Rite Aid Shopping Trip 5/27/2015

My $0.75 Froot Loops coupons were expiring today so I wanted to stop into Rite Aid to use them up since Kellogg's cereal is on sale again. The store was completely out of Foot Loops, the cashier said they had quite a few boxes and someone came in and bought them all earlier in the day. With what time I was in the store I knew I would not be able to make it to another store before they closed unfortunately so sadly my coupons expired.

I was able to find some Band-Aids on clearance though and this store had the old bags still with the $5.00 off 3 coupons so I decided to do the deal. I was hoping the store would have enough cheaper Band-Aids or Gauze so I could max the deal out but unfortunately the cheaper Band-Aids were cleared out and there were only 2 gauze so I only did the deal once.  If I were not still trying to build my points I might have picked up some of the more expensive Band-Aids.  We are also fairly stocked on bandages and gauze right now so I decided to just do the best moneymaker I could to help build my points.

Typically I would wait and see if they get more gauze in later in the week because the trucks were due to arrive this Friday but due to the holiday this week the trucks were pushed to Tuesday of next week.  This means it has been over two and a half weeks since the stores have received new stock and many are quite low or completely out of items.
