2/27/11 - Rite Aid and KFC

Ok, so now I'm getting myself really, really messed up.  I'm changing "Crew" assignments at work.  Starting this week I will be working what has normally been my days off and be off on the days I normally work.  Since today is the first day of a new pay period, I should be off, but there's no one to cover the vacant spot for dayshift so I stayed over for 6 hours (worked another 18) and then I have to be back at 5:30 am tomorrow.  I was really tired when I left at 11:30 (what's new?), but I stopped at 2 different Rite Aid's on my way home to see if I could score some free potato chips.  I ended up getting 9 containers of potato chips for totally FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I really love Free.  Here's how I did it.

I got +up Rewards back on this transaction too.  I got 6 $1 +up Rewards to replace the 3 $2 +up Rewards that I used.

I only took one picture for both transactions.

I went home and went to bed for about 4 hours, I had to make sure I got up so I could go back to work the next morning.  When I got up Chris and Kristen were hungry and as usual I didn't feel like cooking so they decided we would go to KFC for dinner.  I did have a coupon to use, but the savings wasn't near as great as my Rite Aid purchase was.

The meal included 12 pieces of chicken, 3 large sides, and 4 biscuits.  We actually got 5 biscuits because one of the biscuits broke in half when it was put in the box so we got 4 whole biscuts and one biscuit that was broken in half.  Since there was only 3 of us eating there was enough left over to make another meal for us.  I guess 2 meals for 3 people for $25.75 isn't too bad for going out to eat.
