I HEART Coupons and Rite Aid!

I remember growing up my mom ALWAYS used coupons when she went to the grocery store. I thought she was crazy because she had this box thing she would bring and it would take forever to shop. Well now that I have a family of my own I understand...she wanted to save as MUCH $$ as possible. Since I left Wells Fargo we obviously haven't been bringing in as much money so I have been trying to cut our expenses here and there. Well this is what I got today at Rite Aid:Let me break this down for you so you can see the AMAZING savings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1 Ziploc Snack Sized Bag: Reg 2.99 on sale for 1.99 used .55 coupon total: 1.44
1 Ziploc Square Container: Reg 3.79 on sale for 1.99 used .55 coupon total: 1.44
4 Bottles Listerine: Reg 3.99 (15.96/4) get $10 back & used .50 coupon total: 1.36 each

I also bought Jeff some crystal light to go and it was on sale for 1.99 but when I got home I realized they over charged me so I need to go back. I also bought the knock off brand of crystal light called wheyler's light for .99
My total before coupons and rebates was: 49.32
After rebates and coupons I paid: 19.08 including tax
I saved: 30.24!!!

This is probably a little confusing...sorry!!! But I was SUPER excited :)

Way to go Carrie! Don't you get a personal high when you save so much? I do. I think I look like your mom used to look, except I have a binder full of coupons...my husband thinks I' crazy. But he does like all the stuff he gets for cheap. Good luck with your couponing!
