I am like a little kid in a candy store at Rite Aid!! I get so excited to open up the Sunday papers to see what deals I can get! This week here are the deals I found:
Oreos 2/$5 = $1 up reward (UPR)
Raisins .88
Huggies 8.99 $2 UPR - $2 video coupon and $2 paper coupon= 2.99
Clorox bleach 1.97 -$1.00 of coupon= .97
Kotex 2/$6 $1 UPR and $1.50 coupon= 2/$3.50
Post Cereal 2/$4 $1 UPR and $1 coupon= 2/$2
Right Guard Men's Soap 3.99 $3 UPR and 1.00 coupon that is on the bottle= Free
Johnsons baby soap 2.99 $2 UPR and $1 coupon= Free
In the end by total bill was 28.50 but I used $9.50 from my Up rewards from last week so I spent $21 cash, and received $17 Up rewards for next week. So in the end I spent $4.00 after I use my up rewards!! This is a serious addiction I have. :) But it is fun! There are more deals on moneysavingmom.com, hip2save.com, or bargainbriana.com. Happy Shopping
Can you believe only $4.00!! That is what I would spend on 1 pack of oreos!!

Nate's first trip all by himself!!!
If you haven't shopped Rite Aid before they have some amazing deals!! There are two different ways to save at Rite Aid.
1) Wellness Card is simple and easy to do! You just ask a cashier to sign up for the wellness card and then you are ready to shop!! With the wellness card you will receive "up rewards" at the bottom of your receipt. They are used like cash.
So my Colgate purchase: Colgate was on sale for $2.99 but used my wellness card and received $2 back on my receipt. I also used .75 coupon so it was $.25.
2) Is the Single Check Rebate. In this store saver you purchase the listed product for the price in the Rite Aid Flyer, and then after you go to Riteaid.com and log into the Single Check Rebate Application and enter from your receipt: Store number, Register #, and Date of purchase. Then you claim your check at the end of the month. You may only claim it once so make sure you are finished for the month before you claim.
Scenario 2 is AMO Complete Multi purpose Solution
He paid $7.99 for the contact solution, and I entered receipt, so at the end of the month you claim your check. The check can be used to purchase stuff at Rite Aid or you can cash at the bank.
Nate's shopping trip broken down
Edy's Ice Cream 2.99 with $2 up Rewards
Edy's Ice Cream 2.99 with $2 up Rewards
Edy's Ice Cream 2.99 with $2 up Rewards
Edy's Ice Cream 2.99 with $2 up Rewards
Edy's Ice Cream 2.99 with $2 up Rewards
Edy's Ice Cream 2.99 with $2 up Rewards
Plus they offered $5 Up Rewards when you bought $15 of products on the designated page.
Colgate 2.99 with $2 up Rewards plus .75 coupon
Contact Solution 7.99 SCR 7.99
So in the end I received $19 in Up Rewards which remember is cash at the end of your receipt plus 7.99 coming at the end of the month which is 26.99 coming back, when we spent 28.87 I spent a total of $1.88 even more than I thought!!!!!! I then use the up rewards to get more deals next week!!!
If you have any questions feel free to ask!!

Breadmaker Cinnamon Rolls
So I am just in love with my breadmaker! It is such a life saver, not alone a mess saver! Breadmakers save you from stirring, kneading, and rising.
The cinnamon rolls took 1 1/2 hours in the breadmaker, and 20-30 minutes cook time.
Ingredients:
1 c milk
1/4 c water
1/4 c butter, softened
1 egg
1 tsp. salt
4 c bread flour
1/4 c instant vanilla pudding
1 T sugar
1 T active dry yeast
Place in bread machine in order given, using sweet dough setting. Roll dough out, place 1/8 cup whipping cream over dough. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Roll dough up, cut and place in greased pan. Makes one (9x13) and one (9 x 9) pan of rolls. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes, frost.
Frosting- 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, and 2 tbs milk.
Enjoy!!
