Using Up the +Ups

I went to Rite-Aid to use up the last of my +Up Rewards this week......


1 x Northern TP w/RAIN CHECK=$5.37
2 x Finish Dishwasher Tabs on sale $3.99=$7.98
2 x Dark Chocolate covered Cherries 75% off=$1.24(for 2)
2 x Wrigley's Gum Tin 75% off=$2.48 *1 not pictured*
Subtotal.....$17.07

Coupons Used
2 x $2.15/1 MQ Finish Dishwasher Tabs=$4.30
1 x .75/1 IPQ Northern TP=$.75
1 x $1/1 Load2Card came off, NO CLUE what it was for!=$1.00
Coupon Total.....$6.05

$17.07-$6.05=$11.02

I used my $10 in +Up Rewards and paid $1.02 OOP.
I go no new +Ups back.......sniff, sniff

So.....unless a really stupendous deal comes up in the next few months, I won't be spending any more money for awhile at Rite-Aid.

Dishwasher tabs and TP were needs......the chocolate covered cherries not so much.  But who can resist dark chocolate covered ones! lol

The gum tins were bought ahead for stocking stuffers for next Christmas.  I would NEVER shell out $4.99 for 3 packs of gum, unless it was 75% off or more.  And gum, unlike chocolate or some candies will keep until next December.  I have now bought 8 gifts for next Christmas and spent a total of $21.07 for all.  All items were on deep discount, at least 40% off, plus I used +Ups and Kohl's cash on 5 of them and on the online purchase I used a coupon code which paid for the shipping on 4 items plus gave an additional 10% off on my order(of items 40-70% off retail).

There are no toiletries we are out of or we need to stock up on at this point.  Thanks to buying those Home Improvement gift cards in Nov/Dec. at Rite-Aid and the +Ups they generated, we are loaded up on toilet paper for at least 6 months and shave cream/shampoo/toothpaste/toothbrushes for at least the next year.

Did you do any Rite-Aid shopping this week?  Did you find any great deals?
