Stockpiling items of the week & a Wags trip

Hi everyone

The deals seem to be rather lackluster lately. I haven't been to RA & CVS in weeks and the grocery stores are no better. Only Wags seem to keep the deals coming, but their deals have been on repeat for 2-3 weeks now & next week looks even worse. 

Stockpiling items of the week

Kroger (starting tomorrow)

18 oz Blueberries $2.99

16 oz Strawberries $2.99

I've been paying over $7 for 2lbs strawberries at Sams and it's not even good strawberries. It's completely white on the inside & tasteless

Wags

Buy 2 Dove or Tresemme, earn $5 RR (Dove is definitely the better deal)

2 x Dove shampoo $8.00

Less DQ (2.00)

OOP $6.00

Earn $5 RR. That's like paying 50c per bottle after rewards

Well, Wags sent me a $10 WYS $30 on Valentines, $7 WYS $40 Boosters & I had a $7 WYS $40 paper booster, so I said "Challenge accepted" 😂 Of course I'm going to take advantage of a free $24 deal 😂, cause I had a bunch of RRs that I needed to redeem. Free money & using RRs sounds like a winner to me. But in typical Wags fashion, things went south. Here's what I did.

Trans 1

4 x Chocolate $23.96

3 x Chocolate B1G2nd 50% off $8.97

4 x Crest t/p 16.00

Less Crest DQ (6.00)

Less RRs (24.00)

Tax 0.96

OOP $19.89

Earned $24 WC ($7 WYS $40, $7 WYS $40, $10 WYS $30) + $6 RR (Crest)

Total earned $30

Ugh, Sigh, Boo, Hiss! The chocolate is clearanced to $4.19 online. I asked the cashier if they price match their online prices and the shift supervisor (a really rude woman who doesn't like me for telling her she's rude - she's been extremely rude to me twice) said no. Wags slogan should be 'Wags, where everyone makes up their own rules'. I've read from other couponers that some of their stores price match online prices. Okay, I was kinda prepared for this. Just like I was prepared for the toothpaste deal. I wanted the $3 Crest, but my store only had 3 and I knew that the $6 DQ wouldn't attach if I mix & matched, so I just bought the $4 toothpaste. No biggie.

What I wasn't prepared for was Ibotta not working on the candy. I was expecting another $3.75 back, but it didn't work on these size bags. The size Ibotta has listed, isn't even available in store. Sigh!

Well, DS's classmates were all happy with their candy, so it's a win in my book. 

Trans 2

2 x Dove conditioner $8.00

Less Dove DQ (2.00)

Less WC (5.00)

Tax 0.48

OOP $1.48

Earned $5 RR

I'm so glad both Dove Qs didn't attach last week, because the deal is much better this week. I still have a Q to use on my other account, so I can earn back my $3 on Fetch. 

I still have a bunch of RRs to use next week. Wags gave me another $7 WYS $40 paper booster, but I'm not biting. I might just do a bunch of Dove deals this week, cause I don't see anything good next week. The toothpaste rewards are much lower, so it's not worth buying then. I have a CVS reward that expires tomorrow too, so I need to redeem that. 

Have a wonderful evening peeps!
