Rite-Aid This Week.....Trip #1

I made a trip to Rite-Aid Sunday afternoon to try to get some Lypsyl, but I was too late.
Saturday evening I had gone in to pick-up a prescription and there were 4 Lypsyls in the lip care aisle.
By Sunday afternoon they were all gone. sniff.

So I had to redo my plan and here is what I got......

4 x Irish Spring Gear Body Wash on sale=$12.00
2 x Colgate toothpaste (Rain Check item)=$1.00
1 x Vaseline lotion(Rain Check item)=.99¢
1 x Mitchum Deo 20% wellness discount=$3.59

Coupon Total.....$19.10

$28.88-$19.10=$9.78
But it didn't add up to $9.78, it was $9.10 on the receipt.
I used the $9 in +Up Rewards I need to spend/roll this week before they expired and paid .10¢ OOP.

Obviously 2 Load2Card Qs came off but didn't "un" come off when the Qs for those products I used were scanned, so the cashier entered them manually anyway.

I have been over this receipt 10 times at length and nothing adds up correctly.
A head scratcher that's for sure!

I did receive back $8.25 in new +Up Rewards(2 x $2 Gear body wash wyb2, $2 wyb2 Caress, $1 wyb2 Carmex, $1.25 Glide).

I have $3 in +Ups expiring during next week's ad so I may not go back this week, except to check if anymore Lypsyl comes in.(I did get a rain check though just in case it doesn't arrive before this week's ad is done.)

And the manager confirmed for me that yes, the +Up Reward program is ending so there you have it from the horse's mouth.

OOP .10¢
Retail of products brought home $60.35

This Week on the Dining Table

The "The Boy is Home" Edition ........

Went to pick him up on Saturday.  Stopped at Quaker Steak & Lube for lunch.


For the next week we are an eating family of 3 again.  Fun.

 

Here's what was planned last week.......

1.  Beef Stroganoff, rice, veggie
2.  Salmon, Squash casserole

3.  Pasta with meat sauce, salad or soup

4.  Pork filet or Country Fried Steak(diners choice), Steak fries, leftover squash casserole
5.  Pizza, Salad

6.  Leftovers or Soup & fresh bread
7.  Ginger garlic duck & veggie stir-fry, rice

 

And this is what actually happened--

1.  Beef Stroganoff, rice, veggie
2.  Salmon, Squash casserole

3.  Pasta with meat sauce, salad or soup

4.  Leftovers
5.  Pizza, Salad

6.  Leftovers or Soup & fresh bread
7.  Ginger garlic duck & veggie stir-fry, rice

Everything went as planned except because of extra leftovers we didn't have the pork filets meal.

Last week I made 1 trip to the grocery store(but I have that last trip in Feb. on this month's tab), so I spent  $51.24 OOP on $104.74 worth of reg. retail groceries.  I had 1 transaction at Rite-Aid(but I have 1 trip after I closed out the books on Feb.)and spend $1.38 OOP on $59.06 worth of toiletries, so $52.62 total spending on $163.80 worth of products last week.

$52.62 spent of my $300 March food budget, leaving us $247.38 for the month.

Leftovers going into this week are asparagus/leek soup and ham/bean soup and 1 helping of squash casserole.

Here is the plan for this week.........

1.  Leftover Pasta with meat sauce, Collards
2.  Roasted Turkey Breast, Stuffing, Corn, Cranberry Glop

3.  Lasagna, Salad or Soup

4.  Pork filet or Country Fried Steak(diners choice), Steak fries, Veggie TBD
5.  Corned Beef, Cabbage

6.  Leftovers
7.  Leftovers or Take-Out

 

What I need to buy for this menu......celery, milk, cabbage and corned beef.  That should come in about about $14 but there are few things on special I want to pick up this week as well so I am figuring about $100 for all.  This also includes some snacks and foodstuffs for College Boy to take back to school with him.

If course my entire menu could end up being totally different from this plan if College Boy wants something different.  Yah, now that we only see him infrequently I tend to cook his favorites when he is home.  8-)

 

What is getting fixed and served at your house this week?    

Was last week's plan successful, did you go off plan or did you not even plan what was going to be eaten that week?

Any great deals on food at your stores this week?
