A Couple of Stops in Rockland Today

We ran around Rockland today getting estimates from Lowe's & Home Depot on decking.  After 20 years the back deck is in need of an overhaul.  So while Davey Baby did that I ran into Staples & Shaw's.

Most of what I picked up was pretty predictable.  I didn't need anymore pens but thought I could include them in an Operation Christmas Child Shoebox.  Not sure if they're a good idea or not but I have them on hand if it turns out they are.

The second stop was Shaw's.

Today's Rite Aid Trip

I ventured in to Rite Aid before picking my family up from camp this morning.  Here's what I picked up:

(4) Carefree Liners @ $1.00 ea.
- (2) $ .50/1 Carefree product from the 8/21 SS
- (2) $ .50/1 Carefree product from recent free sample offers
Paid $2.00
Received (4)  $1.00 +UP Rewards
FREE + $2.00 money maker

(2) Bags of M&M Candies @ $2.50 ea.

I read on other blogs that they received an extra 'mystery' +UP Reward when purchasing the Carefree products that would make them free even if you didn't have coupons.  I didn't receive this mystery +UP Reward so I think they may have fixed it or it didn't apply to the particular style Carefree liner I chose. 

(6) King Size Candy Bars $1.00 ea.

Paid $4.00
Received $1.00 +UP Reward

So in all I paid $12.00 and received $9.00 in +UP Rewards.  Net $3.00. What did you pick up at Rite Aid this week?

Maine Mondays

This month I wanted to share some wonderful Maine blogs that I have stumbled across while searching the web.  They've become silent friends that I like to check in on and visit now and again.  I've come to love them for their simplicity.  Their sites are places I go to to rest and reflect.  I always come away inspired!  

Nostalgic in Maine is a site I stumbled across when I searched the web for a non-toxic way to clean silver.  Her Trash To Treasure - Literally  was my first introduction to her site.  From this post I knew I had found a kindred spirit. 

Her love of Goodwill, and the interesting finds she acquires, feeds the treasure hunter inside of me.  With a motto of "Better for Less!" , I knew her site would be a good fit with thrifty Money Saving Maine-iac readers.

So stop by and give her a visit.  Enjoy her posts and feel free to leave a little bloggy love in the comment sections of her posts if you feel inspired to do so.

Kids Workshops are FREE "How To Workshops" designed for children ages 5-12. The hands on sessions are offered on the first Saturday of each month.

The workshops teach children do-it-yourself skills and tool safety, while at the same time helping to instill a sense of accomplishment. Additionally, this fun time allows for quality one-on-one time between adults and children.
