Wags P&G fun this week!

Hi everyone

It's a good week at Wags with the P&G promo (both online & in store) - ends 11/01

In store - Buy $30 select P&G items, earn $10 RR

Online - Buy $60 select P&G items, earn $15 WC

To check qualifying items, go online and click on one of the items I purchased below. Then click on the part that indicates the promo. It will display all items that qualify. 

Please note : The $10 in store RR expires within one day, so please be sure to use it immediately.

I apologise for using the above old pic instead of taking a new one. I currently have a lot on my plate (hence the lack of posts) and didn't bother taking a new one. Here's what I did.

Trans 1

1 x Crest t/p $9.00

1 x Crst t/p 9.00

2 x H&S shampoo 17.98

Less Crest DQ (5.00)

Less Crest DQ (5.00)

Less H&S DQ (3.00)

Less WC (20.00)

Tax 2.16

OOP $5.14

Earned $16 RR ($10 WYS $30 P&G, $3 Crest, $3 H&S). 

Trans 2

1 x Crest t/p $9.00

1 x Crest t/p 9.00

2 x H&S shampoo 17.98

Less Crest DQ (5.00)

Less Crest DQ (5.00)

Less WC (10.00)

Tax 2.16

OOP $18.14

Earned $16 RR ($10 WYS $30 P&G, $3 Crest, $3 H&S). 

Ugh, I was supposed to earn $5 for the Crest, but just noticed that I got $3 instead. Uh oh! Somebody forgot to clip the H&S Q on this account. I didn't have enough WC to redeem on this account, so I only used $10.

The H&S is $7 online, but I paid 8.99. I noticed that others in my coupon group paid the same price that I did. I know that Wags' online prices are often lower that the in store price. Makes no sense

Then I noticed that the P&G RRs expired the next day, so I went back inside to redeem them

Trans 3

3 x Crest t/p $12.00

2 x Colgate t/p 8.00

1 x Dawn 0.99

Less Crest DQ (5.00)

Less Colgate DQ (3.00)

Less RR from Trans 1 (10.00)

Less WC (4.00)

Tax 1.26

OOP $0.25

Earned $9 RR ($5 Crest, $4 Colgate)

I added the Dawn as a filler to attach to the P&G RR. I don't know if it was needed, but it worked out great for me. 

Trans 4

3 x Crest t/p $1.50

2 x Colgate t/p 8.00

1 x Dawn 0.99

Less Crest DQ (4.00)

Less Colgate DQ (3.00)

Less RR from Trans 2 (10.00)

Less WC (3.00)

Tax 1.17

OOP $0.66

Earned $9 RR ($5 Crest, $4 Colgate)

I bought different Crest t/p and wasn't even aware that it was priced lower than the others. I also only had a $4/2 Crest Q clipped (there are several different Qs available)

The online Crest deal is Buy 2, earn $3 WC

The in store Crest deal is Buy 3, earn $5 RR

Breakdown

Number of items purchased: 20

Total Qs used : $38.00

Total Rewards used : $57.00

Total Rewards earned (RR, WC, Ibotta, Fetch): $50.00

Total OOP : $24.19 ($1.21 per item - this includes sales tax)

Total Retail value : $127.90 (excl tax)

I'm also sharing some Pampers deals for my family members with babies. 

ONLINE

Check your accounts for a Spend $45 earn $15 P&G and also Spend $60 earn $15 DQs. Clip both.

Scenario 1

4 x Pampers Diaper packs B1G2nd 50% off $64.64

2 x Pampers wipes B1G2nd 50% off 5.68

2 x Crest t/p 8.00

Less Pampers diapers DQ (3.00)

Less Pampers wipes DQ (1.50) IVC/Store coupon

Less Crest DQ (4.00)

OOP $59.93 + tax

Earn $33 WC ($15 WYS $45 PG, $15 WYS $60, $3 Crest)

The $1.50 wipes coupon is a store coupon/IVC (instant value coupon). It can be used multiple times until it's expiration date. You need to keep clipping the Q on your account after each use. So clip again before shopping in store

or 

Scenario 2

2 x Pampers diapers boxes $71.98

Less diapers IVC/DQ (10.00) It's $5 per box, but will apply to each item

OOP $61.98 + tax

Earn $30 WC ($15 WYS $45 PG, $15 WYS $60)

Then go in store

Trans 1

1 x Pampers Diapers box $35.99

Less Diapers IVC (5.00)

Less $20 WC from online deal (20.00)

OOP $10.99

Earn $10 P&G RR

Trans 2

4 x Pampers wipes B1G2nd 50% off $11.36

2 x Colgate t/p 8.00

Less Pampers IVC (3.00)

Less Colgate DQ (3.00)

Less $10 RR from trans 1 (10.00)

Less WC from online deal (2.00) or $3, depending on register

OOP $1.36

Earn $4 RR (Colgate)

You might want to add a filler item to be on the safe side, so all Qs can attach. Just add a small bottle of 99c Dawn. It works perfectly. You can do the in store transactions over and over (in this order), however, you'll need other fillers in place of the Colgate, because the DQ is one time use. 

