For Sonya's Viewing Pleasure

Cousin Sonya gets her jollies looking at my Rite-Aid pillaging so even though nobody else wants to see this, I indulge her now and again on the blog.

Here ya go Gurl!


Here is everything I brought home(at least I "think" this is everything)last week from Rite-Aid.  This photo includes 10 packs of baby wipes, 8 bags of clearance Epsom salts, 7 Nivea men's face products, 10 bottles of Vitamins/Supplements, 2 boxes of clearance hair dye, 2 packs of Preparation H wipes, 2 bags of dishwasher tabs, 2 bottles of spray disinfectant, 2 bottles of clearance Gray Away hair powder, 3 rolls of paper towels, 1 big jug of liquid hand soap, 1 bottle of clearance Eucerin lotion, 2 bottles of clearance Gain dish soap, 2 Kerasal foot masks, 12 big bags of candy, 2 Got2Be clearance stylers, 1 Got2Be clearance hair chalk, 4 Almay clearance cosmetic items, 5 Revlon clearance cosmetic items and 1 tube of clearance Mederma scar away.

Between all the Bonus Cash used and also used about half of a free R-A $50 gift card and all the BC earned back, Ibotta rebates, Coupon dotcom digital Qs monies earned back plus a whole .30¢ earned back on Swag Bucks on a roll of paper towels, I have "spent down" my BC/Gift Cards by $8.68.

This week there is a "Spend $50/Get $15 in Bonus Cash" Coupon Deal.  Supposedly there are 4 different coupon codes but I haven't found the 4th one yet.

Frugal Friday....the April 17th Edition

 Here are the frugal wins for this past week........


*  Well I lied last week.  We DID have Take-Out/Eating Out last week.  I totally forgot about going out for Hubs birthday to Outback. Duh!  The good news is we had an old partially used gift card for that place so one of us ate free. lolz  I only ate half my meal saving the other half for lunch the next day. ;-)

*  Because of the $10 off $50 Rite-Aid coupon there was a bit of R-A pillaging......



You can read all the details in previous blog posts I wrote on those trips if interested.

*  Last Saturday this arrived in the mail.........


A prepaid debit card with a refund of an overcharge from 2018.  Back then Daughter was still on our insurance and we were paying her co-pays and this is a refund for something they overcharged us for.  I'd prefer they sent a refund in the form of a check but I'll take this anyway.  I can add this to my food budget and leave the equivalent amount on this card in our bank account instead. 8-)

*  I found money!

Last Friday's trip to Walmart netted me this penny tucked under a magazine rack while I was checking out.


On the way home on Friday I treated myself to a Chalupa at Taco Bell(using a gift card).  I did a little stretching exercise to reach this penny on the ground in the drive-thru lane.  I got it without falling out of my seat in the car even though I have inordinately short arms. lol


On Monday I hit the trifecta of pennies at my Rite-Aid.  That brown floor mat in front of the register counter camouflages pennies it seems because I spied 3 of them when it was my turn to check-out.  Woot!!


While waiting to get my Covid shot at the R-A 80 miles north of here on Tuesday I found 4 pennies on a table next to the chair I was sitting in in the waiting area by the pharmacy.  I reached for them and snagged one then Hubs "penny blocked" me and wouldn't let me take the other three.  Nobody else was around and coming back for them as they were obviously abandoned as being worthless pennies.  Hubs gets embarrassed when I pick up change because as he says, "We don't need it!".  He thinks it's demeaning to pick up change. Silly rabbit!  I'll remind him he said that the next time he tries to beat me to a nickel laying under the Amazon lockers in Walmart! 
I should have told him I'd be right there when we left the store and then gone back for Abe's 3 little friends in the back of the store. ;-)

Total Change This Week.... .06¢
Total Change This Year......$2.46

That's about it for this week unless you count getting 2 free Covid shots in order to hopefully stay out of the hospital and not come down with this horrible illness.


What frugal wins did y'all have this past week?

More Rite-Aid & My Shot!

While I was waiting in Rite-Aid for my Covid shot on Tuesday(and then afterwards before they let me leave)I looked around to see if I could put together a transaction using that $10 off $50 Q.  And guess what?  I did!


4 x Caramels and Tootsie Pops on sale=$10.00
2 x 7th Generation wipes 20% Gold disc.=$7.18
2 x Got2Be styling items clearance=$3.98
3 x Almay eye shadow clearance=$6.72
2 x Nivea shave balm 20% Gold disc.=$12.78
2 x Nivea face wash 20% Gold disc.=$11.98
4 x R-A Epsom Salts clearnce=$2.56
SubTotal........$55.20

The only coupon I used was the $10 off $50 so the total was $45.20+$1.74=$46.94 paid for with Bonus Cash and a free R-A gift card.

I earned $15 in new BC($5 wyb2 7th Generation, $5 double dip on the candy bags, $5 wyspend $20 on men's Nivea).

I submitted to Ibotta and earned $21.20(2 x $1.50 Got2Be stylers, 2 x $1.75 Nivea shave, 2 x $2.85 Nivea face wash, 3 x $3.00 Almay eye), .75¢ Nivea Bonus and the $3 Mid Week Moneymaker Bonus so a total of $24.95 cash back.

$15+$24.95=$39.95 earned back so after converting some BC to cash I spent down the BC by $6.99.

Mission accomplished.

I'm feeling less fatigued today so thanks for all the well wishes.
Here's a bit of fun for your Thursday afternoon......

No Post Today & I Don't Know About Tomorrow Either

 I went to get my second Covid shot yesterday and got up this morning to it kicking my butt.  So I won't be posting today(other than this message)and we'll see about tomorrow.

I did want to share this clock at the bar Hubs and I stopped at afterwards for a bite of lunch.


I know the photo is fuzzy but I took it from across the room.  The numbers go from 12 to 1, not 1 to 12 and it runs backwards.  What looks like a few minutes before 9 is actually a few minutes before 3. lolz  I tell ya if you were drinking heavy in this place and looked up at that clock you'd be ready to see pink elephants next. 8-)))

Back tomorrow or the next day.  I'll be lounging in bed if anyone needs me.....
