Bought This Week at Rite-Aid....Part I

Here's what I've bought this week at Rite-Aid.

Sunday's trip....


2 x Gain Hand Soap on sale .88¢=$1.76
2 x Motrin PM w/wellness disc.$5.03=$10.06
2 x Rite-Aid Coffee on sale $1.99=$3.98
4 x Reese's PB Cups on sale .50¢=$2.00
1 x Oral-B Toothbrush on sale=$2.99
1 x Men's Winter Hat on sale 50%=$.499
SubTotal...$25.78

Value....$41.08
Qs Used....$18.00
OOP...$.78 put on Rite-Aid gift card
+Ups used...$7.00
+Ups received....$8.00($1 wyb 4 candy bars,2 x $3 Motrin, $1 Oral-B) , making this a $1 moneymaker.

*Analysis....
--Our area received .50¢ Gain hand soap Qs, so the Gain on sale for .88¢ this week is .38¢ per bottle after Q.
--The Hershey brand candy bars are .50ea. this week and when you buy 4 you get a $1 +Ups back, making them .25¢ each.  If you have coupons, they are even less.  (I used the BOGO Reese's Qs so these 4 candy bars cost me ZERO after the +Ups.)
--The Motrin PM priced at $5.03 after 20% wellness discount was $3.03 after in-ad Q. I received $3 +Ups for buying it, so after +Ups it cost me .03¢.  At another store the after wellness discount price was $4.79, making it a .21¢ moneymaker for each bottle I bought.
--The Rite-Aid coffee is on sale for $1.99 this week.   There is a $2 off Rite-Aid coffee Q Rite-Aid has emailed some wellness members, making the coffee free this week.  **Next week the HUGE cans of R-A coffee are going to be $5.99 and produce a $2 +Up Reward, so after Q and +Ups, each can will cost you $1.99 for 33 oz.
--The winter hat is 50% off this week and someone here requested one for Xmas.  ;-)

* Analysis....
--The Clearasil, after 20% Wellness discount, In-Ad Q and +Ups is either .39¢ for the regular stuff or .19¢(or .59¢ at the higher priced store)for the overnight variety.
--The Pick-up Sticks are one of the toys 25% off and generated a $2 +Ups this week, so a .06¢ moneymaker after discount and +Up Rewards.

  3. Looks like your RA stocks Sierra Mist from the same distribution center that my RA gets Diet Coke ;)

    Nice shops! I thought about doing the cans of coffee, but opted to pass (not sure why - I think I'm afraid of running out of space already in my new "girl cave" LOL!).

    Have a wonderful Christmas!!!!
