Warming up to Rite Aid

So, my drugstore of choice has always been CVS. Walgreens makes you stand on your head while doing jumping jacks over the moon in order to get all coupons to scan. And in the words of Jenny(Southern Savers), when the register beeps, it's game over and you go home. There are no overrides. You just go home. Never seems to work out well there for me. I had a very ugly, bad experience at Rite Aid one time over how many internet printed coupons I could use that left a bitter taste in my mouth. I never went back since then. Until today. Today was a great Rite Aid trip! I actually made .51 to shop there today! Here's what I got:That is 2 Cover Girl foundations, 2 CG mineral powders, Almay eyeshadow and Almay eyeline(my favorite eyeliner by the way!). Order total: $4.49 and I will be getting back $5 in Rite Aid's "Single Check Rebate" (SCR) program. So, I made .51!
How did I do that???
Cover Girl face products are Buy One Get One(B1G1) right now and I had a 2 B1G1 coupons from the news paper(P&G 2-7 insert).
Which made the CG items FREE!
The Almay eye products were B1G1 @$7.49 with a $5 SCR when you buy 2 products.
On top of that, I used a $3 off $15 Rite Aid coupon. Print here
Making my order total $4.49.

I added it up and had I paid full price it would have been $64.34. Not even counting the rebate, I saved 59.85!! Yes, I know drugstore prices are way higher than Target and Walmart. But you still could not have gotten all that I did for $4.49 plus a rebate at any supercenter in the world!
Yes, think I am warming up to Rite Aid....

Here is a link to the Southern Savers Rite Aid weekly ad if you'd like to check out all the current deals there. I think I am going back for some free John Freida products after work. I'm on a Rite Aid roll!
