Rite Aid BIG WEEK! Sept 26-Oct 2

WOW RITE AID!! I went 3 times this week!

In total, I spent $8.99 (almost all tax),  saved $129.80 and earned $30 UP and $2 SCR (gillette). I didn't get my Oral care gift card in time for this week to cover the tax, so I actually had OOP expenses this week.

Wags Sept 15

I had RR expiring today do had to get this deal done! I had tried once on Mon and one of my coupons wouldn't go through. So I came home, checked it out, it was fine so I tried again today at a different store and they were willing to push it through! So, only one transaction but an expensive one, so the tax was high (darn TN state sales tax!)

3 Dulcolax 4.1 oz 6.99x3= 20.97
2 Nyquil 5.00 x 2= 10
2 Schick intuition refills  =21.98
2 seed packets on clearance  .16 ea x 2= .28
=$53.23
-10.99 bogo sale on schick
-8 (2)  4 schick facebook qs (the ones to cause all the problems)
-16 (2) 8 Dulcolax try me free IP
-3 Dulcolax SS 8/08 or 9/12
-6 Dulcolax Wags Sept coupon book q (2 ea)
-3  (2) 1.50 Nyquil q's
- 4RR
-1RR ( I had a 2RR I should have used but did the math wrong- oh well)
Subtotal: $1.28
+lots of tax=
$5.19
Saved: $64.13
Got back 5RR (Nyquil)

There is a better deal with the Nyquil Vanilla swirl but of course, not to be found here yet as seems to be the case with any new products:  we get it later. It does sound disgusting though, and we actually will use the gel caps! And I LOVE the schick intuition razor. So easy to use. While I don't need the Dulcolax, it helped pay for what I did need.

Weekly totals Aug 22-28

I did really well this week! But I'm already eating into my savings with the start of this week! Yikes! We were out of everything it seemed, so I had to spend some money today. Also, it's a month with 5 weeks in in it, so I guess I'll just add on to my budget for an extra week.

This week:
Spent: $43.55
Saved: $487.98!!
Earned: $33.49 SCR, $5 MIR (publix gift card)

So far this month I've spent $205.93 regular budget, add in Whole Foods/TJ = $310.69 for the first 4 weeks! That's about $100 underbudget! I'l make it up this week though, esp. as it's been 4 weeks since I've been to TJ so I need to go again. Normally, this would be the start of another 4 weeks monthly period but it's not. So? I guess we'll see!
 At least I do this only for myself so the rules are completely made up by me!:)
Saved: $1745.57!!!

Rite Aid Aug 22-28

Crazy week at Rite Aid! I've been twice. I'm just posting pictures and totals! Listing everything would take forever! If anyone really wants to know, I can be more specific.

This is day 1- 4 transactions!
Spent: $10.43
But paid almost all with my RA gift card so OOP: .67
Saved: $130.38
Earned: $18.49 SCR

So, day 2. I didn't do NEARLY as well as day 1. Spent way more than usual but it happens sometimes!
2 transactions:
Spent: $14.71- this includes a legitimate coupon that wouldn't scan for $2.50 so def. should have been at least that much less. I may take it back in later. My super helpful manager wasn't in and the cashiers were already nervous about price matching a few items to the National ad.
Saved: $53.21
Earned: $15 SCR
So at least I earned back what I spent!
