Rite Aid Deal and Transaction Scenarios 10/23 to 10/29

2011-10-22T23:05:00.002-04:00

New to Rite Aid shopping? Visit the RiteAid page for more information.

All my scenarios will reflect my personal goal to either make money or at least not to have spent any at the end of the month - after I get my Single Check Rebate, Rite Aid gift cards, and/or MIR checks.

**Unless otherwise indicated, there is a limit of one single check rebate per item.

I wanted to say a BIG thank you to Cornelia in WA for the encouragement last week, and to all of you who have left me little notes along the way. : ) I put together these scenarios because without them, I'd be lost at the store. But I post the scenarios because of you. So many of you have told me that they have been a help to your families as well.

There has been a lot going on at my house the last couple of weeks. (I'm sure you have noticed the major drop in posts.) We had the opportunity of all getting sick together 2 weeks ago. : ) Then last week we had the chance to accompany our soon-to-be son to court for a hearing. The hearing was scheduled for 11 am, but didn't get heard until 4 pm (and got out around 6 pm). While it was a very long day, looking back I'm very thankful for the long hours sitting in the courthouse. We had the chance to meet our foster (soon-to-be) son's birth mother and two of his older sisters. As expected everyone was noticeably nervous and things were a little awkward. But hour after hour of sitting staring at each other in the courthouse really alleviated some of that tension. We came up with things to talk about. We watched each other interact. We had time to try to build some bridges. We left with our soon-to-be son's birth mom telling my husband that she was glad that we were the foster parents for her son, because she couldn't have picked a nicer family to take care of him. I know that had to have been hard for her to say. Like I said, I am thankful for the hours we spent at the courthouse.

This week was also very busy, but not quite as interesting for all of you. : )

Anyway, if you begin to wonder where I am, just know . . . I am still here and I will have the scenarios up soon, but we have had a lot going on . . . too much to mention.

2011-10-01T23:07:00.001-04:00

New to Rite Aid shopping? Visit the RiteAid page for more information.

All my scenarios will reflect my personal goal to either make money or at least not to have spent any at the end of the month - after I get my Single Check Rebate, Rite Aid gift cards, and/or MIR checks.

This week there are just too many deals to be had at Rite Aid. It's a have to go week. In addition, I keep finding more myself.

Giant Eagle: Coupon Matchups 9/29 to 10/5

2011-09-29T09:31:00.000-04:00

Giant Eagle's ad runs from Thursday to Wednesday.
My GE doubles all coupons up to $0.99.
Don't forget to load your GE card with Giant Eagle's EOffers and with e-coupons from Shortcuts andCellfire. (If the same coupon is on more than one site, only load one at a time. After you have redeemed/used the first coupon, then go back and load the next. If you load both to your card, you will loose one of them. Also, don't load more than 45 eCoupons/eOffers to your card. For some reason your card will malfunction when there are more than 45 eCoupons on it at any one time.)
Be careful with the CAT deals. If you do two of the same CAT deals in the same transaction, the CAT may not print. Check your ad to make sure that you separate like CAT deals into separate transactions.

There are some good deals to be had a Giant Eagle this week. Make sure that you get out early (like today or tomorrow) as there are a lot of coupons which expire in the next couple of days.

Pittsburgh Area Fresh Produce Picks: September 22-27

2011-09-22T17:25:00.000-04:00

Because of all the "stuff" that has gone on with my family this year . . . my garden is pitiful. : ) So, I decided to try price matching at WALMART! So far it has been working wonderfully!! It couldn't be any easier. : )

(NOTE: Make sure you pay attention to the Walmart prices! Sometimes they are cheaper than any of the grocery stores.)

Steps to a smooth transaction:
1. Tell the cashier up front that you will be price matching the fresh produce.
2. Lay out each ad that you will be using on the belt (with the advertised produce side facing up).
3. Place the produce on top of the corresponding ad.
4. Cashier picks up the produce and the ad to match at the same time.

Once again, I put together a spreadsheet listing all the fresh produce in the ads (the ones that I have - Giant Eagle, Shop 'n Save, Aldi, Foodland, Khun's, Save a Lot, and BiLo) this week. I've listed out all the prices for the produce so that you can easily see which store has that item advertised and where it is the cheapest. You can then either shop the store(s) of your choice or you can take your whole stack of ads to Walmart and have them price match the lowest advertised prices for all the items.
(NOTE: If you didn't recieve the above ads in the mail, just print off the add from the linked websites above and take that into Walmart. As long as the sale dates show up on the print out, Walmart will honor the ad. Also, make sure that you do not print any of the ads before they officially begin in the stores as most of the time the ads are not posted/updated on the stores' websites until the day the items go on sale in the store.)

Produce Picks Sept. 22-27

By the way, I'm open to adding more stores if anyone wants to either volunteer, suggest a store, and/or figure out how to get me an ad for that store.

Today 40% Off at Cardstore.com; Tomorrow 30% Off; Monday 20% Off

2011-09-22T14:35:00.000-04:00

Coupon Code CSBTC11 is valid for 40% Off sitewide. Tomorrow, the discount drops to 30% Off and on Monday the discount drops to to 20% Off. Finally expiring on 9/27. This is the best time to save on Party Invitations and Christmas Cards.
