Finally got my oatmeal!

October 9th, 2006 at 09:51 pm

I checked the RiteAid website and, as expected, the oatmeal went "on sale". Still $3/box (which ain't on sale in my book - I can usually get it for $1 or $2). But combined with my coupons and rebates I went for it.

I bought 5 boxes @ $3 = $15. I had $3 in coupons, bringing it down to $12. RiteAid will give me a $4 rebate, and I have a mail-in rebate from Quaker for $5. Net result: 5 boxes for $3 = $.60/box or $.06/packet. Ain't bad. I also picked up Electrasol dishwasher detergent for $.49 after rebate. Worth the trip.

I also hit CVS. They have a bunch of far items this month. You get the credit in the form of "ExtraBucks" that can be used in CVS. Not sure how I'll like this program, but I figured it'd be worth a try.

    I was trying to make that rebate work for me too, but I couldn't get the price down far enough. I didn't know about the Quaker rebate too - that might have persuaded me to buy it. Oh well - I still get a box of oatmeal for $1 at the Dollar General, so I can stock up there while I wait for the next big sale (and stockpile some better coupons!).
