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.  ;-)
