Physicians Formula and Revlon Haul, $30 of product for less than $8

I'm supposed to be on a no/low-buy but since I was running low on my staple eyeliner and wanted to try a Revlon Lip Butter, I did a mini haul at Rite Aid. I want to show how I managed to get $30 worth of products for $7.92. Had I purchased everything full price, it would have been $31.67 after tax and since I paid $7.92, I got a 75% discount. The promotions that enabled me to get such a great deal end this week so I wanted to post this as soon as I could so everyone could take part in it!


Here's how I did it:

This week, all Revlon Lip, Nail, Eye, and Beauty Tools are 40% off and if you bought one of these products, you got $2 in Up+ Rewards. Physicians Formula is 40% off and if you spent $15 after the discount, you got $4 in Up+ Rewards.

Transaction One

I bought a Revlon Lip Butter in Candy Apple for 40% off, lowering the original price for $4.49. I then used a coupon for $2 off any Revlon Lip Product. After tax, I paid $2.85 and received $2 in Up+ Rewards.

I then used that in my second transaction. Don't be afraid to split up your purchase into two transactions to get a better deal. I've NEVER gotten any flack from the cashier about it and I've done three transactions once and still didn't get any trouble.

Transaction Two

I bought a Physicians Formula Eye Booster Liner in Deep Brown that was one of the promotional duo packs with a bonus full size Eye Booster Lash Boosting Serum. I got that for 40% off, lowering the original price for $6.57 and I used the $2 in Up+ Rewards that I just got from my previous purchase. After tax, I paid $5.08.

I paid $7.92 for three products that would total $31.67. Not bad eh? The Revlon Lip Butter alone retails for over $8 after tax so it was a pretty sweet deal.

Do you have any extreme couponing stories?
