This is a HUGE list and honestly items can be changed around and around. My son uses AXE and I use the Slim Fast bars, so of course I included those. I looked kinda at everything and what coupons were out there to use. Mix and match and get your totals as close to $20 as possible. Having the $7 come off should not affect your $25, BUT Rainbow’s system keeps changing. There is no guarantee at all that coupons will double after the $7 instantly comes off. The coupons have doubled in the past, but that is all I can offer.

These next ones are for the Buy 10 items, get $5 off instantly. They do work nice with some of the above ones that can still take 5 coupons that need to be doubled or you would have to find filler items to get to $25. Mix and match the deals to get to 10 items, but I did a few for you.

Thanks for putting all of these deals together! I am on your site everyday checking for new ones.
Thanks again for all that you do!!!

You’re welcome.
If I do $40 of Unilever products in the same transaction, will it take off $14 ($7 for each $20)? Or do I have to do them separately?
It states Limit one per transaction.
Here is the scenario I came up with, assuming that the Suave lotion coupons work:
2 Suave Lotions @$2.50 – $4 ( 2 – $1 coupons doubled)= $1
2 Vaseline Lotions @$2.50 – $4 ( 2 – $1 coupons doubled)= $1
2 Tresemme @ $3.50 each – BOGO coupon = $3.50
1 Suave Body Wash @$1.75 – $1 (.50 coupon doubled) = $0.75
1 Suave Body Wash @$1.75 – $0.50 = $1.25
$7.50 – $7 instant = $0.50/ 8 items $0.06 Each
Actually, I just realized if you subbed in the Suave deodorant for the body wash:
2 Suave Lotions @$2.50 – $4 ( 2 – $1 coupons doubled)= $1
2 Vaseline Lotions @$2.50 – $4 ( 2 – $1 coupons doubled)= $1
2 Tresemme @ $3.50 each – BOGO coupon = $3.50
1 Suave Deodorant @$1.75 – $1.50 (.75 coupon doubled) = $0.25
1 Suave Deodorant @$1.75 – $0.75 = $1.00
$6.75 – $7 instant =$0.25 OVERAGE!
I’m not sure how an overage would work in the situation, since I know Rainbow is pretty strict about not having overages, but at any rate, you should spend nothing in this scenario.
I did the math on these several times, and they look correct to me, but let me know if you see any errors.
I see now that the Vaseline coupon is for 20.3 ounce size, so my scenarios wouldn’t work the way I laid them out.
They would work with 4 of the Suave coupons though.
I saw that and changed it on the page. The cheaper ones are like 10 oz and the larger ones are 20.3 oz.
OK, since my other scenarios didn’t work, how about these:
2 Suave Lotions @$2.50 – $4 ( 2 – $1 coupons doubled)= $1
2 Suave Deodorants @$1.75 – $3.00 ( 2 – $0.75 coupons doubled)= $0.50
2 Tresemme @ $3.50 each – BOGO coupon = $3.50
1 Suave Body Wash @$1.75 – $1 (.50 coupon doubled) = $0.75
1 Suave Body Wash @$1.75 – $0.50 = $1.25
1 Suave Body Wash @$1.75 – $0.50 = $1.25
$8.20 – $7.00 = $1.20 9 items/$0.13 each
2 Suave Lotions @$2.50 – $4 ( 2 – $1 coupons doubled)= $1
3 Suave Deodorants @$1.75 – $4.50 ( 3 – $0.75 coupons doubled)= $0.75
2 Tresemme @ $3.50 each – BOGO coupon = $3.50
1 Suave Body Wash @$1.75 – $0.50 = $1.25
1 Suave Body Wash @$1.75 – $0.50 = $1.25
$7.75 – $7.00 = $0.75 9 items/$0.08 each
Looks like you did your homework. Great final totals.
most of the unilever qs that came out this su day has a max of 2 per trans
Brooke- Where are you getting $1 off Suave lotion coupons? I can’t seem to find any…
nevermind- I just saw Karen’s note that Rainbow should accept the family dollar one. Hope it works
I just came back from my trip to Rainbow brooklyn park store, they won’t let me use the unilever coupons. But i went to Maple Grove last night they don’t have any problems with coupons.
WHAT!?! Why wouldn’t they allow you to use the Unilever coupons? What was their excuse?
I just went shopping, and the Suave lotion coupons worked, however, they scanned as though they were the deodorant, so they didn’t fully double (only $1.75 total came off my total). I seem to run into that a lot with printed coupons — they don’t go in exactly for the product that’s printed on in, but anything by the same manufacturer. I’ve had it happen with Nabisco, Kelloggs, Pillsbury, and Betty Crocker coupons, to name a few I can remeber. I’ve had clerks yell at me for trying to pull a scam when printed coupons have come off of the wrong products. Does anyone know of a solution for this? I try to be extremely honest with my couponing, and I want to make sure I’m doing everything right.
So, final total for the Unilever deal (with coupon snafu)
2 bottles of Suave lotion, 2 bottles of Suave body wash, 3 Suave deodorants, and 2 (HUGE 32 oz) bottles of Tresemme shampoo for an out of pocket total of $1.75, or about 0.19 per item. Not too bad, and I won’t have to buy shampoo or deodorant for a long, long time.
Thanks so much for doing all of the coupon match-ups for these Karen!!
YEAH! You did great! I just got home and I think I did like 8 transactions with Unilever.
@Karen, the cashier said that I already get the $7 off so they don’t want us(customers) to use any coupons on the Unilever deal. I went to Maple Grove again and my coupons works just fine.
OMG Call or send corp a message…who made this lady God? It didn’t say anything about not using coupons. I do NOT like shopping at BP Rainbow because of their attitudes to couponers.
I just talked to the store manager and he said that, it’s either we will use the coupons and not get the $7 money back!
Go ABOVE the store manager and contact Corp via email. It doesn’t say ANYWHERE in the ad that you can not use coupons and get the $7 back. I used coupons and still got the $7 back.
Thanks so much everyone for your help in this deal. I think I’ll do the Clear that way I can still double 5 q’s. I love this site. ‘
Karen YOU ROCK
You’re welcome and thank you!
Do any of the stores carry the Clear Conditioner? I didn’t see it or even a space for it. And, yes, thank you Karen for the transaction ideas!
Yes, it is on the very TOP shelf.
Great! Thank you!!!
Thanks Karen… I did a couple of your ideas from above (I was lucky to get the bonus Slimfast drink -2 extra). I also did this one:
5 Suave Deodorant @ $1.75 – $7.50 (5 – .75 coupon doubled)= $1.25
3 Axe Gel @ $4 – B2G1 FREE = $8
$9.25 – $7 instant savings = $2.25 / 8 = .28 each
and was confused about getting to 20.00 until I realized that buying 5 Suave at $1.75 was 8.75 not 7.50 so I would make it to the 20.00.
Excellent ideas Karen. Thank you so much for all you do.
Wow…great deals! You’re welcome!
That Suave lotion coupon was kind of funny- When the cashier scanned it, it came up as $1 off axe deodorant, which I also bought! Good thing I was watching when that coupon was scanned, because then the axe coupons wouldn’t scan since supposedly I used coupons for them already! The cashier thought maybe she had already scanned the axe coupons or something. She eventually forced the real axe coupons through- Just another reminder to make sure all your coupons get used correctly!
It actually happens a lot with P&G coupons. Good eye for watching!
