What have you saved at Rite Aide this week?

Ajax a steal at CVS!

I caught the CVS 7-10 ad preview ( BIG Thank You to the girls in the CVS forum at WUC!) in the middle of last week and saw Ajax 16oz dish soap would be on sale for $.88 limit 5!
That in itself is a great deal. After searching the coupon data base I saw that there was a $1.00/ any 2 Ajax, Dynamo, ETC coupon out there, which would make each bottle just $.38! Which in CA is unheard of. I was able to swap for the Ajax coupons as they were regional and we unfortunately did not get them here.
So this morning I run out to CVS bright and early to make sure I am able to grab what I need before it's all gone. I walk up tot the shelf and notice that the Ajax bottles are marked $.77 and no limit in the ad!!! Making them just $.27 a bottle!!!
I was able to buy all 20 bottles so I could use all of my coupons
(I did not clear the shelf. Not even by a long shot)

My transaction:
20 bottles of Ajax Soap $.77 = $15.40
1 case of water $2.40 + CRV= $3.60
2 bottles of carbonated ArrowHead Water +CRV =$2.08
1 bottle of Vitaminwater + CRV (filler)= $1.05
Total= 20.83

I used:
10 x $1.00/2 Any Ajax Q
$4 off $20 purchase CVS Q
BOGOF Arrowhead water Q

Total $5.83 W/ CRV!
$4.49 without!

What a steal!
Esp since the best deal I have found on dish soap since I started is $.75 for 1 10oz Dawn.

What did you score at CVS this week?

$2.00 Restuarant.com $25 Gift Certificates!

What a great deal!

Right now Restaurant.com is offering 80% off using promo code: SUN.

That makes the $25 gift certificate $2-$3 depending on the regular price ($10-$15)!

Most places in my area have a minimum spending requirement of $35 but with my family of 3 we hit that easily. And spending $12 on $35+ meal isn't bad in my book!

Ajax Automatic Dishwasher Detergent Dish Packs Event

I saw this going on at Walmart today.
While I wasn't able to get one of the free samples ( Walmart was a complete mad house today) I was able to grab a couple of the $.75/1 coupons they had.

So keep your eyes on the ads over the next couple weeks as this is a new product and we may be able to get these at a great price! I know Walmart was selling packs for $3.74 making them $2.99 with coupon.

My CVS Gas Card Deal

I never thought about taking advantage of the gas card deal that CVS has each week. After browsing the ad preview on WUC I thought I could do this!
I worked up this deal:

Gas Card Deal Items:
- 2x 8 pack Bounty Basic paper towels
- 4x Pantene products
- 10oz Dawn dish soap
- 9.9oz Pretzel M&Ms
- Snickers Bar

Other deals:
- Hershey Aero Delight bar
- 2x Oral B Cross Action tooth brushes

Total: $40.65 w/tax

I used:
- 2x $3.00/2 Pantene products
- 2x $1.00 off Bounty Basic 6 pack or larger coupon
- $.25 off Dawn dish soap
- $1.00 off Pretzel M&M 9.9oz or larger
-2x $2.00 off Oral B Cross Action Tooth Brush
- Free Hershey Air Delight bar from CVS Machine
-$1.00 Quarterly Earnings CVS ECB
-$5.00 CVS ECB from last week:

Total OOP: $19.21

I got back:
- $10 Arco Gas Card
- $2 ECB

So my total was $7.21 w/ tax $4.41 w/o tax!

My total savings at CVS was $41.67!

I am really excited and pumped to start taking advantage of all the gas card deals from here on out! I mean I can always use a gas gift card and I don't mind all the "free" stuff either.

Have you taken advantage of the gas card deal this week? What did you get?
