Omg, my head IS spinning! Thank you for the hard work that you do!
Just gonna cut and paste from my blog to save time.
Ok, when it comes to these Olay rebates, I am like a kid left in a candy store, I start looking for the best deal and the best possible money maker to get the thing over with. Yeah, I know it goes for a month, but I want to get my stuff and be done with it. Might another deal come around that is better? Well yeah, but using coupons is like playing poker and I am ALL IN on this hand!
Ok, so keep up with me here because this is gonna really leave your head spinning:
You have to spend $50 to get back $20 on the Olay rebate I just posted about here.
Now, I have come up with three ways to run this deal, one for those that are doing the CVS Black Friday Herbal Essence Deal and two for those who are not. The best method for those NOT running the CVS deal will require 5 coupons of the coupon inserts this weekend and 2 transactions at Kroger(due to the 4 like coupon limit on P&G coupons)
First, I will list the two non-CVS ways, then I will list the CVS.
Scenario #1 Kroger only:
Purchase 5 Secret deodorant $2.29 (tag says good until 11-30) = $11.45
Purchase 5 Olay body wash $5 each(good until 12-24) = $25
Purchase 5 Olay hand and body lotion $5 each (also until 12-24) = $25
= $61.45
- 5 .50 Secret deodorant coupons 11-28 P&G (double)
-5 $5 off Olay body wash wyb Secret 10-31 P&G
-5 Free Olay hand and body lotion wyb Olay body wash 11-28 P&G
=$6.45 oop and send for $20 rebate
$13.55 MONEY MAKER and you have 5 deod, 5 bodywashes and 5 lotions!
Scenario #2 Kroger Only:
Purchase 3 Secret deodorant $2.29 (tag says good until 11-30) = $6.87
Purchase 1 Secret Platinum $4.39
Purchase 4 Olay body wash $5 each(good until 12-24) = $20
Purchase 4 Olay hand and body lotion $5 each (also until 12-24) = $20
= $51.26
- 4 .50 Secret deodorant coupons 11-28 P&G (double)
-4 $5 off Olay body wash wyb Secret 10-31 P&G
-4 Free Olay hand and body lotion wyb Olay body wash 11-28 P&G
=$7.26 oop and send for $20 rebate
$12.74 MONEY MAKER and you have 4 deod, 4 bodywashes and 4 lotions!
Scenario #3 CVS and Kroger:
CVS on black friday Purchase 2 herbal Essence Hydralicious $3.99 each
-$2 Clairol family coupon 10-31 P&G
= Cost $3.98 oop but get back $7.98 in ECBs for a profit of $4
Scenario #2 Kroger only:
Purchase 4 Secret deodorant $2.29 (tag says good until 11-30) = $9.16
Purchase 4 Olay body wash $5 each(good until 12-24) = $20
Purchase 4 Olay hand and body lotion $5 each (also until 12-24) = $20
= $49.16 (but you have your $7.98 from CVS receipt)
- 4 .50 Secret deodorant coupons 11-28 P&G (double)
-4 $5 off Olay body wash wyb Secret 10-31 P&G
-4 Free Olay hand and body lotion wyb Olay body wash 11-28 P&G
=$5.16 oop and send for $20 rebate
$14.84 MONEY MAKER from Kroger piece and $4 from CVS so $18.84 Money Maker and you have
4 deod, 4 body wash, 4 lotions and 2 Shampoo/conditioners
*This is legit piggybacking because you are not using 2 coupons on any one item
You use the .50 on the Secret deod, the $5 Olay bodywash coupon is similar to using a bogo coupon with a $1 off the one you are paying for, and the free body lotion wyb body wash is like another bogo and using a coupon on the one you are paying for.

Omg, my head IS spinning! Thank you for the hard work that you do!

And for those worried, I ran this by the admin here and they agree everything appears in order and it is PROPER piggybacking![]()

I'll take it, and just in time because I need lotion. Thanks!
I believe CVS is having Olay for $6.79 get 2 ECB on 11/28. So if you have more than 1 card, you might be able to swing the whole thing at CVS.
Bummer, I am out of the $5 Qs from the 10/31 PG so I will need to try and see if there is a alternate scenario that will work.
I hope I can post this since it could be used in combination with the Kroger deals above.
Walgreens Black Friday Deals 11/25-27:
Olay body wash 10 oz $3.49 = $2.50 RR

Final Cost FREE!
Herbal Essences hair care 5.7-12 oz $2.49 = $1.50 RR
Use the $1/1 (or $0.50/1) coupon found in 11/14 RP or use the $2/1 coupon in the 10/31 PG

Get Back a $1.50 RR
Final Cost as low as FREE + a $1 moneymaker!
I hope the kroger deal works w/o beeping (except for the price of the lotion!). I am up to $48.86 from the freebies at walgreens and cvs, and I have 2 of the $5 off olay when you buy secret coupons left. The olay bodywash smells wonderful, I am so looking forward to giving your scenario a shot once I get my Sunday papers!:) Thanks for sharing!:)
couponsarethenewmoney- I used the $5 off olay when you buy secret on the walgreens deal you mentioned- no beeps, it scanned perfectly. I did it 3 times, spread out over 3 days.
