Shopping at Rite Aid

Getting into this coupon thing and savvy shopping, I have learned that shopping at drug stores can be affordable if you know how to pay attention to sale cycles.  This is a post for me to just help me keep my spending in check. As I try to keep within my budget, it is important for me to not go crazy about everything that seems like a good deal.  

Trying new products at Rite Aid and rolling +UP rewards:



I have never tried the above products.  They were advertised in the week's Rite Aid circular ad and there are coupons available so I thought why not?!

Buy & Earn Promotion - FABuary Rewards: Earned 1st code towards a 'prize'
Note: I made a rookie mistake-I purchased 2 mascaras & 2 eye liners together; instead of both eye liners being 50% off, 1 of the mascaras was priced down 50% making the Buy 1 eye liner, get 1 mascara free coupon only taking off the $8.49 price and the 50% price of $4.24 instead of the full price
