Shopping Results--Rite Aid

There are tons of freebies & moneymakers this week at Rite Aid.  I stopped by last night to take advantage of a few things I needed.  The transactions went pretty much as planned, with a minor hiccup because of a mistake I made.  But it all worked out great!

I paid $3.65 for $43.13 worth of products for a savings of over 92%!!!

Transaction #1

Samy Fat Foam(Hair Color) $8.99 (Reg. $9.99)

-(1) Rite Aid In Ad Coupon $6/1

-(1) $5/1 Manufacturer's Coupon

Final Price: $2.01 Moneymaker!!!!

**Since Rite Aid isn't going to give cash back,  I had to buy a few items to cover the overage.  Without $2.01 worth of extra items, the register would reject my $5/1 coupon.  So I bought Hand Sanitizer for a classroom donation!

Pretty awesome, huh?  Who can say no to FREE + Moneymaker hair color???  Not me!

If you are wondering, my mistake was made when I grouped all 4 hand sanitizers with one hair color in transaction #1.  I was supposed to buy 2 with each hair color, helping to cover the extra I needed to spend for the hair color coupon.  But I had a major brain fart and it did cost my a bit more out of pocket then it should have.  

My cousin Tina did the same deal yesterday afternoon and only paid $1.64 out of pocket for the same exact items!  Tina covered a few extra pennies that were needed by purchasing an individual chocolate covered cherry for 33¢!  These little cherries are a great go to if you need to cover a few cents.  Most Rite Aids have them, however the one I went to last night no longer does.

Live Frugal.  Live Happy.
