My Shopping Trip: Rite Aid and Stop & Shop
Yesterday I got some super sweet deals. First I stopped off at Rite Aid. I have no idea what town I was in…maybe Holmdel? I was driving from Rt 9 in Manalapan from Homegoods (gotta stop going there LOL) and there was a Rite Aid along the way. So, since I had UP Rewards that were expiring, I decided to stop in and check out some clearance deals.
Score! Got some great clearance finds that my husband will appreciate. And, such a bummer, I just bought some microfiber cloths at the Big Lots 20% off sale on Sunday. These were a money maker at Rite Aid! They were originally $3.19 and 75% off making them just $1.59. Plus I got a $2 UP Reward! Woot! Trust me, I can use as many as I can get my hands on. I use them often in place of paper towels so I’m washing them constantly. And, you see that cute little Bogo above? Well, he thinks they are his toys!
There were lots of great 75% off deals in automotive, housewares and gardening. The store I stopped in was pretty much out of the gardening stuff but I did pretty well on everything else. Plus it was stuff I need and use often around the house and on the cars.
Then, I stopped off at Stop & Shop to get my free cereal or you can look at it as free milk. Either way, 4 boxes of cereal, pay $4 get a free milk catalina (up to $4.50). If you haven’t done the deal, it ends today!
Here is what I did:
Rite Aid Transaction:
- (2) Mr Clean Windshield Washer Fluid – $1.24 (orig: $4.99)
- (2) Microfiber cloths – $1.59 (orig: $3.19)
- (1) 3m Command Hook – $1.44 (orig: $5.79)
- (1) Elmers Super Glue 3pack – $0.62 (orig: $2.49)
- (1) Penzoil Power Steer Fluid – $1.24 (orig: $4.99) – I thought this might produce an UPR but it didn’t. But for $1.24, I’m sure Pat will be using it and quite happy with the price.
