Score!

This week at RITE AID they had some AWESOME deals. I couldn't pass them up, so I even went twice! I am now stocked on diapers for a couple months. Here was my 1st trip

Diapers, hair color, makeup, paper towels and Johnson's baby stuff

missing from the picture is valentine's Fun Dip box, Nutter Butter cookie single (the baby HAD to have it) 2 packages of Oreo's & 5 Reese's single peanut butter egg & 5 Cadbury egg single. SORRY I forgot all about them when I was taking the pictures.

(BTW- I Rite Aid clearance ROCKS! Go check it out)

these are close ups of the items

I saved $53.37 with my wellness + card and then saved

$54.35 in coupons

I spent $40.78 on all of that and got $24.00 in +UP rewards back. SO I went back tonite and got this stuff

More haircolor, shampoo, conditioner, Johnson's baby stuff, diapers, paper towels, nail polish and cadbury eggs. PLUS some yummy easter candy (they had it buy 1 get 1 free) OH! And the Right Guard body wash

I got all of this for $28.50 and I got $24.00 in +UP rewards for next time! saved $32.69 with my wellness + card and $46.00 in coupons.

Rite Aid is definitely WORTH the trip! Can't wait to see what next week sales are like!

Saving .. gotta love it!

The baby and I were up and adem (if that is even how you spell that word) for an appt at 8am yesterday morning. We were done (amazingly enough) by 830. I was NOT gonna just sit at home all day. Then I would HAVE to CLEAN and do LAUNDRY! I was NOT in the mood, so instead we went on an adventure to find DEALS! I am so glad that she puts up with my shopping :)

Well I made my way into Vons (the grocery store) I used to shop there ALL the time. When it was just down the road. It is 30 minutes from where we live now. After walking around for a little bit these are the super deals I found. Hold yourself back.... I didn't even have my coupon binder with me. Just a few loose coupons that I had had in the diaper bag already. I was so excited about what I got I even took a picture LOL

 (I use my mom's VONS club card because I don't have my own.... YET)

I paid $12.07 for all of that PLUS got these 2 catalina coupons.  $2 off my next order and $2.50 off 5 more Lunchables.  SO... 

Because I got that coupon I went right back to see if there were more 50% off lunchables left. YUP! I scored 5 more. Took them to the checkout and the cashier rang them up..

My total due.... $1.20 for 5 lunchables! (92% savings) PLUS I got ANOTHER $2.50 off coupon for more! Oh and wait that $1.20 is WITHOUT even using the coupons from the 1st transaction. The cashier said I couldn't use them because they exceeded the total amount due already. So I still have all the coupons. OH Yes believe me I WILL be heading back to Vons to check out more deals again! I forget how much I love that store!

I SCORED!

So it is that time again. I missed out last month on DOUBLE COUPON day because I was in Utah “playing” (ok so it was more like I COULDN’T come home because I had thrown my back out) WELL.. I sure made up for missing out last month yesterday!

I have gotten SO behind on cutting my coupons and sorting them. I stayed up til just about 2am Monday morning cutting, sorting and organizing. Knowing full well that my alarm was going to go off at 6am to get my oldest up and off to Jr High and THAT would be the start of my day. No nap.. no rest for the weary shopper.

Sydney (#2 Daughter) stayed home from school again yesterday. She has been sick for a week now. I am KINDA glad she was home. It was nice to have her help out with the baby so I could focus and get the shopping DONE!

So here are my totals:

1^st trip $311.72 and I paid $53.92 – 17% of my total

2^nd trip $326.11 and I paid $61.30 - 19% of my total

3^rd trip $112.66 and I paid $26.73 – 23% of the total (but the cashier was Dumb and overcharged me by $11.74. I TRIED to correct her mistake as she was checking me out but she got all huffy and told me she KNEW what she was doing! Are you kidding? I have been doing this for YEARS now. I could do her job for her and be done WAY quicker too. So after 3 trips back to the 7 day store, and waiting over and hour, The “remedy” they gave me was NOT a refund of my money but a GIFT CARD of $10. The management (of who was a Ssgt.) said they only came up with an $8 mistake, NOT the total that I had. I mean come on I KNOW how much I pay for something... down to the PENNY! WHATEVER

Sorry- I will step down off my soapbox now.

4^th trip (was actually my oldest daughters doing) $53.19 and she paid $1.19 - .02% of total

5^th trip $159.02 and I paid $22.49 – 14% of my total

And 6^th trip was $72.22 and my total was $3.64 - .05% of my total

FOR GRAND TOTALS OF:

$1034.92 and I paid $169.27 for a total of just 16% of my total.

And for that this is all the “STUFF” I got (It couldn't even ALL fit on my kitchen table!)
