I've got a couple of cashiers at my Rite-Aid who treat me right.
Sometimes people who shop there are in a rush and when a catalina Q prints out they don't take it.....when this happens and it's a Spend $X/Get $X Off Catalina Q the cashiers tuck them under the money drawer in the register.
They give them to folks they know and like who are regular shoppers in the store.....like me!
In return I have been known to help customers find things in the store and print coupons at home for one of the cashiers who doesn't have a printer.
I put together another transaction on Saturday and bought all this..........
1 x Gillette men's razor 20% Wellness disc.=$6.79
1 x Venus women's razor 20% Wellness disc.=$7.99
2 x Caltrate bone health BOGO50%=$14.98
1 x Advil sinus/Allergy BOGO50%=$8.29
1 x Emergen-C item BOGO50%=$3.14
SubTotal......$41.19
Coupons Used
1 x $8 wyspend $40 CatQ=$8.00
1 x $2/1 Gillette men's razor ManuQ=$2.00
1 x $3/1 Venus razor ManuQ=$3.00
2 x $2/1 Caltrate item ManuQ=$4.00
1 x $2/1 Advil allergy ManuQ=$2.00
1 x $2/1 Emergen-C ManuQ=$2.00
Coupon Total......$21.00
$41.19-$21.00=$20.19+.61¢ tax=$20.80 paid for with Bonus Cash.
I earned $13 in new Bonus Cash($8 wyb2 Gillette razors, $5 wyspend $25 on pain relievers)so spent down BC by $7.80.
I also earned another $5 Paypal reward(Pfizer Spend $25/Get $5 Deal)and I received $4.00 back in SavingStar cash rebates($2 Caltrate,$2 Advil Sinus/Allergy)so in the end this transaction was a $1.20 moneymaker. 8-))
On Sunday I went up to R-A and wanted to use a Spend $30/Get $6 Off CatalinaQ, so I did this transaction..........
2 x Tums sugar-free on sale $3.99=$7.98
2 x Suave shampoo BOGO50%=$4.18
4 x Degree deodorant BOGO50%=$11.68
4 x Bic items on sale 2/$3=$6.00
2 x XL candy bars 20% Wellness disc.=$3.82
SubTotal......$33.94

2 x $1.50/1 Tums sugar-free ManuQ=$3.00
4 x $1/1 Degree deo IPQ=$4.00
1 x $2/wyspend$4 Bic IPQ=$2.00
2 x $1/1 Bic ManuQ=$2.00
1 x $1.50/2 XL Hershey bars R-AQ=$1.50
Coupon Total........$22.50
$33.94-$22.50=$11.44+.26¢ tax=$11.70 paid with Bonus Cash.
I was suppose to get back $6 in new Bonus Cash(3 x $2 wybw Suave/Degree/etc.)which would have made this a $5.70 spend down in BC EXCEPT.......
The cashier screwed up the transaction to my benefit.
She forgot to put my coupons through before finishing the transaction.....so she had to return everything and re-ring it all. With so much in coupons, $22.50, she couldn't just do a "post coupon" and hand me that in cash, so we re-rang it all.
This meants that I got 4 x the Suave $2 BC(the 3 x ringing it all up the first time, plus one more on the rering as that deal had a limit of 4 per card/account.....had the limit been 6 I would have gotten $12 in BC total).
So instead of "costing" me $5.70 in BC this all only "cost" me $3.70 in BC.
Also, because of the snafu at the register, I have credit for buying 4 Tums when I only purchased 2, so I only need to buy 4 more to get to $30+ spent and earn a $10 reward.
Those Tums sugar-free Qs that have been printing on every receipt I get can stack with Tums ManuQs or IPQs. The Tums are $3.99 this week and are part of a Spend $30/Get $10 BC digestive deal. If you have enough receipt Qs and reg. ManuQ/IPQs so you can stack the discounts, getting to $30 spent would be easy without actually spending much at all.....and then you'd get $10 in Bonus Cash back.

You did well with the mistake. Our RA has closed down.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear the cashiers at RIte Aid treat you right. Sounds like a mutual beneficial relationship. They help you out and vice versa. :)
ReplyDeleteOur Rite Aid is closing here. There are about 3 of them here, I don't know if the other 2 are closing or not.
Looks like you got some more great deals.
I have no idea how this works, but I love to read your posts.
ReplyDeleteThey had better you are a #1 advertiser for them.t
