Yeah, THAT crazy coupon one...
Reader Erica sent in her Kinney Drugs Shopping trip this week. She found a whole bunch of Clearance finds that gave her FREE products.
She found Covergirl LipGloss on Clearance for only $1.00 – FREE with the 1/29 P&G $1 off one and $2.50 off two Covergirl coupons.
She found 2 Stride gum packs on clearance for $0.30 ea and I had a $1 off 2 coupon for those – making them FREE also!
She spent only $0.78 on all this after clearance and coupons!
Great job Erica! Thanks for sending it in!

Reader Elizabeth emailed me a picture of her Rite Aid trip this week. She spent $37.50 and saved $92.25 with my wellness card/markdowns and $15 with coupons!
Here is what she had to say about her trip:
My Rite Aid is in Syracuse and they just marked down the Christmas gifts to 75% off. I got the larger zen fountains for $3.24 each, the small one for $1.99 and the football games for $2.49 each! All are going right downstairs to start my Christmas pile for next year.The digital frames also have recorable message features and were just $2.49 each and are perfect for upcoming mother’s day & father’s day gifts (the kids will record sweet messages for their dad’s office and for their grandparents). The timer is going right to use, it can be programmed for 7 days with different settings and was just $3.24.The Venus razor set was marked down to $5.99 and can be used with the $5 off Venus razor and cartridge coupon from the 1/1/12 P&G insert. The kit includes 1 razor, 2 cartridges, shave gel, body lotion, a showerpod & travel case.
I did a big shopping trip last night but my store was out of cereal, so I went back this morning to pick up my cereal this week at Price Chopper. I spent $11 on all this, I did 2 separate transactions so that I could use (2) in ad coupons, I split up each transaction so that there were 3 Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and 2 Multi-Grain Cheerios. Price Chopper has a limit of 4 ‘like’ coupons per transaction, so to get around that I split them up in this way. Cinnamon Toast Crunch was my favorite cereal, because I am eating Gluten Free now – it was a sad day to buy all of this knowing I can’t eat any of it 
Transaction #1:
Buy (3) Cinnamon Toast Crunch @ $2.00 each (5/$10 w/ in ad coupon)
Buy (2) Multi Grain Cheerios (5/$10 w/ in ad coupon)
Buy (3) Cinnamon Toast Crunch @ $2.00 each (5/$10 w/ in ad coupon)
Buy (2) Multi Grain Cheerios (5/$10 w/ in ad coupon)
Bought (2) Johnsonville Chicken Sausage B1G1 FREE and $3.99
4 Pizza dough – Buy 1 Get 3 FREE $1.99
