He MUST BE, to want to go shopping with me, right?lol
Actually, he DID have an ulterior motive....he wanted a Zippo lighter. Hubs thinks he is responsible enough so he lets #2 son burn incense in his room. #2 son wants to be cool and own a lighter to light his incense.
He saw one he wants last night at Rite-Aid and if I pay with my wellness discount he'll get it cheaper.
That's my son!lolol
So we went in and right at the door was all the Halloween candy marked down to 75% off....Reese's and Butterfingers, etc. for $1 a bag. Instantly #2 son forgot the lighter plan and was drawn zombie-like to the chocolate, clutching a $20 bill in his hand.....
I had a $10 +Ups that had to be rolled or spent this week and I didn't see much to roll it into another $10's worth of +Ups or a high enough SCRebate, so I blew that $10 +Ups on candy. Yeah, not the brightest idea I've ever had but whattheheck. ;-) I'll stash it away for Christmas or dole it out in small chunks so #2 son doesn't inhale it all by Wednesday.
Here's what we did.....

$33.08-$18.00=$15.08
$15.08-$15 +Ups=$.08 Out of Pocket put on free Rite-Aid gift card
*Actually I used $15 in +Ups instead of my son's cash & a few $ in +Ups, and I kept the $11 cash(light w/disc. + tax), so basically I flipped $11 worth of +Ups.
And there were $1/2 Peelie Qs on 2 of the Beggin' Strips I noticed after the transaction was done so I got $2 cash back for those Qs, so the transaction ended up looking like this....
$.08 on gift card
$13 cash back to me(son's $ and $2 for Qs)
$15 +Ups spent($13 of it flipped into Cash, $2 actually 'spent')
And I received $7.49 in +Ups back($1 x2 Nivea, $2.50 Crest toothpaste, $2.99 Oral-B toothbrush), instead of being 'down' $2+Ups, I am 'up' $5.49 +Ups.
I know this is perfectly clear.....lol

Great deals, as usual!
ReplyDeleteThats a great deal on the Beggin Strips. I know that I could never do those calculations in my head. I would be there with my phone trying to figure out if I got to 25 dollars yet!!!
ReplyDeleteFrances--Thanks for stopping by Frances!
ReplyDeleteApril--April, I rarely do the calculations in my head...I write them down on paper and bring that to the store.lol I also bring my calculator with me to figure my wellness discount price on occasion as well as any last minute things I see. The Beggin' Stips were a really good deal and that was before the $5 off $25 coupon too. With those 2 peelie Qs added in, 4 bags cost me $1.99, so 50 cents each! I'm just thankful the store had 4 bags(they had 7 actually)....usually on items like this they don't stock many.
My advice is to have your transaction written down and the math figured out BEFORE you hit the store. ;-)

ReplyDeleteROFL!!! I can totally picture this.
