$30 worth of product" wording means before or after coupons see Southern Saver's post here. You might want to skip this one, unless you need the product, or don't mind the gamble. Note: the rebate form and all manufacturer coupons can be found here

Total After Coupons $15.16
Total After Rite Aid Single Check Rebate $13.16!
Total After $10 rebate $3.16!

Was hoping to break even and get everything for free, but $1.26 isn't so bad (considering $2.01 of my total was tax, and I couldn't find a coupon for it...yet :)
