More Rite-Aid Hijinks on Tuesday

In between staying warm, dealing with the snow and nursing Chester(the poor guy had his nuts removed on Monday)I found time to run up to Rite-Aid for this...............

2 x $8.63 at 20% wellness discount=$17.26-$4/2 ManQ=$13.26+.80¢ tax=$14.06
$13.58 paid in BC and .48¢ put on my free R-A gift card.
I earned back $10 in BC for the Winter Skin Deal on this card.

I also earned $3.10 cash back at Ibotta for buying these 2 bottles(2 x $1.50 for the Gold Bond and .10¢ for buying any item).

Plus this purchase put me over $50 spend on "Beauty" products so I got my third one of these.......

Between all cash, gift cards, BC and store chits I am up $36.62 at this point getting ready to head into R-A black Friday sales.  And most of my earnings is in R-A gift cards and cash instead of Bonus Cash which means I don't have to worry about expiring BC.
I also have almost $100 in free R-A gift card left as well as all 6 of the $10 "Beauty" gift cards I earned in 2018 to spend.
8-)))

I control 4 Wellness accounts so technically I "could" earned as many as 8 "Beauty" Gift Cards with my "spending" before November 30th(if I buy certain items).  But I doubt I will try for that many as it is too much work mentally on Sluggy's old brain. ;-)

So that's what I've been up to lately.

Frugal Friday......the November 1st Edition

Sorry to be a day late on the Frugal Friday posting.
I do have a good excuse--Halloween night a tree fell on a power line down the road from us so we were without electricity for 18+ hours until almost 6 pm last evening. ugh.

A quick look around here to see what frugal stuff went on at Chez Sluggy this past week........

*  I ran Ibotta deals........

Finished off some Bonuses and regular Ibotta rebates this past week.
$32.14 in Ibotta rebates and $1 in SavingStar rebates so a total of $33.14 in cash rebates earned this past week.

* Remember that refund the Hospital sent me awhile back in July?

A medical co-pay overpayment I made.  the refund was in the form of a prepaid Visa card.
If you wanted the actual CASH back you had to request a check and then it would be another 4-6 weeks before seeing that.
So I dug the card out finally and took the card to my bank and did a cash advance and emptied that prepaid card.

* I had a $5 chit for Kohl's about to expire on Oct. 31st.  I went into my local Kohl''s last week but didn't seen anything worth buying that wouldn't have made me spend much actual monies out of pocket.  I went back this week and an item I eyed on the last trip in that was on the clearance table was marked down about.........

This tabletop fountain was marked down to $20 last week........

Now it was marked down again to $13.39.  I don't usually buy things for myself there but I had a 20% off Q+$5 chit so I got this.

It cost me $7.41 w/tax out of my WAM.
A $66.99 fountain? No thanks.
A $7.41 fountain?  Yes please! 8-)))

* I found money!

I found this slightly groddy quarter at the Weis in the town West of here last Friday.

I also found a change purse in that Weis.  Turned it into the Customer Service and the owner was standing there conducting some business and hadn't even noticed she dropped it.  The purse had her rent money in it and she couldn't thank me enough times to have it back. ;-)

And I found this quarter at Rite-Aid on Thursday right near the register.  Who drops a quarter and doesn't pick it up?!?! lolz

*  Some freebies at Rite-Aid..........

Pantene Shampoos and Conditioners, Olay body wash, Toothpaste and Dental Floss.
I'll pick up some more of this sort of thing today before the sale ends and finish out some of the various deals that stacked this week on P&G stuff.

* A new bank opened up in my town and they had an Open House last weekend.  I went in to look around, get some free food and maybe win a BMW they were giving away..............

Didn't win the car but I won this nifty coffee mug! lolz  I brought this chocolate covered rice krispies treat home along with a bottled water, a slice of nasty pizza(which Hubs ate, of course!lol)and a small container of bbq from a local bbq joint that opened up here.
The cue was good which is nice because we won a gift certificate for there at the church auction last month. ;-)

*  I sold something on eBay!

This throw blanket went for $32.  Better to sell it than have it sitting around my house for another ten years, right?  I made $22 gross on this sale(haven't figured out the net yet after fees, stupid fees).

That's about it for this week in my world.

What frugal wins did y'all come up with this week?
Tell us all about it!
