Circle of Nothingness

Note to self - do not put tape over a receipt. The sticky stuff sucks up all the ink and you'll be left with a circle of nothingness. I had planned on using this receipt towards the JF Flyaway Tamer rebate, but since the item is now invisible, I had to come up with an alternate plan. I'd picked up a third Wellness card a while back for some fantabulous deal at Rite Aid. I do all my rebates in triplicate (my address, da boyfriend's address and my parents' address) but for whatever reason, I only do Rite Aid rebates at my and DBF's address. Its time to branch out! I watched the neverending barrage of hair care videos to get the $2/$10 Full Repair coupon and off I went to the store. I'm going to submit for the Complete rebate at my parents' address.
Rite Aid - no discount on this card b/c I use it very sparingly
  • John Frieda Full Repair Shampoo and Full Repair Conditioner and Root Awakening Shampoo ($5 each) and Full Repair Flyaway Tamer ($9.99), used $2 Full Repair RA coupon (April Video Values), four $2 coupons (3/6 SS or here), got back $10 UP (WYB $20, monthly deal) and will submit for TMF rebate on the tamer = $5 profit
  • Complete Multi-Purpose Solution (12 oz) $7.99, used $1 coupon (4/3 SS) and will get back $7.99 (SCR #24) = $1 profit
  • Used $3/$15 survey coupon and $1 off total purchase coupon (April Video Values) and $15 in UP's, total was $2.52, overall profit $8.46
Walgreens
  • Carefree Pantiliners $0.99, used $0.50 coupon (3/27 RP) and got back $0.99 RR = $0.50 profit
  • 2 Always DriLiners Plus (30 ct) $3 and DriLiners Plus (34 ct) $4.29, used two $1 coupons (4/3 P&G) and get back $4 RR = $1.29
  • 7 Snickers Chocolate Eggs (1 oz) $0.29 each, used two $1 off 2 coupons (3/20 or 4/10 RP) = $0.03
  • Total was $5.95
I was expecting both Always packages to be $3 and therefore both would be free, but I should have paid more attention to the signs in the store. I could return them, but I just didn't feel like bothering. The profit of buying two Carefree's cancels out the cost, so I'm ok with that.

Its the SCR for the Complete contact solution through Rite Aid.

Is there a TMF peelie/tag on the J Frieda? I've seen these in my stores, but no peelies. I wouldn't mind buying this item if there's a printable rebate.

Pubbler,
Yup, found them at Walmart. Here's a pic:
