Rite Aid Shopping Trip 3/21/2015

I know it has been a while since I have posted anything but I have been very sick this week.  The illnesses seem to be continuously passed around my household recently.  Started with Lily getting sick and since at least one person has been sick every day and we have gone from one illness to another.  Needless to say we have not been anywhere at all this week until today.  Thankfully my husband was willing to drive me to the store because my head was still so congested I did not feel confident driving myself. 

First we stopped into Rite Aid.  I had $20.00 in +UPs that unfortunately expired on me during the week but one of my local stores is very friendly and one manager will typically allow me to use them within a few days of expiration.  Unfortunately she was not there but the manager that was said he was willing to let me use them.  It pays to make friends with the store associates!  Since it was the last day of the sale though they did not have most of what I was looking to purchase so I had to get a few rain checks on items.  We ended up getting a large market umbrella to help use up my expired and expiring +UPs but I was fine with it since I need to spend them down.  It is something I am sure we will get good use out of when my husband is grilling on the back deck.

I did three transactions; I forgot to get a gallon of milk with my first transaction and the card I used for the second did not have a gold discount.
