Rite Aid tonight

Laugh if you must. I have 3 cats and I will be lucky if this lasts 6 weeks. This represents $51.54 retail. I paid $9.77. That is less than 20%. I am not going to go on and on. Just to say this deal is posted and on the front page of their circular. The spin brushes are awesome stocking stuffers.

As always, if you are not confident about how to utilize drug store rewards, take a class, refer a friend, blah blah... LOL!! The bottom line is that it is cheaper to be ahead of the curve than to keep shopping week to week. The proof is right here.

Throwing away money.

Do not overlook free money in your home. Many people throw things away like broken toasters, old extension cords or adapters, speaker wire etc... These things have metal value believe it or not. The copper in cords is big bucks when stripped down. Now maybe that is too time consuming for some people, and I don’t blame you at all. But the metal and wires are still worth storing, and cashing in as scrap metal (light iron) along with all your vegetable cans and such. They will strip the wires at the steel plant. Although I do want to say that Copper is well over $3 per lb. If you kept this metal in your garage and redeem it twice a year, I bet you would make $50 each time. IDK about you, but it is worth the trip to me.

If you are a soda drinker, remember to crush your cans and separate them from the steel. Aluminum is worth about $1 per pound vs. light iron at $.08 lb.

CVS tonight

Feel free to do the math as always. This is $40.44 retail value. And you know how expensive pain relievers are. Even the generic ones aren’t cheap. I paid $8.70 total. So I don’t need any pain relievers any time soon.

I started out with $10 EB’s from CVS (this is their rewards $$) and got the lip gloss and candy.  You can see that I paid $3.97 for that. Then with my $10.99 in rewards, I got Excedrin galore. I pretty much have one for every different kind of pain a body can conjure. And after the $4.73 OOP for what is almost $25 in pain relievers, I still have $10 in new EB’s for next week.

This is the importance of banking coupons until the sale is right. I also banked a $5 Excedrin coupon from the Magic Red Machine. Had it not been for that additional savings, I would not have purchased this deal.

So let’s do an equation together, shall we? What is my percentage savings? Did you come up with 78.5%? Me too. 

Vista Print Freebies

I love Vista Print!!

For those of you thinking about starting your own business, now is the time to cash in on some serious Vista Print freebies, all for the cost of shipping. Think about your logo, they have a ton of templates to choose from. Or if you choose your own picture, there will be an approximate $3.50 charge for the download, but comparably speaking, this is a great investment.  For approximately $30 in shipping costs, you can get:

250 business cards

1 wall calendar

1 flip note book

1 T-shirt

10 personalized invitations

1 tote bag

There would be an additional fee per unit for your own picture as opposed to their template. But even at $4 each, it would be another $24. That is an approximate $50 investment to look serious and professional about yourself and your business. And of course it would remain on file so you can wait for the next sale to refurbish your stock. Extremely small price to pay. Have I mentioned, I LOVE VISTA PRINT?!
