01/09/12 ~ 2 70 count lil critter gummy vites. $6.79 each, they were part of a BOGO sale, so that made them 2 for $6.79, then I used a $1/1 coupon, dropping the price to $5.79, then I used a $5 +UP I had, making them $.79. After taxes I paid $.93, saved $12.79 a 93% savings. I also walked out with another $2 +UP, so technically I got paid $1.07 to take them out of the store!

$20 Drug Store Challenge
Several of the blogs I follow have joined up to do a $20 Drug Store Challenge. Not only are they hosting the challenge, but they are also participating, and sharing their deals. I thought this would be fun to try. I may not be quite as good at saving money as they are, but I think I can do ok! So here's all the info for it!
I saw several of the blogs I follow post this, but I got the info for my post from moneysavingmichelle
I will do 1 post for Walgreens to keep track of them (tho I admit, I don't shop there very often) and I'll do another post for Rite-Aid (this is where I do most of my drug store shopping) to keep them separate.
How I am doing
Walgreens ~ $9.94 left out of $20
CVS ~ $12.41 left out of $20
Rite Aid ~ -$1.68 left out of $20 ~ challenge is done
Here is how the challenge works:
- Start with $20 set aside for each drug store you shop at.
- We will be shopping at Rite Aid, Walgreens and CVS, but maybe you have another drug store you frequent, any is fine!
- The goal of the challenge is to see how long and far you can stretch the $20.
- We will be maximizing our savings with Coupons, Rewards, Rebates and Sales.
- Each week we will share what we buy, how we saved and what we spend.
- You can post your trips on the linky provided each week! (or you can leave a comment about your trip)
We hope that you will join us and share how far you can stretch $20.00!
