Got Jalepenos?

Well, we just finished picking EVERYTHING from our garden. Check out the jalepenos that we got out of our garden.....



Wowzas! We are estimating about 100 or so jalepenos. Gosh, I REALLY cannot believe how productive our garden was this year. WE DIDN'T KILL IT! :)

Just thought I would share these awesome pictures. I sooo soo soooo happy with how we did!

Thanks!

Rite Aid Shop

I had sooooo much fun at Rite Aid today. I was on my way to Weight Watchers this morning and I thought I would stop by to see what I could score "real quick." Well, needless to say I was a bit late for my WW meeting this morning. Well, I had to get my shop on right? :) Okay, so I did two separate transactions this morning and I did AWESOME!!!! Then, I went back again after my WW meeting and did another shop. Here they are....

Okay, here is my first transaction......

Okay, here is the deal on this one.

Alka-Seltzer Plus Fast Powder Packs are $5 then you get $2 +UP Reward back. Okay, so this is what I did. Plus, if you buy $30 in select Bayer products you get a $10 +UP Reward back.

Alka-Seltzer Plus $5 X6,  $30
-$3/1 from 10/24 RP X5 (I had six, but forgot to give her one)
-$1/1 VV non-prescription product from Sept. X2
-$1/1 Alka-Seltzer VV from Sept. (NLA) X2
-$5/25

I paid a total of $5 plus tax, which I used a Rite Aid rebate check for, so no money out of my pocket. Plus, I got back one $10 +UP Reward, and six $2 +UP Rewards. I GOT BACK $22 in +UP Rewards! This was a major money make for me! It would have been even more, if I would have remembered to give them my $3 coupon. I might go back tomorrow and see if they will "fix" that for me.

Transaction #2

Here is my next transaction.....


Thanks!

Okay, here is the next breakdown......

Nivea Body Lotion "Happy Sensation" $5.99

Total out of pocket $0.03, plus tax! PLUS, I got back $5 +UP reward for the Nivea and $2 +UP for the Oatmeal! Again, total money maker! Plus, I still had some money leftover from my Rite Aid Rebate check that I used for this. Again, no money out of my pocket!:)

Okay, so then I WENT BACK!! This time I went back after Weight Watchers and with someone I am trying to help learn to coupon (hey Jennifer). We spent a couple hours in Rite Aid! :)

Okay, so this is my third and final transaction today.....  

Okay, here is the breakdown on this one. The deal is you spend $25 on any advertised candy and get $10 in +UP Rewards back.

Whitman's Sampler $4.99 X2
-$1/1 from insert a few months ago X2
=$3.99 each

Reeses Snack Size 2 for $5
-$1/1 VV X2
There is also a coupon from last weekend's insert for $1/2 (I didn't have this with me)
=$3

Werthers 2 for $3
-$1/2 (don't know why but the coupon beeps)
=$2

Hershey's Bliss $2.99 each
$1/2 VV
$1/2 from recent insert
=$3.98

-$5/25
-$13 in +UP Rewards

I paid a total of $0.46, plus tax OOP. Again, I still had money left from my rebate check that I used for this. So, no money out of my pocket. PLUS, I got $10 in +UP Rewards back.

FYI-The candy was not triggering the $10 +UP Reward, like it is supposed to. The manager helped me and he tried grabbing a couple of different kinds of candy to try and get this triggered, but he was having a difficult time getting it to trigger. He finally found a bag of candy that would trigger it. Hopefully, they will have this figured out pretty soon.

Okay, that is it for my shops. Good luck this week.

Thanks!
