Ok, so I tried to go to Rite Aid to get some free razors and use my $5 off $25 printable coupons from Deal Seeking Mom as well as that $10 gift card. {I got this for picking up free glucose monitors with coupons and donating them to charity} Well one of my coupons was expired and I didn't realize it so that threw me off. The cashier didn't understand the whole coupon thing, and there was a line behind me. In my attempt to salvage the trip and get out of peoples way, I forgot to use my gift card. I figure I spent about $15 to $20 dollars more OOP than I should have. I was really annoyed with myself, but the trip wasn't a total loss, so here is how it turned out...
1 Tums dual action $9.99
2 Bayer glucose meters $29.99 each
2 No nonsense knee highs $2.49 B1G1
2 No nonsense 3 pk sox $4.49 B1G1
2 Jane make up $5.99 B1G1 {foundation and bronzer}
2 Milky Way minis $3.79 B1G1
1 eyeliner 99 cents {clearance}
1 pk. index cards $1.29
1 crayola color pencils $7.99 B1G1 50% off
1 crayola pipsqueeks markers $2.74
1 crayola washable marker $5.29 B1G1 50% off
1 crayola washable marker $2.64
Total $107.67
______________________________________________________
COUPONS USED:
2 $30.00 Bayer monitor coupons from Sunday paper
$3.00 Tums coupon from All You
$3.00 Tums in ad coupon
4 $1.00 no nonsense coupons
$1.00/2 milky way coupon from Sunday paper
$5.00/$25.00 Rite Aid print-able
Total coupon savings $76.00
I should have gotten another $10.00 off for my gift card {but I can use that next time} As well as another $5 to $10 dollars in $5 off $25 dollar print-ables depending on how I split it up. Oh well. Better luck tomorrow...
I also submitted for $3.00 and $5.00 single check rebates for the Tums and the Crayola.

$20 gift card...Free from Dillyeo
Dillyeo is giving away a free $20.00 gift card today for the next 11 hours or so. I have seen 5 and 10 dollar gift cards in the past for free, but not $20! You will have to give them an additional email address when you check out. I gave them my other e-mail address, that way I am not bothering my friends. Good Luck! Oh the URL is http://www.dillyeo.com/Store/Product/151.aspx
Free Dr. Pepper in Maxim
There is a coupon for a FREE 2 liter bottle of diet Dr. Pepper in the Feb. issue of Maxim magazine. If you happen to have one laying around, or notice one at the recycle center, grab it. I used that and the one I got in the mail from Dr. Pepper to make a deal at Walgreens on Saturday. The sale for that is over now, but Free soda is always good!

sorry for slacking...
Ok, so I have actually gone to the store a couple times since my last post. I thought I had put at least one of those trips on here, but I guess not... Anyway, I am not going to go back through all of the receipts to catch this up because the sales I went to are over, and it would be irrelevant to all of you. I did want to mention a nice little bonus I noticed, that at least some of you may be able to cash in on...
When Rite aid had the Bayer glucose monitors for free with the coupons from the Sunday paper, I bought 3 of them. That is how many coupons I had. The total before the coupons was like $44.97. After the coupons, I paid nothing. Now I don't even need one glucose monitor let alone 3, but I donated them to the Salvation Army. I am sure someone in need will be pleased to have them. Then later I was checking out the February rebates for rite aid and submitting receipts. I didn't think that these would count towards anything since I paid nothing for them. You know what? I was wrong. The receipt for the monitors came back as qualifying for not only the $10 gift card for Rite Aid, but also for the heart health tee shirt offer from them. So... I donated 3 monitors to people who needed them. It cost me nothing, and as a reward for my good deed, I will receive a $10 gift card and a free tee shirt. Which is even better because I did not expect anything for it. Not bad, not bad at all.
If you bought the monitors you may qualify for these rebates, check the Rite Aid site to find out. Be sure to do so soon. I think you have to submit before the end of the month.
As always, remember, if you can get a freebie that you don't need, get it anyway, donate it to someone who can use it. You will get the pleasure of doing something for others, and someone will appreciate your kindness...heck, you may even be rewarded for it. How can you beat that?
