Most "deals" in a single transaction?

**Telephus44** · 06-11-2008, 10:21 PM

I was just wondering if any people who are as nutty about shopping deals as I am have a record of how many "deals" they can get in a single purchase. I remember reading somewhere when I first got into the hobby that say a sale was a "single", a sale with a coupon was a "double" sale with coupon and rebate was a "triple" - and of course they keep going from there.

Yesterday I purchased Huggies diapers at CVS.
*They were on sale ($7.99 - usually $11.99)
*I had coupons for 2 of the three packs I bought
*I will be getting 2% back in Extracarebucks for using my CVS card (ok, that's like $.50 - but it counts)
*I used $3 in ECB's off my total
*I paid for them using a prepaid debit card I got from a Walgreens rebate
*I am sending them in for a rebate ($5 cash or a CD valued at $16.99 - I'm choosing the CD)

That's like 6 deals at once - maybe 7 if I want to count the boxtops 4 education, but I'm not sure about that.

I haven't kept track over the years, but can anyone beat 6 "deals" in the same purchase? If not, what amazing deal combinations have you come up with?

Also, if anyone's interested - I posted the rebate in the printable rebates forum - it's one you can print online. (On a frugal note - after the rebate, assuming you take the $5 cash, they are cheaper than generic diapers at BJ's)

**** My best effort so far **** (At safeway)
They had a special for cereal 5 boxes for $15.00
Then in the safeway flyer they had a - $10.00
Then I had coupons for 2 cereals off - $1.00
2 cereals off - $1.00
1 cereal off - $ .70
-----------------
so for the following I got 5 boxes $2.30
And this was a brand that we use.

Here is another place you can send in for rebates for diapers and other health stuff.
http://www.caregiversmarketplace.com/FrameSetup.asp

Huggies are included and lots of other stuff.
Just go to eligible products. And then print out the form to send in.
But you do have to have 5 eligible products before you can send in. (saves on postage anyway)

You did a great job.
I think my best deal was.
On Sale
had a man. coupon
store had a promo. coupon for .xx off.
had a rebate for it.
paid with rebate money.

So that would be a 5
Don't think I can do any better than that.
Wish I could shop like that all the time. But Deals like these are few and far between.

You did great!!!

Once when we were building our cabin, I went to purchase the appliances. The refrigerator that I wanted was $2000.00 at Best Buy. I went to Sears that morning and low and behold the same refrigerator was being sold at a great reduction because it had been a floor model. Because I went on that Saturday morning it was 10% off on top of the great sale price. I opened a Sear's account (0% interest) for another 10% off. There was a manufacturer rebate on it at the time for another $200.00 off. By the time I got done I paid a little over $800.00 for the same refrigerator that was costing $2000. at Best Buy. I am extremely proud of that deal!

Oh believe me, I was searching the fine print on that to see if they would take "copies" of receipts - I have a bunch of receipts saved already for the Caregivers Marketplace promo - especially since it also works for one brand of vitamins (can't remember which one) that goes on sale b1g1F every 6 or 8 weeks)!
