Rite Aid Deals - 10/17

Inspired by my trip on Saturday and the deals that were available again this week, I made a quick run to Rite Aid on Sunday night. I talked to the shift manager (or was it supervisor?) as I was shopping, trying to confirm what coupons I could and could not use together. Surprisingly, there were things I didn't think I could do that he told me I could. He explained that it was all in the presentation. Making sure to use $/$$ coupons first, then any $ off coupons, then any BOGO coupons - this would allow me to maximize my savings. He confirmed that I could use an ad coupon and a manufacturer coupon, or a video value coupon with a manufacturer coupon.

Armed with that info, I headed to the register and the cashier was super helpful as well.

Total $15.95 (plus tax, $17.96 total). I earned $2 and $3 Up+ Rewards. I will submit for $23.95 in SCR.

Transaction #2
2 - Old Spice Red Zone Deodorant
2 - Old Spice Red Zone Body Sprays (never used these, but they were free)
1 - Reese Snack Size
6 - Arizona Iced Tea

-$1 $1/2 Old Spice mfg coupon
-$4.49 Old Spice Buy One Deodorant Get One Body Spray mfg coupon
-$4.49 Old Spice Buy One Deodorant Get One Body Spray mfg coupon
-$1 Reese video value coupon
-$1 Video Value, any non-prescription purchase

Total $5.52 (plus tax, $6.37 total). Paid with $2 and $3 Up+ Rewards and $1.37 OOP. Earned $2 and $2 Up+ Rewards. Turns out that she didn't scan my Up+ Rewards card until after ringing my BOGO coupons, so she took off the shelf price instead of the sale price. I wasn't expecting the second Up+ Reward for the Body Spray, but evidently that is how it works at Rite Aid.

For the trip, my total OOP was $19.33. I have $4 in Up+ Rewards remaining and I will be submitting for $23.95 SCR. (So, would that be a profit of $8.62?) What a deal! Now I just need to make sure that I don't fail to spend my $4 in Up+ Rewards.
