Well it is of course Sunday and that means my shopping day. I got up early this morning and left before Ajax got up and hit up – Meijer, Rite Aid and Kroger. I’m a maniac! I didn’t snap a picture of my Meijer trip, but I spent $43 and saved $50 (this is more than I had planned on spending, but I’ll be in D.C. next week for a conference and wanted to make sure there were quick dinners/snacks in the house for Dave, Dara and Ajax).
Rite Aid –
Purchased – 4 packs of Stayfree (buy one get one free), 4 John Frida hair care products (4 for $20), 1 pack of Pampers (clearance price – $5.99) – in total $34. After coupons I paid $8.67 and received $10 toward my next purchase. So I made $1.33. This would have been a bigger money maker had I not bought the Pampers, but ya know – gotta have ’em!
Purchased – 1 family pack of Luv ($15.99), Coppertone suncare ($8.99), Natural Instinct hair dye ($7.99), Crest toothpaste ($2.99). My total was $35.96. I used the $10 from above and coupons and paid $10.82. I got $8 back and Rite Aid will mail me a check for$4.99…. so I made $2.17 with this transaction.
Kroger –
Purchased – 2 Gillette body washes (buy one get one free), Batman bandaids (awesome… and on clearance for $1.59), and Nexcare medical tape ($1.04). In total $11.61, after sales/coupons I paid $1.12. Since I took back bottles from our BBQ ($9.70), I actually paid nothing out of pocket and got money back. Cool.
