Dove wasted

Y'all know there's something in the water at Wags when everything works great 😂 Four stores & 8 transactions and it all worked out exactly as planned & they had everything in stock too. Color me surprised 😂 Here's what I did at Wags this week.




Trans 1

2 x Dove @ $4.99 = $9.98

2 x Dove @ $2.49 = 4.98

2 x Clairol color 20.98

Less Clairol DQ (8.99)

Less RR from last week (4.00)

Less WC (20.00)

Tax 2.16

OOP $5.11

Earned $10 RR (Dove) + $4 WC (Clairol)


Trans 2

2 x Clairol $20.98

Less DQ (8.99)

Less WC (10.00)

Tax 1.26

OOP $3.25

Earned $4 WC

I also earned $7 WYS $40 Boosters per transaction (I used different accounts), which was part of my plan, to combine it with my digital boosters.


Trans 3

2 x Dove @ $4.99 = $9.98

2 x Dove @ $2.49 = 4.98

Less RR (4.00)

Less WC (10.00)

Tax 0.90

OOP $1.86

Earned $10 RR


Trans 4

2 x Dove @ $4.99 = $9.98

2 x Dove @ $2.49 = 4.98

Less RR (3.00)

Less WC (10.00)

Tax 0.90

OOP $2.86

Earned $10 RR



Trans 5

2 x 88 oz Gain detergent $19.98
2 x Dove b/w 14.00
4 x Oral b t/b 12.00
2 x single roll t/p 1.58
Less Gain DQ (3.00)
Less Dove DQ (5.00)
Less Oral B DQ (6.00)
Less RRs (20.00) 
Tax 2.85
OOP $16.41

Earned $13 RR ($5 Gain, $5 Dove, $3 Oral B) + $15 WC ($7 WYS $40 paper booster + $8 WYS $40 digital). 
Total earned: $28.00

Trans 6

2 x Dove @ $4.99 = $9.98

2 x Dove @ $2.49 = 4.98

Less RR (3.00)

Less WC (10.00)

Tax 0.90

OOP $2.86

Earned $10 RR


Transactions 7 & 8 are exactly the same as 5 & 6, because I had the exact same boosters on both accounts. 

I used 2 x $10 Dove shampoo RRs to lower my OOP (can't pay with WC when I use boosters). 

I then combined $3 Oral B RRs with WC for Dove shampoo/conditioner deal to lower my OOP. I could've used the $5 ones, but Wags is tricky when it comes to rewards, so I decided to play it safe. No Wags stress for me this week 😂

I used the single roll t/p as filler items for the RRs. I planned on getting the small Dawn bottles, but my store was out and I didn't want any more candy - which now cost $1.50 each on sale (the small bars). Geez Louise! I didn't want to waste $3 on things we don't need. I will definitely not buy Wags t/p on a regular basis (surprisingly people in my group rave about it). They're only good enough as fillers. If you've ever purchased Sams t/p, you will know why I stick to their brand. Plus their price is good too. 

I was actually disappointed in the Charmin I bought weeks ago. Charmin was our go to brand years ago, but the quality's not the same as before. It's still nice, but the Sams brand is nicer. 

To recap

Number of items purchased: 44

Total Qs used : $45.98

Total Rewards used : $123.00

Total Rewards earned (RR, WC, Ibotta, Fetch): $114.00 - I haven't scanned my receipts to Fetch yet.

Total OOP : $51.62 ($1.17 per item - this includes sales tax)

Total Retail value : $225.64


And that was my fun Wags week. My total OOP is almost the same as I would have paid for just 4 Gain at regular price, so I'm one happy mama. I'm so glad the deals don't look too good next week. The Gain 'buy 2 get $5 RR' deal continues and there's a '$5 WYS $25 P&G items' booster that can be combined with other boosters. I'm not sure if Gain is included in this deal. If it is, it will make a nice triple or quadruple dip. 

I might have to stop shopping at RA. Another local RA has closed and there's hardly any stores left. I'm not going to waste my time searching for existing RA stores. I'm just going to cash out my BC. I'm sad, because it's fun to not have to spend any money at RA. I might have to get back to CVS shopping. We have CVS & Wags on almost every corner. RA definitely couldn't compete with that. 

I'm pooped. There's still tomorrow to hit up Wags for more Dove, but I'm too worn out from shopping and I definitely don't need more stuff. 

Have a wonderful weekend peeps!
