Money Maker at Rite Aid Tonight!

The above order of the pictures is way skewed; not sure what is up with that, as this isn't the order I took them in. Tonight I excitedly headed off to the car and down to Rite Aid for this money maker to help plump up the coffers of my $30 annual budget.

I bought two Afrin sprays, 1 Coricidin and two Colgate Total toothpaste and used a fistful of coupons that I am too tired to remember let alone list at this point. They are there on the receipt if you really feel the need to know:)
My Total was $17.29 and got back $26 in UP rewards. Now hold on for a few minutes while I grab the calculator and attempt mental math greatness; actually I believe it is more like basic subtraction.;)
I am back...Woohoo, $8.71 smackers to add back into the annual budget.

CVS Skippy Haul- 9 jars for a buck!!!!!!

CVS had a great deal; buy $15 worth of certain products and get back Extra Care bucks worth $5. Skippy peanut butter was on sale 3 jars for $5. I bought 9 jars after checking to make sure there was plenty for other shoppers available.

I had some wonderful $1 off a jar of Skippy coupons. I used 9 coupons and paid $6 in cash and got back a $5 Extra Care Bucks coupon.

Total spent on this transaction was $6 cash and I received $5 ECB, so I am going to say I spent $1 out of pocket. Each jar was .11 cents. Woohoo! Peanut butter to share with everyone in my family. I see lots of pb&j in all our futures. I hope we have milk...

Rite Aid Made Good on the Tissue and Tp!

On January 20, I wrote about my frustration with Rite Aid and how I had seen in  their store ad tissue and tp at a GREAT price; pay $1 and get $1 for each and there was none to be found in the store for over a week. I had just about given up and went into Rite Aid this a.m. and low and behold, a ray of sunlight shone down from heaven onto the shelf where my free tp and tissue was awaiting my eager shopping cart! Well, not really...but I was happy to get it :)
Total spent was .50 cents in tax for this transaction

Chex Mix Score on January 23rd

Looks like a lotta Chex Mix doesn't it? There are eighteen bags. I went to two Walgreens stores and I checked with both to be sure there was plenty on hand before taking this much in six separate transactions. In each group I bought three bags at a time. The mix was on sale three bags for $3.99. I used a store coupon for 99 cents off on two and two dollar off manufacturer's  coupons for a couple transactions. The other transactions I used three dollar off manufacturer's coupons on the rest. I paid a dollar on each set and got back $1.50 Register Reward for each, so a profit of .50 cents times six is $3.00 profit! WOOOHOOO!

Total spent on these transactions-I paid a dollar per bag, but got back the RR for 1.50! Made $3.00, total spent for the year is now $5.10 I got back Register Rewards for a total of $ 9.00
