Adventures In Rite Aid (With A Better Outcome)

I've been kind of hit and miss with couponing these days and even more so with the drugstore game.  Things really are just so busy lately, so I do what I can when I can.  And when I can and it works out, it makes me want to get serious about it again.  Especially this summer since I'll not have my babysitting income which we have really come to depend on. 

Anyway, a couple of weeks after my disastrous incident in Rite Aid, I decided to go back.  But this time I had Taylor and Kendall along as well, so I dropped them off with the younger kids at a local playground so that I could go ALL BY MYSELF to the store! 

I ended up with this haul worth just over $60 and paid only $9.01.  

Nice, huh? 

And even better was that it took me only about 15 minutes without all my "helpers" along.

I have missed couponing. It was so amazing when I could do it all the time, but it soon became so time-consuming (and added to the stress I'm under right now) that, coupled with the grief the RiteAid here was giving me (do any other RiteAids reject all internet-printed coupons these days?), and the fact that it seems like it is getting harder and harder to make couponing work anymore ("we don't accept buy one get one free coupons on buy one get one free sales", etc.) that I haven't done it seriously in months. Brent went to RiteAid a few days ago to get me a couple of packages of pull-ups for Katia and came back with $4 in +Ups and both of us were like, "What are those??" Ha ha!
