Rite Aid - Week of December 18th to 24th
This will be my last post
for a little while because tomorrow at 7am I will be induced in order to meet
our 3rd child. Today's trip was a great note to end on. I didn't make a profit
necessarily, but $0.22 for all that is shown in the picture below isn’t bad.
Another awesome thing is that I came across a rebate for Arm & Hammer that
I qualify for a $10 rebate due to this purchase and past purchases. It pays,
literally, to save your receipts I'm learning.

DEALS - Week of November 20th to 26th
This has been one amazing week of deals in our household...
TARGET:
I needed clothes for our upcoming addition to the family. I was able to get the 18 pieces of clothing above for $17.75 thanks to a lovely coupon I printed off of the Target website that is no longer available. It was $5 off a $20 purchase of their CIRCO line of clothing. Each piece of clothing was marked down to $1.25.
Then I needed some diapers. Target was running their buy 3 packages of diapers get a $5 Target Card. I remembered as I looked at my coupons that a few weeks ago I got 2 'Target coupons' that printed out after buying huggies that stated it could be used to get '$5 off a pack of huggies and wipes'. Since you can stack a manufacture coupon and a target coupon I was able to get the above for $8.91.
I had also noticed in the Giant circular that there was a diaper deal. You could buy $30 worth of Huggies diapers and wipes and get $10 off your next purchase. On top of the $10 off there was another deal running that I found out about thanks to Forthemommas that if you bought 3 packages of diapers you would get an additional $5 off your next purchase. After manufacture coupons and these coupons for future grocery trips the above actually cost me $7.96.
Black Friday Deals at CVS:
Thanks to savemore.com I had purchased a $10 gift card for $5. It was a huge help this week. I was able to get ALL of the above for free and GET PAID $8.46. I did 4 separate transactions in order to roll my in store credit into other orders to keep me from having to spend much cash up front. I may post the scenario tomorrow morning.

20% OFF THE ENTIRE STORE
In order to reach this status you have to spend $1,000 in the store. Okay...stop right there...no I did not spend $1,000 at Rite Aid in the last 10 months. I sat down and crunched the numbers using my banking software. I reached this status by only spending $200 (that's $20/month on toiletries) in the last 10 months. The $1,000 is based on buying a $1,000 WORTH of products. I bought $1,000 worth of products using $200 cash and $800 worth of coupon and rebate/refund savings. So basically in all my spending this year I have saved 80% on all my purchases (diapers, paper towels, kleenex, tooth paste, detergent, razors, etc, etc.)
I'm so thankful I sat down to take a look at the big picture of savings. It is completely worth it. Give it a try.
