Rite Aid Shopping Trip 7/31/12 = 90% Savings!

I decided to go coupon shopping to Rite-Aid today. I really needed the Shampoo and Conditioner so I gave into my anti-riteaid strike and decided to go. Why was I going through an anti-rite aid strike? I was very mad that here in Utah they decided to go to a “digital” +Up Reward Program. In other words, they load my +Up rewards to my wellness card, and I can not use them until 6 am the next day. This makes it very hard for me because I loved doing two transactions and rolling the rewards. BUT I decided that I can just do one big transaction every week or other week and hopefully it will work out. I will keep you updated. This is my first time shopping at Rite-Aid since last December. I was going through withdrawals a little. LOL. So here is my trip this week.

Transaction 1:

(2) Dawn Hand Renewal $0.47 each

(1) Lanacane Cream FREE

(1) Oral-B Toothbrush FREE + $0.75 money maker

(1) Crest Toothpaste FREE + $0.75 money maker

(1) Revlon Tweezer, (1) Revlon Nail Groomer, (2) Revlon Nail Files FREE + $6.64 money maker

(4) Dove Shampoo, Conditioner (1) Suave deodorant $3.84

(4) Pantene Shampoo, Conditioner $4

Total BEFORE Coupons/Sales $79.27
Total Paid $32.51
+Up Rewards Received $28
Final Cost $4.51 (tax was $3.62 of that)

Transaction 2: (because you can only use two dove coupons in one transaction)

(4) Dove Shampoo, Conditioner (1) Suave deodorant $3.84

Total BEFORE coupons/sales $23.02
Total Paid $9.91
+Up Rewards Received $5
Final Cost $4.91 (tax was $1.07 of that)

Overall the final cost for everything was only $9.42! Original costs were $102.29. That makes a savings of almost 91%! That is only about $0.50 per item!

WAHOO! It was worth the trip…if I can make sure that everything goes well with my next trip or two and the digital rewards I will be ok.
