Duh Duh Duh

Rite Aid - used my new card for these transactions. If you're at 10% or 20%, the diapers will ring up less than $10 ($11.99 regular price) so you'd need to buy something else to reach $20.
  • 2 Oral B Cross Action Toothbrushes $2.99 each, used two $2 coupons (got at Dentist's office) and got back two $2 UP's (Limit 2) = $2.02 profit
  • Huggies Little Snugglers Diapers $10, used $3 coupon = $7
  • Used $3/$15 survey coupon and $1 off non-prescription purchase coupon and $2 UP, total was $3.23
Then at the next store, I finished out the Huggies UP deal and messed up the Oral B deal. Its limit 2, so why did I buy four on the same card?
  • 8 Reese's Eggs - 90% clearance $0.08 each, used $0.50/2 RA coupon (April Video Values) = $0.14
  • 2 Oral B Cross Action Toothbrushes $2.99 each, used two $1.50 coupons (5/1 P&G) = $2.98
  • Half gallon milk and smaller bottle $1.49 and $2.39 each
  • Huggies Little Snugglers Diapers $10, used $3 coupon and got back $5 UP for spending $20 worth (Limit 2) = $9
  • Used $3/$15 survey coupon, $5 UP and $6 UP, total was $0.24
All in all, the diapers should have been free with the profit from the Oral B ($20 - $3 Q - $3 Q - $5 UP - $3/$15 - $3/$15 = $3 OOP - minus profit from other items). I can't believe I forgot to check that limit! I'll return the non-UP producing set tomorrow.

My computer is being retarded right now and not letting me cut and paste links. Anyone know how to fix that in IE? The $3 Huggies coupon is listed in my 5/15 - 5/21 post.

I have had the same problem w/cutting & pasting from time to time...usually a restart does the trick.
