yesterday's shopping trip

Ok, yesterday............was a long day. Like freakishly long. I had a bunch of UP rewards to spend, so first I went to Rite Aid. I got:

3 packs of Skittles, on sale for .50 each and used (3) .25 VV (video values) coupons= .75/3 (I think I also had a $1 coupon but I don't remember on how many- which would have been slight overage)
6 Alka Seltzer powders $5 each- (5) $3 coupons = $12/6
2 Samy Hair products, BOGOF $4.99/2, used (2) $2 VV coupons= .99/2
2 king sized Twix bars $1.59 BOGOF= $1.59
1 Pet rock (don't ask) $1.49
I also used a $5/$25 coupon
$1 VV (general) coupon
7 UP rewards

I paid $3.71 OOP and received $24 in UP rewards

Walgreens was my next stop. I bought:

1 AirWick candle $3.99, used $2 coupon= $1.99
3 Mentos gum with in-ad coupon .99 each, used (3) $1 coupons= FREE plus .03 overage
1 Trident Layers with in ad coupon .99, used .75 coupon= .24
2 Purex 3-in-one sheets $4.50 each, used (2) $3 coupons= $3/2
1 Contact Cold and Flu $6.00
1 Colgate sensitive $3.49
3 rolls Scotch tape with in-ad coupon .49 each (I needed tape and this was my filler because 1 coupon covers all 3, so other coupons can attach to the other 2)

I also used previous RR in the amounts of $2.60 and $8
I paid $7.23 including tax
I received:
$1 RR for candle
$1 RR for Purex
$6 RR for Contact
$3.50 RR for Colgate

I am pretty satisfied with how it turned out. :)
I guess I'm going to venture back to Kroger in the next day or two. I had stopped going much because they are kind of ticking me off with the coupon thing. First, it was only 3 like coupons per order, and other stores (Food Lion <3)>:(
