Really Small Rite-Aid Trip This Week

Some weeks they have it, and others they don't. This week's deals at Rite-Aid were pretty slim for me, as you can see from the above picture...
2 Johnson's Pure Cotton Q-tips 500 ct ea $2.99 ea - $1/1 in-ad C x 2 - $1/1 MC (past newspaper) x 2 = $0.99 ea or 2/$1.98
+ Tax $0.35
Total OOP: $2.34, paid with FREE gift card. Even the cashier was pretty impressed with this transaction! Remember, just because the in-ad coupon has Johnson's baby shampoo and body washes on it doesn't mean that's what you have to buy. The coupon states any Johnson's product, well, these Q-tips are made by Johnson's, so they count, and the coupon scanned with no problems at all. Just an FYI!

My New Bathroom Floor!!!

I just want to tell everyone about my NEW, BEAUTIFUL bathroom floor!! Isn't it just gorgeous?
