Sunday shopping at Rite Aid/Publix

Ran into Publix to get just a few items that I had some good coupons for. Also needed to get a Birmingham paper..instead of the Montgomery one..that they only carry at one certain Publix. I don't mind going a little out of my way though, because all the extra coupons are worth it! I spent $3.83 (including tax) and saved $11.23!

• 3 Birdseye steamfresh vegetables, sale price $.89-1.19, had $1/2 MQ and $1/3 Store coupon
• 2 Kraft shredded cheese, on sale $1.67, found a $2/2 tearpad
• 1 Dannon natural yogurt, on sale $.40 (bought one because I thought it would be a good snack for work one day)
• 1 Yoplait greek yogurt, reg. price $1.19, FREE store coupon
  

Then I headed to Rite Aid with my new set of coupons, ready for some good deals. While they didn't have everything I was looking for, I got a lot:

• 1 gallon milk, reg. price $2.99 (I forgot to get it at Publix-but it was actually cheaper at Rite Aid which was a nice surprise!)
• 1 Crest toothpaste, on sale $2.89, used $1/1 MQ, will get $1 SCR
• 1 Scope mouthwash, on sale $3.50, used $.75/1 MQ
• 1 Always 80 ct liners, on sale $5.99, used $1/1 MQ, will get $1 SCR
• 1 Nyquil 20 ct, on sale $4.99, used $1.50/1 MQ, will get $2 SCR
• 4 ct Gillette Fusion razor refills, reg. price $14.99 (ouch! but they got me over the $30 threshold for the $10 gift card wyb certain P&G products)
• 1 Gillette Fusion razor, reg. price $10.49, had FREE coupon wyb refills
• 1 Gillette Fusion shave gel, FREE in store special wyb Fusion refills

I also used a $5/25 coupon to get my oop even lower. I spent $30.18 (including $4.08 tax...we pay 10% sales tax here so it's always pretty high), but I will get $4 SCR back and a $10 Rite Aid gift card, making it more like $16.....and only $12 for all of those items if you don't include tax!! That's less than the Fusion razor cartridge refills alone!

Then I did another transaction at Rite Aid to get some John Freida shampoos/conditioner. I love the way they smell and I do feel like my hair is more manageable when I use them. I only bought one paper so I only had one $3/1 MQ, but I found two $1/1 coupons hanging on two of the shampoos. I also had a $3/15 coupon, making my total $8.20 with tax. Once I get my SCR for $5, it'll be like getting all 3 for $3! Not bad for shampoo that's normally $6-$7 a piece!
