It's time to do some Rite Aid bragging!!!

First I started with $10 in + up rewards from last week. And I walked out of the store with $12 in + up rewards!! I spent $4.30 OOP (out of pocket) which includes tax. I split this trip into 3 separate transactions to maximize my savings and + up rewards.


I spent $0.78 for everything, and $3.52 in tax! (there's no getting around paying tax ... unless you owe -$0.03 on the first transaction and they DEDUCT $ 0.03 off your tax owed!! woo hoo!!!)

today's visit was for me and the girls. We are all in need of a hair boost! So I got 2 for each of us. We need lotion and always need tampons... and I needed some foundation. It feels good to get some girly things FOR FREE! :)

  2. Thanks!! It is fun! I tried to tell that to my 2 girls and their boyfriends the other night and the boyfriends laughed at me lol ... then I had a dream that night, it was about a year later and he calls me from college and says "Mrs Tina can you teach me how to coupon? I am out of money and have no toothpaste!!" hahaha weird dream!! I told him and his mom about the dream and he started choking on the sandwich he was eating from laughing so hard! hmmm we'll see!
