Pedialyte


I got 3 pedialyte for $1.39 each. Used a $1 walgreens coupon on each so brought my total down to $1.25 for 3!

Funny story.... I love putting walgreen managers in their places!!
they had a new coupon book that they put in my bag yesterday and in it was $1 off pedialyte. They had the bubble gum flavor on clearance for $1.39. So I went by this morning and got the rest of what they had which was 3.
The coupon wouldn't scan. So he proceeded to tell me that coupons don't work on clearance price items. I tried to explain to him that it don't matter if its on clearance or not, i'm purchasing this item, i should be able to use the coupon.
he was like it wont work, so i cant take it off.. So I was like okay, do you mind if i go back and get another kind of pedialyte that isnt on clearance? he said okay. so he rang it up, tried to use the coupon, surprise surprise, it didn't work!
so he had to manually enter the coupons.. HA!

Hello Everybody!!

I'm Back!! I'm sorry to be gone so long without updating! I've been busy busy busy lately!! I had a yard sale April 3rd and 4th. Made $950 dollars!!! WOOT!! Then I went on a road trip to visit family while my daughter was out of school on spring break. Then I discovered that I'm expecting #3. Which was a surprise!!
So today is the 1st time I've been able to back into the swing of things and get my deals going again. I went to Riteaid and Walgreens today.

Walgreens Order
2 - Pringles - $2/3
1 - one a day vitamin - $1.49
2 - Dawn Soap - .99 cents
1 - Edge $2.99

I used the following coupons
2 - .50 off dawn
1 - $1 off one a day vitamin
2- $1 off Pringles

Used a $3 RR and paid $2.97 on a GC. Then the RR for the edge didn't print out. So she just refunded my price of $3.20. Which was .03 more than I paid. And Sure enough, the RR popped out so she let me keep that! So profit of $3.03! Plus the ESR of $1.49 for the One a Day vitamin.


Next was Riteaid
Huggies Pullups - $8.99
Claritin - $9.99
sudafed - $7.99
Bengay - $6.99

Used the following coupons
$2 - Riteaid sudafed coupon

$3 - pull up coupon
$1.50 - Sudafed coupon

spent $22.84 on a GC from previous rebates.
Will get back $11 in SCR. I forgot to use a $5/$25 so i'm going to go back in and see if they would refund me the $5.
