My 6/5 CVS Trip


Since I had to run to Rite Aid today to make $5 I decided to go ahead and pick up some FREE pain relief medicine at CVS. I have lots of ECB's so I also went ahead and used those to purchase my papers for the week. Here's what I did:

Purchase:
4 Newspapers $1.50 each
2 Excedrin 8 ct pain relievers on sale for $0.99 each
Total: $7.98
Use:
$3 ECB from last week
$2 ECB from last week
$1 ECB from last week
Pay: $1.98 plus tax
Get Back: $2.98 ECB ($1 for the 4th visit with my green bag tag and $1.98 for purchasing 2 Excedrin)

Total Out of Pocket: $1.98
Total Value: $7.98
Rewards Remaining: $2.98

Another easy shopping day in which I left with more money than I started with!

My 6/5 Rite Aid Trip


I was planning on taking today off from coupon shopping until I saw that I recieved a high value John Frieda coupon in my SmartSource today. Because of this I went ahead and did a quick trip. Here's what I did at Rite Aid:

Purchase:
1 John Frieda Full Repair Styler on sale for $4.99
Use:
$5/1 John Frieda Full Repair product
Pay: $0 plus tax
Get Back: $5 SCR

Total Out of Pocket: $0
Total Value: $6.99
Rewards Remaining: $5 that will come in a check at the beginning to mid July. Essentially, it's like I was paid $5 just for shopping at Rite Aid today!

My 6/1 Commissary Trip

I had a few RR that were going to expire soon and since there isn't anything at Walgreens I needed, I decided to make a trip over to the Commissary. They DO accept RR's since they say manufacture coupon on them and have a remit address. If you have any problems at your commissary I have a contact that I'd be willing to pass on to you who works for DECA and she'll be sure to straighten your Commissary out.

Unfortunately, I am unable to publish prices at the Commissary since the general public is not permitted to enter. However, I will share what I purchased and approximately my out of pocket costs below:

I purchased:
5 lbs of meat (3 lbs hamburger, 2 1lbs stew meat)
1 bag of salad
3 lbs of apples
1 huge watermelon
3 packages of 250 ct napkins
I used:
3 - $1 off Marcal napkins
6 - $3 RR from Walgreens
I paid less around $3 after my coupons and saved 85%
