Last Thursday, Friday and Saturday was the Black Friday Deals at Rite-Aid. Other than the grocery store, Rite-Aid is the only place I go Black Friday shopping. 8-)
For the purposes of full disclosure, I bought various gift cards on Thursday(along with all the Freebie and near freebie deals after Bonus Cash earned). The gift cards are ones I would have bought anyway and it's better for me to buy them at Rite-Aid and earned Bonus Cash than buying them at the grocery stores for piddly discounts on gas fill-ups.
I don't count the price of the gift card spending in my Rite-Aid purchases budget. The Bonus Cash earned from buying the gift cards is used to "pay" for my Rite-Aid plunder.
No actual cash was used in any of the following transaction, just Bonus Cash.
No point in laying out all the transactions at this point so I'll just do a synopsis of what I got and show photos of all the loot.
On Thursday I bought this on the Daughter's card.....
These 4 Kleenex were .37¢ per box after sale/Q/Bonus Cash earned.
These 2 Colgate toothpaste were -$1.39 for both after sale/Q/Bonus Cash earned.
These 2 Light bulbs were $0 each after sale/Bonus Cash earned/Ibotta rebate.
This 1 Colgate toothbrushes was -.33¢ after sale/In-ad Q/Bonus Cash earned.
These 2 Butterfingers were $0 each after sale/Bonus Cash earned.

These 2 Colgate toothpaste were -$1.75 for both after sale/In-ad Q/stacked ManQ/Bonus Cash earned.

This pair of ear buds was $0 after sale/Bonus Cash earned.
These 2 packs of Duracell batteries were $2.00 per pack after sale/Qs/Bonus Cash earned.

These 2 Hair ties were $0 each after sale/Bonus Cash earned.
These 2 pair of ear buds were $0 after sale/Bonus Cash earned.
These 2 Butterfingers were $0 each after sale/Bonus Cash earned.
These 2 packs of Duracell batteries were $2.00 per pack after sale/Qs/Bonus Cash earned.
I also bought a bottle of Pepto-Bismol(not pictured)per Hubs request, which after 20% Wellness discount/In-ad Q/stacked ManuQ cost me $4.43 in BC.
The Kleenex purchase also triggered a $20 Bonus Cash earned on my Allergy Rewards for this card. 8-)))

In addition to the rebates above I have now earned a $5 Saving* rebate for buying over $25 worth of fragrance sets and an additional $1 Ibotta Bonus rebate for buying 3 qualifying Neutrogena items in this transation.
Lastly, on Saturday I also bought this on my son's card........
