What I got free at Rite Aid

My heart belongs to CVS, but when Rite Aid has a good week, I can't stay away. Everything in this picture was free after rebate this week, totalling $39.95. But after coupons I paid $29.95, meaning Rite Aid is paying me $10 to take this stuff off their hands. Not too shabby for one trip to the store.

The whole drug store 'game' was introduced to me by my cyber-friend Jennifer who writes the blog Getting Ahead about frugal challenges as the mother of four. She sent me to Money Saving Mom where all the basics of how to understand the drugstore promotions to your benefit are explained in detail. CVS 101 lays it all out for the newbie. From there, you can branch out to Walgreens and Rite Aid. It's not for the faint of heart, but a fun challenge that can save you lots of money.

Thanks for the mention! The closest Rite Aid for me is about 30 mintues away, I ventrued there once and it was in a bad part of town and very dirty. I won't go back. I have been tempted to start going for the deals at Walgreens, I just don't know if I can handle it mentally. LOL
