Quick BJ's Stop

BJ's is a store that if you aren't careful you can drop about half your paycheck before you know it!  There are a few things that definitely make it worth the $45 membership fee every year, Crystal Light is the main one, but here's what I was able to pick up the other day...
1 pkg Chocolate Chips $7.99 (I'm going to keep track and see if this is really worth the price.  I'm thinking it will be, but I want to make sure)
1 bag FL Navel Oranges (only place I've seen them so far this year, and they are DELICIOUS!) $6.99
2-2 pk pkgs Pillsbury Pie Crusts $4.59 ea - $3/2 BJ's Coupon (there is also a $0.50/2 MC online) = 2/$6.18 (would be 2/$5.68 with MC)
Total OOP: $21.16

End of last Week Rite-Aid Trips!

I won't share all of the details here, as the sales are over, but I did want to share the amount of clearance items that are to be had at the Rite-Aid beside Frisco's in Westminster, MD.  And, well, really everywhere, so ALWAYS be on the look out for clearance sections, and if you have a coupon for a clearance items -- even better!
