I'm up $50! Thanks Rite Aid!

Today I had the last refill on 2 of my prescriptions transferred to Rite Aid. They have a coupon available in the ad and online for a $25 gift card for each Rx that you transfer from another pharmacy. So I was able to leave with $50 in gift cards! I don't shop often at Rite Aid because of the location, and I'm not a fan of their Single Check Rebate program, but I'm going to give it a shot, at least for the next $50 spent there. And the next time I have my Rx filled, I'll need a new script anyway, so back to CVS it will be.

There is a coupon here for $5 off of any $25 purchase.

So I have 3 days to get my act together (read: high value coupons!) and prepare for a trip, or two, or three..... the 10 coupon limit/day will mean more than one trip for me, hopefully. :)

Fuel Perks @ GetGo from Giant Eagle

Fuel Perks are the #1 reason that I do my primary grocery shopping at Giant Eagle. I earn $.20 off per gallon of gas at GetGo for every $50 I spend! Yesterday I redeemed $.80 per gallon (I have a 28 gallon tank, so it goes a long way). Printed at the bottom of my receipt was something pretty cool ~ "As of the first of this month, your 12 month fuel savings total was: $202.45" That is nice to know!

I <3 long grocery store receipts!

Especially when almost half of the receipt is coupons! Today's trip to Giant Eagle was a savings of 60% Soooo exciting! Regular price $167.77, and I spent $66.93. Just a couple stand-out deals:

• Super Pretzels - on sale for $1.67 and I had a $.75 Q that doubled, making them $.17 each (bought 4)
• Kraft dressing - on sale for $1.67 and I had a $1.50 Q, making them $.17 each (bought 5)
• Breyers yogurt - on sale for $.50 each, I had a $.50/4 Q that doubled, making them $.25 each (bought 12)
• Over the Moon 1/2 gallon of milk - on sale for $2.49, I had a $1 Q, making it $1.50
• Cool Whip - on sale for $1, I had a $1/2 Q, making them $.50 each (bought 4)

My freezers are STUFFED!

I also have $.60 off per gallon of gas at GetGo!

Memorial Day @ CVS!

Yup, went to CVS on a holiday to take advantage of their 2-day specials!
Purchased:

• Revlon nail polish $3.99 - $2 Q .......... rec'd $3 ECB
• Playtex tampons $3.99 - $1 Q ........... rec'd $3 ECB
• Clearasil face wash $3.99 - $1 Q ........ rec'd $3.99 ECB
• 2 boxes of Bandaids $4.58 .................. rec'd $4 ECB
• Maybeline concealer (on clearance) $2.99
• 5 large guaze patches (on clearance) $1.25

The last 2 items were fillers to get me to $20 so I could use my $4 off of $20 coupon. So really they were "free", and hubby needed some new dressing to cover the stitches from his surgery.

Used:

• $4 off of $20
• $12 in ECBs

Paid $.79 OOP! And received $14 worth of ECBs! Have one left over from a previous week, so I have $15 ECBs to spend. My receipt says that I saved $29.40, based on the shelf price of everything I purchased. :)

The Temple

For the past 2+ years, the only place I have gone to get anything done to my hair is The Temple.
It is a Paul Mitchell Partner School, which means it's cheap! The teachers are very hands-on, which makes me feel confident enough to keep going back. And the way I figure, even if I have a bad experience, I've hardly paid anything for it. (If you have a REALLY bad experience, they will not charge you at all!) So, $15 oop today (they don't accept tips!), and I'm mostly happy with it! ;)

The Coupon Queen

My mom told me about this article in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette:
Secrets of The Coupon Queen

The article also references the Select Coupon Program that this lady provides. I'm going to look into it and maybe give it a one month free trial.
