Reader Shopping Trip: Rite Aid

The links in the post below may be affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

Who can resist all the great deals at Rite Aid this week.  Sarah made a few trips to Rite Aid herself.

I just wanted to tell you about (and thank you for) my awesome shopping trip at Riteaid yesterday! I got a ton of stuff and walked away with more money than I started with! Since my husband got a 20% pay cut a couple of weeks ago, we really need all the help we can get. Your website has helped so much! Thank you!

Also, I am excited that, after 2 months of couponing, I finally have my stockpile big enough that I have extra to donate!  On that note, I am curious if you know whether or not animal shelters take donations. I can not have a dog because of my landlord, but was wondering if I could get the free treats and stuff to give to a shelter.

Here are my 4 different Trans. I actually went to 3 different RiteAid: a) so I didn’t feel as bad about buying multiples, and b) because I am a sissy and cannot stand to have cashiers and other customers give me bad looks for taking up their time

Great job Sarah.  And yes, animal shelters do take donations.  And don’t worry about those bad looks from others.  Stand proud and know that you are saving so much for your family!  I mean, honestly, how can you pay full price.  It’s crazy!
