Did Someone Say More Cowbell? The Week I Contracted Rite-Aid FEVER!

I am a BIG FAN of Christopher Walken.
Have been for years!

As Christopher might say....
"I got a fever, and the only prescription is more Rite-Aid!"

After having made TEN TRIPS to Rite-Aid in 1 week, it's true....I'm a bonafide nut case!

Or.....
Maybe with the sales, the Manu. Qs, the weekly flyer Qs, the IPQs, the AdPerk IPQs, the Wellness Qs & the Game Of Life Qs, it was just the alignment of the planets,er....the Qs, to make this past week the Couponers Dream shopping opportunity at Rite-Aid.

So by Friday, I had already made 5 trips to Rite-Aid and finished my Kraft/Planters Nut Rebate Mission.
But I still had good Qs to use and things on sale that I wanted to buy. Plus some items the teens had requested. ;-)
I had some $3 off $15 purchase Wellness Qs and some $5 off $20 purchase AdPerks Qs left so I was off to do more transactions.

 *I had a $1 Maybelline AdPerks Q but it would have put me over my preQ total si I didn't use it. I miscalculated and flaked out at the register. ugh  If I had figured correctly I could have gotten something small(at least 69¢ worth)and paid even less than 33¢.  But all in all, paying 33¢ isn't so bad.lolol

  1. Wow! You are an inspiration! I wish I knew where my coupon organizer was!

  2. You lost me on the 2 Nature's Bounty vit Cs. I get using 2 of the $2 vitamin wellness Qs, but how did you use 2 Nature Made IQs with them as well as the 2 Nature's Bounty IQs? Aren't they actually different brands?

    I cannot wait to print out what you've done and give this a try tonight - wish me luck!!!

  3. I meant to say all the Qs were Nature's Bounty, no Nature Made. I'm going to fix that now.
    And don't go try this tonight! The BOGO sale on NB ended Saturday so even though you'll a deal on the vitamins, you won't get the same deal I got with one bottle being free.

  4. You are on fire! And you might be a bit crazy but it is said with a lot of love and just a hint of jealousy! Just keep working it! I'll be here all year to cheer you on!
