Rite Aid Trip (saved 53.09%) and CVS Trip (saved 87.82%)
My percentages of savings this week aren't impressive looking, but that is because I don't include the ECBs or UPRs I earned in my savings. I wait until I spend them and then work them into coupons. That is one of my pet peeves about couponing. I don't like to count the reward you earn into calculating savings during that trip. To me, it almost fluffs it up. Don't get me wrong, when I decide what to buy, the rewards play a major role. I do, however, work the SCR into my savings, since it is in the form of cash, not a coupon good only for the store. The key to saving big at drug stores is to roll your rewards. You leave the store with $10 in rewards, come back next week, use those $10 to pay for your order, and in return earn say $15 more rewards. Then the cycle repeats itself!
Anyway, enough rambling. I haven't been to into my Rite Aid shopping lately, because I think the service at my local Rite Aid sucks. I feel like I am being profiled sometimes, and that they don't really like customers who use lots of coupons. I did have a good experience last night, though, so that was nice. I have never felt like that at CVS though.

End of August Totals for Kelly W.
I did much better this month than in the past! I have really tried to cut down on grabbing things just because I can get them cheap. Some stuff I just don't need and even though it's cheap, it's still money I am spending that I can put towards other things we do need. I saved 51% last month and am very pleased with that! These totals include Publix, Target, CVS, & Walgreens. Here is how I did:
Total OOP spent: $460.53
Total Shelf Price: $939.88
Saved: $479.35 (51%)

End of Month Totals for Kelly F.
Oops. I went WAY over budget this month. I am beginning to think that $300 is not a realistic number for us right now, because of diapers and Cora starting to eat table food. It's all her fault! ;-) Just kidding :o) I did make 2 trips to Sam's Club this month which ate up about 60% of my budget.

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 Trip (average savings of 107.44%)
I've been avoiding Rite Aid lately, because I personally think that their staff is uneducated on their coupon policy, and are therefore rude. I have never tried to get one over on anyone, and I hate the attitude I've seen from some of their cashiers. My cashier today actually shorted me $6, but I only noticed $2 in the store. I am going back tomorrow to hopefully get back my other $4 (I called them about it). Instead of taking the money off for 2 coupons, she actually charged me what the coupon is worth.
Anyway, this week is a FANTASTIC week. This is a great week to go to Rite Aid! All-in-all, I got $142.04 worth of products for -$8.05 after rebates!!!
