Well I am not normally a Rite Aid shopper. I got out of the habit last year. But I just might get back in now. I started my day with a trip to CVS.
Cvs Trip:
2 Oral-B tooth brushes
1- Nivea Lip Care
1- Bottle of Excedrin (not pictured)
Used $6.99 in coupons & $7.00 in ECB's. Total OOP was $3.77 after tax, plus received $10.99 back in ECB's. That makes it a Profit of .22 even after tax. WOO HOO. Good trip.
Second stop was Rite Aid. This I broke into 2 transactions to be able to use both a $5/25 & a $3/$15 coupon.
First transaction was :
2 cover Girl Eyeshadow Blends
1 pack of Diapers
Used 15.49 in coupons. Total OOP $4.03 after tax.
Second transaction was:
2 Cover girl Mascaras
2 Cadbury Eggs (the kids needed something by now)
1 Gillette Shaving Gel
1 Gillette Body Wash
Used $16.98 in coupons. Total OOP $3.77 after tax
On to Harris Teeter:
2 More transactions:
5 boxes of Fruit Loops
5 Boxes of Apple Jacks
4 bags of Chex Mix
6 bags of No Yolk
Total OOP was 16.41 plus I got $8 back in OYNO coupons. That makes it $8.41 for all of that.
I thought this was a great deal until I got home and looked at my receipts. I realized I used 3 of the .70/1 coupons on the Apple Jacks that did not double because they started with a "9". Lost $2.10 on that deal. Then I realized that I should have gotten only 3 bags of No Yolks. Because they were BOGO I automatically grabbed 6 by mistake. Instead of being free I paid .40 per bag. So another loss of $2.25. This just goes to show that everybody makes mistakes, it is hard to shop with a 4 & 2 year old hyped up on Cadbury Eggs,you should not do deals while hopped up on cold meds, & last but not least....the deal was still good but it could have been better. There is always next time. So get out there girls and make some good buys. Happy shopping!!!
