Rite-Aid This Week....Sunday's Trip

Went up Sunday evening and bought this on my card......I had $16.+ tracking on this card toward the $5 Cough/Cold +Ups Deal.......

4 x Excedrin on sale $3.99=$15.96
1 x Theraflu on sale=$5.99
4 x Ivory single bar soap on sale BOGO50%=$3.00
SubTotal.......$24.95

Coupons Used
1 x $2/$15 of Pain Care items R-A Q(mailed to me)=$2.00
3 x $3/1 Excedrin Catalina Q=$9.00
1 x $2/1 Excedrin Catalina Q=$2.00
2 x $2/1 Excedrin VidoeValuesQ=$4.00
1 x $3/1 Theraflu Catalina Q=$3.00
1 x $3/1 Theraflu R-A FacebookQ=$3.00
Coupon Total......$23.00

$24.95-$23=$1.95 + .11¢=$2.06

I used $1 of +Up Rewards and paid $1.06 OOP.
I received back $12 in +Up Rewards(2 x $1 Excedrin, 2 x $5 wyb2 select soaps).

The limit on Excedrin +Ups you can receive is 2 per account/card, but I had a $2/$15 headache care Q to use so had to buy all 4 on 1 card so missed out on 2 +Ups.
That's ok though since the single bars of soap are generating a $5 +Ups wyb2.
This more than made up for the Excedrin.
If you want to do this soap moneymaker get to the store quick since once Corporate figures it out they will take the single soap/small packs of soap off the +Ups Deal(they usually do).  ;-)

I now had $22+ tracking on this card for the $5 Cough
/Cold Deal and had $2.46 tracking on the Arm & Hammer Deal(from 2 weeks ago when I bought Spin Brushes) so I bought this stuff to finish off those +Ups Deals and get the Rewards......

2 x BC cookie mix on sale=$4.00
1 x Theraflu on sale=$5.99
2 x Arm & Hammer toothpaste BOGO=$7.48
SubTotal......$17.47

Coupons Used
1 x $1/2 BC baking items VideoValuesQ=$1.00
1 x .75¢/2 BC baking items IPQ(coupons dotcom)=$.75
1 x $3/1 Therflu CatalinaQ=$3.00
1 x $3/1 Theraflu R-A FacebookQ=$3.00
1 x $1/2 Arm & Hammer toothpaste=$1.00
Coupon Total......$8.75

$17.47-$8.75=$8.72

I used $8 of +Ups Rewards and paid .72¢ OOP.
I received $8 in  new +Up Rewards($3 wyb $10 Arm & Hammer, $5 wyb $15 Cough/Cold)

The BC cookie mixes track toward a $5 on $15 Baking items +Up Rewards.  They "cost" me $2.25 for both after Qs but I'll get .75¢ back for their purchase in my SavingStar account so actually will end up costing me .75¢ each.

I need to check out what else qualifies for this $5 Baking +Ups in the coming weeks.  I think the Sun-Maid raisins which I planned on buying in a week or so when they go on sale again are part of it.

I also discovered that these Theraflu count toward another $5 rebate in my SavingStar account.  Spend $18 on Theraflu/Triaminic, Scotties tissues, Dial foaming soap and/or Soft Scrub and get a $5 cash refund.  I have $11.98 tracking toward that reward now too.
If I buy another Theraflu and 1 box of Scotties(on sale at Weis this week for $1) that would put me over the min. purchase requirement.


Then I bought more soap on my son's card.......

2 x Ivory 3 packs on sale BOGO50%=$2.98
2 x Olay 2 packs on sale BOGO50%=$5.68
SubTotal.....$8.66

I used $8 in +Up Rewards and paid .66¢ OOP.
I received back $10 in new +Up Rewards(2 x $5 Soaps wyb2).

The Ivory 3 packs are a $2.02 moneymaker and the Olay 2 packs "cost" me .68¢ total.
So why not buy some, right? lolz

Total +Ups spent.....$17
Total +Ups earned....$30
Total spent OOP.....$2.44
Total value of items....$73.86

Not bad and I only have $6 in +Up Rewards to roll/spend at this point before they expire on Christmas.

* 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......

And then it's on to figure out my R-A transactions for next week.
Rite-Aid is a two edged sword at this time of year......so many great deals but so exhausting! lolz

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!

 

Congratulations Cindi!!!
Please shoot me an email with your mailing address and I'll get this box of goodies on it's way to you on Monday.

As always thanks to all of my readers who enter these giveaways and thanks for coming back to read all about my boring life on this boring blog.
I am thankful for all of y'all. 8-)
