Rite Aid Trip (average savings of 93.7%) and CVS Trip (93.92% savings)

This is the last time that I shop after the 1st day of the sale. Shelves were WIPED OUT. I had to really change around my transactions at Rite Aid, and ended up, on a whim, going to a 2nd Rite Aid to see if their stock was any better. At least that transaction turned into a moneymaker. I did, however, get a lot of stuff that we need, even though my OOP was a lot higher than I usually like it to be.

Rite Aid:
