Sobe It!

I had to go into NYC today for a meeting.  Getting into the city, finding the right bus/train/whatever, hauling ass across town, the whole thing just stresses me out.  I hate the crowds, the smells, the rush of it all.  After the meeting was done and I headed back home, I could feel myself relaxing with each passing mile.  Its so nice to be home!


ShopRite

  • 10 Lipton/Sobe Drinks $1 each, got back $10 catalina (WYB 10) = FREE
  • Total was $10.63

Word is that this catalina rolls!  There was some speculation since the circular says limit one.  I'm drinking the fruit punch Sobe right now and its delicious!  


Rite Aid - did this on the same card as yesterday

  • 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 Act Mouthwashes $3.99 each ($4.99 reg price, 20% discount), used four $1 coupons (these beeped, 1/15 SS *Expire 2/14), got back two $4 UP's ($4 WYB 2, Limit 4 offers) = $3.96 or $0.99 each
  • Used two $15 UP's and $4 UP, total was $4.09
Got back $20 UP for spending $100 on the Buy & Save promo!

Then I started working on DBF's card - 


  • 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
  • 2 Act Mouthwashes $3.99 each ($4.99 reg price, 20% discount), used two $1 coupons (these beeped, 1/15 SS *Expire 2/14), got back $4 UP (WYB 2, Limit 4 offers) = $1.98 or $0.99 each
  • RA Cotton Balls $1.59 ($1.99 reg price, 20% discount)
  • Used two $15 UP's, total was $1.21
I'm trying to keep my out of pocket cost as low as possible.  So with each transaction, I'm going to buy an additional $7+ of whatever so I can use two $15 UP's.  What a great way to get a bunch of items that aren't normally on sale or things I need!

So at Rite Aid the strangest thing happened. Today on 2-14 I got 3 Zoom reading glasses, 9.99, 11.99 & 4.99. The cashier and I noticed on the receipt that 3, 15ups printed! Yes, that is 3. Strange right?!

Thanks for the tip!

Jenny,
Rite Aid has to be the most confusing store out there! I got the same thing yesterday afternoon (around 5 pm) and then went to another store about an hour later and got NO UP's whatsoever. Folks are reporting they're still getting UP's on cards that haven't been used on this deal yet, but there's no knowing how long this will last. RA certainly keeps us guessing!
