Rite Aid Trip 9/20

Rite Aid has a great SCR out on Kimberly Clark products. Unfortunately, the deal I'd set up failed due to lack of product. I'm going to have to go on Sunday, lol!

My First Publix Trip

Now that I have Rite Aid and Kroger down, I'm expanding my reach. This week, I tried shopping at Publix. I've heard great things about this store, since they have a lot of store coupons available. They're also a step above Kroger (think Walmart vs. Target), though that does mean their prices are bit higher as well. They seem to have a lot of Buy One Get One Free sales -- which are great for couponers! Publix starts their sales on Wednesday, which gave me lots of time to get my list together as the closest Publix makes a great after-church stop. The biggest issue I had was several coupons that would have saved me even more weren't in my inserts Sunday morning. It's super frustrating when that happens! Even son, everything was 50% off before coupons.

AMAZING deal at Toys R Us -- perfect for Christmas!

I just got back from Toys R Us. They have a great sale right now on lots of items (Buy 2 Get 1 Free) and on top of that, the above two games were on sale AND coupons came out as well. Here's what I did:

(3) Monopoly Games (sale: $7.99 reg. $12.99)
(3) Sorry Games (sale: $7.99 reg. $16.99)
-- B2G1F sale
-- (6) $4/1 coupons found here or in the USA Weekend in today's paper
Final cost: $7.96 for all 6 games ($1.33 ea. -- a savings of 91%)

Now to hope my nieces and nephews don't see this post! ;-)

I saved 94% at Rite Aid today!

Even though it's Saturday, I was able to find almost all the deals I had on my list. They were only sold out of one item (which is amazing), and then one item that I had a coupon for they don't carry yet. Still, I got over $80 worth of product for less than $5! Have I said that I love Rite Aid?

Airplane Price Check at Walgreens....

I always have very good "luck" at Walgreens. I read so many posts and comments on blogs about how awful Walgreens is with coupons -- it all depends on the staff, and more importantly, the manager. I've dealt with different people each time I go to Walgreens and my experience has been amazing. Today, I couldn't find several items on the shelf... it wasn't as if they were sold out, I couldn't even find the spot for them. I asked a manager and he went into the back room and found exactly what I needed. Yippee! So, major coupon/customer service kudos to Walgreens, 3900 Washington Rd, Martinez GA. You rock!

Rite Aid Trip 9/1

Happy September! It's not noticeably cooler yet, but that will happen soon enough, I'm sure. Today I had my list all drawn up only to find that they were sold out of some things I wanted. That's the first time this has happened, so I guess these deals were great enough that more folks jumped in and started saving! A few of these deals weren't mentioned in my circular, but I found them in the circular for the Atlanta area. When I called the store, I talked with the manager who said that the items should be on sale even if they weren't in my paper. I printed out the one page that had the three items I was interested in and she made the price adjustments today. Yay!
