Awesome deal @ Rite Aid this Week! 4/17-4/23/11 I've been waiting for a sale on these...oh, and a fully stocked shelf. lol Target has been out of these for a while. Sale @ Rite Aid BOGO FREE They were $5.99 each (kinda disappointed that the regular price was that high some stores like Target have it for $4.99 would have been free if that was the case...but here's great news! Target will price match if you bring in the ad)!!! Ok, anyhoo, I had $2 off coupons which I was able to use on every bottle. Yes, you can do that usually on a BOGO sale (check and print out stores coupon policy to bring with you in case there's any confusion)! I ended up paying $1 each plus tax! Not bad! I bought 6 so the total would have been $36ish plus tax. I paid a little over $5...plus I had a 3 off coupon for doing a store survey. Paid less than the price of one bottle. BTW this fabric softener works fabulous and smells great!

This morning 4/17/11 I hit the BOGO sale @ Rite Aid. Purex Crystals regular price $5.99 Each $46.93 total for (7) Paid $11.63!!!!!!! Here's a break down of how I did this. Used (7) $2.00 off BOGO coupons. Which made them $1.00 a piece. I also bought coffee creamer so it would have been cheaper. Plus I used a $3 off Rite-Aide coupon from taking a survey.

Here's a tip. Always look on the bottom of your receipt for your survey code. Take a brief survey about your shopping experience and get a $3 off coupon!

Spent a total of $12.50 on everything! With coupons and Rite Aid Rewards. Here's a break down of the retail price and the amount saved....

Bought 1 pair of Ugg style boots on clearance for $4.99 (2) Wonka candy bars on sale for 2/$3 (had 2 $1.00 off printables) .50 each! (9) Candy bars Walgreens had a coupon for .39 each and I had (3) coupons for buy 2 get one free so I think the candy bars were like $2.32 for a total of 9. My total after I used my $5 Register Reward was a whopping $1.94!! Not bad for a bunch of candy and some shoes. lol

Accu-Chek Aviva was on sale for $14.99. I had $10 off coupons from a few Sunday papers ago. So my total was $6.23 with tax.
