Winco Foods Beef Recall

I just got word that Winco Foods has recalled all trays of ground beef purchased at their stores between March 28th and April 9th, 2010. All trays of beef must be destroyed or returned for a full refund (no receipt necessary).

Click HERE for details on the recall.

I'm so upset about this! I bought a huge tray of the ground beef and made it into five meals worth of mozzarella-stuffed meatballs using my Fix, Freeze, Feast: Prepare in Bulk and Enjoy by the Serving - More than 125 Recipes cookbook. Now I have to throw it all away, and it took so much time and effort to make! Not to mention all the other ingredients that are now lost. Ugh. I'll just thank my lucky stars we haven't eaten any of it.

Monday Drugstore Deals

I hit up Rite Aid this morning to get some free diapers and try out my new Wellness+ Card! While I was there I discovered $2 peelies on the Hawaiian Tropic suncare (that is BOGO this week), so if you're in the market for those keep your eyes out! I also realized the Huggies are on sale for $8.99 this week, which threw me off a little (even though it was listed in the ad, duh!) so I had to improvise with the baby food but it actually turned out great.

Another exciting thing I discovered is that when my Wellness+ Card was sent to me in the mail, it came with a letter stating that they automatically started my card at the 10% off level (instead of having to work my way up to it)! So anything I buy with it at regular price now gets a 10% discount. Sweet! Just plan your scenarios as normal and hand the Wellness+ card LAST (after all coupons are scanned) to maximize your discount.

I also discovered today that when you scan your Wellness+ Card at checkout, some great Rite Aid coupons print at the bottom of your receipt! I got a $1 off $1.99+ dental care as well as a $1 off $1.99+ seasonal RAQ at the bottom of my receipts today. Sweet! Clip 'em and keep 'em for next week!

The Wellness+ 10% savings turned out awesome! I got a discount on the babyfood and the Pure & Natural hand soap. Plus I'm getting back a $3.49 SCR for the Kotex, so all this was free! And to top it off, I now have $4.47 towards the Gerber SCR for the month. I think I'll swing by a few more times this week and do some scenarios with vitamins, more Pure & Natural, and more babyfood to max that SCR out.

Good week this week at Rite Aid!
