Great Rite Aid Deals Again

I headed to Rite Aide yesterday because I had a coupon for a $20 gift card when you fill an RX. The $20 gc would not work so they gave me a $25 one. SCORE!!! While they were working on my RX I did my shopping. I came out of the store with the following:

2-Boxes of Honey Nut Cherrios-Sale for $1.99-$1 off coupon for each
1-tape dispenser-Free after rebate plus I had a $2 off coupon. (I made $2 here SCORE!!!)
2-Airwick Freshmatic Fresheners-Normally $12.99 sale for 50% off plus I had 2 $6 off coupons.
2-Panyliners-Free after coupons
2-Contact Lens Solution for traveling-Free after coupons.

I used a $5 off $25 coupon making my total after sales and coupons $1.15 (just taxes) and I paid for this with my gift card.

So I got all of this for free and I have $23 and some change on a gift card for next week.

I am pretty happy.

Rite Aid Sunday

Matt and I went to Rite Aid right after church to take advantage of all the Free after rebate items. The reason I bring him along is because there is a coupon out there for $5 off $25 and it's only one per customer, so he can be a separate customer. They had all of the items in the ad and we also found some really cheap light bulbs on clearance for .99. Someone keeps stealing our light bulbs in the front yard. I guess living on a main street has some down falls. Anyway, I did two transactions so that I could use the two $5 off coupons. Paid a total of $35.70 out of pocket and will be getting $48 back in rebates. That's right...I get to keep all the product and I am ahead $12. Some of the stuff I got for free after rebates are: toothpaste, heartburn meds, intestinal meds, wart meds, chocolates, contact lens solution, tape and light bulbs. Also all of the meds count towards our flex spending account with Matt's employer. Yeah... I am pretty happy. Check out www.iheartriteaid.com for the details and the coupons that go along with it.

I really wish I could do better with groceries, but it's so hard. I went to FoodMaxx and got some groceries for the week. The majority was produce...spent $25 and saved $3.00 in coupons it was a 47% saving compared to your higher end stores. This shld last me the week. Our freezer is already stalked with meats so I didn't have to buy that. My goal is to do better with meal planning and grocery shopping.

 
 
 
 

More Pics from The Day Out With Thomas

A Day Out With Thomas

 

 

 

 

Last week we took the family to Santa Cruz to see Thomas the Train. When we got there on Thursday we spent the day at the Boardwalk and rode rides. It was great and the kids loved it. We stayed in the Best Western in Scotts Valley which is only about 5 miles from where Thomas was. The train ride was nice and the kids had a good time. Lillian really did well being dragged around every where without much of a nap. Tiring, but I'd love to do it again.

My July 29, 2009 Shopping trip

 

After the kids went to bed and did my thing. I went to Rite Aid first. You will need to sign up online for their single check rebates and you will get a lot of stuff for free after rebate and coupons. I've been doing it for a year now and its easy and fun. Check out www.Iheartriteaid.com for the deals details. Basically I got over $60.00 worth of stuff for about $7. The key is stack manufacture coupons with store coupons and sales and rebates.

I went to Walgreens across the street next. I got the Listerine for .50 each and the Scott mailers for .06 for 4 and finally the Got to Be styling products for $1 each or maybe less. I cannot find my rec't now. The styling products are normally $6.29 each. Check out iheartwags.com for additional details.

To do this you will need to get a Sunday paper for coupons(http://www.sassysupersaver.com/2009/05/sassy-fresno-bee-deal.html) and also print out online coupons. Coupons.com, smartsource.com are just a couple of sites for printables. Look at other blogs who actually break it down for you what you need to do. It's a rush to get some great deals and you will never have to pay full price for things again.

First post...Second try

I already wrote this out but forgot to save to it diapeared...haha...I am still learning. I've been wanting to blog for some time now and here I go. My plan is to let all of you know about how I shop at certain stores to get free or almost free stuff every week. This allows me to save money so that we can have no debt in our household and are able to donate more as well. We are big fans of Dave Ramsey, who is a financial king. He has taught us so much. I learned most of my tips from him as well as other bloggers. I am just going to take it day by day and see how it goes. Some of my favorite blogs are www.sassysupersaver.com, www.moneysavingmom.com and www.dealseekingmom.com. Check them out.
