Here's what we did Friday on BIL's card after he opted out online in the morning.
Remember, he has $6 in +Ups loaded onto his card from last week. And I have $35 in paper +Ups, $32 of which I can use today.
10 x Assorted 2ltr. sodas on sale $1=$10.00
2 x Glad Trash Bags on sale $4.49=$8.98
2 x No Nonsense Socks BOGO50% sale=$6.48
1 x Plastic Drawer thing 50% off=$3.49
1 x Plastic Tote thing 50%off=$1.49
SubTotal.....$30.44
Coupons Used
2 x $1/3 2ltr Dr. Pepper sodas AdPerk Qs=$2.00
2 x $2/1 Glad trash bags AdPerk Qs=$4.00
2 x $1/1 Glad trash bags IPQ=$2.00
Coupon Total....$8.00
$30.44-$8.00=$22.44
The $6 load2card +Ups applied bringing my total down to $16.44.
I used $16 of my +Up Rewards from yesterday and put the .44¢ on my gift card.
I received back $14 in +Up Rewards(2 x $3 Gatorade/Pepsi weekly and monthly, $3 WYB2 Glad, $5 WYB2 Nononsense).
And I'll submit the 2 plastic things for SCR #65 Get $5 cash back WYB 2 Gracious Living plastic ware items. My local store doesn't stock this stuff. I spent $4.98 in +Ups and I'll get $5 cash back....sweet!
Basically with this order, plastic containers were free, the trash bags were free, the 6 pr. of socks were $1.48 for all and the 10 2 liter sodas were $2 for all after coupons and +Up Rewards.
I'm 'down' $2 in +Ups but "up" $5 in cash rebates. 8-)
Transaction 2 went like this.....
10 x Gatorade NO BLUE ONES!lol on sale $1=$10.00
2 x Brach's Candy Corn Mix on sale $1=$2.00
2 x Mott's Applesauce on sale $2=$4.00
SubTotal....$16.00
Coupons Used
1 x $1/2 Brach's bagged candies IPQ=$1.00
$16.00-$1.00=$15.00
I used $15 in +Ups so $00 OOP.
I received $8 in +Up Rewards back (2 x $3 for Gatorade/Pepsi weekly and monthly, $1 WYB2 Mott's, $1 WYB2 Brach's candy corn).
In this order, after coupons and +Ups, the Gatorades were $4 for all(or .40¢ a piece), the candy corn was free and the applesauce cups were $1.50 per 6 pack(cheaper than the house brand on sale at the grocery store).
I used $15 and got $8 +Ups back, so I am 'down' $7 +Ups.
I now have $1 +Ups left from Thursday, $3 +Ups from this morning and $22 +Ups from Friday, so a total of $26 to use on Saturday.
The problem is only having 1 day left to roll these +Ups. I planned out 2 transactions and I need to use $28 in +Ups for them(but I can only use $26 tomorrow), and I'll get back $18 in new +Ups. This means if I buy everything I want to tomorrow, I'll have to spend $2 of ACTUAL money again!
Not liking this new rule at Rite-Aid.

This is off topic, but I'm hoping you can help... I like to read Frugal Makes Cents but I cannot get on since I am not 'approved'. Do you know how I can become 'approved'? I do not have a way to contact the blog...
ReplyDeleteTHANKS!!
Hey there,
DeleteI don't know what's going on with Precious either. I got the same only invited readers message yesterday when I tried to access her blog. I don't have her email addy to contact her. I guess I'll put a post up and hope that she sees it and gets in touch and/or fixes it. Wish me luck! ;-)
