I love the finer things in life, but........ I am also very frugal. I have stumbled across a site called moneysavingmom.com and I love it. She has links on how to shop at CVS, Wal-Greens, etc. So Monday I tried it at Rite Aid. Here are my results:
5 items purchased
Total spent= $22.31
Rebates on all 5 items= $16.98
1 Mail in Rebate=$3.99
1 coupon used =$3.00
Total spent after rebates and coupons=$1.34
So what did I get for $1.34:
Pert Plus 13.5oz Reg $4.19
GE Longlife Light bulbs 2PK $2.00
Gillete FSN razor $9.00
Charles Worthington Conditioner $4.99
Revlon Nail Polish $2.99
There was a lot more I could have got but ran out of time or the store was out of the item. It does take alot of time figuring out how to get the best deal. Clipping coupons will help tremendously in getting the best deals. For example, the Pert Plus was $4.19 with a rebate of $2 I also had a coupon for $3 off, the bottle had a mail in rebate of $3.99 so the shampoo ended up being a -$4.80. I MADE $4.80 off a bottle of shampoo. I just have fun seeing how much I can get for nothing and the rebate process is very simple. You just have to go online and pick the items you bought and put in info from your receipt and your rebate will be mailed to you in 2-3 weeks.

I got into this a while back...ya know when I had time to research bargains at work. I love moneysavingmom.com and there are soooo many blogs about serious CVSer's. I think some of these women are in a cult! I have to be careful not to "go broke saving money!"
Cary "thinks" I just buy some things because I have a coupon. Half the time that is so true. I did find myself wanting to go to Rite Aid and CVS several times last week, but I did talk myself out of it:) Thankgoodness I don't live too close to them.
I just found that site!! Don't you love it?! Now, I'm not driving all over creation "thinking" I got a "good deal" and worrying if somebody else had it any cheaper!!
Thanks for visiting my blog!!
