Rite Aid: Total spent out of pocket - $0.  I did put $7.78 on a gift card (post below this one), but after returning the candle (it rang up full price when the sign said 50% off, I got back $6.65...so only $1.13 was spent on my gift card).

2 White Cheddar Cheez-It's - $1.99/box. 
1 Mickey Mouse figure - .99
1 Secret - $1.29
1 Olay bar soap - $3.49
2 Glade refills - $2.50/each
2 Renuzit Adjustables - .88/each
1 Crest Pro Health - $3.49
1 Crest w/ Scope - $2.99
3 M&Ms 8pks - .49/each
2 Halloween Glowsticks (they're really flashlights, no glow stick stuff in them) - $1.24/each
Also donated $1 to Diabetes Awareness...without that my total would have really been .13!  :o)

(The jar candle was $5.99, it's in the picture but since I returned it, I'm not putting really it in the breakdown)

I used a $5/25.
$5 coupon on the Olay/Secret.  Got .22 overage.
I used a .75 coupon on the (toothpaste?)
$1 coupon on the Crest Pro Health
$1 Rite Aid coupon for Crest
Used a $2/2 coupon on the Glade
Used a $10 UP reward
Used two $1 coupons on the Renuzit (adjusted down to .88 each)

Got back $8.49 in UP Rewards:
$2 for the Cheez-Its
$2.99 for the Crest w/ Scope
 $2.50 for the Crest Pro Health
$1 for the Glade

So, I lost  $1.51 in UPs on this transaction...but that is okay by me.  Cheez-Its for .99 a box is a great price!  I love Cheez-Its... Random, when I was in labor with my oldest I grabbed a box to munch in the car on the way to the hospital (it was late, I knew I would get hungry and wouldn't be allowed to eat) and dropped the box (they all spilled!) during a contraction.  I was SO upset I dropped my Cheez-Its, haha.

I am loving Rite Aid!

I got a $10 gift card in the mail, for buying things I would have bought anyway.  Toothpaste and toothbrushes!

I saw this over on For The Mommas today, but I know a lot of mommas who are looking to purchase Tag readers this holiday season.

The Leapfrog Tag Reader (16MB) is on sale for just $19.99 on the Leapfrog site right now.   If you are new to Ebates, it is just $14.99 after the $5 cash back.

We personally *LOVE* ours.  I have posted about them previously, my daughters are four and three years old and have no problems using them, and they allow for educational fun while keeping them occupied so mommy can hop in the shower or throw in a load of laundry.

Head on over to Frugal Mommy of 2 Girls for a chance to win a gift bag ensemble!

CVS:  Total spent = $26.17 out of pocket. 

I was looking to buy Toy Story 3 somewhere and I was originally going to get it from Toys R Us, but I would have actually spent more there and ended up with less that I would actually USE.  I figured getting it at CVS would be better because I spent at least $10 less (for items worth WAY more) and we will actually use everything purchased.

So...breakdown:

1 Olay body wash - $6.99
1 trial size Secret - $1
2 Oral-B Power Toothbrushes - $4.99 each
1 Charmin Ultra bonus pack - $9.97
1 Bounty 8pk - $6.97
1 Dawn - .97/each
6 Puffs tissues - .97/each
1 Toy Story 3 dvd - $3.99 for purchasing $25 in select P&G products.

I used two $3 coupons on the toothbrushes, making them free after coupons and ECBs ( got $2 back for each)
I used a $5 coupon wyb any Olay and Secret, making them free after coupon/ECBs (got back $3 for the Olay)
I used two .25 coupons on the Dawn...I thought I gave them 3, they might have missed one, but oh well.
I used five .50 coupons on the Puffs.
One .50 coupon on the Bounty
One $1 coupon on the Charmin.

I also used $7 in ECBs (but then I got back $7 so I didn't lose any ECBs).

So all in all, spent $26.17 for $63.63 worth of merchandise, plus got $7 back.  I normally would have balked at spending the $26, but I figured I had been planning to go drop more for less at Toys R Us and this was overall a better deal considering it was a movie I was going to buy anyway.
