Rite Aid Trip - 10/9

Today was my first attempt at rolling +UP Rewards at Rite Aid. I walked in with $10 +UP Rewards, earned from a purchase made last week.

The basic rules for using +UP Rewards - Your purchase amount must equal or exceed the value of the +UP Reward (can't use a $5 +UP to pay for a purchase totaling $4.99). They can be used on any item, excluding tobacco, stamps, gift cards, lottery tickets, or alcohol.

With those basics in mind, I set out with a pretty straight forward, two-transaction plan that not even my surly, "I ain't gonna put no coupons in manually," cashier could screw up...though, boy, did she ever try.

Here is what I landed for $1.17 out of pocket (pre-tax), thanks to the saving of a much friendlier, and tech savvy, 18 year old store manager.



Transaction 1:


2 Sauve Professionals Conditioners (included travel size hairspray bonus) - $2.69 each
BOGO Manufacturer Coupon (10/2 Smart Source Insert)
- $2/2 Ad Perk Video Values Coupon (Click on Hair Care, watch the brief Sauve video, print coupon)
= two for $0.69

Earn $1.49 +UP Reward

Burt's Bees Throat Drops - $1.49 (limit 1)
