Dollar General & Rite-Aid Last Saturday

On August 1st I made a quick run to the Dollar General Store in town and tried to put together a transaction to use my $5 off $25 Coupon.  I've been watching some YouTube DG vloggers to see what would be free or cheap using mostly digital DGQs.

Of course my store didn't have certain of those free/cheap after Q products or I didn't get certain DG digital Qs so I had to make it up as I went along.

Let me add that Ex-College Boy had moved out the previous day taking with him a portion of my stockpile for him and his new apartment mate.  Mostly it was foodstuffs we don't eat(or only eat sporadically)but he also took a part of my toilet paper and facial tissue stockpile(the boy can go through paper goods like nobody's business!lol)so I was looking for a deal on tp especially.

Here is what I got...........

3 x Scott 12 roll tp $5=$15 *$3 off Instantly when you spent $15 on Kimberley-Clark paper goods so it was $12 total

2 x Rice Chex boxes $2.25 ea.=$4.50

3 x select GM cereals $3 but $2 ea. wyb3=$6.00

1 x Ivory body wash aloe scent=$1.50

1 x 32 pack Arm and Hammer laundry pods on sale=$3.95

2 x travel size Head and Shoulders $2 ea.=$4.00

SubTotal...$31.95 *with the tp instant discount*

Coupons Used

1 x $5 wyspend $25=$5.00

1 x $1/2 GM cereals DGQ=$1.00

1 x $1/2 GM cereals IPQ=$1.00

1 x $1.25/1 Ivory body wash DGQ=$1.25

1 x $2/1 Arm and Hammer laundry pods DGQ=$2.00

1 x $3/2 Head and Shoulders DGQ=$3.00

Coupon Total........$13.25

*And $16.25 with the $3 Instant Discount on tp*

$31.95-$13.25=$18.45+.45¢ sales tax=$18.80

I restocked on tp and cereals(the Reese's will go to the local food bank or Ex-CB), the little Head and Shoulders were .50¢ each and will be stocking stuffers come Xmas, the 32 pack of laundry pods was a great deal at $1.95 after DGQ(the smaller 17 ct. packs were the same price after DGQ!) and the body wash was .25¢ after DGQ(some stores this body wash is only $1.25 reg. price but not mine so it might be free after Q at your store).

I didn't get the Bic pencil DGQ that would have made those free, and my store doesn't stock the $1 Denta Life dog sticks I had IPQs that would have made those free, the 7 oz. Dawn for $1 that would have been 75¢ after DGQ or the $1 Crest variety that their $2/1 DGQ was attaching to which made it a $1 moneymaker.

But I think I did ok considering 3 big packs of tp! ;-)

Then I went to Rite-Aid for a quickie...........hehehe

4 x Cold-Eeze drops 75% off(reg. $8.49)$2.12 each=$8.48

I used 4 x $2/1 Cold-Eeze IPQs from their website so $8 off, making my total .48¢ which was paid with Bonus Cash.

Hubs loves this stuff for when he gets colds in the Winter so we are well supplied now.

Lots of cold and flu OTC meds are on clearance at R-A right now.

It seems like they are slowly resetting all the shelves at Rite-Aids, department by department this Summer so check out all the clearance in your store.

That's the extent of my shopping so far this month.
