Shoprite, Target, Rite Aid, Kmart

I was getting homesick so I made a trip back to NJ for a long weekend. Since my strawberries are producing, I felt like strawberry shortcake and splurged on full-price ingredients:

Shoprite (forgot to photograph):
2 Half-gallon Turkey Hill ice cream, $1.99 each =$3.98
2 dozen Eggland's Best eggs, $1.77 each, used 2 $0.35 MQ doubled = $2.14
Bisquick (ack! the coupon came out a day later!) = $3.69
2 2L Coke products, $0.79 each = $1.58
Box Marcal tissues, $1.59, used free item MQ = FREE
$0.11 tax
Total = $13.19

Ryan and I went to NYC for a day and got lunch at Subway. Two foot-long subs plus one large drink = $12.99

I also stocked us up on kitty litter at Target:
Each 35 pound bucket was $11.99, which is a good price to begin with, but you also get a $5 Target GC when you purchase two. I did two transactions to make sure that I got two GCs. It's a good thing we get cat food for free, because this is a lot of money for stuff for the cats to pee and poop on, sheesh!
4 buckets litter, $11.99 each, used 2 $1 MQ (ran out, wish I had two more) = $45.96
1 Wholesome Goodness wet food, $0.79, used free item MQ = FREE
$2.71 tax
Total: $48.67
Earned $10 Target GCs


Rite Aid:

Complete contact lens solution, $7.99 minus $2 MQ = $5.99
Morton's salt = $0.89
Total = $6.88
Will get $7.99 Single Check Rebate for the Complete

  1. Interesting Blog, I have been running a Financial blog also and it looks like we started around the same time this year, I'm also from south jersey. I also have a website you might be interested in, its called www.sjrates.com and i designed it to give back the power to the people in this economy. The site allows residents of south jersey to easily find which of their local banks or credit unions have the best interest rates on loans and cd's, check it out if you get a second, thanks, good luck with the blog and your financial goals!
