I'd like to say this is my last Rite Aid trip, but...

I have one more Rite Aid trip left this week after this one- I have more coupons coming from a friend and once I get them I will go back.

I went to Rite Aid this morning- it went better. I needed $11.64 in Neutrogena- I got $14.38 and I needed $13.64 in Aveeno- I got $16.37. I had written down some examples of scenarios before I went in, and did pretty well keeping close to what I needed to spend to get the +Up Reward and getting things we use.

Transaction #1

4- Oral B Cross Action Power Toothbrush- $5.99 (get $2.99 +UP Reward- limit 4)
4- $3.00 off coupon from 6/5 P&G
** $2.99 OOP PLUS $2.99 +Up Reward! **

Envelopes $2.95 ($3.69 before Wellness Plus discount)- I needed envelopes and like the kind you don't have to lick, so yes, I paid more for these.

$35.65 before coupons and discounts
-$8.74 Wellness Plus savings and sales
-$12.00 coupons
-$10.00 +Up Reward redeemed
-$3.00 off $15.00 survey coupon
-------------------------

-------------------------

+ $1.85 tax
=========================
$4.10 OOP PLUS $10 Aveeno +Up Reward AND $10.00 Neutrogena +Up Reward earned!

Total for both transactions:

$74.09 before coupons and discounts
-$16.44 Wellness Plus savings and sales
-$25.50 coupons

-$3.00 off $15.00 survey coupon
-----------------------------
$4.15 subtotal

=============================
** $7.44 OOP for everything!! **

So, I started out with $25 in +Up Rewards, and ended up spending $7.44 out of pocket and leaving with $31.96 in +Up Rewards. Not too bad! I was also happy because I went to the Cork St. store again (where they have been EXTRA nice and coupon friendly lately!) and was impressed that they had the in-ad coupons taped to the products all over the store and let me use multiple in-ad coupons in the same transations.
