So I did the first seven transactions at Midnight at the 24 Hour store on Thursday. Loved it. Was missing just one headphone. Even for the 3 day sale the store didn't have much merchandise in stock. Looked like the deals were while supplies last. Took way longer at the store than I thought since I was trying to make sure to pay the least OOP and roll the +UP rewards. Got lucky when I called all the stores around where I live and there was one in stock. Rushed to get it. Got everything on my list for Rite Aid. Bought $89.89 worth of merchandise for $19.33 and ended with $5 +UP reward.

Was able to combine two deal weeks into one. The store finally put out Sunday's (11/20) ad. I just realized that instead of taking off $1.50 for the Ricola the cashier took off $3.39 (carmex price). Oops his mistake my gain. The only things I forgot for this upcoming week is more greeting cards and excedrin.

I got the beauty bag on Saturday and realized just a few hours ago that the coupon were going to expire today. Such a dismal trip. Nowadays the store hardly has things in stock until a month after the sale is over. Got a few things. Made a mistake in using the manufacturer Aveeno coupon. Didn't read the limitations correctly. Thanks to all the Transformers coupons, Kevin now has the whole Cyberverse line. They really do transform from vehicle to toy and vice versa. I thought it was all computer generated.
