Add $2.90 for Tax
I paid $33.22 including Tax (I used $11 in rewards from my last trip so my out of pocket was only $22.22)

Extreme Couponing

I've been trying to get the hang of Extreme Couponing. I scored very well today at Rite Aid.


Here's what I got:
2- 50 oz bottles of Purex Laundry Soap Reg Price 5.99 ea
2- Oral B Satin Floss for Teeth Reg Price 3.99 ea
2- Colgate 360 Toothbrushes Reg Price 4.99 ea
1-Aquafresh Toothpaste Reg Price 3.99
Total without sales or coupons would be $35.45 including tax
Sale price brought it down to $19.92 (you can save a lot just by watching for sales)
I had $7.00 in coupons bringing it to $12.92
I got $11.00 in up rewards ($11 off my next purchase)

That makes my grand total...drum roll please....$1.92 including Tax

Another way to look at it is that I got them for .28 cents each
Not bad!
