My Shopping Trip

Earlier in the week I took my coupon binder out for a test run.  Right now, our Smiths (Kroger) is having an awesome sale.  Here's what I got...

All of that for $27!!

Here's how it worked out...

The Quaker Quakes were on sale for $.49 each. I bought 10 of them. There are 75 cent off coupons out there, which would make these money makers, but I only had one.  I still bought a bunch because that's a pretty good price for a tasty snack.

3 Packs of Finish Dishwasher Power Balls.  These were on sale for $2.99, but I had 3 $2.50 coupons.  See how this works when you match up coupons with sales?

1 Purex 3-1.  This was an impulse buy because it was on clearance for $3.50 and I had a $1 off coupon.

10 packs of Kraft cheese.  These were on sale for $1.50, but there are printable Kraft coupons for $1 off of 2.  You can find it here: Coupons

I also got 3 boxes of Nabisco crackers, 3 packs of Toaster Strudels, and a can of Rotel for dirt cheap with coupons.

After that, I was off to Target.  My poor husband had an ear infection earlier in the week which required a few prescriptions.  Those paired up with a prescription Carter needed got us $40 in gift cards. The copays on the prescriptions only ended up being about $20, so this was a pretty awesome deal.  Here's what I got for Jovie for only $8 after the gift cards...

Now, if I had gotten this last week we would have gotten it on sale where we would have gotten another $20 gift card back, but Michael didn't need prescriptions filled then.  That's how we roll!

Need a free $50?

I just got back from Rite Aid, and let me just say that if you have prescriptions that need to be filled, you might want to check this out.  There were two coupons in their Sunday ad.  Each one was for a free $25 gift card if you transfer a prescription to their pharmacy.  My little guy has plenty of prescriptions, so I took advantage of this deal. It was easy as pie.  I just walked in, told them I needed some prescriptions transferred, gave them some info, and came back to pick them up.  Now I have $50 in Rite Aid gift cards. Woohoo!  There is an added bonus in this deal.  They also gave me a coupon book that not only had a bunch of really good coupons, but it also had two more of the prescpription coupons in them.  They don't expire for another month, so it will give me plenty of time to transfer a few more.  I figure I can transfer them back to my preferred pharmacy later. 

There's also a printable Target coupon for a free $10 gift card on new or transferred prescriptions which can be found here: Target Prescription Coupon
