Rite Aid Freebie - OOP vs. Net/Final Price Example

When searching for deals online, you may often see couponing lingo that is difficult to interpret. OOP is a commonly used phrase that stands for "out of pocket." It literally means the money you will be spending out of pocket, although you may end up saving more later through points, rewards, rebates or gift cards. What you actually spend overall after rewards, etc. is called your net or final price.

This week at Rite Aid, Neutrogena soap bars are BOGO 50% off.
In my area, bars are around $3.29 retail.

Buy 1 Neutrogena bar at $3.29
Buy 1 Neutrogena bar $1.64 (BOGO 50%)
= $4.39 OOP

You will get back $5 worth of points wyb 2. You can do this offer twice per Rite Aid card.
=$.07 MM 


So here, the deal is technically a money maker in the long run, but you will be spending $4.93 plus tax out of pocket.

Word on the Street: K-Mart Double Coupon Event Back?

This is just a "heard it through the grapevine" notion at the moment, but word on the street is Kmart will be having a Double Coupon event coming up starting 8/30.

So be on the lookout for more information. I'll post it as I get it.

Typically during these events, your first 5 coupons valued up to $2 (that do not say "do not double") will double... This means a $2 coupon would be worth $4!! This is the ONLY store I know of to do this.

You can only double 5 coupons - so give your highest valued coupons first.

And your overall purchase must be $25 before using your coupons. So considering buying stuff you need anyway if your couponed order doesn't reach this minimum.

What's Cookin' Wednesday: Birthday Shots

Oh. My. God.

My baby brother turned 21 last week?! He's all grown up.

Can you say "awww!" Look at how little he was!

His awkward long-hair, grungy, I'm angry at the world phase.

Not a baby anymore!

To celebrate, I had the family over for a small cookout. But since he turned the big, ol' 2-1, we celebrated with something extra special: pudding shots!

You may have heard of jello-shots before. But I'm not a huge fan of jello to begin with, so adding alcohol doesn't make me like it anymore. But pudding shots? You've got to be careful with those suckers because they taste like an indulgent mousse dessert.

There are so many different combinations of pudding and alcohol that can be used to make pudding shots. I'll leave you with the general recipe and then what I used to make my delicious Rum Chata pudding shots.

General Ingredients:

Small package of instant pudding
8 oz package of Cool whip or whipped topping
1 C milk
1 C alcohol

My Ingredients:

Small package of chocolate pudding
8 oz package of whipped topping
1 C 1% milk
1 C Rum Chata rum cream

Mix the milk, alcohol and pudding together until thoroughly mixed. Fold in whipped topping. Scoop or pour into dixie cups or plastic shot cups. If you want to be fancy, you can scoop the mixture into a piping bag and pipe it into the shot cups so you don't make a mess like me. But I don't mind mess - it makes it look "rustic."

Chill in the fridge for several hours before serving. These are meant to be eaten with a spoon, not swallowed like a shot. Although it was funny to watch my mom try. :-)

Tuesday Travels: The Royal Ripoff of King Richard's Faire

Fall is fast approaching. And with fall comes all sorts of great family-friendly events. King Richard's Faire in Carver, MA is one "family-friendly" event my husband and I checked out a few years ago after years of begging on his part. I thought our experience was worth a Tuesday Travels share.

You'll soon see why I can't in good conscience call this event family-friendly.
