* I discovered on this trip that my Rite-Aid no longer carries those individual Cella chocolate covered cherries by the register!  That was my go to item to get me over the next dollar of spending so I could use a particular +Up Reward amount.  Oh dear, whatever shall I do now?!? 8-(

Be glad that this coming week I only have 2 transactions(so far! lolz)to do.  ;-)

I'll try to think of something more interesting to blog about this week......

The Giveaway Winner

First off let me say that Sluggy screwed up!

I didn't provide the link in yesterday's blog post about the giveaway, the link to the post where y'all were suppose to put your entries for the Giveaway.
So I got a slew of entries on yesterday's post instead of on the actual giveaway post.
sigh.

So I bent the rules since it was my goof and added all the entries on yesterday's post to the giveaway entries.

With that being said, I put everyone's name(or email addy)onto slips of paper and picked a slip out of a hat.

And the winner is.........

 

Cindi!

More Rite-Aid......What Else? lolz

I am sorry if I have been a "One Note Song" lately but I am still deep in the clutches of Rite-Aid Madness!
And like the old saying goes......"Make hay while the sun shines."
Well it's not exactly shining but it did stop snowing here long enough for me to get out of the driveway and down to Rite-Aid to roll my +Up Rewards.

The weekly truck was suppose to be in today with new stock, but with the weather delivery has been delayed until Friday.
Yikes!  The sale week is over on Saturday so this has been a bit of a disappointing week at my store.
Add in that it was deserted today as most of the employees were sent home because there was no new stock to put out.

I managed to find a few things to buy nevertheless.......don't I always?

First I had a $10 off $50 purchase Catalina Q to use.

2 x Tresemme 'Poo on sale=$7.98
2 x Garnier face cleansers on sale BOGO50%=$13.18
6 x Purex detergent on sale BOGO=$19.47
4 x Renuzit air fresheners on sale BOGO=$3.98
2 x Sinful nail polish 20% wellness disc.=$3.18
2 x Satin Care shave foam on sale BOGO=$3.49
SubTotal......$51.28

2 x .50/1 Satin Care IPQ=$1.00
Coupon Total.......$29.18

$51.28-$29.18=$22.10

I used $22 in +Ups and paid .10¢ OOP.
I received back $20 in new +Ups($3 wyb2 Tresemme, $5 wyb2 Garnier, 2 x $5 wyb $10 Purex, 2 x $1 Sinful).

I "spent down" by $2 on the +Ups.  I could have rolled fully except I bought Garnier face wash which were slightly more than the cleanser wipes, so in the end each one "cost" me $1.09. 8-)

The Catalina machine spit out a $1/2 M&M bagged products Q and the register receipt printed with a $1.25 off 2 Sinful nail polish Q.  I hadn't done the nail polish +Ups Deal yet on 1 card and I had printed out the M&M's $1/2 VideoValuesQ so I got this stuff......

2 x M&M's on sale=$4.00
2 x Sinful nail polish 20% Wellness disc.=$3.18
2 x Biore face cleansers 50% clearance=$7.98
SubTotal.......$15.16

1 x $1/2 M&Ms Catalina Q=$1.00
1 x $1/2 M&Ms VideoValuesQ=$1.00
1 x $1.25/2 Sinful polishes RegisterQ=$1.25
Coupon Total.......$3.25

$15.16-$3.25=$11.91 + .11¢ tax=$12.02

I used $11 in +Ups(couldn't use $12 because it would have been into the tax amount)and paid $1.02 OOP.
A rare "having to pay over a dollar" scenario.
Ouch! ;-)

I received $2 in new +Ups(2 x $1 Sinful).
I sure wish I had Biore Qs but this was a great 50% off clearance find anyway.  I now have enough facial cleaners to get College Boy through until Summer.

Total +Ups used.....$33
Total +Ups received....$22
Spent OOP.....$1.12
Value of Items Bought.....$144.50
