Okay, so Rite Aid is kind of like CVS, because they have the program where you can earn +Up rewards with certain purchases, etc. But, typically I find CVS to be a bit more user friendly, but when I saw how I could stock up on GREAT products before flu season, I couldn't resist! I enlisted the help of a fellow blogger for this success story, and although I had a few changes... I did pretty well!
There were TONS of +Up rewards to be had. I did 3 transactions:
First Transaction:
2 Carefree Pantiliners $2/2 ($1 off Rite aid coupon and 2 $.50 MF) = FREE
Preparation H Totable Wipes $3 (got 3 +Up rewards)
Cloraseptic Spray $3.99 (3 +Up Rewards)
Bayer Asprin $2.99 (2 +Up Rewards)
Comtrex $3.99 (3 +Ups Rewards)
Total OOP $10.54
got $11 back in +UP Rewards
Second Transaction:
Blistex Lip Ointment $1.49 (1.49 +UP Rewards)
Burt's Bees Thorat Drops $1.49 ( 1.49 +Up Rewards)
NeilMed Nasa Mist Spray $5.00 (5 + Up Rewards)
Cepacol Sore Throat Lozenges $2.50 (2.5 +Up Rewards)
Used $11 + UP Rewards from Transaction #1
Total OOP $2.64
got $10.48 in +UP Rewards
Third Transaction:
Hylands Natural Cough and Cold Medicine $5.99 (5 +Up Rewards)
Zabees Natural Child Cough Syrup $5.99 ($5.99 back from online Rite Aid Rebate)
Emergen-C Immune Shots $3.49 ($3.49 back from online Rite Aid Rebate)
Used $10.48 in +Up Rewards from Transaction #2
Total OOP $5.30
got $5.00 in +Up Rewards
Total Full Price cost before coupons/ discounts $68.18
Total Cost OOP $18.48
$5 +Up Rewards from 3rd Transaction
After Rebates $9.48 is Total Cost for everything!!!!
I just realized, they made a mistake and with the first transaction, they forgot to scan 3 +Up rewards into my second Transaction, so they owe me 3 +UPS Rewards! Should have paid $6.48 for everything :).
I think we're good for the flu season, and paid very little OOP!
