I finished the month of September spending $149.14.  That is my final cost after all my rebates are deducted.  Some of my rebates are instant in store rebates like extra care bucks at CVS, register rewards at Walgreens and up rewards at Rite Aid.  I consider the gas points I earn at Giant to be a form of a rebate.  And then there are mail in rebates.  To view my transactions and see all coupon and rebate information, click the links above.
