Challenge Tuscan Butter - FREE @ Safeway

If you're headed to Safeway today or tomorrow go ahead and take this coupon with you and get some FREE Tuscan Butter.  This butter has garlic and herbs in it and it's spreadable.  It would be great on garlic bread!  The butter is on sale for $1.99 at Safeway until Tuesday, March 1st and the coupon is for $2 off of one butter.  Voila...free butter!

You can obtain the coupon by going to Challenge Butter's Facebook page.  Be sure to "like" them and then allow them to access every bit of personal information possible in your profile and then print your coupon.  Be sure to go back and "un-like" them after you print the coupon if you don't want them to continue to have access to your personal information.

Go here for the coupon (to print two copies of this coupon make sure you "right-click" on your mouse after the first coupon prints and then select "back," and then "right-click" again and select "refresh)!"  This was the only way that I was able to print two copies.  Do not hit your "back" button on your browser or else you won't be able to print the second coupon.

Rite-Aid, 2/27-3/6

Did a quick shop with two of my favorite folks (Kelley and Jerilyn).  This was a slow week at Rite-Aid so we mostly spent time in the store talking about how to calculate the totals for our shop and how to save the most money by shopping when items are at their lowest pricepoint.  I love both of these girls and it was such a priviledge to spend time with them.  Hope you guys learned one or two things that will stick with you!

2ND UPDATE: Rite-Aid, 2/20-2/26

It's all about babies this week at Rite-Aid! 

If you have a baby or you need baby gifts for some of your friends then this week is for you!  The diapers, ointment, q-tips, baby lotion and baby washes are all on sale.  I picked up a few baby washes for my little one and then bought a few for gifts.  What a wonderful week at Rite-Aid!  I purchased the Purex sheets thinking that they were on sale but, alas, they are NOT on sale in the Northern California region.  I will have to take them back next week!

L'OREAL YOUTH CODE KIT DEAL : If you are going to do the Loreal Youth Code deal then make sure that you don't use your 20% wellness discount.  You can use a 10% discount though and this will make it a nice little moneymaker.  If you don't have a discount then it is still a $3 moneymaker!   UPDATE: Just checked my receipt and my 20% discount rang up so I can't submit for the $10 rebate. I've also heard that others have reported that the item is ringing up at $29.99 so you will have to buy two products if you want the submit them for the $10 rebate here.  I used the product tonight and I really like it (especially the eye cream).  It works pretty well.  I love getting free skin care products from couponing.  So fun!  I may go out tomorrow and try and find two of the kits in stock and do the scenario again so that I can get the $10 mail-in-rebate.  If they don't have them in stock then I will get a rain check and do the scenario next week.   3RD UPDATE: I went back today and purchased two more kits and threw in an eye shadow just in case they had adjusted the UP Rewards (four $5 UP Rewards were printing even though people were only spending $59.98 out of pocket). 


ROLLING UP REWARDS: I rolled all of my UP Rewards and didn't pay any tax out of pocket because I still have money left on my Rite-Aid gift cards.  I only have a $5 UP reward left so I will have to start building my UP Rewards again.  UPDATE: Returned the Purex 3-in-1 sheets and used the merchandise return credit to pay for the L'Oreal kits.  Ended up with $25 UP's at the end of my transaction so I'm in business again to do some deals next week.



PULL-UPS: Anna, I picked up some more pull-ups for you!  I used the rest of your Winter Reward from buying the balloons (yes, it finally printed) to buy these so if you don't need them then you can return them for cash and buy something else.

3RD UPDATE: Rite-Aid, 2/13-2/19

My landlord had a handyman at the house today fixing some things so I decided that it was a good time to head out and do my shop.  Everything was in stock again (so weird right)?  I was totally expecting to have to get several rainchecks but I found everything I was looking for.  I think the stores in my area are slow to stock their shelves so that may be why I continue to find everything in stock even though it is Wednesday.

I thought that I was going to get my $20 Winter Reward today since my balance was $99.88 the other day on my receipt but it never printed.  For some weird reason it is now showing that I am only at $85.70 (even after 3 more transactions).  I really can't quite understand why their receipts will show that you are close to getting your reward and then a few days later they will show a different amount.  I wonder if it would have printed the other day if I had just added a $1 item to my cart.  Oh well, I'll have to test this theory at a later date.

NOTE: I still had a balance on my gift card from my last return so I used it to pay tax on my transactions.  I also just received $55 in rebates from Rite-Aid and will be converting this money to a gift card to pay for my tax on future transactions. UPDATE: Still had a balance on my gift card so I only paid $.80 cents out of pocket.

NOTE: I was hoping to get back an additional $5 UP Reward on my Vick's Humidifier but I didn't calculate that deal correctly.  The cost of the humidifier was only $21.19 after my 20% discount and my raincheck (which took $10 off).  You have to spend $30 to get the $5 UP Reward this week and I only spent $21.19.  Oh well, it was still a good price and I really needed one.  I've decided to just throw out my old humidifier from year to year because some of them get too moldy and you can't clean them properly.

Rite-Aid, 2/6-2/12

I headed to my new gym this morning to fit in a post-breakfast workout.  I just joined a new gym that is only .8 miles from my house.  For my friends with children you KNOW how amazing this is.  This basically means that I can walk out the door and drive less than a minute to my gym and drop my children off at the in-house daycare and get a workout and get back home within an hour. 

I decided to venture out after my workout to see if I could fit in a quick shop.  My hubby is working late nights over the next few months and if I am going to head to Rite-Aid I am going to have to take my children with me.  So, off I went.

For the third week in a row I am amazed that my Rite-Aid was well-stocked.  The only thing that they didn't have in stock were the Betty Crocker Cookie mixes.  I will try and find some tonight when I head out with my friend Anna.  In the meantime, I found some pretty good deals.
