Rite-Aid Spent $2.11, Saved $62.68 (97%)

*** I forgot when I orignally typed up this post that my first transaction I used a gift card from a rebate offer to pay, so my out of pocket on both transactions was only $1.30 and my total savings was $6.49 (98%)

Don't ya just love a great toilet paper deal? It will always get used and never goes bad! Which is why I was super excited about Rite-Aid's deal on bath and facial tissue this week - Buy one at $1, Get back a $1 +Up Reward, which makes it like free. Originally there was no limit, however, couponers fled to the Rite-Aid in masses on Sunday clearing shelves and depleting inventory, so by Monday morning Rite-Aid had imposed a 3 per wellness card limit! Its not as exciting when you only get to add a few packages to your stock pile. I headed there today to get my FREE toilet paper (but none to be found) and a few other items:
