Frugal Shopping

Jenny over at CJ and Family inspired me to share my latest Rite Aid trip with you.  Last month I earned a $20 Up reward for buying $100 worth of participating products.  We figured I only actually spent a quarter (if that!) of the $100 because I combined coupons with the sales and applied for rebates!  I needed to use it by the end of this month in one transaction so this week looked like the best deals for what we needed.  Here is what we got...

*2 boxes of Glad trash bags
*2 boxes of Band-aids
*2 Neosporin To Go
*2 boxes of Ziploc
*2 packages of pantyhose
*1 box of Puffs tissues
*Revlon eyelash curler
*Revlon nail clippers
*Little Noses saline spray
*Lypsyl chapstick
*M&M's Pretzel
*2 Reeses (not pictured) for filler so I could use one of my UP's

Total: $42.28  (I don't even want to think about what it would have been before sale prices!)

I only paid $4.45 after coupons and UP rewards and got back $6 to use on my next trip plus I submitted for $2 in rebates!
Thank you Rite Aid!

Also, while my Mom was here we received our huge order of tuna!  Amazon had a great deal and my stocking-up, preparedness-loving husband said we needed 3 cases!  I am still trying to figure out the best place to store them but until then Jack is having lots of fun.  His favorite toys stack (blocks, legos, ring stacker, etc.)  so that is what he has been doing!

Such concentration!

I think he is pleased, don't you?!

"Thanks for buying me these fun toys, Mom!"

Another day of fun!

That little kid's chair was purchased by my Mom for Jack...$5 at the thrift store!

It is turned around because he quickly figured out how to climb on and stand up on it, ugh!

Isn't frugal shopping fun?!  

Oh by the way, does anyone have any yummy tuna recipes? :-)
