Lovely Fun at Rite-Aid this Week!....Bringing FREE Stuff Home Again

While I didn't even bother to go to Rite-Aid last week.....I don't know, the thought of cheap or free Deodorant and more Herbal Essences Poo did nothing for me.....I went back on Sunday to scoop us some good buys!

Here's what I bought.  I started this week with NO +Up Rewards Coupons to use since some didn't print the week before and I just got off the phone with Corporate now and they are mailing the +Up Rewards to me.

1 x Sunday paper w/20% Wellness Discount=$1.20
2 x Purex 3-in-1 Sheets on sale $3.00=$6.00
1 x Nice 'N Easy Hair Color on sale $7.49 but I got it for less w/20% Wellness Discount=$6.39
1 x Colgate Toothpaste on sale=$2.99
SubTotal....$19.58  **Again, I hadn't planned on the discount on the hair coloring so I am under $20.**

+Up Rewards earned....$1Purex(WYB2), $2Colgate, $2 Nice 'n Easy,$3Motin=$8
SCR qualified for.....$3(Nice 'n Easy)=$3.00


Rite-Aid sent out another of those "special secret" SCRs for Nice 'n Easy last week so check your emails from Rite-Aid.  Go through the link in the email and if you bought Nice 'n Easy you can get a $3 rebate on it.

ONLY the PUREX Reward did NOT print!  And the 2 clerks working the weekend shift had no clue about what to do to correct the situation other than to say to come back during the week and speak with the MOD.  So I just called Corporate and they are mailing me the +Up Reward.
So going into the next scenario I had $7 in +Up Qs, not $8.

Transaction #2 was a major screw up because of me....lol....

2 x Bounty Basic towels on sale .99¢=$1.98
2 x U Kotex on sale $3.50=$7.00

$20.61-$15.50=$5.11
**The cashier put in an extra $1 Q somehow so it became ....$20.61-$16.50=$4.11 OOP put on a free Gift Card for ZERO OUT OF POCKET.

Well that wasn't right either.  After I got to the car I checked the receipt and saw I FORGOT TO GIVE THE CASHIER my $5 off $20 Purchase Q!
Ugh!
So I went right back in and told them about the forgotten Q and the extra $1 that came off my receipt.
Neither of the clerks wanted to deal with having to cancel the sale and reringing everything so they just took my $5 off $20 Q and scanned it into the register(which worked)and he opened the drawer and handed me a $5 bill.
Hey, cash works for me!!lolol

If I had given him the $5/$20 Q to begin with and that extra $1 hadn't come off my total, my transaction would have been $20.61-$20.50=$.11 OOP--put on a gift card.

About what I bought.....
The Finish Quantum Qs gave overage, the Colgate was free after Q and +Up Reward, and the Purex, Motrin PM & Hair Coloring were better than free after Qs and +Up Rewards(and SCR for the Hair Coloring).
Overage that Qs(including the $5 of $20 Purchase Qs)gave me went to help cover the other items that weren't free.  I bought Hash as #2 son would live off of this stuff if I let him and our stockpile of it is gone....it is also a very good price even if you can't get it for free after overage and Qs.  It rarely goes on sale for $2 at the grocery store here so at $1.50 a can I am buying every.single.can.I.can.get.
We are also almost out of kitchen bags.  I know, I know....plastic is evile but DH insists on them.  As he does the garbage I don't want to rock that boat just yet. ;-)
At any rate, it is all stuff we will eat/use.....well, that Airwick thing might go into the next BORING BLOG BOX GIVEAWAY! 8-))
