So two days ago I decided to go hunting for some neutrogena lip balm, travel makeup remover wipes and aveeno lotion etc. for the bonus points!
I went to 5 SDM's :) Now some would call that obsessive, I would call it determined!
1st SDM;
- Bought $150 gift card for this mission PLUS this weekend for covergirl and taxes for the redemption etc.
Total Points: 1500
2nd SDM;
- None of the items I wanted were on for the sale price and they were out of stock.
3rd SDM;
I go in and look around, they don't have the bonus point items but their clearance has a bunch of stuff I want!!
- 3x Herbashine hairdye with bonus hairspray @ $2.50 each!!! :shock: I ran back out to my car to grab the coupons for $3 off I knew I had! = +$1.50 because she rang in the full $3 each.
(I had to go back in because 2 of them rang in at 11.99!!! But the beauty counter girl redid it for me with the clearance price. She thought I was a very smart shopper!)
- 2 X Huge Herbal Essence Conditioners @ $2 each = $4
- 2 X Natural Instincts hair dye with bonus herbal essence shampoos @ $3 each - $3 WUB2 = $3
- 3 X Vitamin Water @ 3/$5 + 500 Bonus Points = $5
Total OOP: $7.78 (Don't know why! - Should have been more I think lol But the receipts look right)
Total Points: 400 + 500 BP - She didn't scan my optimum card for the return. = 900 points
4th SDM;
- 4 X Neutrogena lip balm @ 3.29 each + 2000 BP each - 4 X $3 J&J = $1.16
- 6 X Neurtrogena Makeup Wipes @ 2.19 each + 2000 BP each = $13.14 (I go through these like crazy anyways! So I thought I'd stock up)
- 2 X John Freda Styling Gel @ 2.99 each + 500 BP each - $5 WUB2 = $.98
Total OOP: $19.48
Total Points: 330 + 20,000 BP + 1000 BP = 21,330 Points!
5th SDM;
- 2 X Netrogena Lip Balm @ $3.29 each +2000 BP each - 2 X $3 J&J = $.58
- 1 X Aveeno Travel Size lotion @ $4.49 + 2000 BP each - $3 J&J = $1.49
Total OOP: $2.46
Total Points: 110 + 6000 BP = 6110 Points!
Grand Totals:
Total Points: 29,840 !! :shock: Based on my math that is approximately $62 in points, on a bonus redemption :)
Total OOP: $29.72 (Okay technically it is $150 OOP cause of the GC's, but for this purpose those don't count because they will get me more points this weekend! haha)
PLUS it got me to PLUS status :)
