This trip continues with Part 2 Click Here to View

I was very surprised that my store has all the items that I need to get over $25.  I considered myself really lucky for this awesome trip!

The best order to give your coupons in at the register is:

Give the total purchase coupon first, if you have one (i.e $5/$25), then manufacturer’s coupons and then the Rite Aid store coupons or video value coupons.

A big thank you to hip2save and iheartriteaid for helping me saved a lot!

12/18 ~ My 2010's Last Trip to PetSmart

It has been raining heavily for the past few days here in SoCal and it is still raining while I am working on this update. I love the shower and the cleanliness that comes in the air and I love to get drenched in rain so I decided to make my last trip to Petsmart for 2010 on the past Saturday to buy some of my favorite brands for dog treats.

I bought:

~~~~~~~~

1 Cesar Softies 75 treats (6.7 oz) -Filet Mignon Flavor $2.99 (Regular Price: $3.99)

1 Cesar Softies 75 treats (6.7 oz) -Grilled Chicken Flavor $2.99 (Regular Price: $3.99)

1 Pedigree Good Bites 50 pieces -Multi-Vitamin $3.49 (Regular Price: $3.99)
1 Bags on Board refill bags -8 rolls 120 bags $2.97 (Clearance)
1 Pedigree DentaStix -4ct $3.49 (Regular Price: $3.99)
1 Nutro Utlra Biscuits 23oz $2.24 (Regular Price: $4.99)

I paid using these $2 coupons for Pedigree DentaStix, Cesar Softies and Pedigree Good Bites.

Total (after coupons): $11.94

($10.17 + $1.77 Sales Tax)

I think $.99 for a bag of Cesar Softies treats is a great deal!  I do not intend to find coupons for it though... ... I figured out that I have enough treats to last for another at least 2 months!
