ShopRite Rolling Cats = BIG Savings!

This week, ShopRite is having an amazing catalina deal. When you buy 10 items from their selected list, you will receive a $10.00 catalina!

Note the bottom left-hand corner.....Sobe Life Water and Lipton Naturals Iced Tea are $1.00 each. That means, when you buy 10 of these you'll receive a $10.00 catalina - which makes them FREE. And who doesn't love free??

There's also another sweet sale going on right now. Saving Star has teamed up with Quaker to offer us a fantastic deal. When you buy $15.00 worth of select Quaker products, you will receive a $5.00 deposit to your account.

I matched this deal up with $1.00/2 Quaker Oatmeal coupons that I printed last week. (They're no longer available.)

So here's a breakdown:

Transaction #1
10 Sobe Life Waters - $1.00 each

Total: $10.70 (w/tax)
Total OOP: $10.70
Received: $10.00 Catalina

I plan to roll this Catalina all week long to stock up on Sobe. My hubby & my kids LOVE this stuff, and it certainly will NOT go to waste in this house!

In case you lost count in the math up there, I've gotten 40 bottles of Sobe so far. (I've only been home an hour, and three bottles have been confiscated by the men of the house!) The total OOP for all 4 transactions is $27.04. But if you subtract the $14.94 that I paid for the oatmeal, my total OOP for the Sobe is $12.10! That evens out to $0.30 per bottle! I cannot believe that.

I plan on rolling the Catalina 2-3x per day, for the next 6 days. (At the end of the Catalina deal, my last $10.00 Catalina will go towards my shopping order next week.) If I manage to get 30 bottles per day with my Catalina rolling, I will have a total of 220 bottles of Sobe (less whatever has been devoured by then) The total breakdown will end up being an amazing $0.11 per bottle.

I'm in utter shock and awe at the moment......