Total OOP $72.28 (Scenario 1 + Trans 1 & 2) and you'll still have $15 ($11 WC + $4 RR) in rewards left. You'll have

4 packs diapers

1 box diapers

6 packs wipes

4 toothpaste

$72.28 - $15 rewards = $57.28 for 15 items. I don't like to count my rewards twice, so I count it when I spend my rewards. However, I wanted to give you an idea of what everything would cost

Happy shopping peeps! 🛒

Frugal Friday 10/17/25

Hi everyone

I don't really have much to report this week. All I did was some grocery shopping and then stayed home the rest of the week. Here's a few things that I did this week.

• Purchased a pants with a Birthday reward and paid $2.86 OOP.
  
  Then, today, they sent me another $10 reward (valid today only) and I still had a free shipping reward. So I ordered the same pants in a different color and paid $5.30 OOP
  
  
• Redeemed a reward and paid $10.60 for a pants at Chicos and still have a Birthday reward to redeem (all amounts include sales tax).
  
  
• Ordered a free bracelet with reward at WHBM. Their styles and service have deteriorated so much that I couldn't find anything I liked. I decided to not waste that $30 and just purchased the bracelet instead.
  
  
• Received another surprise reward this week, so I purchased BF a designer item at over 90% off. 
  
  
• Found organic chicken breast marked down 20% at Sams and bought 2 packs. 
  
  
• Stopped at Meijer for Sargento cheese slices (on sale for $1.99 this week) and also purchased my favorite face cleanser (I can only find it at Meijer & Wags, but Meijer's cost $3 less than Wags. I purchase some every time Meijer has it on sale). The cleanser is Buy 2, save $5 instantly. When I checked my account afterwards, I saw that I earned $5 Mperks rewards for the cheese & cleanser. I forgot about those Mperks deals and was only aware of the beauty one. I was pleasantly surprised to see that I'm close to more rewards for other items (it tracks). With the instant discount and MP reward, the cleanser ended up saving me 50% total. Score!
  
  
• Picked up at quarter in the Aldi parking lot. 
  
  

That's about it for me for the week. I didn't even go to the drugstores. I think I'm outshopped 😂

Have a wonderful weekend peeps!

This week at Wags

Edit : I don't know why my spacing's so weird and why it changed the font in the last paragraph. 

Hi everyone

Wags was fun this week, despite me messing up some things. I haven't done any drugstore shopping in about 2 months and it definitely showed with the mistakes I made. Here's what I did

Trans 1

2 x Head & shoulders $18.00

2 x Crest t/p 9.00

2 x Garnier styler 8.98

Less H&S DQ (3.00)

Less Crest DQ (10.00)

Less Garnier DQ (7.00)

Less WC (20.00)

Tax 2.46

OOP $3.44

Earned $20 RR ($10 WYS $30 P&G, $3 H&S, $3 Crest, $4 Garnier)

Trans 2

2 x Head & shoulders $18.00

2 x Crest t/p 9.00

2 x Garnier styler 8.98

Less H&S DQ (3.00)

Less Crest DQ (10.00)

Less WC (20.00)

Tax 2.46

OOP $10.44

Earned $20 RR ($10 WYS $30 P&G, $3 H&S, $3 Crest, $4 Garnier) + $7 WC (see below) = $27

I purchased the same items as above, except my Garnier Q didn't deduct. I contacted CS when I got home and they added the $7 WC to my account. I still have the Q available to use tomorrow. It's a MM deal if I purchase just the Garnier.

 

Trans 3

2 x 2ct Bounty p/t $9.98

2 x Gain 9.98

2 x Garnier shampoo 8.98

Less P&G RR from trans 1 (10.00)

Less Gain DQ (1.55)

Less Gain DQ (1.50)

Less Garnier DQ (3.00)

Less WC (10.00)

Tax 1.74

OOP $4.63

Earned $4 RR (Garnier)

Trans 4

2 x 2ct Bounty p/t $9.98

2 x Dawn 9.98

2 x Garnier shampoo 8.98

Less P&G RR from trans 2 (10.00)

Less WC (20.00)

Tax 1.74

OOP 0.68

Earned $4 RR (Garnier)

I needed to use those P&G RRs, because they expire within 2 days. I didn't want Gain, but the P&G deal only works on select items, so I opted for the Gain & Bounty. 

The 2nd store didn't have any Gain, so I purchased Dawn instead. However, I messed up by adding the Garnier. I initially added it so I could use $10 WC, because the Gain Qs took my total to below that amount. The Dawn, on the other hand, didn't have any Qs so the Garnier wasn't needed. Ugh 🤦 I also didn't have the Garnier Q clipped on this account, so I ended up buying 'Expensive' (in my book 😂) shampoo that we don't even need. Double ugh 🤦

But wait... there's more. When I went through all my RRs, I realised that I never received RRs for the Buy 4 P&G deal (trans 3 & 4). After checking the ad, I realised that the Bounty is a completely separate deal. Triple ugh 🤦So I lost out on another $9. How many ughs are we on now? 😂

Breakdown:

Number of items purchased: 24

Total Qs used : $39.05

Total Rewards used : $90.00

Total Rewards earned (RR, WC, Ibotta, Fetch): $55.00 + $15 (PG) = $70

Total OOP : $18.75 ($0.78 per item - this includes sales tax)

Total Retail value : $195.96 (excl tax)

I felt like such a rookie this week, but realised that I didn't do too badly. I sure put those rewards to good use 😂

Have a wonderful weekend peeps!
