A storm is heading into town in the wee hours of the morning tomorrow so I hiked up to Rite-Aid to spend these +Up Rewards that were expiring on Saturday and beyond, since I won't be able to get there tomorrow.
Pay attention to this transaction so you can run up to your Rite-Aid before this sale ends on Saturday evening and try to do it.....this lot was bought on brother in-law's card.....
2 x Finish dishwasher ORANGE gel pacs on sale BOGO=$6.79
1 x Finish dishwasher tabs on clearance 50%=$4.14
1 x Simplify facial tissue on sale=.59¢
Subtotal.....$11.52
Used no Qs so paid with $11 in +Ups and .56¢(.52¢ + .04¢ tax)out of pocket.
Does sound like such a great until you notice the TRY ME FREE Q on one of the orange gel pac boxes....
So spend $10.93 on dishwasher tabs/pacs, get $4.50 back(max. for the Try Me Free Rebate), makes the cost $6.43.
Add in that there is a $3 +Up Rewards when you spend $10 on select products this week, and Finish is one of the products.
So with the $3 +Ups I earned, the cost is now $3.43 for 3 boxes....or about $1.15 per box.
Nice.
See if your store has any clearance Finish products and orange gel pacs with the TMF Rebate sticker.
You can also supplement your $12 purchase with ZipLoc bags(as those qualify for this +Ups Deal)and there is a $1/2 IPQ at Coupons dotcom for those.
Then I bought on my card.......

1 x B2G1F Mars candy Q=$.59
1 x $1.50/1 Speed Stick Catalina Q=$1.50
Coupon Total....$2.09
$9.14-$2.09=$7.05
I paid with $6.50 in +Ups, so paid out of pocket .55¢.
I received $3.98 in +Up Rewards back(2 x $1.99 Sinful). Even though one of the polishes rang up $1.59(color was KISSY)it still generated a $1.99 +Ups.
Whatever.
Then I did this transaction back on bil's card......
2 x Yogi tea w/20% discount $3.75=$7.50
1 x Scott TP 12 pack on sale=$7.49
1 x Simplify Facial Tissue on sale=$.59

$25.58-$14.15=$11.43
I used $11 in +Up Rewards and paid out of pocket .43¢.
I received $1 +Ups back(for the Scott tp)too.
Before these purchases, I bought $200 in Home Improvement gift cards-my converting cash into gift cards($100 on each Wellness card)and earned $40 in +Up Rewards. We know we will be spending this $200 and more on house stuff at Lowe's/Home Despot anyway, so why not get a bonus $40 in free script to spend on toiletries at Rite-Aid? ;-)
So today I spent OOP $1.58 for all this, I'll be getting a $4.50 rebate and I earned $47.98 in new +Up Rewards.
And I bought home $77.26 in food/toiletries to use.
I also got a rain check for the .59¢ facial tissue boxes deal since I bought the last couple on the shelves today. Come February we'll probably need more tissues so why pay more than I have to for them? 8-))
What did you get at Rite-Aid this week?

What did you get at Rite-Aid this week?

I literally rushed to RA after reading this post on Friday. I purchased four boxes of "All in One" Powerball Finish BOGO for $5.95. So, I have spent $11.90 and can get back 2 X $4.50= $9.00+ $3 in Ups= $11. I had no coupon. In reality, I am paying $0,90 for four boxes? Did I get that right? If so, maybe I am really sold. I do resent buying dishwasher detergent. So, free suits me.
ReplyDeleteNow, I have a big question. How do I send in the original receipt to get the $4.50 twice?
I hurt so much that I thought I was going to pass out from the pain. I left the walker at home in my rush and forgot to take in my cane! But, for this kind of deal, I can stand a lot of pain. Thanks for the post.
Oh, max is one rebate? I will take back all four, rebuy 2 at a time, losing the Ups. Then, I can send in one; exbf can send in another and I will pay about $.50 for each. I put away the figures before I wrote this last comment, so I may be slightly off.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I didn't mention the rebate is a limit of 1 per household/address. Usually mail in rebates are limit 1 so I figured everyone would know that already. 8-(
DeleteOh, yes, I did since that is always the case. I figured as much but then when I HAD to buy them on the same transaction, I just let it go because it was still a good deal. Now, I don't know what I will do. Probably just keep it because it is still less than I will have to pay later. I had slept maybe four hours for five or six days in a row. I did better on the post I am going to put up on Sunday.
DeleteI am sounding like an idiot! I did know that this was one rebate per address, since I tried to get these on separate receipts. Actually, the bogo and $3 Ups puts my boxes at $1.10 each. So, it appears we basically spent the same amount for each box of 20, using different routes. I must do this more often and better. Wasn't there a coupon in the paper lately?
