So this couponing adventure was spending $50 before coupons to get $25 back in the form of a check (Rite Aid rebate). I definitely could have made this one a much better deal and made more off of it, but I decided that i would go for stuff Jeff and I might actually use instead of continuing to stock up on medicine and stuff that Jeff and I barely ever use. So here's the break-down.Total before coupons: $58.89
Total after coupons: $24.29
Total I made $0.71 by shopping at Rite Aid this week.
I'm gonna be so sad if we ever move somewhere they don't have Rite Aid. It has become my favorite place to shop these days. I love spending time to figure out how to get the best deals and messing around to see what would be the best deal for Jeff and I. Its so much fun and it requires lots of math so I feel like I'm using my brain. Plus on this one we got some sweet Transformer band-aids. Jeff and I keep a spreadsheet of every penny we spend since neither of us have ever really had to keep track of several bills each month before. I have now added a Rite Aid section to that spreadsheet so I can see how much I make at Rite Aid each month. Last month I was at making a total of $4.49 for the month and we now have more than a years supply of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, deodorant, and razors. This month I ended up spending $3.25, but we have face wash, band-aids and neosporin to last several years. I'm gonna be sad when Jeff tells me to stop because we have too much stuff. It's just so much fun getting everything for free. I will have to brainstorm on what to do with all the extra stuff that we won't use. Maybe we will find someplace to donate it?
I appreciate your desire to donate, but don't forget that you could always throw some of these items up on E-Bay if you could use a few more pennies. Giving is a huge blessing so go that route if you can!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the input Matt! Jeff was suggesting I do the E-Bay thing too since I can't find a job, but I'm not sure how it all works. I'll have to do some research. Maybe I will find a good balance of donating and selling. That would be a good goal.
