Everybody Wang Chung Tonight!

Much better finish to my Rite Aid transactions today. I had no problems using all my coupons, other than one cashier not accepting my in-circular coupon for the Clairol. Can't fault him though, I gave him one for L'oreal! Duh. I also found out that one store that I love to shop at is also a GNC location, which means they stock the Everlast items.

Just realized I could have used a $1 off $10 household items CRT on these transactions. Duh
Rite Aid - I read online that the UP Rewards for the Purex sheets weren't printing but they must have fixed it because mine printed just fine.
  • Everlast Energy Drink $5.99, used $10 coupon = $4.01 profit
  • Motrin PM (20 ct) $3, used $3 coupon (4/18 RP) and got back $3 +UP Rewards = $3 profit
  • Finish Quantumatic Detergent Dispenser System $10.99 - 50% off sale so $5.49, used $3 coupon and $4 RA coupon = $1.51 profit
  • Clairol Nice 'n Easy Hair Color $7.49, used $2.50 circular coupon, $1 coupon (6/6 P&G), got $2 UP Reward will get back get back $3 (SCR) = $1.01 profit *This SCR seems to be only valid if RA sends you an email about it. I've never seen them do a rebate like this before
  • 2 Purex 3 in 1 Sheets $3 each, used two $1 coupons, two $2 RA coupons and got back $1 UP Reward (WYB 2) = $1 profit

Too bad you didn't get one of those crt's for the huggies, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for one tomorrow!

And maybe I've missed it, but have you ever shared pics of your stock-pile? Are you renting another apartment to store it all yet : ) Just kidding!

I know, I scanned my card before I started shopping in the hopes of getting one, but nothing good popped out.

I haven't done a stockpile pic in ages. I have some older pics on the blog - click on the Stockpiles link under Labels to check them out.

When you buy the gift cards, you use register rewards to pay for them? I didn't know we could do that.

Erin,
Yup, the RR's say they exclude gift cards but my stores don't have a problem with it. They go through without any beeps.

Do you have any problems using that $10 everlast coupon when Rite Aid's policy is a max of $5 for online printables? Havent' tried it here yet, just wondering if I should - most of my RA's are insane about that $5 limit. I know it has the Rite Aid logo...just wondering if anyone has said anything when you use it.

Mary,
I haven't had any cashiers question me on it and it doesn't beep. But if they didn't allow it, they are perfectly within their rights to do so.
