1st off dont worry I waited to the last day of the sale and I went to 2 different Rite-Aids and price matched at Wal-Mart although I could have profitted More if I had got the all from Rite-Aid. I bought 20 Carefree Panty liners on sale for $1 and I just $1 coupons. 30 Tylenol Presice on sale for $5 with $5 coupons. I earned 3 weekend warrior +ups of $10 each so if you subtract the $3 that I paid for the coupons (I know alot of you in the chat on Wed always want that cost factored in I still came out on top $27! WooHoo!
FOOD GIANT --
(Today is double coupon day up to a dollar at Food Giant. This is impressive because Food Giant doesn't accept internet printables.)

A few side notes: The Walgreens I went to doesn't put the sale price on all the items that are on sale so I spent quite a bit of time rechecking the sale paper just to be sure I had the right items. Also, I also planned on getting the buy one, get one free Kleenex, but I guess a shelf clearer must have beat me there
