Pre-Thanksgiving Deal Fix

I am pretty much saving all my coupon skillz for Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, when I GIVE THANKS that drugstore deals start on Thanksgiving Day and I do NOT have to shop on Black Friday.  I never shop on Black Friday, I am far too claustrophobic to try and beat the crowds.  Can you say “there are no savings worth a panic attack??” I CAN!  But anyhoo, I did want to get to Rite Aid to get myself some of my fave Viva paper towels today and also to get this good deal on the “toy of the week” – a Nerf Gun which I bought for Sophie to give Joshua for Christmas.  It was on sale for $9.99 with a $2 +UP reward back, which is a really good price!  Here’s how I worked my deal:

DSC05999

Viva $6.99
Nerf Gun $9.99
Motrin PM $4
Lime Crush 2 Liter $1.34 (this was totally and impulse buy and it is SOOO GOOOOOD. I had never seen it before! It is going to become my new carbonated obsession!)
AMO contact solution $7.99
total = $30.31

coupons:

-$5/$25 Rite Aid printable

-$2 Motrin PM from this Sunday’s inserts

-$1 Motrin PM Rite Aid video values printable

-$6 +UP Rewards from last week

=$17.31

I got back $2 +UP Rewards for the Nerf Gun, $1 for the Viva, and will get back a $7.99 Single Check Rebate for the AMO contact solution and a $2 Single Check Rebate for the Motrin PM.  Making my net expense a little over $5 for all that!  Not bad for a Christmas present and my must-have paper towels!!

I can’t wait til Black Friday when there are tons of good deals!  Crystal at the Thrifty Mama has them posted here. What are YOU planning to get??
