The Perfect Rite-Aid Storm

What happens when Wellness Wednesday Sale with one day coupons(that can stack with reg. manu coupons)meets a 4 Day Sale at Rite-Aid?

You get some awesome deals for pennies(worth of points if you roll Plenti Points)on the dollar!

By combining the Wellness Wednesday coupon and regular manufacturer's coupons plus earning new Plenti Points, I got all this in the photos below(combining transactions from all 3 of our Wellness/Plenti accounts/cards............

I'll say I screwed up big time on the Crest.  The 4 Day Sale $2.99 varieties that gave back $1 in PPs(and had $2 Load2CardQs)was NOT tagged so I bought the wrong ones-the 2/$8 that gave $3 in PPs-and wasted my Qs on those. ugh.

On the Sinus Kit though I had two stackable Qs the register wouldn't take them both so my $8.32-$10 in Qs making it a $1.68 moneymaker didn't happen and I paid $3.23 + tax.  The toothpaste and sinus kit may be returned at a later date but we'll keep those in my total haul for now.

And here is the last little bit when I went to pick up my Rx.
If only there had been more than 2 Remfresh on the shelves I could have made ALL this a moneymaker!

Oh, and I also scarfed up all these freebie samples and most had coupons attached to them.

Burt's Bees, Zim's, Olay, Nexcare, R-A brand nasal strips and some brand of foot lotion I can't remember. lol

So let's see who can come closest to guessing how many Plenti Points I spent down for all this.(Of course, this is Rite-Aid and I didn't pay CASH for any of it!)

I'll reveal how many Plenti Points were spent in Friday's Frugal Friday post tomorrow.

I'll even give y'all a hint and put the "price" I paid for each item after sale/coupon(s) but not the points earned.

I'll also put the tax paid(in points of course)and total the list for ya! ;-)

More Rite-Aid......What Else? lolz

I am sorry if I have been a "One Note Song" lately but I am still deep in the clutches of Rite-Aid Madness!
And like the old saying goes......"Make hay while the sun shines."
Well it's not exactly shining but it did stop snowing here long enough for me to get out of the driveway and down to Rite-Aid to roll my +Up Rewards.

The weekly truck was suppose to be in today with new stock, but with the weather delivery has been delayed until Friday.
Yikes!  The sale week is over on Saturday so this has been a bit of a disappointing week at my store.
Add in that it was deserted today as most of the employees were sent home because there was no new stock to put out.

I managed to find a few things to buy nevertheless.......don't I always?

First I had a $10 off $50 purchase Catalina Q to use.

2 x Tresemme 'Poo on sale=$7.98
2 x Garnier face cleansers on sale BOGO50%=$13.18

I used $22 in +Ups and paid .10¢ OOP.
I received back $20 in new +Ups($3 wyb2 Tresemme, $5 wyb2 Garnier, 2 x $5 wyb $10 Purex, 2 x $1 Sinful).

I "spent down" by $2 on the +Ups.  I could have rolled fully except I bought Garnier face wash which were slightly more than the cleanser wipes, so in the end each one "cost" me $1.09. 8-)

The Catalina machine spit out a $1/2 M&M bagged products Q and the register receipt printed with a $1.25 off 2 Sinful nail polish Q.  I hadn't done the nail polish +Ups Deal yet on 1 card and I had printed out the M&M's $1/2 VideoValuesQ so I got this stuff......

I used $11 in +Ups(couldn't use $12 because it would have been into the tax amount)and paid $1.02 OOP.
A rare "having to pay over a dollar" scenario.
Ouch! ;-)

I received $2 in new +Ups(2 x $1 Sinful).
I sure wish I had Biore Qs but this was a great 50% off clearance find anyway.  I now have enough facial cleaners to get College Boy through until Summer.

Total +Ups used.....$33
Total +Ups received....$22
Spent OOP.....$1.12
Value of Items Bought.....$144.50

These Medi-Soothersalso count toward the Spend $20 on Select Cough/Cold items, Get $5 +Up Rewards.
So buy 4 of these in separate transactions(if your store only let's u use 1 In-Ad Q per), use 4 $3 Qs and pay $11.32(w/20% discount).  Get a $5 +Ups making 4 boxes $6.32.  Not free but a good deal if you need these things.



I then bought 2 Kohl's gift cards for $40 each(not paid for from my food/toiletries budget)and received $20 in more +Up Rewards.
Bonus savings!
College Boy likes to buy his clothing at Kohl's so I'll tuck these back until he needs new clothes.

I might get 2 more $40 cards tomorrow as well on another Wellness account.

+Ups used.......$32.00
