So I Went To Rite Aid Today...

...and I got all this stuff!!

I had a great shopping trip to Rite Aid this afternoon! I got almost everything I wanted, and will likely go back Wednesday when their truck comes in and get the three items I wasn't able to get.

I started this trip with $16,50 in UP+ Rewards from my awesome trip last week. Here's what I got today:

1 Scope Dual Blast Mouthwash

1 Crest Complete Toothpaste

2 Colgate Optic White Toothpaste

1 Hyland's Cough & Cold Medicine

1 Chloraseptic Throat Spray

1 Rite Aid Hand Sanitizer

1 Cepacol Throat Lozenges

1 Comtrex Cold & Sinus Medicine

1 Bayer Aspirin

2 Carefree Pantiliners

1 Blistex

1 Preparation H Totables

1 Burt's Bees Throat Drops

2 Luden's Cough Drops

Total retail value of all of the above items = $72.43

Total I spent = $3.39 + tax

Tax was $3.64 (more than my sub-total!), so the total amount I paid was $7.03! For more than $70.00 worth of stuff!! And all stuff that my family will use or I can donate!

To sweeten the pot, I still have $19.50 in UP+ Rewards to use for future shopping trips!!

Weight Watchers: Week 3

Today was our weigh-in for week 3 of Weight Watchers. I wasn't expecting great things this week, as I used a TON of my weekly points, and I was right. I only lost 0.4 lbs this week, but hey - it's still a loss! I am down a total of 8 lbs. in three weeks, so I can't complain! I have 15 lbs. to go to meet my goal weight.

My wonderful husband, on the other hand, rocked it this week with a 2.2 lb. loss! He's down a total of 14 lbs. in three weeks! Way to go, babe!

I plan on using lots of weekly points tomorrow - it's date night, and we're headed to Wasabi!! :-)

My CVS Trip Today

I had another great drugstore run today - this time to CVS! I was surprised that they had everything on my list, especially since it's already Tuesday. Usually, they are out of most of the good deals by Monday. I started out with $13.79 in Extra Bucks. Here's what I bought:

6 Dove Shampoos & Conditioners

1 Schick Hydro 5 Razor

1 Skintimate Shave Cream

2 2-pk Reach Toothbrushes

Total retail value of all the above items = $54.90

After the sale prices were applied and I used all my coupons and Extra Bucks from last week, I paid a total of $0.00 + tax! Yes, folks, that's ZERO DOLLARS!! I only paid sales tax for all of the stuff pictured above!

On top of that, I also received $13.00 in Extra Bucks to use on my next shopping trip!!

For those of you that doubt, couponing really does work! I am living proof!

My Rite Aid Trip Today

I am so super excited about my trip to Rite Aid this afternoon! The P&G insert this week had a super-high value coupon for Cover Girl - $8.00 off any 2 Cover Girl products! I use a ton of Cover Girl products! I bought 5 papers yesterday just for this coupon!

I started with $10.69 in UP+ Rewards from last week, and I bought the following:

4 Cover Girl eye shadows (in my favorite color!)

2 Cover Girl blushes (also my favorite color)

2 Cover Girl mascaras (again - favorite kind!)

1 pair of No Nonsense pantyhose

1 bottle of Pert Plus Shampoo

1 bottle of Scope Mouthwash

Total retail value of all of the above = $63.09

After the sale prices were applied and I used all my coupons and UP+ Rewards from last week, my total was only $0.42 + tax!! Forty two cents!!!

On top of that, I earned $16.50 in UP+ Rewards to use on my next trip!!!

And that, my friends, is why I coupon!
