I went out on Sunday and hit Ollie's(to use another 15%Q), Kohl's(too spend my free $5 script)and to a different Rite-Aid. I had Bonus Cash expiring and a $7/$35 Catalina Q so here is what I bought on my card and of course there was an issue......

Total.......$53.00
$59.70-$53.00=$6.70 + .11¢ tax=$6.81 paid for with Bonus Cash
I earned back $6.00 in new BC for the menstrual discs(2 x $3)
I also earned $1 in rebates at Ibotta on the Kotex item so even with all the issues this was a .19¢ moneymaker. 8-)
Now let's talk about everything that went wrong with this transaction--
* The condoms were suppose to be 75% off but rang up 50% off(same with the menstrual discs but I let that one go-you will see why soon). I didn't catch the price problems until after she finalized the transaction. So I pointed out the price issue on the condoms and after checking that these were suppose to be 75% off the cashier attempted to return and rering them so the difference I was owed would go back onto my Bonus Cash. hahaha Rite-Aid has changed it's system in such a way that this can't be done. When she attempted to return the condoms they came up as a $1.28 return each. WTF?! Ok, even if you deduct the $5 Q that was used they should have come up as a $1.49 return each. I am thinking that if you get back BC on a transaction(even if the item being returned didn't give any BC they are deducting the BC over the WHOLE transaction so every item has a bit of BC attached to it?
That's the only logical reason this happens. So back to the return. After about 15 mintues the cashier "solved" the return. She had me use my driver's license, then she rang the return, but just one of the boxes(sine that would be the same amount due to me)and it rang up for $6.99??? I paid $6.49 each.
So she looked at me and said, "Can you live with that?" Of course I said fine-I had been in thh store way to long at this point and giving me an extra .50¢ didn't hurt much. LOL I didd eventually scan my reward card in and assumed I'd get $6.99 back on my BC but the register drawer popped open and it prompted the cashier to give me $6.99 in Cash. I didn't object. ;-) Instead of counting out .99¢ in cash, she popped a penny from their "if you need a penny" pot in the drawer and gave me $7.......
1 x Nestle flavored water 75% off=.87¢
1 x V8 Energy drinks 75% off=$1.62
1 x Centrum calming vitamins 50% off=$9.99
4 x Wink condoms 75% off=$12.96
You work hard for your money!
ReplyDeleteI watched two videos on the flex discs. The woman stated they were 8 for $20. That is enough for 4 days since they can only be left in for 12 hours. So, that would have been $50 each month for me. Wow. Glad you got those cheaper. They sounded crackly! I can imagine walking along and making a crackling sound. Does anyone know if these can be heard when in use?
I suppose Tommy was really entertained (NOT) while eating breakfast. I could not find my headset.
And you are using those condoms for? I thought you wanted grandkids.
ReplyDeleteSelling them on eBay or giving to the food bank. This baby factory went out of business YEARS ago! lol
DeleteOh, my baby factory has been shut down for over 30 years and dismantled 5 years ago. But, when in business, it would have been costly with the discs. It seems like Diva Cups would be a better choice.
DeleteI have to be careful with the CoverGirl. Shelf price is not what rings up so I was short too.
ReplyDeleteIf I had bought 4 items, 2 would have been 50% off, only buying 3 I didn't count on the one that got discounted. duh.
