After I went to CVS, I headed over to Rite Aid to score a few things there. I had some +UP Rewards that were going to expire at the end of this week, so I needed to use them. I started with $9.50 in +UP Rewards. I did two transactions. Here's what I bought:
Transaction #1
1 3-pack Rogaine (reg. price $49.99, on sale for $39.99 - buy 1, get $10.00 +UP's)
Total before sale prices applied - $49.99
Total after sale prices - $39.99
I used the following coupons:
(1) $10.00 off any Rogaine (found here)
$9.50 +UP Rewards from a couple of weeks ago
Total after sales and coupons - $20.49 + tax
I received $10.00 +UP Rewards for this transaction.
Transaction #2
1 Gillette Fusion ProGlide Razor (reg. price $10.99, on sale for $9.99 - buy 1, get $5.00 +UP's)
2 Bic Soleil Twilight Razors (reg. price $6.79 each, on sale for $4.99 each - buy 1, get $1.00 +UP's)
1 pack 24-count Playskool crayons (reg. price $1.69, on sale for $0.29)
Total before sale prices applied - $26.26
Total after sale prices - $20.26
I used the following coupons:
(1) $4.00 off any Gillette Fusion ProGlide Razor (P&G Insert, 6/5)
(2) $3.00 off Bic Soleil Razors (Smart Source Insert, 7/10)
$10.00 +UP Rewards from transaction #1
Total after sales and coupons - $0.26 + tax
I earned $7.00 +UP Rewards for this transaction.
Today's Rite Aid trip is a great example of how I don't always get things for free. The Rogaine is something that will never be free, but my husband uses it daily. It costs $50.00 at Wal-Mart, but today, combining sales, coupons and +UP's, I was able to get it for $20.00. Not free or even cheap, but much better than $50.00 for something my husband uses!
