Rite Aid is making me happier than usual lately.  I have taken terrible advantage of the plentiful $5/$20 and $5/$25 coupons that they put out in combination with the Bayer Contour and Breeze testing kits coupons.  Buying one of them and using a coupon to make it free means that I can then use a purchase-based coupon to get five dollars worth of stuff for free.  I’m just not paying that much out of pocket, which is a nice change.  I’m doing a lot more stuff like this:

I finally found some more Contours at Walgreens on Saturday afternoon!  They were unloading totes and I happened by an employee who asked if I needed help finding anything.  I’ve never had a Walgreens employee offer to look for something in particular while they’re unloading, but this one went to find one for me.  I left a couple just because I am nice, but it was tempting to clear the shelves. It’s not my Walgreens anyway… haha.  Kidding!  It’s a store on the way up to my parent’s house, about 45 minutes from here.

I did the math on this in the car after we left, and I lack the motivation to do it again. I don’t remember the exact number we arrived at, but it was approximately $40 worth of profit on the above.  I love drugstores.
