My Rite Aid Trip 2/26

Today, I hit up Rite Aid bright and early.  I was excited to get some stuff since I already had $16 in +Up Rewards left from last week.

Here is my trip:

                $20 Winter Rewards +Up (The shave gel put me over my $100 requirement for this reward)

Transaction 3

1 Blink Tears Gel - $7.99

1 Bangor Daily News - $2.00

Subtotal $9.99

Used $1/1 Blink Tears Printable (said redeemable at Walmart but was a manufacturer's coupon)
         $8 +Up Rewards

Paid (after tax): $1.39

I could have done way better than I did OOP if I had split up my transactions more to roll the +Ups. I've heard from some people that if you don't wait long enough between transactions, the totals might not update fast enough and rolling Ups (like the Buy and Save or the P&G ones they run every now and then) wont' print because the computer hasn't caught up to your total yet.  Also, our store didn't have sale flags up yet so I wasn't sure if the products I had were definitely included and I didn't want to worry about Ups not printing and screwing up my next order.  I actually paid for the Hydro Gel as soon as I got to the store to see if my $20 Winter Rewards would print then or if I would have to wait for the next transaction. 

But, considering I walked into the store with $16 in +Ups, spent $19.07 total, left with $22 in +Ups, and have a $7.99 Single Check Rebate for the Blink Tears coming my way, I did pretty well! It is a GOOD week at Rite Aid!
