$12.63

Not bad for $12.63, huh? Rite Aid was having a really good deal on B1G1 items this week and there were coupons in the paper that corresponded with it that were ALSO B1G1...so it got you both items for free! I got all 4 packs of Stayfree for free (ironic, huh?). I got both of the Nivea lip care for free. I got the diapers for free. Everything else was discounted big time through rebates and coupons. If I hadn't had coupons and rebates, and if everything had been full price, it was a little over $75 worth of stuff. If you check out Jenn's blog you'll see that she got about $199.00 worth of stuff for $17. Actually she calculated wrong. She got it all for about $8 after rebates. Let's just say, I won't run out of pads any time soon! It might seem crazy to buy that many of one item, but with coupons that is kinda the whole point. The point is that they mark things down to their lowest prices about every 6-8 weeks. So, you use your coupons and buy as many of the item as you can to last you until the next time they go super cheap again. And, when something is free, why not get as many as you can?! In fact, if I can get my hands on some more of the coupons, I might go back and get more. I might come out of this not having to buy pads again for the rest of the year!! :-) My goal is to cut our grocery budget by $100 month....and things like this help me to do it. The things that I get for super cheap at Rite Aid are the types of things that used to drive my grocery budget way up when I would run out. You know how expensive cleaning products and over the counter medicines can be. We'll see how I do for the rest of the month.
