Magnificent Monday....Rite Aid & Kelloggs!

I started my day downtown with my amazing sister-in-law Tabrina, getting my hair done at her salon.  While downtown, I thought to myself, "I should stop by the downtown Rite Aid and see if they have the 'free' items in stock."  (especially since my 2 Meridian Rite Aid's are OUT of all the free items I want).  I stopped and was SO glad I did!  They had everything I was looking for:

I purchased:
4 bottles of Nivea Body Wash ($2.74 each with Rain Check) and I used (4) $3/1 coupons
6 boxes Tylenol Precise heat patches, on sale for $5 each, I used (6) $5/1 coupons
2 boxes Rite Aid brand Q-tips, on sale Buy one get one 1/2 price
1 Loofa (I need one for the body wash!)
I had (2) $4 Up Rewards from the Beauty Tool special last week, I used to both of them totalling $8.
OOP $2.72

Then I got home and found these little beauties in my mailbox!
 
These are $10 prepaid Visa cards from Kelloggs, to be used for Gas.  About a month ago Kelloggs was offering a $10 Prepaid Visa for 10 UPC's of select Kelloggs cereal boxes.  Couple that incentive with an awesome Albertsons sale, after coupons and 'doublers' I paid $.67 per box.  Paying $.67 per box and recieving $1 per box back from Kelloggs means I made $.33 per box.  Since the limit from Kelloggs was 5 cards per household, I made an order for 50 boxes.  (There are only 4 cards shown, because 1 is still in the mail)

We couldn't possibly eat 50 boxes of cereal before they expire, so we hapily donated 30 boxes, along with 9 gallons of milk (Albertsons was also running a 'free milk with the purchase of 3 boxes of cereal' promo at the same time....it was an amazing Albertsons week!) to the City Light Shelter for Battered Women & Children in downtown Boise. 

Total, I profited $16.50 off the 50 cereal boxes, plus we were able to 'share the wealth' with those in need....making for a MAGNIFICENT MONDAY!
