Ok, when it comes to these Olay rebates, I am like a kid left in a candy store, I start looking for the best deal and the best possible money maker to get the thing over with. Yeah, I know it goes for a month, but I want to get my stuff and be done with it. Might another deal come around that is better? Well yeah, but using coupons is like playing poker and I am ALL IN on this hand!
Ok, so keep up with me here because this is gonna really leave your head spinning:
You have to spend $50 to get back $20 on the Olay rebate I just posted about here.
Now, I have come up with three ways to run this deal, one for those that are doing the CVS Black Friday Herbal Essence Deal and two for those who are not. The best method for those NOT running the CVS deal will require 5 coupons of the coupon inserts this weekend and 2 transactions at Kroger(due to the 4 like coupon limit on P&G coupons)
First, I will list the two non-CVS ways, then I will list the CVS.
Scenario #1 Kroger only:
Purchase 5 Secret deodorant $2.29 (tag says good until 11-30) = $11.45
Purchase 5 Olay body wash $5 each(good until 12-24) = $25
Purchase 5 Olay hand and body lotion $5 each (also until 12-24) = $25
= $61.45
- 5 .50 Secret deodorant coupons 11-28 P&G (double)
-5 $5 off Olay body wash wyb Secret 10-31 P&G
-5 Free Olay hand and body lotion wyb Olay body wash 11-28 P&G
=$6.45 oop and send for $20 rebate
$13.55 MONEY MAKER and you have 5 deod, 5 bodywashes and 5 lotions!
Scenario #2 Kroger Only:
Purchase 3 Secret deodorant $2.29 (tag says good until 11-30) = $6.87
Purchase 1 Secret Platinum $4.39
Purchase 4 Olay body wash $5 each(good until 12-24) = $20
Purchase 4 Olay hand and body lotion $5 each (also until 12-24) = $20
= $51.26

-4 $5 off Olay body wash wyb Secret 10-31 P&G

Scenario #3 CVS and Kroger:
CVS on black friday Purchase 2 herbal Essence Hydralicious $3.99 each
-$2 Clairol family coupon 10-31 P&G
= Cost $3.98 oop but get back $7.98 in ECBs for a profit of $4
Scenario #2 Kroger only:
Purchase 4 Secret deodorant $2.29 (tag says good until 11-30) = $9.16
Purchase 4 Olay body wash $5 each(good until 12-24) = $20
Purchase 4 Olay hand and body lotion $5 each (also until 12-24) = $20
= $49.16 (but you have your $7.98 from CVS receipt)
- 4 .50 Secret deodorant coupons 11-28 P&G (double)
-4 $5 off Olay body wash wyb Secret 10-31 P&G
-4 Free Olay hand and body lotion wyb Olay body wash 11-28 P&G
=$5.16 oop and send for $20 rebate
$14.84 MONEY MAKER from Kroger piece and $4 from CVS so $18.84 Money Maker and you have
4 deod, 4 body wash, 4 lotions and 2 Shampoo/conditioners
*This is legit piggybacking because you are not using 2 coupons on any one item
You use the .50 on the Secret deod, the $5 Olay bodywash coupon is similar to using a bogo coupon with a $1 off the one you are paying for, and the free body lotion wyb body wash is like another bogo and using a coupon on the one you are paying for.

I prefer going to Walmart, getting 9 travel size Secret deos and 9 body washes and using 9 of the $5 off Olay wyb Secret coupons. It's usually a hassle to justify a bogo coupon AND a $ off coupon for me.
Will Kroger also accept e-coupons and paper coupons in the above scenario?
