Got my groove back at Rite Aid!

Last week Rite Aid was a total bust for me, so I wanted to get in there early this week and get what I needed and wanted.  PLUS, earlier this week my $30 in Rite Aid gift cards from June’s skin care rebate came in the mail! WOOHOO!  So today I put those gift cards and some coupons to good use!

zero out of pocket and got back $10.99 :)

3 Pepsi 12-packs $10.98
2 Purex 3-in-1 laundry sheets (for my BFF!) $6
Nivea for Men body wash $1.99
Listerine Pocket Paks (hubs loves these!) $3.99
Colgate Sensitive toothpaste (for my BFF’s MOM, dang I am a good friend. RIGHT??) $3
Total = $25.96

Coupons:

-$5/$25 Rite Aid printable

-$1 Colgate Sensitive printable

-$2 two $1 off Purex printables

-$1 Listerine Rite Aid Video Values coupon

-$.50 Listerine pocket paks from insert awhile back

-$1 Nivea for Men from this Sunday’s inserts

total=$15.46 + $1.47 tax = $16.93

piad with $1 +UP reward and paid $15.93 on my Rite Aid gift card and I got back 8 +UP Rewards (2 for Pepsi, 1 for Purex, 3 for Colgate, 1 for Listerine, and 1 for Nivea for Men) and will get back a $2.99 SCR for the Listerine also!  PLUS the Listerine and Colgate count towards an Oral care rebate for August where you buy $15 and get $5 back. So I am on my way to earning that one as well! WOOT!

And I still have $14.07 left on my Rite Aid gift card for next time. Gotta love a ZERO out-of-pocket trip!

Weekly Winners July 18-23

I haven’t done Weekly Winners in approximately 4 milllion years.  But this past weekend I put an end to my photo slacker-ness! We were at Kiser Lake because Bobby and his dad sail boats there and they were teaching a sailing school. So here are some pics I got while we were there.

CVS Redemption!

Ok, so Saturday night I decided to sneak into CVS really quick because we were desperate for flushable wipes. I had a HUGE stockpile of these before potty training/Sophie using the potty regularly, and now we were down to like 1/4 of a pack.  While I was there I decided to get some of next week’s deals early since my stores start their sale on Saturday night, and throw in a monthly deal and a current deal as well! Shew! Luckily, they had everything I wanted. I was low on ECB so I paid quite a bit more than usual out-of-pocket, but my ECB in return made up for it.  Here’s what I scored:

paid $28.80 got back 23 ECB

Pull-Ups $8.99 (Sophie still wears these to bed. And YES she will be THRILLED with the Lightning McQueen designs! She loves CARS. They were out of the girl Pull-Ups in her size.)
Bio-True contact solution $2.99
2 packs of CVS toddler wipes BOGO 50% off $2.23
Pampers Swaddlers big box $21.99
U by Kotex tampons $4.99
total = $41.19
coupons:
-$1.50 off Pull-Ups from last week’s Smart Source
-$2 Bio True printable
-$2 Swaddlers coupon from P&G insert
-$4.50 Pampers big box CVS coupon from coupon scanner (SCORE!)
– $1 Kotex printable
=$30.19
paid with 4 ECB and paid $26.19 + $2.61 tax for a total of $28.80. I got back 3 ECB for the Pull-Ups, 2.99 for the Bio-True, 10 for the Pampers (making my total for those $5.49 for a BIG BOX!!!) and 4.99 for the Kotex. So my total ECB earned was 20.97, making my net expense for all of the above $7.83. I am pretty pleased with that!!  And now I have LOTS of ECB for next time!  Here are some notes:

The Bio-True deal is good for the month of July, so you can get this any time. It’s $2.99 free after ECB and there is a $2 printable so it’s a $2 money-maker.

The Pampers and Kotex deals are for this current week. Kotex is a $1 money-maker if you use this printable.

The Pull-Ups deal was for last week. So don’t try that one, it’ll be done tonight (7/24).

Happy shopping! What did you get??
