So you all know that I love a good deal...curb items, garage sales, clearance sales, couponing...the list goes on. Speaking of COUPONING, I hit the greatest deal this week, I just had to share (I'm hoping to inspire my sister, Sienna, to get into couponing:) Anyway, if you have never done this before, it can be a little confusing so I'm going to try to walk you through it step by step. And as a sidenote, Megan started a blog a little while ago where she posts great deals (such as the one I'm going to tell you about) and how you go about doing it. You can find that blog HERE. I know it hasn't been updated for a little while, but hopefully in the fall when life is more normal she can get back into it and I can actually help her with it a little bit this time! So check it frequently and be sure to leave comments on how excited you are about the deals you are getting! Anyway, back to this sweet deal...This deal is on Huggies Diapers
and you have to go to Rite Aid to get it.
So the first step is GET YOUR COUPONS. You want to try to have 5 coupons to get the best deal, but if you can't get all of those it still is good deal and you need to do it. I get the Huggies mailer, so I was able to get coupons there, as well as in the Sunday newspaper. This week's paper has a coupons for $1.50 off of regular diapers, $3 off of Pure and Natural Diapers, and $2 off of GoodNite diapers (I was able to use all of those coupons for this deal, even though I was only buying regular diapers) If you don't get the Sunday paper or the Huggies mailer, you can print a couple of Huggies coupons HERE Now these are for the GoodNites diapers, but like I said earlier, the coupons still worked fine when I went to the store...beware though if you get a Nazi cashier who really checks the coupons out (you know the one Megan:).
The second step is to print $5 off of a $25 Rite Aid coupon, which can be found HERE.
The third step is to go shopping.....
Here are the deals Rite Aid is offering for the Diapers (only thru July 25th, so you better hurry!)
* $2 Rebate on any Mega pack of Huggies diapers, Pull-ups, or Goodnites
*Purchase 5 packs of Huggies diapers and get a voucher for a 6th package FREE (voucher is valued at $11.49)
* Giftcard for $25 when you spend $50 in participating Kimberly-Clark products (which Huggies are) There are tons of other products that qualify too, so if you don't want to do the diaper deal, but still want to do this giftcard deal, go HERE and scroll down to Rebate #61 for a list of participating products.
So this is what I did...I bought ONE Mega pack of diapers, and FOUR Jumbo packs, used my coupons (which totaled $11 in savings--you could actually save $15 with coupons if you were able get and use all of the $3 off coupons), and used my $5 off of $25 Rite Aid coupon (side-note here...you might be able to buy the diapers in two separate transactions which would make it so you could use 2 of the $5 off Rite Aid coupons, I didn't do it that way, so I'm not sure, but it's definitely worth a try! Does that make sense?). Then I came home and entered my receipt into Rite Aid's Single Check Rebate system, which is the fourth step (HERE is the link to that and you will need to register if you have never done it before). So pretty soon, I will get my $2 rebate, my voucher for the free pack of diapers, and my $25 Rite Aid giftcard. After you deduct all of these things, I think I figured I ended up getting my 6 packages of diapers (approximately 135 diapers, I bought size 4)for about $19, or $.14 a diaper. If you are able to ring it up in two separate transactions, and use two of the $5 off of $25 purchase(One website said that you can do it that way,and I don't see why you couldn't) you could get them for about $.10 a diaper, which is so great!! So now is the time to stock up on diapers!! Like I said earlier, you have to do this before the 25th of July (your receipt has to be entered before then too) so get going on it!! The fifth step is to leave me a comment if you actually do this...or if this is way too complicated to understand!! Sometimes I'm not sure I'm the best at explaining things even though it all totally makes sense in my head! And the final step is to go shopping for some clothes and/or accessories and use all that money you just saved to get something you really love:)
