SHARING THE WEALTH  (I've already sliced and diced what I am interested in):

This is an awesome deal!  3 for $3 dollar (page 10 of this week's circular). This works great for me, because I so happen to need at least 3 of these things.  lol.  Well, yes, I do.  The circled check marks are first in line.

They also have some other great deals this week.  Check your local RiteAid flyer for the sale in your area:  GET CIRCULAR (enter zip code)  I checked a few other cities and found they had the same circular as I do.

Did I ever tell you that I love a sale?  Well, I DO.  LOVE,  LOVE,  LOVE  them.  We ARE Besties!!!  And the other thing that I like so much more than a Sale, is telling everybody about it.  If I get the deal, I want everyone else to get the deal too.  Just say, I love sharing.  :)

Well, I am here to say, "BIG DEAL".  I often say, "You can always ask--because you never know what the outcome will be until you do."  So, essentially: Nothing Beats a No, but a YES -- A BIG FAT yes!
