Hounding the Day Away

Price Chopper

• 4 Softsoap Soap Dispensers $1 each, used four $0.40 coupons (1/29 SS) = $2.40 or $0.60 each 
• 2 TruMoo Chocolate Milks $2 each, used two $0.55 coupons (2/12 SS) = $2.90 or $1.45 each
• 4 Francesco Rinaldi Sauces $1 each
• 2 PC Sugars $2 each
• Total was $13.63

Expected the TruMoo and Softsoap coupons to double but they didn't.  Bummer!

Rite Aid - spent all but one $15 UP.  At the first store I went to, the $15 UP's only scanned as $7.50 off.  Although I'm not terribly surprised, I can't believe RA would do this. There's no way for the register to know if the $15 UP being used was part of the glitch or not.  Sometimes I'm amazed RA is still in business with some of the stunts they pull.  The cashier at the first store took off $15 for each UP with no problems.  The second store sometimes gives me issues with coupons, but luckily, the UP's wouldn't scan at all so they manually entered them in as $15 off.  Here's what I got:

• 4 Ruffles Chips and 1 Doritos $3.43 each ($4.29 reg price, 20% discount), used two $1 off 2 tearpad coupons for the Ruffles and use these towards a $10 rebate on salty snacks (WYB $15, Heineken HKNNA027 or Newcastle NBANA006)
• 2 Clorox Cleaners $2.63 each ($3.29 reg price, 20% discount) and will get back $1 (SCR #37, WYB 2)
• 2 Loofahs "Delicate"  variety $1.83 each ($2.29 reg price, 20% discount)
• 2 RA Soap Refills $4.50 each
• 6 Loofahs "Cleaning" variety $1.59 each ($1.99 reg price, 20% discount)
• 2 Shaving Soaps $2.23 each ($2.79 reg price, 20% discount)
• Neutrogena T-Gel Shampoo $7.99 ($9.99 reg price, 20% discount)

• 2 RA Dusters $6.99 each, BOGO 50% off sale
• 4 7-UP 2 liter bottles $1 each + $0.05 bottle deposit on each, got back $1 UP (WYB 4) and will submit for $2 Miller NBPR rebate on one 12 pack or three 2 liter bottles of soda (105275) = $1 for all four
• 3 Snickers bars $0.99 each, B2G1 FREE
• 4 RA Cotton Swabs $2.39 each ($2.99 reg price, 20% discount), got back two $1 UP's ($1 UP WYB 2)
• RA Cotton Balls $1.99 ($2.59 reg price, 20% discount)
• Spent $14.87 cash all in all ($6.13 was tax)

I feel a bit relieved to have spent most of my UP's.  I've got a $15 UP and a $20 UP for next week, plus a couple $1 ones.  Why is it that when I'm trying to not spend money in a store, my total keeps creeping up.  But when I'm trying to find things to buy, nothing looks good.  It took me forever to decide on all this stuff!

Tried to pay using a $10 catalina I'd earned earlier in the week on the Sobe/Lipton but it beeped and said I'd exceeded the quantity allowed for this item.  I used a different SR card to buy these than when I'd bought the first set.
