Rite-Aid Bargains & Razors

Before I start...Let me say -- read to the end to see an awesome deal on Venus razor blades!

This week my best bargains came from Rite-Aid. If you do not use or know about Rite-Aid's Single Check Rebate program, you must get in on this. Each week/month, they will offer Single Check Rebates for certain products. This means that you purchase the product (at full price) and then submit your receipt number online. Then, at the end of the month, they will send you a check for the total amount of money that you earned through the Single Check rebates. For instance, in the month of April, I bought several products that had SCRs. Each time, I entered the receipt on my account and just the other day, I received a check for $8.99. The checks can be used at Rite-Aid or you can cash them.

Here's how it went at Rite-Aid.

Total Amount Paid Out of My Pocket: $12.45
I bought...
1 - Cascade ($2.99 this week): -$0.50 coupon; -$2.99 SCR = Total: $0.50 money maker
2 - Febreze Air Effects (2.99 this week): -.50 coupon = Total $2.49
3 - (2 packs) Gillette Venus Vibrance Razors** ($5.49): -2.00 coupon = Total $3.49
4- NYC Nail Polish ($1.99 each; BOGO1/2 off this week): -BOGO Free Coupon (-$1.99) = Total $0.99 for two
5- Dial Soap-3pk ($2.79 each; BOGO Free): =Total: $2.79 for two 3pks
6- 2 bottle of Hawaiian Tropic Tanning Oil ($10.99 each; BOGO Free): -$1.00 coupon (x2) = 2 for $8.99
I also used a $5 off $25 dollar purchase coupon.
My total was $21.45 including tax. I used my $8.99 SCR from April. I only paid $12.46 out of pocket. WOW, WOW, WOW!!!!!!

Now, the best part is this. Those razors (#3 above) were a HUGE bargain. This was NOT listed in the circular, and I think it may only be at the Westminster Rite-Aid (but I could be wrong). These were on a shelf that had stuff 50% and 75% off. They are normally $10.99 a pack!!!!!!!!!!! They were 50% off which made them $5.49. Then, I happened to have a couple of $2.00 off ANY venus razor cartridges which would make them $3.49 a pack. I was so excited, BUT they aren't the exact kind that I have right now ( I have a Venus Embrace or something). I took the time to read on the back package, and it said it would fit ANY venus razor. WooooHooo...Razors are EXPENSIVE, but NOT these. It may be worth checking out your local Rite-Aid just to see if these are on sale if you use Venus!
