Weis & Rite-Aid This Week

Considering there weren't many deals I wanted to do at Weis I sure spent like a drunken sailor on Wednesday there!

Here are the highlights from Weis......

I had gotten a $2.50 CatalinaQ for Nutella a couple of weeks ago so I got a jar for Xmas cookie making and it only cost me $1.09 after using that Q.

I also stacked a BOGOFree IPQ for those Hershey Cookie Layer Crunch things with a $2/2 Hershey Cookie Layer Crunch Weis bookletQ to get each bag of those for $1.00.
Reg. price was $3.99 each x 2=$7.98-$3.99-$2=$1.99 for both bags.

The Daughter's birthday was yesterday and she wanted Tiramisu instead of a reg. birthday cake so I paid $14 regular retail for that. ouch but she only turns 25 once, right? ;-)

I also got 5 1 lb. blocks of assorted cheeses for $3.47(rock bottom around here), 3 bags of chocolate chips($1.87 each) and a few packages of instant discount meats worth mentioning.

$91.09 OOP total for all and a 40% savings rate overall.

While I was at Rite-Aid picking up an Rx I bought this too.....

The Yoohoo, Snapple and V8 Energy drinks are .88¢ each this week(.80¢ if you have 20% Wellness discount level)and for every 2 you buy in a single transaction you get back $1 in Plenti Points.
Some of the bagged Dreamhouse candies/nuts are 50% off this week and also give back $1 in Plenti Points when you buy 2 in a single transaction.

3 x Yoohoo .80¢=$2.40
1 x Snapple= .80¢
2 x Jordan Almonds 50% off=$2.98
Total.....$6.26 + .15¢ tax=$6.41 using Plenti Points.

I earned back $3 in new Plenti Points so I spend down points by $3.41.
Other than some cheap drinks I don't see any "deals" at Rite-Aid through Christmas week.  Maybe some 50% candy and stuff after the 25th but that's about it.

Just waiting on hearing more details about this Bonus Cash thing that is replacing Plenti Points.  Not liking that I'm hearing they expire in 60 days instead of 2 years like PPs.  I think if I need to divest myself of PPs soon I won't be pillaging much at Rite-Aid after that.  8-(

Weis Markets Trip

I made a quick trip to Weis this morning to get 1 more Angel Soft TP pack to finish off the $5 SavingStar Rebate.
Of course they were out of it so I got a rain check and will pick it up next week and my $1/1 Q will still be good and that will finish of that rebate.

I got a few other things and spent $18.51 OOP.
Savings rate on the receipt says 56% but that is incorrect since on the rain check I cashed in for BOGOF flounder, she deducted the price of the second bag to get the price on my receipt right.
So I actually got $47.18 worth of regular retail groceries for $18.51 and not $42.54 the receipt shows.
Actual savings rate is 60.76% which I like even better.  8-)

Again, notice that everything I buy is AT LEAST on sale.  Some are marked down as much as 50% off and most of those I also paired a coupon with them.  In addition, I stacked a storeQ with a MANUQ for the chili.


I'll be going back to Weis(PMITA)Markets on Thursday when the new ad goes live to pick up a few things.  Very little is a good deal in MHO next ad and much of the ad is advertising Holiday goodies(which many are highly priced).  Mainly on Thursday I'll be checking out any meat discounts(as that is the day to find them)and get the Angel Soft if it's back in stock.  Friday they are having another Friday Only Deals Sale too.
