Finally Venturing Somewhere Other Than RA

Rite Aid - I bought the glasses on DBF's card hoping that I'd still get back UP's on them and the $20 Buy & Save promo. It worked! I bought glasses on this card earlier in the week (three at a time) and the UP's still printed.

• 3 Foster Grant Spare Pair Reading Glasses $9.99 each and BOGO 50% off sale, first was $9.99, second was $4.99 and third was $7.99 (20% discount), got back two $15 UP's ($15 UP WYB 2, Limit 4) = $7.03 profit
• 4 Hartz Crunch 'n Clean Treats $3.99 each ($4.99 reg price, 20% discount)
• Starburst Jellybeans $2.39 ($2.99 reg price, 20% discount)
• Conair Trimmer $11.99 ($14.99 reg price, 20% discount)
• Libman Toilet Brush $3.19 ($3.99 reg price, 20% discount)
• 3 RA Apple Juices
• Used four $15 UP's and $1 UP, total was $3.85

Got back $20 UP for Buy & Save promo for spending $100 on qualifying items.  I'm trying to spend up these $15 UP's and leave myself with one $20 UP to roll into next week's deals.  I'm paranoid that RA is going to change the value of these UP's so when you try to redeem them, they won't scan at full value.


CVS

Paid balance with a gift card I got from redeeming the rewards earned on my Discover credit card.  Free money!
