living simply and embracing imperfection
…ncluding an Internet Rite Aid coupon for “$5 off of a $25 purchase” that they have been releasing regularly), and weekly sales, I have gotten free or really inexpensive items.
As an example, last week I got 2 packages of Kotex pads, 2 large packages of Carefree liners, 2 small Aveeno lotions, and 2 Dove Clinical deodorants all for $1.15! My actual out-of-pocket was $11.15, but I will carry the $10 until the end of the month, su…

*I hardly ever buy this many of something- I much prefer to get the things I need. Two things made me buy 10 today: 1. We like them and they make great gifts and can be added to Operation Christmas Boxes and 2. Rite Aid had these priced on the dollar (2.00 each) and all the other Nivea qualifying items were priced at $3.99 or $5.99- meaning I’d always be two or three cents short of the $20 needed for the +up reward (which…
