Last of the Shopping This Week

With snow due in on Saturday *Update--we got 5 inches so far* I finished my shopping for the week on Friday.

First I took some Qs and my $10 off your next order catalina I earned earlier this week and bought all this at Weis.........

4 x Barilla pasta on sale .88¢=$3.52
3 x Spaghetti-o's on sale .88¢=$2.64
1 x Weis sour cream=.88¢
4 x Musselman's apple sauce cups on sale=$5.48
3 x Oreo cookies on sale=$5.91
1 x Pretzel rolls 50% off=$1.49
SubTotal............$19.92

Coupons Used
2 x .75¢/2 Barilla pasta IPQ(coupons dotcom, doubled to $1)=$2.00
2 x .75¢/2 Musselman's ManuQ(doubled to $1)=$2.00
2 x .50/1 Oreo's IPQ(coupons dotcom but I think they are NLA, doubled to $1)=$3.00
Coupon Total......$7.00

$19.92-$7.00=$12.92
I used the $10 Catalina and paid $2.92 OOP.
The Spaghetti-o's purchase will earn me .40¢ back in my Saving Star account. ;-)

Savings rate of 92%.
$36.85 reg. retail worth of items.

The Spaghetti-o's and the cookies are for College Boy(except the pumpkin spice ones are for me ), the applesauce is for Hubs' lunches, the pasta & sour cream are for the stockpile and the rolls were for dinner last night.

Then I had $4 in +Ups to spend/roll at Rite-Aid before Saturday night so I got this stuff.....

5 x Palmolive dish liquid on sale $1=$5.00
2 x Nature Made Vitamin C BOGO=$7.69
SubTotal.....$12.69

Coupons Used
4 x .25¢/1 Palmolive dish liquid IPQ(coupons dotcom)=$1.00
1 x $7/1 Nature Made item ManuQ(mailed to me)=$7.00
Coupon Total.....$8.00

$12.69-$8.00=$4.69 + .20¢ tax=$4.89
I used $4 in +Up Rewards and paid .89¢ OOP.

I earned $1 in new +Up Rewards($1 wyb 5 Palmolive).

After Qs and +Ups earned the dish liquid comes out to .60¢ a bottle(if you don't pay with +Ups)and the vitamin C bottles were .69¢ for 2.....that's all before sales tax of .20¢ here.

My next batch of +Ups expire 1/29 so I'll be going back to Rite-Aid early next week.  I've got about $30 in +Ups to spend/roll then.

After looking at next week's ad online I am figuring my trip will include facial cleaners and shampoo and maybe some snacks(it's Super Bowl deals time)like frozen pizzas and chips(for Hubs).  We'll see once the new Video Values come out after midnight and we see how they will pair with the available Qs and sales ad.

Did you get any great deals at the stores this week?

I Went Back to Rite-Aid!

I had $48 in +Up Rewards expiring this Saturday I earned from my trips to Rite-Aid 2 weeks ago.
And the eBay buyers were driving me batty today so after dropping a package at the UPS location I popped over into Rite-Aid to see what I could score......

$60.74-$18.99=$41.74

I used $41 in +Up Rewards to pay and put the .74¢ on my free Rite-Aid gift card.
I got $15 in +Ups back($2 Alka-Seltzer, $3 Baking Supplies, $2 Sucrets, 2 x .50¢ Pure Silk shaving cream, $2 Duracell, 3 x $1 Mentos rolls, $1 wyb2 Monster drinks, $1 wyb2 M&Ms).
I qualified for $1 SCR(Duracell).

I have $48 toward the $50 needed to get the $10 Saving Star +Ups this week.  I bought $50.74 worth of Saving Star items above so some thing or things didn't register though they had a shelf tag with the STAR on it! Grrrr

So I bought 2 jars of Jif peanut butter, which are Saving Star items this week and some more Mentos.....

 Transaction #2
2 x Jif PButter on sale $2=$4.00 *counts toward Saving Star
6 x Mentos rolls on sale 3/$2=$4.00 **rang up $3.99
Total....$7.99

I used the rest of my expiring +Ups, $7 worth and put the .99¢ on my Rite-Aid gift card so Zero OOP.

I got back $14 in +Ups....the $10 wyb $50 of Saving Star items, 1 x $1 Mentos *** and another $3 wyb $12 in Baking Supplies.

The limit on the Mentos +Ups is evidently 4 $1 ones.  Instead of 3 x $1 when I bought 6 this time, I only got 1 and the message "You have received the maximum number of +Ups for this item".

***The surprising +Up was the $3 Baking supplies one.  I have only bought $18 total in qualifying items for this $3 wyb $12 +Up. (You can do this one twice, so spend $24, get 2 x $3 +Ups.)  But I got a second $3+Up at $18.  Hmmmm.....

To recap.....
I rolled all $48 in +Ups, spent $1.73 on my gift card, will receive $1 in SCRs and have $29 in new +Up Rewards that expire on 12/24.

And I got all the stuff above and didn't spend a penny in cash.

I got a raincheck for the Brita pitcher(they were out)and I'll check some other Rite-Aids for more $50 Home Improvement Gift Cards(they were out) on Saturday.

****The Free John Frieda home mailer from Rite-Aid arrived yesterday in my mailbox....just in time to use it this week to get $ credited toward the Saving Star total since the JF hair color is a qualifying item this week.  Thanks Rite-Aid for some good timing for a change. ;-)

The funny thing today was when the Asst. Manager came up to me and asked me if I had been sick or something.....because she hadn't seen me in the Rite-Aid for months and she was worried about me.  She had been asking all the staff if they had seen me lately and when nobody had, she had gotten worried.  What a sweetie!  I told her I was sorry I didn't let her know I was taking a break from deal hunting and the next time I did, I'd let her know. ;-)
Well it's nice to be missed.....I think.lol
