Wednesday at Rite-Aid....Just a Few Things

I have a ridiculous amount of +Up Rewards to roll by Feb.5th when they all expire.  This week's ad, for me at least, has little that I want/need beyond the trip I made on Monday to buy Fish Oil/CoQ10 and Lightbulbs.
This is making me nervous since after that trip I still had $132 in +Ups to roll.
Egads!
Thankfully next week Rite-Aid is LOUSY with GOOD DEALS for me!!!
I've already started plotting out what I am going to get.  There will be many many trips to Rite-Aid next week.

I went back this week and used a couple of rainchecks and coupons I had that were expiring and also got some more lightbulbs using BIL's card.....

 2 x Precise Cream  raincheck price $2=$4.00
3 x Light bulbs on sale $1.99=$5.97
2 x Milky Way Bars on sale 2/$1=$1.00
4 x R-A Soup on sale .69¢=$2.76
2 x Spic N' Span Cloths on clearance .50¢=$1.00
SubTotal.....$14.73

Coupons Used
1 x $6/2 Assorted McNeil items(Precise included) ManuQ=$6.00
1 x .50¢/2 Milky Way Bars IPQ from coupons dotcom=$.50
2 x $1/2 R-A Soup IPQ from pdf sent to me=$2.00
1 x $1/2 Spin N' Span items IPQ from coupons dotcom=$1.00
Coupon Total....$9.50

$14.73-$9.50=$5.23 OOP
I used 5 $1 +Up Rewards and put the .23¢ on my free Rite-Aid gift card.
I received back $5.97 in +Up Rewards(3 x $1.99)for the Light bulbs.

So I "rolled" $5 +Ups to the 2/12 expiration date.  I now have ONLY $127 in +Ups left to roll next week.lolol
Be sure and come back next week and what me go mad trying to roll these things without buying stuff we don't need/can't use! ;-)

More Video Fun with Sluggy

Since yesterday's post with the clip from "Kiss Me, Kate" was so well received, I have another one for you today.

My blogging buddy over at I'M SO PRETTY I FART FAIRY DUST mentioned her love of the classic film "Singing In The Rain", so I went digging for a clip to share from that film.  Here is a neat one and probably one you haven't seen very much, if at all.
Everyone knows the "Singing in the Rain" Gene Kelly number and the Donald O'Connor "Make Em Laugh" showstopper, but how about the one I found?

I just love Mr. Kelly and I stand in awe of his abilities, especially since I studied tap dancing.  It may look easy but tap takes incredible Balance to do it well.....something I wasn't born with, balance.lol
I also took lessons to learn how to roller skate and earned a Badge for it in the Girl Scouts.
Yes, you could say in my younger days I was "Hell on Wheels".....lol

As some one who has tap danced and roller skated, I will tell you that the following clip is tremendously impressive.....

Monday's Trip to Rite-Aid....The Heart Healthy/Nature Made Double Dip Deal

After running all over creation Monday.....don't ask!.....I stopped by Rite-Aid to check out the Heart Healthy Nature Made Fish Oil Deal.

This week the Nature Made CoQ10 and Fish Oil Supplements are giving a $16 +Up Reward when you buy $30 worth(that's before coupons but after any Wellness discount percentage you may have).
Even though the Heart Healthy Promotion isn't listed in this week's sales flyer, it has begun.  These Nature Made items also qualify for that Promotion so if you buy them this week, you can double dip the +Up Rewards they generate.

I was armed with my trusty 20% off Wellness discount and my All You 'zine Nature Made Qs so I checked it out.  If you were able to print the $5 Nature Made Qs off of coupons dotcom earlier this month, your deal with be even better! ;-)

1 x CoQ10 reg. $13.49 w/20% off=$10.79
1 x Fish Oil reg. $10.99 w/20% off=$8.79
1 x Fish Oil reg. $18.49 w/20% off=$14.79
Subtotal after 20% off=$34.37

I used these coupons....
1 x $6/1 Nature Made CoQ10 ManuQ(All You 'zine)=$6.00
1 x $4/1 Nature Made Fish Oil ManuQ(All You 'zine)=$4.00
1 x $3/1 Nature Made Any Vitamin ManuQ(All You 'zine)=$3.00
2 x $3/1 Nature Made Fish Oil AdPerks/VV IPQ=$6.00
1 x $1/1 Any Purchase AdPerks/VV IPQ=$1.00
Coupon Total....$20.00

$34.37-$20.00=$14.37

We wer also down to our last 60 watt bulb, so I also picked up 4 boxes of the LightBulbs that are on sale for $1.99 this week.  They also generate a $1.99 +Up Reward, making them free after +Ups!
4 x Light Bulbs on sale $1.99=$7.96

$14.37+$7.96=$22.33+.11¢ tax=$22.44


I paid with $22 +Up Rewards and put the .44¢ change on my handy dandy Rite-Aid gift card.
I received a $10 +Up Reward($10 wyb $30 of Healthy Heart products)and a $16 +Up Reward($16 wyb $30 of Nature Made CoQ10 and/or Fish Oil this week)=$26 in +Ups.
I also received 4 x $1.99 +Up Rewards back for the lightbulbs, so $33.96 +Ups in total.
Spent $22 +Ups, got $33.96 +Ups back.

The double dip +Up Rewards make my purchase a $11.96 moneymaker after Rewards.

If you have the $5/1 Nature Made IPQs your purchase will be even better.
And remember, you can set up more than one AdPerks/VV accounts so get your family members to go watch videos too.  This is how I have 2 of the Fish Oil AdPerk/VV Qs to use.

My store had no signage about a Lightbulb limit, but I hear there is a 6 package limit.
I bought 4 and all 4 +Ups printed.

Just Because.....Musical Fun on Tuesday!

Because I feel like it today.
Go watch this.....

It's a number from the classic 1950's musical film Kiss Me Kate.  When I did summer stock I was involved in a production of the stage version of this show.  It always has been one of my favorites since.  Great Cole Porter songs and a fun plot and characters.

The woman is Ann Miller. You may know/remember her as an amazing tap dancer.

Do you recognize her 3 partners are in this number?

The guy in two-toned pink is Kurt Krasznar....a well known Broadway actor who was also in a fair number of films of the 1950's and 1960's, usually in a supporting role.  You probably won't recognize him from this clip since he was heavier in most of his other films but he had a face you might know, even if the name isn't familiar.

The guy in purple is Bobby Van.  A talented dancer/singer of stage and screen and later of tv game shows(Match Game in particular).  His career was cut short by a brain tumor and he died fairly young.

And the guy in red?
Why that's none other than the legendary Mr. Bob Fosse.  Need I say more?

Great stuff!
Enjoy....
