Rite Aid Rookie Shop

I can't believe coupon has now become a verb in my vocabulary! So I've been "couponing" now for, oh, about a month I guess. It's been a learning experience. I have gotten frustrated a lot because I'll spend some time at home carefully putting together a deal scenario, only to get to the store and have it all fly out the window because I get distracted and put other things in my cart, the store is out of something that I was going to get, etc, etc. But today everything came together, not exactly perfect but I am pretty proud. This is what I bought.


All of the above rang up at $44 and some change. After coupons I ran my debit card for $10.87 and got back $5 in rewards to use on my next shopping trip. So basically $5.87 for ALL of the above. I'm getting better at this! And I have to give Seth a lot of credit, he is so very patient on our bargain hunting adventures. I just wish I could convince him that he should not chew on the shopping cart.

A word of caution about shopping at Rite Aid... if you're paying full price there you are paying too much. Knowing what I do now I would never shop there without matching a sale with a coupon every single time.
