Revlon Cosmetics Deal at Rite Aid!

Can you believe I got all this for only $.32!?!

Check out how this great deal came together.  I needed 4 copies of the newspaper coupons for these items, and if I had more copies I could have actually done this whole deal a second time.  The details:

Revlon face and lip cosmetics were on sale this week buy one get one half price.  I also had $5 off coupons for any face item.  I chose this blush, which retails for $9.79, and got the second one for $4.89.  After my 2 $5 coupons my total was $4.68.  I did this scenario twice.

I then added 4 Wet N Wild nail polish to my order.  These are $.99, and on sale buy one get half price as well.  I had 4 coupons for $1, which I expected they would price adjust because 2 items were only $.49.  Usually when the value of the coupon is more than the value of the product the register will beep and the cashier will manually enter a reduced amount.  But these coupons all went through, so I actually made $1.04 in overage.  This deducted $.52 from each pair of blush, making each pair only $4.16.  I then used $4 in rewards for each set, so my subtotal before tax was $.16 each pair!

Best part - I made $8 in rewards!  When you spend $10 on Revlon (before coupons!) you earn a $4 reward.  I spent over $20 before coupons, so I got 2.  These replaced the rewards I used for the purchase perfectly:)  Hooray!
