Look into my eyes, deep into my eyes...

 
So, I do think this fall owl statue is kinda cute and for $3.99, I'm willing to spend an UP or two.  But, here's what really drew me in.  Da boyfriend hates birds.  Something about a rogue parakeet when he was younger.  Its so much fun to torment him!  I bought this bird clock at Pier One before we moved into the house but sadly, it kept losing time so we tossed it.  I couldn't let our house be bird-less, now could I?
Rite Aid - back for more!  Bought this stuff on my non-discount card - 

  • Restless Legs Cream 4oz $11, used $2 RA coupon (Magni Life product) and got back $11 UP (Limit 1) = $2 profit
  • Samy Fat Foam Hair Color $8.99, used $5 coupon and $6 in-circular coupon = $2.01 profit
  • 2 Anacin (50 ct.) $4.99 each, used two $1 coupons and got back $4 UP (Limit 2) = FREE/$0.01 profit 
  • No Nonsense Knee Highs (box) $5.99 and 2 pack $1.34 (BOGO 50% off), got back $3 UP (WYB 2, Limit 2) = $4.33 or $0.36 per pair of knee highs
  • Used $1 UP, $3 UP, $7 UP and $11 UP, total was $0.93.  My cost for this transaction was $0.93 - not bad for all those knee highs!
Then finally at another store and with my 20% card - 

  • 6 NYC Nail Polishes $0.79 each ($0.99 reg price, 20% discount) and got back two $3 UP's ($3 WYB 3 nail polishes, Limit 2 offers) = $1.26 profit
  • 2 Anacin (50 ct.) $4.99 each, used two $1 coupons and got back $4 UP (Limit 2) = FREE/$0.01 profit  
  • 3 RA Pantry Juices $0.80 each ($1 reg price, 20% discount), got back $1 UP (WYB 3, Limit 2 offers) = $1.40 or $0.46 each
  • Wall Hanging $6.49 and Owl Decoration $3.99 (50% off sale), got back $2 UP (WYB $10, Limit 2) = $8.48
  • Used two $1 UP's, $5 UP, $7 UP and $11 UP, total was $1.84

Cute huh?

I'll be hiding behind your boyfriend if I ever come visit...that owl gives me the heebie jeebies! (Sorry!) The rest of the stuff is really nice, though! Just not the big scary owl. Do his eyes follow you when you walk by him?

Mary,
He's not so bad, just don't get too close. hahaha

Can you tell me if UP rewards are linked to your card? I have not shopped at Rite Aid for a few months so I was wondering if they changed anything because I have two cards.

Nope! Here's hoping that doesn't change any time soon. :)
