The 3 Day Rite-Aid Bender

**If the deals at Rite-Aid make you yawn, just skip to the bottom of this post for the Totals.
I promise something NOT Rite-Aid next post.  ;-)

So I set out Saturday to find 10 boxes of Keebler products on the shelves to do that Deal I mentioned on my last Rite-Aid post.  (Buy 10 Keebler items on sale for $1.99, use $1/2 Qs, get $10 in +Ups back and submit for the $10 Keebler Rebate found in the Keebler booklet found in grocery stores.)
Well, this transaction turned out even better!
Because that Keebler booklet also had a coupon for $2 off 2 sodas when you buy 2 Keebler cookies/crackers.
So instead of having to use $5.10 in filler items to get my transaction to $25 so I could use a $5 off $25 coupon too, I bought 6 2 liter bottles of 7-Up, which were on sale for $1.33 and gave a $1 +Up Reward when you bought 3 in one transaction.
So here's how it went down...
6 x Cheez-Its=$11.94 *1 box is missing...the teens ate it already.lol
4 x Keebler cookies=$7.96
6 x 7-Up bottles=$6.66 *My wellness disc. made the price less than the sale price-$1.11 per bottle.

SubTotal of $26.56

Used...
$5 off $25 Q=$5.00
5 x $1/2 cookie or cheez-it Qs=$5.00
3 x $2/2 soda wyb 2 Keebler items=$6.00
Coupon deductions of $16.
Balance of 10.56.
Used $10 in +Ups, put $.56 on my Rite-Aid gift card.
Received $11 in +Ups back(1 for each cookie/cracker and 1 for 3 bottles of 7-Up)
If there wasn't a limit on the 7-Up deal of 1, I would have gotten 2 $1 +Ups for a total of $12.
Oh well...I can live with that.lol
So basically everything in this transaction was free and I just rolled those $10 in +Ups.
Sweet!

Then I stopped in to my local Rite-Aid that evening while I was out grocery shopping....



After coupons, the ColorSilk was $.50 ea., the Summer's Eve was $.63, the Renuzits were -$.24, the Tugaboo trial size was -$.21, the Hand Sanitizer was $.99 total for both, the Edge gel was $1.89 total for both(1 BOGO Q and a $1.50 adperk/vv Q stacked) and the Skittles were were $.25 ea. so $1.50 for all 6.
Subtract the $4 off $20 Wellness AdPerks/VV Q and we end up with $.56 total OOP put on a Rite-Aid gift card.
Nothing gave +Ups in this transaction.

**Actual on the receipt was $19.29


$26.85-$19.29=$7.56.
I used $7 +Ups so $.56 OOP put on Rite-Aid gift card.

I received $8 in +Ups($2 Herbal Essence, $2 Colgate toothbrushes, 4 x $1 for buying 8 Thanksgiving food items).
I wanted to do the $4 +Ups wyb 10 items that were $1 each but even with getting to the store by noon on Sunday, they were out of the ones I wanted.  They started the sale that morning with very little of those items on the shelves and I've seen others have complained that their stores were similarly SO Understocked!  Rite-Aid missed out on some big bucks with this one.....


Then I stopped in later that evening to use those $2/1 Clairol family Qs on some Herbal Essence(a Clairol product).....



4 x Blistex on sale $1.50*1 rang up $1.43=$5.93
3 x Herbal Essence 'Poo on sale $2.99=$8.97
1 x Tugaboos trial pack w/wellness disc.=$.79

3 x $2/1 Clairol product ManuQ=$6.00
2 x $5/1 Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick Q mailed to wellness members=$10.00
Coupon Total....$23.00**'
Some how 1 of my $1 Qs didn't come off. I forgot my Tugaboos $1 Q and I think the Blistex Qs stuck together...ugh.
So coupon total is $22.00


$27.67-$22.00=$5.67
I used $5.50 in +Ups so $.17+$.50 in tax=$75 OOP put on my Rite-Aid gift card.
I received back $14 in +Ups(3 x $2 Herbal Essence 'Poo, 4 x $1 Blistex, $4 WYB $10 in Revlon/Almay).

The Blistex was giving out $1 for EACH item, not $1 for 2 items as the flyer stated.  That has since been corrected and it's only giving 1 per 2 items as of Monday.
Please note that the Almay/Revlon $4 +Ups deal is a LIMIT 1 per card.

  4. Good news. I found my 10% off coupon, it was still attached to the reciept that I had folded up in the Bee M.D. rebate form that I never mailed last month!

    I went last night and bought the shampoo with the coupon and the toilet paper. Then I couldnt use the freaking 10% off because the items were on sale so it just wasnt meant to be.

    So I paid 5 and got 3 ups. Not as good as you but its a learning process. Now I just need to mail in that rebate! I am at 190 points right now.

  5. No kidding on that canned goods $10/10 deal! I lucked out as the first shopper looking for 10 cans total, anyone after me was SOL. Your Keebler deal made me weep :) You are amazing!

  6. LisaPie--I finally got my survey answers up....sorry to make you wait. ;-)

    Frances & Alex M.--What can I say? I just love my Rite-Aids! I don't shop much anywhere else, except the grocery stores. Now if RA was not a friendly place or was crowded, I probably wouldn't go so much. It's the only place I can go and NOT spend money so what's not to like?!lol

    April--So glad you found your discount paper..a good thing about not mailing your Bee MD rebate quickly!
    Now just save it for things that aren't on sale....does the paper expire?
    Hey, anything you can save when buying HBA/food is GOOD!

    Pretty--Yah, there was an old lady in front of me with all the carnation evap. milk and pumpkin in her cart. grrrr
    Well in her defense it was only 4 cans of each.lolol
    Man, when my brain realized the soda would be 11 cents a bottle and I'd make money on the deal because of it, it was a "skies opened up and the angels descended singing" moment.lol
