I Went to Rite-Aid This Week

I have a $20 +Up Reward expiring on Sat., 2/9.  With the snowstorm heading this way, I went Thursday to spend it, instead of waiting until the weekend.

Most of the freebies and almost freebies were gone already.
My mission was to get as close to $20 OOP after coupons and buy only items we can use....


2 x Arm & Hammer Laundry Detergent on sale $3.99=$7.98
2 x Gillette disposable Razors on sale $7.49(Gold discount less at $6.39)=$12.78
2 x Hall's cough drops on sale $1.50=$3.00
2 x Reach Toothbrushes on sale $2.99=$5.98
1 x St. Joseph Aspirin on sale=$4.99
SubTotal.....$34.73


Coupons Used
1 x BOGO Gillette disposable Razors ManuQ(2/3RP)=$6.39
1 x $2/1 Gillette disposable Razors ManuQ(1/20SS)=$2.00
1 x $1/2 Hall's cough drops ManuQ(1/6SS1)=$1.00
2 x $1/1 Reach toothbrush Tearpad Q(from dentist office)=$2.00
1 x $2.25/1 St. Joseph item ManuQ(2/3SS)=$2.25
Coupon Total....$13.64

$34.73-$13.64=$21.09+.03¢tax=$21.12
I used my $20 +Up Reward and put the  $1.12 on my Rite-Aid gift card.

I received back $9 in +Up Rewards(2 x $2 Arm&Hammer, 2 x $2 Reach, $1 Halls).
I have $28.75 in tracking for the February Anniversary Promotion.

I had a Load2Card digital Q for $1/2 Reach toothbrushes but it didn't come off.  I was expecting my total after Qs to be $20.12 instead.  Oh well.  Those L2C Qs are hit and miss so badly that I NEVER count on them anymore.
bleh.

  1. I have been waiting to hear about your January Finish Bonanza. Did I miss it? I think I got rid of the Finish coupons just before you said you were going to get the free Finish to last you the year. I do not use Finish, but for free dishwashing, I can. How often do you use your dishwasher each week.

    Or, am I off on any of this? Did I dream it? If I am dreaming of you and coupons, I need to readjust my life.

    1. I didn't do the Jan. Finish Bonanza this year. I had something like 43 boxes leftover from previous years still so I didn't feel the need. With 4 people here, we do a dishwasher load about every 3rd day, so about twice a week.

    2. I suppose I will have to remember to save the Finish coupons toward the end of the year and get it done next Jan. Thanks.

    1. If I didn't have +Ups to roll Frances, I probably wouldn't have been back yet either. lol

  4. You're good! I haven't been to Rite Aid in a few weeks. We're pretty much stocked, except for kid's tylenol. Since the end of November, we've gone through 6 bottles! Once they are over 5, it's like 1/3 of the bottle per dose or something! I'm waiting for my BFFs at Rite Aid to have another sale on the generic.

    1. I remember the kids do go through the Tylenol fast once they aren't toddlers anymore!
      Get ready to go to R-A.....starting Sunday R-A brand children's Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen are BOGO. ;-)
