Safeway Run

Well, we had to go out to Rite Aid today as I had $8 in +Up expiring today. I just really wanted to hurry as Blakey is feeling better just not 100%, so I didn't want him out too much. Anyway, since "my" Safeway is right next to Rite Aid, I REALLY wanted to see if they had any Reach toothbrushes and get some more FREE gum too.

Well, I had a successful trip and a not-so-successful trip. The good news is I found a $2 Catalina lying in my cart. The bad news....I didn't take the time and digest the amount. I KNEW it was $2, but got in my head that is $5. :(

So, here is what we got......

Well, as you can see there is only one pack of gum in my picture. :( Yep, that was my second mistake. I used my coupon for B1G1 free with the sale that they are having for buy1 get 1 free, BUT ONLY GRABBED ONE PACK!! Bummer!

I had it all planned out that I would only pay something like $0.34 or something like that, but that didn't go as planned since I miscalculated my FREE Catalina. Here is what the transaction looked like.....

Trident Vitality $1.29 X1 (I should have grabbed two)

-B1G1 free coupon

=FREE!

Dial Nutriskin hand soap $0.99 (this sale is only through today) X4

-$0.35/1 from 3/13 RPX4

=$2.56, making these just $0.64 each! (That's pretty good for me)

Reach toothbrush $1.83 X4

-$1/1 from insert a longtime ago X4

=$3.32, making them just $0.83 each!

-$4.50 in Catalinas

TOOP was $2.36 (I basically paid for my hand soap). Plus, I got back another $4 Catalina from the Reach toothbrushes! I did end up making a little money, but it would have been better if, I would have slowed down and wasn't in such a hurry. That's okay. I still did pretty good. :)

Thanks!
