Happy Shopsgiving Drugstore Haul!

My hubby had a 5-mile race he does every Thanksgiving called the “Turkey Trot” so I had to wait ’til he got home to hit the drugstores.  It’s JUST not Thanksgiving without a good drugstore.  Fortunately, I was on my way by 11 am.  Here’s what I got!  First, Rite Aid.  I actually had to go to two Rite Aid’s because my regular store doesn’t carry the Cotonelle wipes which were a big part of my plan. I went ahead and got my other deals at the 1st store though, because I found some exciting clearance there!  They had Arm & Hammer essentials cleaner for 74 cents and the refill 2-packs for 99 cents!  I picked up several since I really like this cleaner!  Here’s what  I got:

paid about $12, got back about $17 :) Rite Aid!!

1st store:

2 Lime Crush 2-liters $1.34 each = $2.68

2 Reese’s peanut butter cups 50 cents each = $1

Vaseline for men $2.99

Vaseline w/ aloe $2.99

Got 2B hairspray $4.99

Colgate toothpaste $1.77

Colgate toothbrush $1.77

Arm & Hammer cleaner 74 cents

Arm & Hammer refills 99 cents x 3 = $2.97

Windex multi-surface 99 cents

Vick’s Sinex $4.99

total = $27.88

coupons:

-$5/25 Rite Aid printable

-$2 two Vaseline q’s from recent Red Plum insert

-$4 Vicks Sinex (from coupons in pkg. of Duracell batteries I bought a couple weeks ago!)

-$1 Colgate Total Rite Aid video values coupon

-$1 Colgate 360 toothbrush Rite Aid video values coupon

-$3 +UP Rewards from last week

total =$11.88 and I got back 1 +UP Reward for the candy, 4 (2 each) +UP Rewards for the Vaseline, 2 for the Sinex, for a total of 6 +UP Rewards. I SHOULD have gotten 1 each for the Colgate toothbrush & toothpaste, for a total of 8,  but they didn’t print! So I will have to contact customer service to get those.  I will also get back a $4.99 Single Check Rebate for the Got2B hairspray.  So, if I get my 2 +UP Rewards my profit will be about $1 on that transaction. 🙂

Next, I had to hit the other Rite Aid to get those wipes. Sophie and Joshua’s little buns demanded it!  And so did my coupons!  I got:

3 Cottonelle tubs $1.88 each = $5.64

Two 100 Grand candy bars $1

total =$8.63

YAY for Rite Aid!

Next, I hit CVS.  I wasn’t too enthused about the deals but I actually ended up doing really well!

I used my get $4 ECB when you spend $20 voucher from the Holiday Savings Book so I got $4 ECB for that, and everything I bought was FREE after ECB, so I got $26.94 additional back for a total of $30.94 in ECB, and $18 profit (before tax.) !! Yippeee!! I haven’t done that well in a while!  And I didn’t even buy ALL the freebies they had!

  1. I never found that holiday book and I NEVER get e-mail coupons. I also didn’t get the $10 off of $50 that many at my store were getting at check out.

  2. My Colgate +Up didn’t print either! There were two other ladies at RA who had the same complaint. The manager said it may have been because the coupons made it free, I ended up returning it. I love shopping at Rite Aid but this time the cashiers gave me a hassle for using my +UPs in the next transaction. Apparently, Rite Aid may be changing their policy on +UPs. I had to put on my game face because I knew there was no such WRITTEN policy.
