2ND UPDATE: Rite-Aid, 3/27-4/2































I made a special trip to Rite-Aid tonight to get the Tangled DVD/Nexxus deal.  I'm not sure what I was thinking but I was surprised that they were stocked out of the movie.  I guess I figured that they would have a huge display with the Nexxus and the Tangled movie on the end cap. 

I couldn't have been more wrong...  

When I finally found the tag for the movie I realized that they probably had only stocked 3 or 4 of the movies for the whole store.  I thought that was a little strange.  I talked to the cashier and he told me that Rite-Aid doesn't even order the movies that come to the store.  They come via a different vendor and are shipped UPS.  They weren't sure when they would have more in the store but I asked for a raincheck anyway.  I had worked out a scenario to get the Nexxus and movie for free so we'll see what happens when I go back for my raincheck next week.  

Hope some of you were able to get the movie this week.  It is a really fun movie!

UPDATE: I called my secret weapon store to find out if they had the Tangled movie in stock.  The cashier initially said that they didn't receive the movie.  I asked her if she thought they might have some in the back because I had been searching for the movie for a couple of days.  She put me on hold and came back and told me that she had "found them."  Yahoo.  I asked her to hold a copy for me and I made a special trip to get the movie for my daughter.  There was much rejoicing in our household today!  She took the movie over to her friend's house and watched it with them.  I can't wait to see the movie again as there are several scenes/songs that I really love.  I also picked up some more greeting cards and some more gum (I had several more tearpad coupons that I found a few months ago that I needed to use).

**(Irmie, Jerilyn, Kelley and Anna; call me if you want to use my discount for this deal).


NOTE: There are so many video values coupons this month that my head is swimming. This is an unusual month.  I have never seen this many videos before.  I watched all of the videos for one of my accounts and I'm pretty sure that it took me almost 3 hours.  Yikes.  We'll have to see if it's worth it to watch them for the other accounts.  Maybe we can scan the upcoming ads on iheartriteaid.com to see what is going to be on sale so that we know which videos we will need to watch.   

NOTE: I have a raincheck for the Tangled/Nexxus deal.  If you are from CBC, RCG or GBC and would like the raincheck for the movie and the Nexxus then please leave me a comment and I will get it to you.  :)

I may shop tomorrow.....

My hubby and I went away for the weekend.  We were supposed to hang out with our dear friends Jon and Tiffany W. but, alas, a blizzard and highway closure prevented us from reaching them in Tahoe!  We missed you guys but hope you had fun.



Our bags were already packed so we just picked a city and headed off to our new location.  We found a good deal on priceline ($45 a night at the Courtyard by Marriott in Pleasanton, CA).



We spent the rainy weekend reading books to our children, playing in the jacuzzi, eating at many of the local restaurants and watching our little girls scream and play at the indoor playground in the Stoneridge Mall.



We also went shopping for all of the things that we are going to need this Spring/Summer (shoes for the girls, shoes for us, clothes for Savannah, housewares for a friend, etc).  It was an enjoyable weekend although it flew by way too fast.  I was really hoping for some time with the hubby alone this weekend but we were just so exhausted by all of the work that we have had to do over the last two months that we were fast asleep soon after the girls went to bed.  Sigh.  Here's hoping that we can spend some time together soon.  My hubby has been super busy at work and things will not slow down for him until the beginning of May.  We are definitely going on vacation as soon as he is finished so that we can spend some quality time together!

Hope some of you were able to get out this weekend for a little shopping at Rite-Aid!  I'm hoping to go shopping tomorrow but we'll see.  I'm staring at laundry and a desk full of administrative work so it's possible that I'll just skip it this week.  It's not a great week at Rite-Aid for me but there is one good deal that I want to snag tomorrow.

Rite-Aid, 3/13-3/19

















Headed out first thing on Sunday morning so that I could ensure that the Purex and Motrin would be in stock.  My local store only stocked 6 of the Purex and I really needed 4 of them so I am glad that I went early (although a raincheck would have been fine too)!

NOTE: The ad for the chloraseptic indicated that the 18-40 ct. were the only boxes on sale.  The 15 count chloraseptic max was also on sale and produced the UP Reward.

NOTE: I calculated the Maybelline deal wrong.  For some reason I kept inputting the makeup at 60% off on my calculator.  I don't like to pay money for makeup since you can get so much of it for free when you coupon.  I'm going to return the makeup on my next shop since I thought it was going to be much cheaper.

UPDATED: Rite-Aid, 3/6-3/12
































Did a quick shop today while my friend Anna watched my children for me (thank you Anna)!  There's a few good deals out there.

UPDATE: Stopped at another Rite-Aid today to look for the Physician's Formula makeup. I went to a small Rite-Aid today so they didn't even carry that brand of makeup.  I decided to use up some of my rainchecks since it was a sleepy store (i.e. there wouldn't be a line of people behind me as the cashier tried to input my raincheck information).  It was a fun and quick shop (took about 15 minutes total).  Picked up some more diapers for my friend Anna who is going to have a baby soon.  If I haven't mentioned the power of rainchecks then let me mention them now.  Rainchecks are awesome.  You should never be discouraged if a store is out of stock.  Just get a raincheck and use it at your convenience when they are stocked up again.  It's a great way to add in moneymakers when you need them.  I added in the Dove (which is a moneymaker) to pay for the rest of my diapers.  Voila!  FREE diapers.

Whole Foods, 3/2-3/8

















I couldn't resist heading out to Whole Foods again today to pick up some tomato products.  My stockpile of tomato products is dwindling; I am almost out of diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and paste.  I stocked up on these items almost 2 years ago and I needed to replenish my stockpile.  Since the deals are "few and far between" on this side of the country I planned to get up early and hit Whole Foods before going to the gym.

I found peelies on the tomato products so I purchased more than I had intended to.  This reserve might only last me through the end of the Summer so I may go back tonight to get some more.

Whole Foods, 2/23-3/1
































I made two quick trips to Whole Foods yesterday to get some FREE coconut milk, butter and Muir Glen.  I had a great shopping experience last night with a cashier named Leti.  What a sweet girl!  She was so adorable.  Thank you for being such a great employee Leti; you are one of the reasons that I continue to shop at Whole Foods!

Some of these items were only on sale through yesterday, however, you can still obtain the Muir Glen and the YoToddler yogurts since they were just regular price.  I"m not certain if the Naked Juice's were on sale through yesterday or if they are also on sale this week.  If you find out please come back and post here!

A special thank you to Anna and Rebecca for joining me for my shop and coffee afterwards.  I had fun hanging out with you guys and look forward to more fellowship in the future.  Love you guys!

TOTAL AFTER COUPONS:  $2.01
SAVINGS: 98%


NOTE: Just found out that Whole Foods does not allow rainchecks.  That's unfortunate as they would have a greater profit as a store if they allowed them since we would come back and purchase more product when they are out of stock.  I'm not certain what their rationale is for this practice but I hope to get to know my local store better to understand their policies.

NOTE: I found a Naked Juice rebate form in the store for $5 wyb 5 Naked Juice.  I am going to head back today or tomorrow and see if they are still on sale.  If so I will purchase 3 more for $3.25 OOP with the coupons that I have left and submit for the $5 rebate.  That way I will only pay $.26 cents for everything above in the end (including 3 more Naked Juice).  I love couponing!

NOTE: They substituted the YoBaby yogurts for me because they were out of the YoToddler and they were the same price.
