Valentines Day Card for Kids: BOGO Free at Rite Aid and other Valentine options...

Rite Aid has boxed Valentine cards on sale this week Buy One, Get One Free. Great deal if you have two or more kids! The boxes with 33 cards are $1.99 and there are some boxes with 16 pencils for $3.99 that are also included in the sale.

The drug stores are all carrying individually wrapped chocolate candies ($4 bag) and lollipops ($2 bag of 20) that already have the To/From label on the wrapper. Generally a really good price for a mini chocolate bar or a larger lollipop is 10 cents a piece or less. Pixie sticks are the cheapest candy you can find at two-three pennies a piece on sale, last Halloween I found them at Wal-Mart in a package of 100, they are also sold at Smart & Final.

UPDATE 2/1: I wrote this last week. The Rite Aid sale is over. Keep your eyes open for sales where the candy is 10 cents a piece or cheaper and you've got a bargain. I didn't see Pixie Sticks at my recent Wal-Mart trip, and brand name Valentine candy was going for 15-20 cents a piece, no real bargains. There might be some coupons for candy out there, or there might be bigger sales next week.
