Just another day.

Made my weekly trip to Rite Aid today....and of course some of my favorite deals were already sold out.  It's always a bummer when there is something you want or need and the shelves are picked clean.  I used to get really frustrated by this.  Now, I just smile and move on.  There are two main reasons I don't let it get to me.  Number one is I already have a pretty good stockpile so I'm not in desperate need of anything.  Number two is that I have learned the beauty of rain checks!   I want to encourage all of you to get them too if they are out of a deal you were hoping to get!  At Rite Aid if the sale you want includes any UPs they will write that on the rain check for you....so don't be afraid to ask!  And don't miss out on any good deal because someone else came before you and bought all 20 of the deodorants they had on the shelf.

Also want to mention that Albertsons is having double coupons until Tuesday.  So get in there and get twice the value of your coupon.  My favorite site to see the deals you can get with the the doublers is Coupon Connections NW.   Definitely check it out if you need help looking for the best deals. 

One of the deals she talks about is a Snapple promotion that is running...

At Albertsons....Snapple 6 pack bottles are on sale for 2/ $10.....but when you buy $25 you get a catalina (one of those extra receipt type coupons that print at the register) for $10 off your next purchase.  There were also $1/1 coupons in the 1/30 inserts....and you can double up to 3 of those!  Now to make it even sweeter Snapple is offering a mail in rebate!!!  Here is the deal as outlined on Coupon Connections:

Buy 5 Snapple $5 each
use (5) $1/1 coupons from 1/30 SS insert

use (3) DoublesPay: $17  and receive $10 catalina, and submit for 5 rebates 
Final Price: FREE + $13 money maker after rebate
