I had to run in to town to check out a family surprise. (I'll get to that later) but made a quick stop at Rite-Aid for the following Free-After-Rebate items.  Amazingly, they were all in stock. If you stop in and they're not, ask for a Rain Check and pick them up next week. The Monthly Rebate will still be good. Simply buy your items then go to www.riteaid.com and click on the box that says Single Check Rebates. Sign up and you can simply enter the store number and register number from your receipt and they'll automatically credit you for the items you purchased. At the end of the month, simply request your check. I've even forgotten to request my check and they sent an email letting me know that they requested it for me! Today I got the below items which will be totally free for me!

Organix shampoo $5.49

Herbal Essence Long Term Shampoo $2.99 (in yummy raspberry, for my daughter)

And a disposable camera with flash $10.99 that I will give to my eight year old as part of his birthday goodies.

Nearly $20 in goodies for nothing but tax.  YAY!!

And now for the reason I went to town.....

The adorable little sweetie in the front is ours and will be ready to come live with us around July 4th. We have one Shih Tzu and I've been wanting another for awhile. However, the kids had no idea I was looking and are totally shocked and extrememly excited.
