This is worthy of a Rite Aid $5 challenge. Some of the deals were on the weekend only. I was down in Hercules, CA over the weekend and went with Master couponer, Angie. Without her I would have never got my totals under $10. I never expected Herbal Essences to print $2+up reward in the same transaction. I thought one was the limit. And here is to more very cheap Veet. Love that stuff. I should be the spokeperson for it. It's totally painless and it doesn't reek until you're washing it off. Very touchable smooth legs and doesn't dry my skin.

I learned two things this week. First, if you have CVS dollar off coupons (ex. $5 off a $25 purchase) and you don't make it all the way to $25, the cashiers usually don't make a big deal, as long as you are close to the said amount the coupon still works. Secondly, I did read about rainchecks but obviously I still didn't understand how it worked. The raincheck doesn't expire and it includes the sale price and the ECB. I can't imagine how many things I wanted to buy but I thought oh well since it out of stock, well out of luck.

The 15% off pass really helped save a lot on baby wipes. Now I got to figure out what to do with the wipe containers once the wipes are used up. Also bought yet another Veet. My shaving days are over...hello smooth legs...yay!!!
