Jumping off the success of my most recent trip to Rite Aid, I have been counting down the days until my next weekly trip!!
And let me tell you - it didn't disappoint!!
I spent a total of $15.41 out of pocket.
I saved a total of $39.34
$5.00 off $25.00 purchase
$5.00 in Up Rewards
$21.34 in Savings
$8.00 in Coupons
After I submit my rebates, I will get back $6.99 from Rite Aid and $2.00 from the Manufacturer for the Stopain (whatever that is...) and $2.00 for the Tone Body Wash.
This means I spent a total of $4.42...WHAT?! And that was primarily for the toilet paper!!
Toilet paper and paper towels are really hard to find on a deal. By using my $5.00 off $25.00 and the $5.00 in Up Rewards, I barely had to pay for them!!
One of my main goals in couponing (and one I am constantly asking my husband to make sure I stick to) is to not be a slave to the "deal" and end up buying a bunch of stuff we don't need or won't use. I know I broke the rule when I bought the Stopain, but when you get paid $2.00 to try something, it's a little hard to avoid!! Maybe one day, I'll open my own store and sell this stupid Loreal Root Rescue too...
I was also able to control myself for our weekly grocery shopping trip at Giant Eagle. I spent $16.12 and I saved $10.72 which comes out to $1.34 per item. Not too shabby.
(I excluded the Lays Potato Chips that were a $3.00 special request from Jason. Funny thing is, he requested them and I ate almost all of them...doesn't he know better than to put potato chips in my house?!?!)
I am also happy to report that I have moved from an extremely rudimentary (and chaotic!) couponing system
To this fantastic little coupon organizer!! Thanks Mom!!!
