Exciting Morning at Rite Aid

With list in hand and coupons ready, I arrived at my local Rite Aid at 8:40am. In my pocket was $27 ups and two $3 surveys to start my journey.

 The following transaction (1) would have cost at regular price 44.01 + 3.08 tax = $47.09

I bought 8 assorted Revlon tools at 40% off for a total of $11.21 (money maker, get $4 ups, wyb 2 tools)
And I bought 2 Proglide razors at (reg 13.29) $9.99 apiece. $4 coupon on each.
total $23.19 plus $1.82 tax

paid with $3 off 15 survey
2 $1 video values
and $17 up rewards
= $4.80 out of pocket

received $26 up rewards, $5 ups for each razor, $4 ups for each 2 tools.
26.00 - 23.19 = $2.81 Profit.
Even after paying $1.82 in tax it is still a $.99 Profit.


That was the first transaction. Here is the second.

2 Raid sprays (5.49) $2.99 each
4 Crest (4.29) $2.99 each, $1.50 coupon each
3 Profoot (9.99) $5.00 each, $1.00 coupon each, $2.00 video values
7 carefree (1.69) $1.00 each, $.50 coupon each
2 Breathe Right $5.99, $5.99 coupon each
Phys Formula $13.95 each b1g1free, $5.00 coupon each, $2.00 video values
5 Excedrin (5.49) $1.99 each, $1.00 coupon each
$75.82 - $42.48 coupons = $33.34 plus tax 2.32

paid with $3 off 15 survey
and $28 ups, the ups I just earned above
$4.66 out of pocket

earned $12 ups, $2 for raid, $8 for crest, $2 for profoot
Regular price for transaction 2 is $136.57 + 9.56 tax = $146.13

Not bad at all. Only $4.66 out of pocket for $146 of products.

Then I noticed that the breathe right counted on the $5 ups for $25 allergy promo. I had 2 more breathe right coupons. So I proceeded with transaction 3.

I purchased 2 breathe right for $6.49 each.
Regular price $12.98 +.91 tax = $13.89
Used coupons for $5.99 each.
$1.91 out of pocket, $1.00 + .91 tax
Received $5 ups

Final total from all 3 transactions
 207.03 Regular Price
   11.37 Out of Pocket
   21.00 ups to use next purchase
     3.00 survey to take
   10.00 scr

No matter how you want to add these figures. This was a great shopping day!
