2nd Shopping Trips = $0.00 OOP

I did the Staples special on cases of paper a few weeks ago. I received my $32.00 rewards card in the mail today. The card works just like a credit card (even though it says debit on the front). I was so excited this was in the mail when I got home from the shopping trips earlier today. I used the $32.00 card and got both the Publix and Bi-Lo trips at no additional OOP for me. I even stopped and got hubby a pizza and only had to pay $.23 for it! It was a good day for shopping. Now off to get my lists ready for the new grocery week and for my trips to the drug stores (which I'm surprised I haven't done yet).
