Using Up Some UP's

Rite Aid - my card. Was planning on picking up two pet beds at $4.99 each, but the store didn't have any so I got a raincheck instead. I'll try another store during the week so I can use up some of the UP Rewards I have that are expiring on 10/2.

• Olay Eye Roller $21.99 and two Olay moisturizers $8.49 each (one rang up with 10% discount so $7.64 and second was 50% off so $4.24), used $1 off $10 Wellness Coupon for skincare, FREE Eye Roller coupon (9/12 SS, max value $19.99) and two $1 Olay moisturizer coupons (9/12 SS) and got back $10 UP Reward (WYB $30 of qualifying items) = $0.88
• eos Sphere $2.96 (reg price was $3.29), will get back $2 (SCR #53) = $0.96
• Aquafina 24 pack water (not in pic) $3.99, got back $1 UP Reward = $2.99
• Used $5 off $25 coupon and six $2 UP's, total was $2.78, overall cost of transaction - $3.78 - not bad for using up so many UP's. I'm hoping another Olay rebate is posted on Olay's website soon and it will turn this into a moneymaker deal for me.

Rite Aid - DBF's card. I didn't have as many UP's to use up on this card, so I just stuck with the Olay scenario.

• Olay Eye Roller $21.99 and two Olay moisturizers $8.99 each (one rang up with 10% discount so $8.09 and second was 50% off so $4.49), used $1 off $10 Wellness Coupon for skincare, FREE Eye Roller coupon (9/12 SS, max value $19.99) and $1 Olay moisturizer coupon (9/12 SS) and $3 Olay moisturizer coupon (not sure where I got this, might have been a home mailer) and got back $10 UP Reward (WYB $30 of qualifying items) = $1.42 profit
• Tugaboos $0.89 ($0.99 reg price, got 10% Wellness discount) = $0.11 profit
• Diet Coke (not in pic, we were thirsty) $1.52
• Used $5 off $25 coupon, $1 UP, $2 UP and $3 UP, total was $2.09, overall profit = $1.91

ShopRite - SR is having three great deals this week on Kraft, Nestle and pet items. You spend $20 on the qualifying items and you get back four $5 cats, good on more Kraft, Nestle or pet items. They aren't good right away though, each is valid for a specific week.

• 4 Philadelphia Cream Cheeses $0.99 each and Kraft Deluxe mac & cheese $2.50, used $5 Kraft coupon (off any 5 Kraft items)
• 4 Crystal Lites $2.99 each
