Rite Aid Shopping... rarely as planned!

When I first started shopping at Rite Aid, I'd have my little list and calculations and all my scenarios figured out perfectly. They rarely went as planned, so now I just have a big list of things I might get (if they have them) and try to keep track as I go through my shopping how close I am to $25... I ended up going to both local stores today because I didn't have so much luck with the first trip.
