Garnier is giving $10 wyb 3. I bought 4 cleansers and 2 bb creams. I got 2 $10 ups and received 2 extra $5 ups. The $5 ups are for the spend 15 Maybelline/Garnier and it says "good 3/27 thru 5/16."

4 Cleansers/Wipes 6.29 + 6.29 + 3.14 + 3.14 = 18.86
2 BB creams 12.99 + 6.49 = 19.48
I used two $2/1 Any Garnier Moisturizer & four $1/1 Any Skincare Products(1/08 RP exp. 4/08)
01/08 RP and 3/11 RP have the 2/1 moisturizer 1/08, 2/05, 3/11, and 3/18 RP also has the coupons.

18.86+19.48-8.00=30.34 get 30 in ups =.34 oop

I just read about the new coupon policy regarding the b1g50% and my store did not say anything about this during my transaction so YMMV.

Sounds like you got a weekly combined with a monthly. Can you list what you bought and what it cost?

[salinascali]

yes please list!

[Jewels13]

can u give us a break down of your transaction? And BTW..that BB cream is fantastic..

[dacrew55]

There is also $2/1 Any Garnier Moisturizer & $1/1 ANy Skincare Products.

This is definately Money maker if is double dipping.

Please list detail if you can. Thanks in advance.

I'm interested too. I may have to start shopping Rite Aid.

Updated my post with my transaction. I remember seeing other moisturizers that were $8 something. If you substitute that for the BB creams in my scenario this could be a $7 give or take MM.

[portugeseprincess17]

I'm so gonna try this! I've been really wanting to try the bb cream

[mochamomof5]

What does bb stand for?

[portugeseprincess17]

I'm pretty sure it stands for beauty balm

[lviars50]

Going out to try this in a little while...thank you

[heartmomo]

Does the gold discount apply to this scenario ?

[JennaGuzman]

So looking forward to this deal after work! Thanks for sharing

The Garnier products are on sale this week, Buy One Get One 50% off, which would trump your discount, when you buy in even numbers. If you were to buy an odd number of items, you would get the discount on one item only.

The weekly UP is get $10 when you buy 3 items in one transaction. She got 2 of those for buying 6 items.

The monthly Up is get $5 when you spend $15. She got 2 of those for spending $30.

If you were to substitute the cheaper moisterizers, you would spend less, but not earn the second $5 UP.

wouldn't this work?

4 Cleansers/Wipes 6.29 + 6.29 + 3.14 + 3.14 = 18.86
4 moisturizers 7.99 + 7.99 + 3.99 + 3.99 = ~ $23.96
- (4) $2/1 Any Garnier Moisturizer
- (4) $1/1 Any Skincare Products(1/08 RP exp. 4/08)
01/08 RP and 3/11 RP have the 2/1 moisturizer 1/08, 2/05, 3/11, and 3/18 RP also has the coupons.

18.86+23.96 -12 =30.82 get 30 in ups =.82 oop

Sure, it just wouldn't be the $7 MM suggested above!

[mcgallicher]

Here's another scenario:

Buy 1 Moisture Rescue - $8.49
Buy 2 Daily Exfoliators - $5.49 + $3.14
Total $16.66

Use a $2 mfr q fm RP 1/8 and two $1.00 mfr qs fm RP 2/5
Pay $12.66

Get back $15 ($10 Up and $5 UP)

Thanks ! Sorry one more question - which is the better deal? Buying all 6 in one transaction or doing the 3 in one trans w/ the gold discount ?

[Sher71481]

omg i hope they have some of this Friday!!!

[srcga]

Thanks, just did a run to my Riteaid and no issues. Just make sure you get 3 products that total at least $15 and you are good to go .. I got rid of some UPs too, can't argue with the price! Girlfriend should be happy with all of the products

I would think buying 6 on one transaction would be better because then you're getting 3 at 50% off instead of 2

While that is true, I didn't have any UPs to start this week, so I preferred to buy 3, get the $15 in UPs and them use them to buy 3 more.

If you don't mind dishing out $30 of your own money up front, then 6 at once is prob better.

This is what I ended up getting today:
Garnier Nutritioniste (4.5 oz) Moisture Rescue - $8.49
Garnier Refreshing Remover Cleansing Towelettes - $5.03 and $3.14
Total: 16.66 + tax

Ack! Just realized I got my 20% discount on the towlettes, which were $6.29 shelf price, and not the moisturizer. I had expected to pay $6.79 for moisturizer with gold, plus $6.29 and $3.14 for towelettes = $16.22. Oh, well, that was a 44 cent lesson!

Used $4 in coupons, total came to $12.66 + tax
Paid with $5 Up from the Listerine deal and $3.xx that I had on a gift card.
My actual oop was $5.34 and got back $15 in UPs.

For lowest total approaching $15, you want 3 identical items with shelf price of at least $6.59.
I'm not good at doing these types of calculations on the fly in the store and we needed both the towlettes and the moisturizer!

I bought 4 garnier moisturizers on Monday and only got the one ups and total was around $19. What did I miss?

You only got the weekly UP reward.

The monthly one for April (Get $5 wyb $15 worth of Garnier/Maybelline) started mid-week - the 28th?
