3 x Mentos Now mints on sale $1 each=$3.00
SubTotal......$9.00

Coupons Used
3 x .50/2 Orbit Manu Qs=$1.50
1 x BOGOF Mentos Now Mints Manu Q=$1.00

$9.00-$2.50=$6.00 + .12¢tax=$6.12 Paid with Plenti Points.

I earned back $3 in new PPs(2 x $1 wyb3 Orbit gum, $1 wyb3 Mentos mints)so I "spent down" $3.12 in PPs.


Another Rx picked up on Tuesday so I bought this too......

8 x Mentos rolls on sale 4/$2=$4.00

I had a $1 wyspend $4 on Candy Rite-Aid Catalina that kicked out on Saturday so this cost me $3.00 for all, which was paid for with Plenti Points.

I also earned back $2 in new PPs($1 wyb2 Mentos x 2)so in the end all 8 rolls cost me $1 in Plenti Points.

17 packages of candy/gum for $4.12 in Plenti Points.
These will make cheap stocking stuffers for Christmas(or I can give some out for Trick or Treating at Halloween, or I can tuck some into future Giveaway boxes).  8-)

The Return of Rite-Aid

Guess who went back to Rite-Aid yesterday?
Yep, THIS slug!

Here is all that was a good deal or free I could find in my store......

2 x Dove men's body wash on sale=$8.00
2 x Reach toothbrushes on sale 50% off=$4.48
SubTotal....$12.48

Coupons Used
1 x $2/1 Dove body wash Load2CardQ=$2.00
1 x $2/1 Dove body was ManuQ(last Sunday's RP insert)=$2.00
2 x .75¢/1 Reach toothbrush IPQ(coupons dotcom)=$1.50
Coupon Total.....$5.50

$12.48-$5.50=$6.98 + .27¢ tax=$7.25

I used 400 Plenti Pts($4)and paid $3.25 OOP.....well not really OOP since I used a Rite-Aid gift card I bought 15% off months earlier so that spending is already accounted for in my budget.

I earned 400 new Plenti Pts on this transaction(200 wyb2 Dove body wash, 200 wyb2 Reach toothbrushes)so my Pts. total stays the same at 600 Pts.
In addition I have a Savingstar account and had clipped a $2 off 1 Dove body wash from there so I'll get $2 cash back in that account at a later date which takes my "OOP spending" down to $1.25 for these 4 items.

My store is the higher priced one around here so I spent .48¢ more on toothbrushes than most people who do that deal this week.

As for this new program--I am still not loving it!  You won't be seeing as many posts on Rite-Aid shopping here until this Plenti thing goes away(and with Rite-Aid's track record it will be going away, hopefully sooner than later). ;-)
I frankly don't "need" any toiletries due to my large stockpile but if something is free or close to it and we can use it, I will go in to get it.

I still have some CVS gift cards from years ago which I hope are still good.  I may have to break down and take a trip into the valley cities and try to wrack up some good deals there again.

Have you been to Rite-Aid lately?
What good deals did you find?
