Rite Aid Steals

Yesterday I hit up Rite Aid for some more deals.

It was my first time trying to do multiple transactions while watching two munchkins but I managed just fine and a huge bonus for having a very sweet and patient cashier. I love nice people!!

Couponing

I like to collect things. Useful things. I hate when I run out of something and then need to head to the store. I like stocking up and having a stock pile. I like to hoard groceries and toiletries, along with various other items that can be found in a grocery store. Because of my strange fascination with collecting things, it was only a matter of time before I stumbled upon couponing. My husband told me to not even bother and that it wasnt worth it but I watched a show on tv once where a woman bought hundreds of dollars worth of groceries, she handed them her coupons and after they were all rung through, her grand total was under $10. It might have been under $5. I was hooked. I NEEDED to learn how to coupon. 

Well the time has come to learn, and the only issue is that it's crazy hard when starting out. Not to mention our apartment doesnt offer the space needed to stockpile food. But I have found several sites (some of which were recommended by a friend of mine, Kim who is in my opinion, the coupon queen!) and that's how it works out for me. They do the work, blog about it and then I copy the deals I want, sort my coupons and go to the store. DONE! I get cheap and sometimes free items without having to put in all the work of trying to figure out what is on sale and where the sales are. Phew! Because with two toddlers, the money savings isnt worth it if I have to spend hours a day trying to find the deals.

Without further ado- here are my steals of the week (so far!).
