Giant & Rite Aid

Today was the first real day that I was feeling reasonably well to go out and do things after the accident and we needed milk and well...

There are so many free after rebate items at Rite Aid this week. I knew I wasn't going to get all of them because there is no way I'm willing to wake up at 7am to get to a store by 8am only to be competing with every single soccer mom in Olney, but I did give it a shot around 9:30 and was pleasantly surprised to purchase most of the items I wanted to.

I bought:

$1.99 Chapstick shimmer berry
$3.99 Comtrex 20 ct
$10.99 Neti Pot (I've been meaning to get one of these for awhile, and the $3 off coupon pretty much sealed the deal - yes of course, I'll make $3 on a product I want anyway!)
$2.99 vanilla softlips 2-pack
$6.99 Simply Saline Sinus kit
$3.99 Excedrin Express Gels 20 ct
$4.79 Frosted Mini Wheats
$0.00 Buy 1 get 1 free Frosted Mini Wheats

- $3.00 Neti Pot coupon (link above)

= $32.73
I used what was left on a $20 giftcard and brought the total down to $19.79, so that's what I spent Oop, although I'll be getting $30.94 back from the rebates and I'm going to use the Chapstick rebate in (I believe) this week's paper to get $1.99 back. =)

Next was Giant. I really only needed to get milk, but I got some great deals!

$3.99 gallon skim milk

$1.43 4.33 lb of bananas (ripe $.33 a lb)
$.84 2 clear pencil boxes on clearance

- $2.00 Glade promotion from last shopping trip

- $15.95 which I paid with a gift card, however, the Glade deal didn't work - the 2-$4 off next shopping trip coupons didn't print out, so the customer service lady gave me $8 in cash, reducing my trip Oop to $7.95 Oop (of course I used a gift card so I technically spent nothing out of pocket)

Running weekly tally: $19.79
