Coupon Total....$21.00

$21.11-$21.00=$.11 OOP--put on Free Rite-Aid Gift Card=ZERO out of pocket
SCR qualifed for....$3(Pantene)** & $5 Gift Card(P&G items)

The $3 Pantene SCR is a "special rebate" I received notice of in an email from Rite-Aid.  I do believe it's not so special really since everyone who is signed up for the Wellness Program got this notice.lol

And I have a big bone to pick with Rite-Aid due to this transaction.
When I bought the 3 Old Spice items I was SUPPOSE to receive a $4 +Up Rewards that prints on the end of the receipt(like a CVS Extra Care Buck).....but it didn't print!
The cashier(who is the front end manager btw)warned me that the last person who bought the Old Spice items and used Old Spice ManuQs in her payment also did NOT get the +Up Reward.  I told the cashier that I had bought the same items earlier in the week, using those same Qs and the +Up Reward did print......and now, while the offer was still valid and the tags were on the shelf and said NOTHING about not getting the Reward if you used coupons, the Reward didn't print!!
What's up with this Rite-Aid?
I am NOT happy with you!!!
Has anyone else had this problem with their +Up Reward NOT PRINTING?!?  Let us know, willya?!

So I went to finish off my SCR#555(Skin Care) and now did NOT have that $4 +Up Reward to bring down my OOP total.  I did however, have my $20 Allergy Rewards Certificate that came in the mail last week.

Transaction #2

1 x Sea Breeze Cleaner $5.29 w/Welllness 20% discount=$4.23

$20.22-$20.00=$.22+ $.02 tax=$.24 OOP--put on Free Rite-Aid Gift Card so ZERO Out of Pocket

SCR qualifed for....$3(Sea Breeze) & the Neutrogena purchase took me over the $50 Skin Care items mark so I also qualify for the $25 Gift Card now + the Bonus $5 Gift Card for completing SCR#555.
In additional there is a $15 Mail-In Rebate(MIR)for this Neutrogena Clinical product.

1 more transaction to finish out the week, this time for my BIL's account....

$19.97-$14.19=$5.78 OOP--put on Free Rite-Aid Gift Card so ZERO Out of Pocket
SRC qualified for....$5(Razor),$7.99(Blink Tears)=$12.99

Here again, I didn't figure the lower price on the Razor as it was on sale, so my total was just under $20.  They took the $5 off $20 Q anyway again.
I found another razor with the $5 Survey inside.  Tried to use it for BIL and was told "thanks but we have enough responses." Dangit....
