More Rite-Aid & My Shot!

While I was waiting in Rite-Aid for my Covid shot on Tuesday(and then afterwards before they let me leave)I looked around to see if I could put together a transaction using that $10 off $50 Q.  And guess what?  I did!

4 x Caramels and Tootsie Pops on sale=$10.00
2 x 7th Generation wipes 20% Gold disc.=$7.18
2 x Got2Be styling items clearance=$3.98
3 x Almay eye shadow clearance=$6.72
2 x Nivea shave balm 20% Gold disc.=$12.78
2 x Nivea face wash 20% Gold disc.=$11.98
4 x R-A Epsom Salts clearnce=$2.56
SubTotal........$55.20

The only coupon I used was the $10 off $50 so the total was $45.20+$1.74=$46.94 paid for with Bonus Cash and a free R-A gift card.

I earned $15 in new BC($5 wyb2 7th Generation, $5 double dip on the candy bags, $5 wyspend $20 on men's Nivea).

I submitted to Ibotta and earned $21.20(2 x $1.50 Got2Be stylers, 2 x $1.75 Nivea shave, 2 x $2.85 Nivea face wash, 3 x $3.00 Almay eye), .75¢ Nivea Bonus and the $3 Mid Week Moneymaker Bonus so a total of $24.95 cash back.

$15+$24.95=$39.95 earned back so after converting some BC to cash I spent down the BC by $6.99.

Mission accomplished.

I'm feeling less fatigued today so thanks for all the well wishes.
Here's a bit of fun for your Thursday afternoon......

Rite-Aid Transaction on Wednesday

Wednesday was the first time I could get out this week and I had to pick up an Rx so I walked around the store and put together a deal.  Not the best deal but it was ok........

2 x Pirate Booty popcorn on sale=$5.00

2 x Doritos BOGOFree=$4.29

4 x Chez-Its BOGOFree=$5.98

2 x large candy bars on sale=$3.00

2 x Neutrogena eye make-up remover 20% Wellness disc.=$11.66

2 x Neutrogena concealer 20% Wellness disc.=$17.58

1 x Dove men's deodorant clearance=$2.07

1 x K-Y jelly 20% Wellness disc.=$5.99

Subtotal......$55.57

Coupons Used

1 x $10 wyspend $50=$10.00

2 x $1/1 Pirate's Booty ManuQ=$2.00

2 x $1/2 Cheez-Its IPQ=$2.00

2 x .50¢/1 candy bar Instant savings stickers=$1.00

2 x $2.50/1 Neutrogena eye IPQ=$5.00

1 x $4/1 Neutrogena face L2CQ=$4.00

1 x $4/1 Neutrogena face IPQ=$4.00

1 x .75¢/1 Dove men's L2CQ=.75¢

Coupon Total....$28.75

$55.57-$28.75=$26.82+.69¢ tax=$27.51 paid for with Bonus Cash.

I earned back $20 in new BC($3 wyspend $15 foods, 2 x $6 Neutrogena, $5 K-Y).

L2CQs and Instant savings sticker don't count toward the $50 you need to use the $10 off $50 Q...those amounts are deducted so I had to get to $55 since I had a total of $5 in those coupons.  I didn't need those candy bars to hit the $15 spent to earn the $3 on food/snacks like I thought I did.  I would have been better off not buying those and getting 2 inexpensive stationery items(tape)and earning an additional $4 in BC for that.  That would have put me over $54 subtotal and after the $4 Neutrogena L2CQ came off I'd still hit that $50 mark.

That transaction would have been $54.79-$27.75=$27.04+tax and earned me back $24 in new BC so closer to an almost freebie transaction.  

It would have been a moneymaker if I had been able to go R-A on Sunday since I could have submitted the over $25 in Neutrogena for a $10 Visa card offer.  But Mother Nature had other ideas the past few days. sigh.

My Rite-Aid Buys Last Week

 **Until I get a new computer, I'll be posting when this old one let's me, so you may be seeing a deluge or trickle of posts for the next week or so, depending on how cranky my machine is.  I am trying to catch up on posts as I am soooo behind. 8-(

Last week Rite-Aid had an earn $15 in Bonus Cash when you spent $50 coupon.  This stacked on any other BC offers you also earned so a good week to find stuff to get free or cheap.

Let's take a look at the three Rite-Aid transactions I did last week....

3 x Pantene shampoo on sale=$11.49
4 x Carol's Daughter conditioner w/20% Wellness disc.=$12.12

Coupon Total......$18.00

$54.22-$18.00=$36.22+$1.24 tax=$37.46 paid with Bonus Cash

I earned back $37 in new BC(2 x $1 Colgate, 2 x $5 Carol's Daughter, $15 wyspend $50, $10 wybuy $30 P and G).  Not bad.

Then I bought this.....

1 x Tide pods on sale=$5.94
1 x gift deodorant on clearance=$3.99
4 x Carol's Daughter conditioner w/20% Wellness disc.=$11.48
1 x Crest 3D Brilliance toothpaste on sale=$6.39

1 x $2/1 Crest Brilliance toothpaste L2CQ=$2.00
1 x $2/1 Crest Gum and Enamel toothpaste L2CQ=$2.00
1 x $3/3 Pantene L2CQ=$3.00
Coupon Total.......$9.00

$60.66-$9.00=$51.66+$2.57 tax=$54.23 paid for with Bonus Cash.

I earned back $35 in new BC(1 x $15 wys $50, 2 x $5 Carol's Daughter, 1 x $10 wyb $30 P and G).
I spent down the BCs on this transaction by $19.23 but I got $18.97 in Xmas/birthday gift items for half price which aren't pictured obviously so I can't complain. 8-)

I also placed an online order early last week and it arrived Saturday on the high end Andalou products R-A carries.  The Spend $50, Get $15 BC offer was also valid online and here is what I got........

2 x Andalou shower gel w/20% Wellness discount($6.99)=$13.98
1 x Andalou argon stem cell conditioner 20% disc.=$7.99
2 x Andalou lavender shampoo 20% disc.=$15.98
1 x Andalou lavender conditioner 20% disc.=$7.99
1 x Andalou mandarin vanilla body lotion 20% disc.=$6.99
Subtotal......$52.93

I used no coupons(shocking! lol), paid with Bonus Cash and earned back $49 in new BC($15 wyspend $50, 2 x $10 wys $25 Andalou, 2 x $7 wys $25 Andalou).

I spent down that card's BC a bit(I probably could have gotten my total closer to $50 if I had taken more time to figure out a deal-now I see 5 x $6.99 items w/disc. and 2 x $7.99 items w/disc. would have been $50.93 and that would have only "cost" me $1.93 in BC)but I am happy with how this turned out anyway.

Also I saw online that there was another $15 wys $50 coupon online with a different code than the one in the online flyer you could print.  Proof of the 2 different barcodes on the coupons........

This meant you could buy $100 worth last week and earn $30 just on those 2 coupons(not counting sale prices/discounts, coupons and other BC deals that stacked).  Sweet.

I was going to place another online order for the Andalou and work another deal in the store with this second coupon but then I saw that certain gift cards were working with the $15 BC wys $50 coupons. (Gift cards NEVER work with BC coupons at R-A!)
Our refrigerator started acting up recently so I knew I'd be spending big money at a big box appliance store soon so I got these using the second barcode coupon as the Home Depot $50 fixed price was one of the 3 specific gift cards that worked.....

I didn't relish spending $200 on gift cards right now but since I'd be spending money soon at HD why not get the extra $60 in R-A Bonus Cash to spend too? ;-)
