But that's not what happened.
After much wailing and gnashing of teeth(by the cashier)and two, count 'em two managers putting their heads together over this(price modifying an item at a reg. sale price to free with a raincheck went ok but price modifying an item that was on sale AND was free after raincheck put the cashier into a tailspin, thus 2 additional people playing with the register), here is what my transaction looked like.....
4 x Lay's Chips BOGO sale=$7.98
1 x Renpure Shampoo(raincheck)=$0.00
1 x Renpure Shampoo(raincheck)=$5.83!!! --suppose to be $0.00
5 x R-A TP(raincheck from Mar?)=$0.00

1 x R-A Ginger Ale w/wellness discount=$.80
1 x R-A Raisins w/wellness discount=$1.35--suppose to be $1.00
1 x Foster Grant kid's sunglasses=$0.00--suppose to be full price $7.99, says raincheck?
1 x StyleScience kid's sunglasses=$6.39--suppose to be 50% off $3.49
2 x Seattle's Best Coffee drink w/wellness discount @$1.19=$2.38
SubTotal....$25.72--suppose to be $24.63
Coupons of $24.32(they took .04¢ off one of my free Lay's Qs because the register showed I would have been NEGATIVE .04¢ if they put it in for the full $3.99 value)
$25.72-$24.32=$0.00
Honest to Gosh my register receipt says TOTAL....$.00.
And I didn't even use a single +Up nor whip out my gift card.
HUH??? LOLOL
I know it doesn't add up correctly and I've been over the numbers line by line about 20 times, but the receipt shows a $.00 Total.
I think the problem started when the cashier started one of the Renpure Shampoos and had a problem/called the manager over but when they figured out what to do, she rang up a different item and made one of the sunglassess free instead(when it should have been $6 something)and then I just got a wellness discount on the Renpure instead of getting it free.
After the first laborious 28 minute transaction, I wasn't about to make them redo it for a .27¢ difference.
I'm sure Rite-Aid will get that additional .27¢ outta me in the future. ;-)
So, I paid $0.00 OOP and I received $5 in +Up Rewards back(WYB 2 Sunglasses).
If you have need of kid sunglasses, go watch the AdPerks/VV videos for the $5 off Foster Grants and the $5 off StyleScience sunglasses. The sunglasses are BOGO50% until Saturday evening. Your kid sunglasses will run you approx. $11.50 with the sale. Deduct $10 in Qs for a total of around $1.50. Use $1.50 in +Ups and you'll get a $5 +Up Rewards so it's about a $3.50 +Ups moneymaker.
HERE'S A NEWBIE COUPONING TIP--If you have a FREE ITEM Q, wait until a BOGO sale to use it. This will get you 2 items free for your Free Item Q instead of 1. (Especially now since you can NOT use a BOGO Q with a BOGO sale at Rite-Aid to get 2 items free.) By doing this I made my 2 free chip coupons stretch to 4 free bags!
