How to Get over $100 in baby products for FREE

I posted the other day about my awesome trip to Rite-Aid, where I scored a ton of free baby products. Now you can get the same deal!

Johnson & Johnson just reset all of their printable coupons. All of the coupons are for a $1 off a particular product and all of them match-up with the great sale at Rite-Aid this week. All J&J products are on sale for $2.99. Use your $1 off coupons and your out-of-pocket price will be $1.99. For each item you will receive $2 +UP Reward. Which means you can score 24 J&J items for FREE!



Here are step by step instructions on how to get this deal.

Step #1: Print two of each of these coupons.

$1/1 J&J Baby Lotion or Oil
$1/1 J&J Baby Shampoo
$1/1 J&J Baby Lotion
$1/1 J&J Baby Shampoo or No More Tangles
$2/2 J&J Newborn Skincare
$2/2 J&J Bedtime Products
$3/3 J&J Newborn Skincare
$1/1 Desitin

Step #2: I am going to assume that you are starting with no +UP Rewards. I have divided this up into three transactions, so your out-of-pocket cost will be $16 + tax, but you will end up with $16 in +UP Rewards. Anyway you do this deal, all your products will end up being FREE. It just depends on whether or not you want to end up with a bunch of +UP Rewards at the end.

Total OOP = $15.92 + tax
$16 +UP Rewards left

Why do you need a filler item?

+UP Rewards cannot be applied towards tax. Because your OOP price for each product will be $1.99 and your +UP Rewards are for $2, you will end up $0.08 short. To make sure you can use all your +UP Rewards, grab a small filler item. I usually choose the cheapest thing I can find (generally a piece of candy or clearance item).

What if they are out of the products you want to buy?

Over the weekend, I had the chance to attend a coupon class given by Amber from Coupon Connections. I learned a lot of great information, but one of the biggest things I learned was about the Rite-Aid rain check policy. If your store is out of the products you need/want to complete this deal, ASK FOR A RAIN CHECK. They will write your rain check for the price AFTER the +UP Reward. Your rain check will state that you are entitled to buy the J&J products for $0.99 each ($2.99 sale price - $2 +UP Reward). You can still use your $1 off coupons to get this items for FREE when they come back in stock. The J&J printable coupons are good until 3/24/2011 so your store has plenty of time to get restocked.
