Out of pocket at Rite Aid

You'll notice my out of pocket amounts at Rite Aid are low.  I just wanted to clarify that even though my out of pocket is low it doesn't really come out of my pocket, rather the money I spend at Rite Aid comes from rebates I have earned by submitting my receipts to Rite Aid's Single Check Rebate (SCR) program.  Every month Rite Aid had certain items that offer a rebate if you purchase them.  I have actually not spent a dime of money at Rite Aid since December 19, 2009, it has all been rebate money.   Yeah me !!!

My first blog post

I've been an extreme couponer for over a year now so I figured it was time to start my own coupon blog.  I have saved so much money I hope that this blog will help others.

I will have my blog open to anyone for just a few days.  So if you want to follow my blog make sure and join. If you have any questions or comments let me know.
