Profit on Vitamins

Rite Aid - my card. The vitamins on the left are from this transaction:

• 6 GE Extra Soft White Light Bulbs (4 pk) $1.99 each, got back six $1.99 UP (Limit 6) = FREE
• 3 Nature Made Fish Oil plus Vitamin D (90 ct) $12.79 (reg price $15.99, 20% Wellness discount)
  
• 3 Nature Made Fish Oil (1200 mg, 100 ct) $8.79 each (reg price $10.99, 20% Wellness discount)
• Used one $4 Fish Oil coupon (Feb. All You magazine), five $2 coupons (1/2 SS) and two $3 RA coupons (one was from Jan, one from Feb)
• Paid with $20 Gift of Savings certificate, $20 Resolution Rewards (from last month), $16 in UP's and $1.08 cash

Got back two $16 UP's ($16 WYB $30 of Nature Made C0Q10 or Fish Oil vitamins) and two $10 UP's (Heart Healthy promo, $10 UP WYB $30 and a second $10 UP when you reach $50 of select items - valid until 3/26). That makes this transaction a $6.86 profit. Also, all the items I bought count towards the Winter Rewards program ($20 UP WYB $100 of select items, valid until 2/26) so now I have $76.67 towards the $20 UP and it was all better than free! I'll finish that reward out next week by buying the free Stayfree.

BONUS - the Heart Healthy UP's are valid until 4/9!

Then at another store, I did the same deal on DBF's card (vitamins on the right). The selection of vitamins was different, so I had to play around with the math a bit. You have to get $60 total in vitamins to get both UP's and there are tons of different types of fish oil, all at different prices. The optimum scenario would be to just buy the C0Q10 vitamins and use $5 coupons, but I think it might be hard to find enough in stock at any one store to do that.

• 6 GE Extra Soft White Light Bulbs (4 pk) $1.99 each, got back six $1.99 UP (Limit 6) = FREE
• Nature Made C0Q10 Vitamins (30 mg, 30 ct) $10.39 (reg price $12.99, 20% Wellness discount)
• 4 Nature Made Odorless Fish Oil Vitamins (60 ct) $9.19 (reg price $11.49, 20% Wellness discount)
• Nature Made Omega-3 Fish Oil (180 ct) $13.59 (reg price $16.99, 20% Wellness discount)
• Krazy Glue $2.39 (reg $2.99)
  
• Used $6 C0Q10 coupon and $3 coupon for any vitamins (both from Feb. All You magazine), four $2 coupons (1/2 SS) and $3 RA coupon (this was from Feb, I never watched the video for this from Jan on this account - bummer!)
• Paid with $20 Gift of Savings certificate, $20 Resolution Rewards (from last month), $14 in UP's and $2.08 cash

Got back two $16 UP's ($16 WYB $30 of Nature Made C0Q10 or Fish Oil vitamins) and two $10 UP's (Heart Healthy promo, $10 UP WYB $30 and a second $10 UP when you reach $50 of select items - valid until 3/26). That makes this transaction a $7.86 profit.
