It’s official… We all three have colds. And we used the last cold pill this morning. That meant a run to some store to pay full price – minus the $1 coupon I had – for some cold meds. That didn’t thrill me, so I started to think a little more creatively.
There’s a lot available for free at Rite Aid this week, and there are $5 off $25 and $3 off $15 printable coupons available. I knew there had to be a way to make that work for us. Here’s what we ended up with.
