Rite Aid + CVS Shopping Trips (01/13/10)
Rite Aid is one of the stores that you should never walk into without printing a $5 off of XX coupon. They are on their websites all the time too- I have a prescription there- so I went in and bought a few things.
Total in picture: $8.14 Out of pocket
Rite Aid:
Cottonelle Fresh Wipes tub $1.99
Cottonelle Fresh Wipes tub $1.99

Coupon Total: $17.50
Total paid after coupons:
$2.79 + $0.83 tax = $3.62
Yet again, if I had a calculator with me, I'd have spent way less. This time around though- I didn't know how they were going to handle the Benevia. She ended up giving the one they had on the shelf to me for free- and I got a raincheck on the BOGO for when they come back in stock.
I'd have skipped one of the lipsticks and paid $2.23 less if I had planned it out better.
But, not too bad of a shopping trip.
I also received eight "Game of Life" tickets. The cashier also said "that's how you roll" to me. She was older, and white- so it sounded really funny. Loved it.

I was hoping still that the Loreal discounted makeup would count towards the "buy $15 Loreal makeup and get $5 EB back", but it didn't. :(
I was $0.60 cents away from having my $5 EB print for the Aussie deal. I'll need to buy one more bottle of shampoo to get $5 back.
I spent $4.52 total with tax at CVS. ($3.44 + $1.08 tax)
According to the receipt, I saved $68.55 at CVS. I find that laughable- who's spend over $70 on that? Not me!!
