Rite Aid - Pens & Hope?

I had heard rumors about some sales going on that would be MM. I had stopped in the day before yesterday looking for the deals, but didn't see any signage. I decided to wait until I knew for certain what I was getting. I hate doing returns, so I avoid them as best I can. Wish I had gone with my gut instinct. Ah well, I was still able to grab a few items.

BTS Ruler $.89 (10% discount)
BTS 2pk Erasers $.89 (10% discount)
Pilot EZ Touch $2.06 (10% discount)
2 Pilot EZ Touch Blue @ $2.06 each = $4.12 (10% discount)
Dr Grip Center of Gravity $7.19 (10% discount, placed on the wrong peg as I thought it was $2.29! Return.)
Dayquil Sinus 20ct $5.00
Total Before Coupons: $20.15

$4/1 Dayquil Sinus
Total After Coupons: $16.15 (used $10 +up, .46 tax, $6.61 GC)



Received:
$2 +up wyb 2 A&W products
2 $4 +up wyb two Pilot Pens
$2 +up Nyquil
Net: $4.15 cost (+$.46 tax)

Return! (I hate doing returns, but I would have never bought an $8 pen!)
$7.19 + tax(?) = $7.19 GC
Grand Net: $3.04 profit

I plan on buying another pen because I wouldn't have other wise gotten the $4 +up wyb two Pilot Pens. We'll see if they have them in stock latter this week. Thank goodness these deals are good for almost a month. Here's hoping I can get more.

CVS - Late Again

I always get to this one so late. (I bought this last week on the 23rd!) It's most likely because by the time I buy the items it's usually Saturday. Sometimes I'm hoping to grab a rain check to sweeten the deals I get latter. Other weeks I've been attempting to buy as much at my home store as possible.

FYI - As of Monday I now work in only one store. Yippee! No more hour drives for me. This girl is sticking to her 15-25 minute commute. ^_^ Hopefully between that and the holiday season ending I can keep up with CVS at a regular pace.

Thermacare Wrap $2.79
Kids Band Aids @ $2.49 each = $4.98
Total Before Coupons: $7.77

No Coupons

Received:
$2.79 EB Thermacare
$4 EB Band Aids
Net: $.98 cost

Normally would have skipped such a deal, but those Band Aids are so cute! They're going to directly to the donation box. Not sure when I will get around to that again. Maybe late Jan?

Saving Sunday - Mailbox & More!

Thoughts:

~Excedrin Coupons! W00t! Two free and one $3.50/1 this will be great! I think CVS or Rite Aid will have some kind of deal on these really soon to make this such a sweet deal. ^_^

~Purina, dog food samples are always welcomed at my parents house. (Epically since Noel would eat us out of house and home if we let her.)




Pictured above are some clothes from a friend of a friend. I'm in desperate need of pants at the moment and these could not have come at a better time. I haven't tried everything on as of yet, but I believe that all of the clothing should fit. Some pieces aren't my favorite color, but who am I to judge? They were free and I'm thankful I'm able to get clothing in such great shape.



I was also was in need of shoes. Thanks to Common Sense With Money, one of the blogs I follow I was alerted to a great deal on Sketchers shape-ups, 2 for $60! (Just one would have been $40, 25% off wyb 2.) I've been saving up my amazon e-cards from Swag Bucks just for something like this. In the end I paid about $35.00 total! That's an amazing deal for Sketchers. I'll be set on shoes until next year.

Happy Chirstmas!

Rite Aid - Catchup

Time to catchup to the current week of deals at Rite Aid. Nothing to crazy this week. I need to try & roll some +ups or turn them back into cash. I made one bigger purchase on Saturday to do just that. Before anyone asks, no I don't have a MyGrid. Too many ups to try and roll, so this was an easy +ups to cash. Now if only the rest would be so simple.



Saturday:
7 Revlon Emery Boards @ $.75 each = $5.25
Revlon Nail Clippers $.87
MyGrid Power Clip Universal $26.99 (10% discount)
Total: $33.11 (used $33 +up, no tax)

No Coupons ~ Could have used a $5 off $25, but with all the buzz about coupons being legit or not I've decided to stay far away from these.

Received/Will Receive:
4 $2 +up wyb 2 Revlon
$25 SCR MyGrid Power Clip
Net: $.11 cost

Tuesday:
Clearsil Overnight Serum $5.49 (50% clearance)
Clearsil Vanishing Cream $5.66 (10% discount)

To bad they were out of the Mortin PM 20ct & the Loreal 360 clearance. If only I had more time to hop through the different stores this week. Also out of the 'free' pick up sticks & I didn't see any of the 'fishing' games.

CVS - Employee Weekend!

Missing from this picture: 4 coke 12pk, beard/mustache scissors (A gift for Sweetheart), jar of Mayo (we were out & no good sales), two boxes of Mrs Field's cookies.

CVS was oh so kind and gave employees another bonus savings weekend. Normally I don't post my employee discount, but as I would not have bought some of these items otherwise it should be noted. I'm only going to summarize my purchase, because there is so much.

Total After Discount: $96.94
Total After Coupons: $47.72 (Pantene BOGO Qs!)
Received: $9.00 EB

Grand Net: $18.72 (Yippee!)

Falling Behind

It's been an 'exciting' week. Sweetheart was sick from Tuesday 'til Saturday. I started feeling ill Sunday night and ended up calling off on Monday. I'm mostly better, but still not 100%.

Lizzy is being a problem child and stalled on me again Sunday morning on my way to work! Yikes! No other options now. I must get a 'new' car because not knowing what's wrong is driving me crazy! She only stalls when she's cold so I'm going to have to warm her up for about 5 minutes or so every time before I drive. What the heck is wrong with my car?

Hoping to get another post up tonight. Maybe two? Catching up on CVS & Rite Aid. I'll be back in the swing of things soon! As long as there are no more mishaps. *sighs*
