So I needed to get a few things that I would need on this trip.
Diapers, bug repellant, wipes, swim diapers,
So I took the opportunity to get in on some of the deals at Rited Aid and Walgreens.
5 transactions later here is my Frugal Finds!
All of this WOULD have cost $176.92!
After sales and coupons it cost $90.22!
I had $32.48 in Gift Cards that I used bringing my OOP cost down to $57.74.
All of this for $57.74 Out Of Pocket!!
Even better is that I still have $6.00 in RR at Walgreens to use like cash
AND
I now qualify for the $25.00 Rite Aid Gift Card for their July Kimberly-Clark deal
and I qualify for the $2.00 Single Check Rebate for buying Huggies diapers, AND since I've now purchased 5 packs of Huggies diapers I also qualify for 1 FREE package of Huggies Diapers, thanks to Rite Aid!!
So I paid $57.74 OOP and am getting back $27 dollars AND a FREE pack of diapers from Rite Aid!

So Rite Aid basically PAID me to buy this stuff! =)
Sorry I did not post all the info about where I got the coupons.
I barely had enough time for this post, as we are leaving in under an hour.
{but my bags are packed, my house is clean, we're all dressed -sort of- and everyone's fed.}
If you'd like more info on the Rite Aid Single Check Rebates and a list CLICK HERE.
I got the vast majority of the coupons used in these transactions from the Sunday paper over the last month or so. You can perhaps search for the coupons HERE. You can also buy coupons on that page too.
See you in 10 days!
