Getting Back to the Coupons

Okay, it's been about two months since I've been able to get my act together enough to coupon... and this week I was totally on my game!  Let me brag a little....

This week I visited three grocery stores:  Ingles, Kroger, and Publix.  Nothing I bought was off brand, mind you.

RITE AID-- (I started out with $10 worth of +UP rewards, or Rite Aid Bucks, to use from last week)

Two 34 packs of Huggies Diapers
Two 4 packs of Cottonelle Double Rolls
1 Gain Dish Soap
2 Boxes Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa
2 Cans Pineapple
2 Colgate Total Toothpaste
1 Colgate 360 toothbrush
1 Aussie Shampoo

Used $20.80 worth of coupons
Used my $10 in +UP bucks
Paid $6.49 out of pocket AND received $10 in +UP rewards to use!!!!

Turned around and bought...

1 Aussie Conditioner
1 Aussie Shampoo
1 Mentos gum

Used $5 in +UP rewards from last transaction
Paid 46 CENTS OUT OF POCKET and got back $4 more +UP REWARDS!!!


My CVS trip was not as impressive, mostly due to the Progresso soup and Bread that I needed but didn't get rewards bucks back for... and I didn't have any bucks going in to use... and I had no coupon for the bread.  But, I got 4 cans of Progresso soup for (89 cents each!), a loaf of Sara Lee bread, Dry Idea Deoderant & Blistex for $9.95 after coupons and sales with $2.50 back in Extra Care Bucks to use next time.
